The light smell of milk brought Samuel back to his senses. He looked at Lucas and was in a mixed mood. He didn't know what to say.
Lucas did not speak and sat quietly beside him. He just seemed to want to sit and he didn't care who was next to him.
Samuel found out that he was depressed.
Joseph was also four years old, but he was carefree and willful. He laughed when he is happy and he cry when he sad . On the contrary Lucas is calm and mature.
The first time he saw Lucas was in the airport bathroom. Lucas frowned and begged him. But now Lucas had changed.
What kind of living environment made Lucas developed such a character?
If he was really his son, what happened to him and Nicole all those years?
Samuel had many questions but he didn't know how to begin.
When he hesitated, Lucas spoke.
"Why is my mommy hurt?"
Samuel froze and whispered, "there's something wrong with the car's safety system.
Your mommy is the car designer of my company. She had an accident while driving.
I have to take responsibility. I didn't check the safety of the car in advance. I'm sorry."
He was king of Seapolis. He rarely said sorry in his life, but now facing Lucas, four years old child and apologizing to him came naturally.
Samuel thought it was incredible.
Lucas stared at Samuel.
When Samuel saw Lucas's eyes were very similar to his own. He became more excited. He even wanted to hold Lucas, but he controlled himself. He just looked at Lucas and didn't speak.
Lucas couldn't detect if Samuel was lying.
After all, he was a kid and couldn't tell the good from the bad. But he was angry.
"Why are you so careless? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Why would I do it on purpose?"
Samuel sensed Lucas's hostility clearly.
Lucas hated him!
Although Lucas tried to hide it.
"Because you...Lucas almost said that because you didn't like Mommy and me! You wanted me and Mommy to die!
But he stopped. He seemed to hate his incompetence. He had his back to Samuel.
Samuel was upset.
"Because of what?" Samuel's voice was subconsciously gentle.
Lucas ignored him. He stood up and said coldly, "get out of here. My mommy won't want to see you when she wakes up."
"I'm your mommy's boss."
"I can let her quit."
Lucas turned his back again. He didn't hide his disgust and hatred for Samuel.
Samuel suddenly felt heartbroken.
"Can you tell me what kind of life you and your mommy have lived for the past five years?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Leave now!"
Lucas stood up and quickly returned to the ward and closed the door.
Samuel have never been so disgusted by a person, let alone a child. But he was not angry at the moment. He touched Lucas's hair when he wasn't paying attention. He squinted and went tc another department.
Lucas went back to the ward and was still
angry and pouting. He looked very unhappy.
Olivia smiled and said "what's the matter with
you? Who pissed you off?"
Lucas didn't speak and sat next to Nicole.
After a long time, he said, "Aunt Kent, Mommy is a good person. Why doesn't someone like her?"
Olivia suddenly froze.
She was confused, too.
Nicole was good. Why did Samuel hurt her?
"Well, don't worry about adults affairs, will you?"
"No! I want to make Mommy happy. I have to find a boyfriend for Mommy. Mommy is the most perfect woman in the world. She deserves to be liked by the perfect man."
Lucas' words amused Olivia.
"You are a child. Do you know what a boyfriend is? By the way, who do you think can match your mommy?"
"My godfather!"
Lucas suddenly looked up and said, "my godfather is the most powerful man in the world! And he's very nice to me and my mommy.
He said he could be my daddy at any time if
Mommy wanted to!"
"Who is your godfather?" Olivia never knew what Nicole's life was like in France. Now she heard Lucas say he had a godfather and he was proud. She couldn't help being interested in the man.
Lucas said proudly, "my godfather's name is Allen. He is very kind to me and my mommy."
"Allen?"
Olivia was not in business and was not familiar with the name. She just smiled and said, "since he is good to Mommy, why did you come back with Mommy? Why don't you stay with your godfather?"
"That's because... Lucas stopped in time.
He couldn't tell anyone about his sister Zoe.
Mummy told him that he couldn't let anyone know about Zoe.
Thinking of it, Lucas's eyes darkened.
"Aunt Kent, when do you think Mommy will wake up?"
"I don't know yet. If you're tired, go back first.
I'll be here with your mommy."
Lucas's exhaustion made Olivia sad.
"No, I have to be here with Mommy."
Lucas lay down in bed and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Samuel returned once but Olivia didn't let him
in.
Jacob said that the result of the investigation
regarding the car accident came out. He rushed back at once.
"President Green, someone broke the brakes.
It tampered technically. When Catherine was driving, the brakes broke, so she had an accident."
Samuel was furious when Jacob finished.
"You have to do your best to find out who did it for me."
"Yes!"
Jacob nodded immediately, but he whispered, "President Green, I took Joseph home. Miss George seems to have hit Joseph.
Joseph is crying. Do you want to go back and have a look?" Samuel frowned.
"Didn't he say who was in the computer room before him?"
"Joseph said he was the only one. President Green, have we wronged Joseph?"
Jacob watched Joseph grow up. He couldn't bear to see him cry.
Samuel couldn't bear it either.
But he thought about the leaked trade secrets and sighed and said, let Riley stop beating Joseph, anyway, he is the heir of Green Family."
"Yes, President Green. I know you love Joseph. Are we going back to see Joseph now?"
"No, I have something else to do." Samuel finished and left.
Jacob looked at Samuel's back and thought
he didn't know him. Samuel used to care about Joseph the most. What was wrong with him now?
Samuel went to the warehouse. He checked the car that exploded.
The explosion destroyed a lot of evidence, but he found a lipstick under the car seat.
This lipstick was not Nicole's. Whose was it?
Was it left behind by someone who tampered the brakes?
He quickly wrapped up the lipstick and sent it to a special institution for inspection.
Nicole had an accident. He couldn't forgive himself. He wouldn't let the murderer go.
The day passed.
When the sun rose from the east the next day, Samuel came to the hospital with a big breakfast.
Olivia went out to buy breakfast before Lucas and Nicole woke up. When Samuel came, there was no one in the ward.
Samuel looked at Lucas and Nicole sleeping and was happy.
Once he imagined such a harmonious scene.
He didn't expect it to come true.
He came to Nicole's bed and put breakfast on the table, only to find someone grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Samuel looked back and saw Nicole open her eyes. She wanted to talk, but her throat was dry.
"Are you awake? Do you want water? I'll call you a doctor."
Samuel rang the bell and poured Nicole a glass of warm water. He sat in front of Nicole's bed and picked her up carefully and fed her water.
"You just woke up. I dare not let you drink toc much. The doctor will examine you."
Samuel rarely talked to Nicole so softly. At least he had never done this to her since they got married.
Nicole was in a trance for a moment. She even felt that she was dreaming.
The doctor and the nurse came in and woke
up Lucas. He opened his eyes and looked at Nicole and called her attention.
What was she thinking?
Did an accident break her brain?
Samuel was good for everyone except her. If it wasn't that her face had changed and Samuel was confused about her, how could he be sc gentle with her?
Nicole gave a wry smile and stopped talking to Samuel. She turned to look at Lucas.
Lucas in turn run over and grabbed her hand.
"Mommy, you scared me to death."
Lucas burst into tears. His strength collapsed at this moment.
Nicole knew Lucas's fear better than anyone.
He was not pretending. He was really afraid!
He had seen Zoe dying and surviving several times. He was her twin brother. How could he be indifferent? Now his mother was in bed. How could a four-year-old bear it?
