Chapter 184: Everything Will Be All Right Tomorrow

After solving Zoe's problem temporarily, Laurel had finished her examination, but her report had not
come out until the next day. Samuel had to wait.



Laurel, however, did not upset at all, as if she did not think there was anything wrong with her body,
which made Samuel somewhat doubtful.



When Mike called him, Samuel was having dinner with the children. When he heard Mike asking for
him, he greeted Laurel and the children and then went out.



Mike met Samuel at a recreation club.



"Have you come?”



Mike sat in the booth and didn't make much of a fuss about Samuel's arrival, leaving Samuel to pick up
whatever he wanted.



People around them knew Samuel's status when they saw Mike's attitude. Mike must the one who
would do anything for Samuel.





"Let me introduce to you. These are my friends who are currently working with the Brook Family. Who
do you want to start with?”



Mike waited for Samuel to sit down and then spoke.



Samuel suddenly thought it was nice to have such a good friend. Mike had already guessed something
before he had said anything.



"I'll do it myself, but I do need your help. I don't want to owe the others anything.”



Samuel walked over to Mike and sat down.



When Mike heard this from Samuel, he dismissed everyone.



When there were only two people left in the room, Mike poured Samuel a glass of wine and said, "I
heard you doubt the doctor's diagnosis at our hospital?”





"No, but I do not know how to do, so I simply ask the experts to come and see.”



Samuel did have some pressure on this matter.



Michael and Samuel were best friends. Mike was once saved by Samuel on the battlefield. Since they
retired, they had been in contact. Samuel originally planned to come to the United States to explore the
business, but before the implementation, Nicole was in danger, so he did not have much energy to
focus on job and he ran aground.



He didn't expect to need Mike's help this time.



"Time flies. We've been retired for so many years.”



Mike missed those days in the army, but he still had to retire.



"Yes, that eventful time has gone forever.’



Samuel missed it, too, but he knew that one should go forward and look forward.





After the two of them touched their glasses, Mike asked, "What's wrong with you and Allen? Why did
he do that to you?”



"I hate him for taking my wife and wants to kill my child.”



Samuel's eyes shone with hate.



“What dd you mean?”



Mike had no ideas of what he said. Samuel told him about Nicole, and by the way, about Zoe's illness
over the years.



After hearing what Samuel said, Mike swore fiercely, "What a bastard! What does it matter to a child if
there is a feud between adults? How can he target on a child?"



“All I want to do now is to save my wife. I've lost a son. I can't afford to lose my wife."





Samuel now felt sad when he thought of Lucas.



That naughty kid!



When did that boy, the boy who would never call him Daddy but old man?



Samuel, feeling bitter, threw back his head and drank the wine.



Mike heard about Lucas, and whispered, "I believe there will be a clue. As long as he is in my territory, I
promise to help you find him out.’



"Thanks, bro.”



“Well, you've been under a lot of stress lately, and we're not going home until we get drunk today. I
know what you want to do. Are you going to sneak in the Brook family at night? I'd advise you not to.
The Brook Family are most heavily guarded at night, so you might as well go in the daytime. I'll ask
Allen out tomorrow for an excuse, so you can take the opportunity to go there. As for how to get in, you
can figure out your own way.’





Mike could not bear to see Samuel so repressed and offered his help directly.



Samuel smiled and said, "You know me best.”



"Vincent knows you best, but he's not here. Is Joseph Vincent's son?"



Samuel nodded.



"Good, he would be my godson."



"No."



Samuel simply refused him, which drew Mike's ire.



They began to talk about the past, about the years since their separation, talking, drinking, and
gradually they drank too much.





Samuel always thought he would never get drunk no matter how much he drank, but why was the wine
so bitter tasted so bad?



He saw Nicole and she was smiling at him as she had done five years before.



“Nicole, Nicole..."



Samuel sprang to his feet and threw himself at the apparition, but there was not Nicole's shadow,



He threw himself on the floor embarrassedly.



"Nicole, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.”



Samuel lay on the floor for a long time, his shoulders hunched, with a particularly muffled sound
coming out of his mouth.



Mike helped him to his feet and whispered, "Go to sleep. Everything will be all right tomorrow.”





Whether Samuel was really tired or something, he just fell asleep.



Mike found a thin blanket and put it over him. Then he got up and left the room.



He lit a cigarette and smoked. No one could see his face through the smoke.



After finishing a cigarette, someone came to Mike's side.



"Young master.”



"Go and look up the underground black market in America. I want to know all the boys aged about four-
and five-year-old. N matter where they come from, I want to know exactly where the black market is.”



Mike's eyes were cold.



The man was a little surprised at Mike's command, but he went down quickly.





Mike stayed outside for a while before he entered the private room.



Samuel slept soundly but uneasily.



Mike lay down right next to him and soon fell asleep, too.



When Samuel woke up the next day, he felt a serious headache.

He was drunk!



Shaking his head, Samuel saw Mike sleeping. The man was just as he had been before, unconcerned,
lying on the floor in the cold.



Samuel kicked him and woke Mike up.



“What?”



"Get up! To ask Allen out."





"God, can’t you let me sleep a little longer?” Mike grumbled.



Samuel smiled and said, "No. I will be dead of anxiety. Do you know how long it's been since my wife
and I saw each other?"



“Is your wife, not my wife. Do you have to make me anxious, too?”



Mike got up, washed his face, and followed Samuel out of the club.



Samuel didn't go back. He drove his car near the Brook family.



Before long, Allen got a call from Mike asking him out to talk about the land in the western suburbs.



Allen frowned slightly.



It was said that Mike was very difficult to deal with. Allen once asked Mike out for a piece of land in the
western suburbs, but



Mike ignored it. Now Mike suddenly asked him out, maybe it had something to do with Samuel.



The thought of Samuel made Allen furious, but he couldn't offer to offend Mike, so he packed his
clothes and went out.



Before he left, he went to see Nicole, who was still giving him the cold shoulder, but Allen didn't care.



“When I'm done with Samuel, you'll be with me in peace, Nicole. I can wait. I've been waiting for five
years. I don't mind waiting for another few days."



Allen gave Nicole a kiss on the forehead, but Nicole ducked it.



Nicole was so stiff from being tied up for so long that she felt her hair stand on end when Allen
approached her.



The bruises on her body fade, and she would recover in a few days. She wondered if she would be
forced to do something by Allen.





She shuddered at the thought of it.



Allen got up and left. There was the sound of the basement being locked.



Nicole couldn't believe that Allen, who once loved her so much, now locked her in the basement like a
pet.



There was usually no one in the basement, and only when it was time to eat did the servants force her
to eat, and if she could not eat, the servants would give her an injection.



These days, Nicole lived like a walking dead, not knowing how much time had passed, and whether
Samuel was gone, or how Zoe's operation was going.



How did Samuel find out about her before she lost and didn’t have time to tell him about Zoe?



Did Allen say that?



Did he lure Samuel to the United States on purpose?





The thought of it made Nicole worry.



Her wrists and ankles were frayed and bleeding as she struggled to free herself, but she did not care.



She must get out of here!



She had to!



Footsteps were heard outside and Nicole frowned slightly.



It was not the time for eating yet. Who's coming?



Nicole stood on her guard, but heard servants screaming outside.



“Well, the pipes are this way, and that's the cellar. You can't go there while our master is away.’





"Nicole's heart gave a jerk when she heard the servant say this.



Who was outside the villa?



So, could she ask for help?



But Nicole couldn't free herself from what was in her mouth.



Allen usually gagged her for fear she would shout.



Nicole was hooting, but the basement wasn't making any noise.



She tried to cry, and she was all wet. There was more blood on her wrists and ankles, but outside the
footsteps were more

and more far away...



Nicole was getting desperate.





Was the rest of her life really going to go on like this?



Or was she just waiting for Allen to plot Samuel out and then leave her alone?



No!



She didn’t want this!



Nicole decided that she would rather be killed head-on than that.



Suddenly she seemed to think of something.



If she had committed suicide, would there have been a chance that Allen would send her to the
hospital? And at that point,

maybe there will be an opportunity to run away, right?





Thinking of this, Nicole suddenly laughed until she cried.



To fight with life for a possibility. Even if her head was bleeding, or she was dying, she also did not want
to stay in this dark place.



She wanted to go home!



She wanted to go back to Samuel and Zoe. That was her home!
