Chapter 294: Grievance

From Nicole's point of view, no one would understand the grudge between her and Soseph. Even
Laurel might deem her too narrow-minded and she believed that Soseph wouldn't do something evil
against her.



Acutally, Nicole was the one who was bullied.



She felt so aggrieved when receiving the call from Samuel.



She walked out of the doctor's office and picked up the phone.



“Samuel...”



Her voice trembled with sob, which was clearly noticed by Samuel.



“What happened? I heard from mom that your face was allergic to make-up and it’s in bad condition.
How are you going now? Let me see your face through video chat, okay?”



As expected, Laurel had informed Samuel of it in advance.





Nicole didn't know about the conversation between them. But she presumed that if she blamed Soseph
for this because she splashed hot water on her face, Laurel wouldn't easily believe it and might even
deem it a slander against Soseph.



What's worse, Samuel knew nothing about the deal between Nicole and Soseph. He would definitely
be mat at her once he was aware of it.



After all, no one would like to be traded, especially in a relationship.



However, from Samuel's point of view, he deemed her words as a self-abasement because of the
appearance of Soseph.



He sighed and said caringly, “Honey, let me see your face.”



“No! I look quite awful. I will be fine a few days later.”



“Honey, you will always be the most beautiful one in my heart even with any make-up. I will make
Jacob bring you some ointment. No scar will be left with it.”





“Okay.” She felt really aggrieved as it was her first time to be defeated by a girl who was not even in her
twenties.



Unfortunately, Samuel was not aware of her grievance and then he continued, “If you feel annoying to
see Soseph, I will transfer her to another hospital, okay?”



“Alright, get her somewhere else.”



“Okay, I will call the director of the military hospital and transfer her to the hospital near me.”



The military hospital was the best one besides the hospital where Soseph settled at the moment.



“No!” Nicole shouted.



“What's wrong with it?”



“I said NO!”





Nicole was afraid that once Soseph had the chance to get close to Samuel, she would try all means to
seduce him.



She believed that Samuel was a loyal husband, but Soseph was a scheming woman.



However, upon hearing that, Samuel confirmed that Nicole must be influence badly because of
Soseph.



“Nicole, she is just a little girl in my eyes and I have no feelings for her.”



‘But she has crazy feelings for you.’ Nicole mumbled in her mind.



“Alright, just let her stay here. I won't be mad at her again.”



Hearing that, Samuel could tell what Nicole was worried about. However, since Soseph had saved Zoe,
they should be grateful to her.





“lam sorry for you grievance, honey.”



Tears shed down from Nicole's face when she heard that.



“Samuel, I really regret letting Soseph donate her kidney for Zoe.” Nicole expressed the true feeling in
her mind.



Samuel sighed helplessly, “I am so sorry to make you in such a dilemma. If I had had the chance to
make the choice, I would never have accepted her kidney for Zoe. But now we all owe her. She is just a
teenage girl and she lost her kidney. It would definitely bring damage to both her life and marriage.”



Of course, Nicole was aware of it. She was not a heartless one. But she felt really depressed and
reluctant when it occurred to her that she had to trade her husband with Soseph. And she couldn't even
tell him about it.



“How are you doing now?” Nicole asked.



Samuel just simply fudge it and told her don't worried and he was fine after rest.





“How about Lucas? Did he behave himself?” Nicole continued. She was afraid that Lucas would go to
the hospital so see her.



Her son Lucas was very protective of her. If he saw her face scalded, he might even want to crash the
whole hospital.



“He is fine. Now he always stays by my side and asks me a lot of things about the army. It seems that
he is looking forward to the life in army.”

Samuel replied with a smile.



Hearing that, Nicole sighed a breath of relief, “Don’t take him here to visit us in case he might be
infected with those bacteria in the hospital. And Zoe has just gone through operation. You can take him
here a few days later when Zoe is in better condition.”



“Aren't you afraid that Lucas will see your face?”



“Come on, you know me.”



“Alright, I know it. Don't worry. I won't take him to see you these days.”





Nicole felt relieved when hearing that.



“Okay, I am going to apply some ointment on my face. Bye.” Actually, Nicole was reluctant to hang up,
but she was afraid that she would lost control out of grievance.



“Okay, just go to take care of your face first. I will let Jacob send you some ointment.”



Before Samuel wanted to say more, Nicole hung up the phone first.



He shook his head and then said to Jacob, “Bring the best ointment to my wife. And try to find out what
was going on between her and Soseph. Remember, keep a low profile during investigation.”



"Ves sir.”



Standing in the corridor, Nicole still felt depressed.



But she held back her tears and went back to the doctor's face.





After applying ointment to her face, she returned to the ward of Zoe.



“Mommy, what's going on with your face?” Zoe was quite surprised.



“Your mom is allergic to make-up. Don't worry. But don't touch her face, okay?” Laurel said to Zoe.



“Okay.” Zoe replied obediently.



Then Laurel said to Nicole in a low voice, “I have hired a special carer for Zoe. You have been staying
here to take care of Zoe for a whole night. Why not go back home to have a rest? You can come here
in the afternoon, okay?”



“It's okay. I want to stay. There is a bed here. I can take a nap if I am tired. And I am still worried to
leave Zoe here alone for someone else to take care of.”



Since Zoe had just seized the opportunity to live a new life, she had to make sure Zoe would be safe
from now on.





Laurel didn't show any objection as Nicole insisted. She passed her a vacuum cup.



“Here is the cubilose soup for you to nourish your body. Just drink it and take a rest. You should also
take care of your own. Though I might be too harsh when blaming you today, you still have to be aware
that you are now the hostess of Night Elf Empire, the mother of Zoe and the wife of Samuel.
Sometimes you should be more generous when facing Soseph. Even if you are reluctant, you should
be grateful to her on the surface, okay?”



Nicole didn’t know how to reply. She just took the vacuum cup and nodded.



“lam leaving now.”



After saying that, Laurel said goodbye to Zoe and left.



But Nicole had no appetite for the soup in the cup.



She was the one bullied by Soseph, but now no one was on her side. It seemed that she
underestimated that scheming girl.





Noticing the worried look on Zoe's face, Nicole smiled at her, “I am okay. Don't worry, sweetheart. I was
just allergic to the make-up. Remember, don't try to put on make-up at your age, or your face would
turn the same as mine.”



“I won't!"



Zoe covered her face immediately.



‘Mom's face looks awful.’ She thought to herself.



Nicole sighed as she could tell Zoe did notice her face looked awful, “Sweetheart, stay here okay. If you
need anything, you can come to me. I am going to take a nap.”



“Okay.”



Zoe was a sensible kid. She then nodded obediently.





Nicole was really tired. And her face was still burning out of pain.



She walked into another room in the ward when she told the carer to watch Zoe, and then she
slouched on the sofa and fell asleep.



Zoe felt lonely, but she didn’t want to disturb her mom. So she picked up the phone and dialed the
number to call Lucas.



She heard that her brother had come back home and she really missed him.



“Why don't you come to visit me after operation, Lucas?” Zoe mumbled.
