Chapter 372 Are You Standing up for Me

Nicole had a good sleep. Smelling the scent of Samuel, she felt secured with him around her.

She woke up to see Audrey smiling at them, and she got embarrassed.

"Mom, why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

Nicole hastily broke away from Samuel.

He shook his sore arm and said, "You're sleeping like a log, and Mom can't bring herself to wake you
up. Don't worry, Wendy brought us breakfast, and Mom has eaten. I've saved some for you. Go inside
and eat."

Nicole got more embarrassed.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"What are you afraid of? We're family. Are you afraid that we will laugh at you? Besides, you are tired
these days, and it doesn't matter that you sleep a little longer. Moreover, I'm here with you."

His words consoled her.

Audrey felt delighted when she heard Samuel call her Mom.

"You both go have breakfast. I'm fine."

"Mom, you can watch TV."

Nicole turned on the TV and pulled Samuel into the inner room.

Samuel smiled at her red cheeks. "You blush easily these days. What shall we do?"

"None of your business."



Nicole gave him a sweet look. She opened the food container and saw it brim with her favorite dishes.
She paused.

"Didn't you say that Mom had eaten? Why doesn't it look that way?"

"Mom has eaten. The doctor says that she can't have greasy food yet. My mother asked Wendy to
make these dishes for you."

Nicole felt warm.

"How could I bother Mom so much?"

"She cares about you, saying that you can only take good care of the patient when you eat and rest
well. Don't think too much. She asks Wendy to cook the dishes for you. Go ahead and enjoy."

Samuel consoled her as he didn't want to see her tearful eyes.

"Let's eat together."

Nicole handed the chopsticks to him.

Samuel didn't eat much, and he ate slowly. He was basically watching her eat.

After Nicole was through, she felt full.

"Wendy is a good cook."

"Don't I cook well?"

Samuel was jealous.

Nicole smiled and said, "How can you praise yourself?"



"What can I do? I have to praise myself since you don't. Otherwise, I feel upset."

"Childish."

After Nicole tidied up the table, she was about to wash the dishes, but Samuel stopped her.

"Let me do it. There isn't much hot water here, and you'd better not touch cold water for the sake of
your health."

As he spoke, he took away the dishes.

Nicole was touched.

"It's been a month, hasn't it? Besides, a man shouldn't spend time in the kitchen. These dishes are very
greasy. Let me do it."

"Stop arguing. What's wrong if a man spends time in the kitchen? I'm willing to cook and wash for my
beloved woman. Besides, you say they are very greasy, so don't touch them. My wife's hands have to
be beautiful so I can admire and play."

As he spoke, Samuel left with the dishes.

Nicole smiled and looked at her hands, which were growing plump.

How could he admire and play such a pair of plump hands?

She shook her head and walked out of the inner room.

Audrey saw her and smiled. "Samuel treats you very well."

"Yeah, it's a blessing to have him."



Nicole did not conceal her love for Samuel at all.

Audrey chuckled. "Treat him well, okay?"

"Okay. How do you feel now?"

"Much better."

Audrey was in high spirit with Nicole around her.

Nicole whispered, "I'm going back tonight. Perhaps Nan Xian will accompany me. Do you think you can
take care of yourself? If not, I'll hire you a care giver. I'll come tomorrow morning."

Audrey paused. Recalling that Nicole had children waiting for her at home, she said, "I'm fine. I'm just a
little weak, and it's a good idea to hire a care giver. You and Samuel go home and have a good rest.
There's no need to rush back. I'm fine."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Silly child, what nonsense."

Audrey thought that Nicole was much more considerate than Viola.

They talked for a while, and Samuel came back.

His hands were wet, and Nicole handed him a towel.

"Forget it. Let me help you dry up."

She got to her feet, drying up his hands as if he was a child. Samuel smiled.

Audrey felt relieved when she noticed the deep affection between them.



"Come on. Didn't you say you are going home? Go now. Don't show off your affection here. I'm getting
jealous for I'm single."

Nicole blushed.

"Mom, what are you talking about? If you feel lonely, tomorrow I'll upload your profile on the dating
websites, and you can pick whatever you like."

"I dare you!"

Audrey blushed.

This child had a big mouth.

Nicole laughed happily.

The ward rang with laughter.

Viola stood in the corridor and listened to the happy noises, clenching her fists.

She was Audrey's daughter as well. Why didn't she treat her well?

She only wanted some love and care from her mom. Why didn't she give her any?

A ferocious look came across Viola's face. The laughter was piercing her ears, and she couldn't bear it.

She turned and ran away. On the way back, she met Jason.

"Where did you go?"

Jason treated her like a prisoner, which upset Viola, but she didn't dare to fight back. After all, Jason
could crush her to death with a single move of his finger.



"I went out for a walk."

She replied in a low voice, trying to maintain her fragile image.

Jason didn't like her at all, so he didn't speak in a friendly tone.

"Don't wander around. If you bump into someone, the old lady will be upset for a few days. If you care
about her, stop making troubles. Rest well and go home early."

"Okay."

Viola was pissed off, but she looked down, and no one could see her angry eyes.

She was so pretentious that she disgusted Jason, who pushed the wheelchair out.

"Keep an eye on Miss Yate. If she wanders around again, I'll break your legs."

Jason said in a harsh tone. His words were intended for Viola rather than the bodyguards.

Viola closed the door angrily and sat on the bed, sulking.

Jason arranged bodyguards for her with the excuse of protecting her, but she knew that he attempted
to keep an eye on her and control her.

How could she, a fragile woman, escape the surveillance of the bodyguards?

Viola frowned and suddenly thought of someone.

She hastily called Mike.

"Mike, are you still in the Seapolis City?"



Viola had almost forgotten Mike since she came to this city. Therefore, he was dazed by her phone call.

"Viola?"

"It's me. Who else do you think? What? It's been only one month and you don't recognize me? Don't
you love me anymore? Didn't you say that you wouldn't allow anyone to pick on me? Are you going to
stand up for me now that someone has humiliated me?"

Viola cried as she spoke.

Mike was enraged.

"Who's that? Tell me, I'll give him hell."

"It's the Don family?"

Viola said in a choked voice, "I treat Mrs. Don very well, and she wants me to be her granddaughter,
but her son doesn't agree. I'm not feeling well, and I come to the hospital for a check-up, but he has
arranged bodyguards to confine me here. Mike, come and rescue me. How can a weak woman like me
deal with these two bodyguards? I heard that they wanted to do something to me at night, I'm scared!"

Mike got anxious.

"What are they going to do to you?"

"What else can it be? I'm not the eldest daughter of the Don family. Only the old lady likes me. After all,
the person in charge is her son. He sent the old lady home and forbade me to contact her. Do you think
the old lady will detest me if I'm molested? How can I hold up my head in dignity?"

Viola sounded more sorrowful as she spoke. In the end, she sobbed at the phone.

Mike flustered.



"Don't cry! You have me. Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital and rescue you. By the way, which hospital
are you staying?"

Although she was sobbing, she smiled.

"I'm in Room 208 on the third floor at the First People's Hospital."

"Got it. I'll be right there in fifteen minutes."

Mike hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone, Viola sneered and wiped her tears with her hands.

Men were gullible, and they would risk anything for her if she shed a few tears.

She enjoyed this feeling. However, she thought of Samuel.

He was a rare good man in the world.

However, this good man belonged to Nicole.

Why?

What was so good about Nicole?

They were both women, and she believed she could offer Samuel what Nicole could give. She would
dispose of Audrey first, and then alienate Samuel from Nicole. In this way, she would have a chance.

Viola thought happily, waiting for Mike.

Now that Mike agreed to help her, and she knew what he was capable of, Viola was not worried about
the two bodyguards anymore.



Jason attempted to confine her?

He was dreaming!

Viola sneered and sank into the bed, pretending to be very weak. Ten minutes later, she suddenly put
her hands on her stomach, shouting.

"Ouch! Ouch! My stomach hurts! Help! Help!"

Jason attempted to confine her?
He was dreaming!

Viola sneered and sank into the bed, pretending to be very weak. Ten minutes later, she suddenly put
her hands on her stomach, shouting.

“Ouch! Ouch! My stomach hurts! Help! Help!"
