Chapter 513 That Was So Close

Lucas became nervous.

"Uncle Blair, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I won't do it again. Help my daddy, please. He might be in
danger now."

Lucas started crying.

Hedy rarely saw Lucas cry. He had cried only a few times when he first arrived at the club. He had
always been calm but now he cried so bitterly. Hedy immediately pulled out a tissue to wipe him tears.

Lucas wanted to get up and beg Blair.

When Gabrielle saw Lucas acting like this, she stared at Blair and said, "Blair, don't make him worry.
How can you tell Lucas about this? Mr. Green is so powerful. He will definitely turn things around."

"I must teach him a lesson. He should not to leave home without our knowledge. You ran away alone
but put your family in danger now. Have you ever thought of such a consequence? Because of you,
your daddy's whereabouts are unknown now and your mommy is in bad condition again. She's on drips
every day. Lucas, you are a child and can be willful. But do you know the consequences of your
willfulness now?"

Blair's words made Lucas feel deeply guilty.

He really didn't expect all this to happen.

If it wasn't for his willfulness, perhaps so many things wouldn't have happened. If it weren't for his
willfulness, Daddy and Mommy wouldn't be like this either.

Lucas was so guilty and he really regretted it.



Gabrielle felt hurt when she saw Lucas was so sad.

"Blair, enough."

"He is a boy, but he's also Samuel's son! He must know that he should be responsible."

"But he is only a four-year-old child!"

Gabrielle felt that Blair was being too harsh on Lucas.

But Blair responded with a smile, "Child? Have you ever seen a four-year-old deliver a message from
such a dangerous club like him? He's destined to be extraordinary. Alright, I won't talk about it with you
anymore. Your daddy and mommy will discipline you. You don't have to worry. Although we can't get in
touch with your daddy now, he should be safe. You just stay here for the next two days and take good
care of yourself. I'll inform your mother about your state."

"I want to go home and see Mommy."

Lucas was still a little worried.

But Blair said, "You can't go back. Listen to me, you'd better stay here until your daddy picks you up.
Gabrielle and I will protect you. If you do well, your daddy and mommy will be fine too, you know?"

"But what about Zoe? My uncle..."

Before Lucas could finish his words, he was interrupted by Blair.

"Zoe has Joseph with her. You just need to take good care of yourself. Don't let your mommy see your
heartbreaking injuries."

Lucas didn't say anything anymore.



He knew that he had harmed many people because of his willfulness this time. Now that Blair ask him
to stay here, he would obey him.

Blair and Gabrielle had another word with Lucas, and then went out.

Hedy quickly poured water for Lucas, just like she did when they were at the club. She took good care
of Lucas.

Lucas smiled, "I said I would bring you out. I did it. When my daddy comes back, I will ask him to help
find your sister's whereabouts. Don't worry. I'll take good care of you."

Hedy's eyes instantly became misty.

"Thank you!"

She gestured to Lucas. Lucas replied with a grin, "You're welcome! You treat me well from the start."

They looked at each other and smiled. Then, Lucas rested.

He was really too tired.

As for Samuel, he had arrived at the neighboring city. But he once again couldn't find the traffickers.

"Mr. Green, should we use the power of Night Elf Empire?"

Samuel nodded at Finn in agreement.

"Use it. Then you rush back to the Green's to protect my wife and the others."

Samuel instructed calmly.

"Can you handle this alone?" said Finn, nodding.



"No problem. But I'm afraid that Vincent will attack Nicole and the others."

For some reason, Samuel was getting more and more uneasy recently.

"OK."

Finn arranged for some guys to go to collect information. After that, he disguised himself and went back
to the Seapolis City by train.

When he saw Nicole, he noticed that she was especially worried.

"How is it? Is Samuel alright?"

"Don't worry, madam. Mr. Green is good right now, but he was once in danger on the way."

Finn told Nicole about what had happened to Samuel. Although he didn't say it very clearly, Nicole
knew that things weren't as simple as Finn said.

"Got news about Lucas?"

"Yes."

Finn's words instantly made Nicole nervous.

"Did he really get taken away by traffickers?"

Nicole grabbed Finn's hand tightly.

Her hands were cold. Finn felt somewhat embarrassed when touched by her hands.

He wanted to shake off her hand, but he was reluctant to do so. So he just lowered his head and said
in a low voice, "Mr. Hawk already sent a message to Mr. Green. It said that Mr. Lucas has always been



in a club in the Seapolis City. He was not the one who was taken away by traffickers. Mr. Green just
knew that. Mr. Hawk said that Mr. Lucas sent a message to Tim asking for help. Mr. Jason and Mr. Tim
brought men to control the club and took Mr. Lucas out. However, Mr. Lucas is slightly injured and has
been sent to the Military Hospital. Mr. Haw is protecting him. He told you to rest assured. "

Finn quickly explained, but he felt his heart beating fast and something was wrong with his body.

Nicole became more nervous.

"Lucas is injured? Is he seriously injured? Where did he get injured? No, I have to go and see him."

As she spoke, she lifted the blanket, but she staggered because of her weak body.

"Madam!"

Finn helped Nicole up, but his face blushed a little more because of his physical contact with her.

Nicole did not notice that. When Finn supported her with hand, she suddenly calmed down.

"No! I can't go! If I go, Samuel will be even more dangerous. If Vincent finds out that Lucas has been
rescued, then Samuel may be...."

Nicole didn't finish her sentence, but Finn had already guessed it.

Finn had mixed emotions about Nicole being so considerate of Samuel. He said to her, "Don't worry,
madam. I've already had the real news suppressed. It was only reported that the club was controlled
and the children inside were rescued. It was not mentioned that Lucas was among those children. And
I heard that those children were insignificant and many of them had dead. No one knows exactly how
many children were inside. "

"Okay."



Nicole went back to bed and lay down.

Finn knew that she was not feeling well. He whispered, "Madam, Mr. Green asked me to look for an
opportunity to take you and Miss Zoe out of here. Vincent has not noticed anything wrong yet, but the
closedown of the club must have made him nervous. The safety of you and Miss Zoe will...."

Just as he was speaking, he heard engine noises of a car. Obviously, it was Vincent. He was coming
back.

Nicole was now on alert.

Finn said anxiously, "Madam, how about you leaving with me now?"

"It's too late! You go now!"

Nicole was very calm.

Finn shook his head. "No! My job is to protect you and Miss Zoe. I can't go."

"Can't go? What are you staying for? Face to face with Vincent? You know, his skills are not inferior to
yours at all. And I have to protect Zoe and Joseph. If I go with you, what about the two children? You
want me to give up on them and leave with you? Finn, listen to me. You should get out here
immediately. Even if something happens to us three, you can still help Samuel by his side. If Vincent
really wants to harm against Samuel, he won't do anything to Zoe and me right now. It's very likely that
we will be safe for the time being. But things will be different if you stay here."

Hearing Nicole's words, Finn knew that he had to go.

"Madam, I will protect you."

"Now get out."



Nicole immediately chased Finn away.

She didn't know how Vincent felt after the club was controlled by others, but she couldn't irritate him at
this point. Otherwise the most dangerous person would be Samuel.

She and Zoe were both hostages, and if Vincent threatened Samuel, Samuel would surely surrender.

Nicole took a deep breath. Now that Lucas had returned, her greatest wish was for Samuel to return
safely as well.

She lay down and pulled up the blanket, pretending to be asleep.

After Vincent returned to the Green's, he immediately went up to the second floor to Nicole's bedroom.

Nicole could feel Vincent's approach, and could even feel his sharp eyes staring straight at her.

She tried her best to breathe evenly, almost as if she had fallen asleep. Although her heart was beating
fast, she tried to calm down, her hands under the blanket already sweaty.

Samuel stared at Nicole for a long time, only to find that her breathing was even. And then he turned
around and left.

He was paranoid. Just as he was about to leave Nicole's room, he suddenly looked back.

His piercing eyes fell on Nicole.

Nicole did not move at all and her breathing was still stable.

Only then did Vincent leave, even gently closing the door, as if he had never been here.

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief after he left.



That was so close!

Just now, if she couldn't stay calm, he would have found she was pretending asleep.

She did not know what would await her and the children if he found that, nor did she dare to imagine it.

She was very worried now.

Vincent hurriedly came back to see if she was awake. What was his intention?

Would he do anything to the children?

Nicole felt cold all over her body when she thought of that. Her overwhelming panic and uneasiness
made her restless.
