Chapter 782 Please Keep Me Away from That Place

"Martha, please give me another chance. I won't hurt you again this time. I will be there with you until
the last minute of your life. This is our promise. Do you remember?"

Ballard's words angered Tim a little.

"What are you talking about? My mother still has a long life ahead. Besides, things are already like this.
There's nothing you could do about it."

"Leave me and your mother alone."

"You think I want to get involved? If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't even talk to you. You're just a
scum. You cheated on your wife. You hurt your wife and child. What makes you think your apology will
make us trust you again? What makes you think you can get forgiveness just by saying you're sorry?
Did you really love my mom? Ask yourself, did my mother ever had a place in your heart these years?
Even if she gave birth to your child, even if she settled herself for you, you are still not satisfied. Don't
say that all men will make that mistake. You are insulting us."

Tim and Ballard got into a quarrel.

Seeing they are dealing with their family matters, Nicole said, "Auntie, Jacob and I got to go."

"Wait a moment. I'll sign and leave with you."

Martha's words made Ballard's eyes immediately wet.

"Martha, do you have to be like this? We've been married for so many years. Just let me accompany
you, okay?"

"I've already said what I want to say. Now you can do whatever you want."



Martha didn't say anything else and directly signed the divorce papers. Then, she turned to look at
Nicole and smiled, "Take me back."

"Mom, I'll take you back."

Tim frowned and felt that Martha was not as dependent on him as before.

He felt a little disappointed in the heart.

Martha patted his hand and smiled, "Did you forget that Trevin is still in the hospital? You can't let
Samuel keep staying in the south, right? I don't like Maia. But I know her brother is not her. I won't vent
my anger on her brother. Don't worry about me. Nicole will bring me back."

Hearing Martha's words, Tim finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, if you need anything, just tell me. I'll write you the phone number."

Tim's words made Martha laugh. She said, "Do you think your mother has become an old-timer after
living in the sanatorium for so many years? You think I don't know how to keep your number on the
phone?"

"No, I'm just afraid it will trouble you. I thought writing it down would be better."

Tim did not admit that he underestimated his mother.

Seeing Tim and Martha having a warm talk and ignoring his existence, Ballard felt complicated. Words
failed to describe his feelings.

He wanted to say something, but before that, he saw Martha holding Nicole's hand and saying, "Nicole,
let's go." In the end, he said nothing.

"Alright."



Martha had made up her mind. Nicole made no comment about that. She just brought Martha away
from the Louis family.

At the gate of the Louis', Nicole saw Jacob.

Instead of following Bella to the police station, he smoked beside the car.

It hadn't been long. But there were already a lot of cigarette butts piled up on the ground.

"Smoke so much? Do you want to get lung cancer? Aren't you afraid that Olivia will lecture you after
she comes back?"

Nicole wanted to comfort Jacob, but she could not manage to say comforting words. After all, no one
could stand having such a mother and encountering such a thing.

Seeing Nicole come out, Jacob hurriedly threw the cigarette away.

"Mrs. Green, I'll send you back."

"No need. I'm worried about you. Why don't you call a designated driver to send you back? I think you
need to rest now."

Nicole was really worried about Jacob.

He looked like he was going to collapse anytime, anywhere.

"Jacob, Bella is Bella. You are you. Everyone knows that. Don't be too sad."

Nicole patted Jacob on the shoulder and said, "Think about Olivia, think about Samuel. You still have
many friends by your side. You're not alone. You're not a Louis. But this doesn't matter. The Jacob we
know is never a person who relies on his family background. You are just Jacob! We take you as a



friend not because of your background but yourself. You are our friend. It has nothing to do with your
name or your background."

Hearing Nicole's words, Jacob was very touched.

"Thank you, Mrs. Green. I'm in a much better mood now."

"No matter you feel better or not, get a designated driver to send you back. I worry about you. Besides,
you're my best friend Olivia's boyfriend. If I don't take good care of you, if Olivia asks me for a healthy
Jacob, where can I get her that Jacob? Is that right?"

Nicole's words made Jacob laugh.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry for letting you see such a scene."

"No need to apologize. You did a good job, son."

Martha looked at Jacob and said peacefully. Her attitude was much friendlier.

Seeing Martha, Jacob thought of what his mother had done. He couldn't help but bow to Martha.

"Auntie, I'm sorry! I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

"You don't need to apologize. I already said that I'm not mad at you."

Martha was rational. She did not vent her anger on Jacob.

"Thank you, Mrs. Louis."

Jacob was like this. Nicole was still worried.

"Jacob, listen to me. If you don't want a designated driver, I'll send you back."



"There's really no need to do so, Mrs. Green. I can take care of myself. I just need to be alone for a
while."

"Alright then. If you need anything, remember to call me, okay?"

"Okay."

Getting Jacob's positive answer, Nicole took Martha away sentimentally.

In the car, Martha coughed violently.

"Auntie, are you alright?"

Nicole hurriedly handed Martha a bottle of water.

Martha took the water and drank a few, but she choked again because of the coughing.

"Slow down."

Nicole patted her back quickly.

It took Martha a while to recover. Looking at Nicole's worried expression, she smiled, "I'm fine."

"You still want to hide it from me? Auntie, you know that, right?"

"Know what?"

"Auntie!"

Nicole wanted to cry. She felt terrible.

Seeing Nicole like this, Martha immediately became anxious.



"Don't cry! I'm really fine. I just choked."

Martha didn't give her a direct answer. Nicole looked at Martha and asked, "Auntie, please tell me
honestly, did you already know about your health situation?"

Seeing Nicole being so persistent, Martha sighed, "Yes, I know. After all, no one can know me better
than myself. I feel uncomfortable and stuffy these days. I know someone must have done something.
But I didn't expect that the one who poisoned me would be the care specialist. That indeed shocked
me."

Although Martha looked soft and weak, she was a tough woman. Nicole couldn't help but admire
Martha.

"Auntie, everything will be fine. Don't worry. Your health is not as bad as you think. I have already found
the best doctor to design a treatment plan. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can
recover."

Nicole comforted Martha.

Looking at Nicole in front of her, Martha smiled, "There is no need to comfort me. Save the trouble to
find pleasing words. I know my health the best. Nicole, I know that I am about to die."

"Auntie."

Nicole looked at her in surprise.

Martha smiled, "How can I know nothing about my health? I spitted blood a few days ago. You may
have found the best doctor, but I am mentally prepared for the worst. I'm just worried about Tim. I'm
afraid he won't be able to take it. He has been living a hard life. If I die, I'm afraid that he won't be able



to withstand the blow. But now seeing you, I'm much more relieved. You and Tim are cousins. If I die,
you will care about him, right? At least, in this world, he still has a relative. He won't be alone."

Hearing Martha say this, Nicole felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Auntie, don't say that."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of death. I've already experienced everything. I don't have any regrets
now. Right now, the only thing that haunts me is that I haven't found your mother yet. There are some
things I want to ask her in person."

Hearing these words, Nicole hurriedly nodded.

"Don't worry, I will find my mother as soon as possible. I'll let you two recognize each other in time."

"That doesn't matter. I just really want to see her. She's the only family I have in this world in my life."

Martha's sadness made Nicole feel sorrowful.

"Auntie, let me take you to the hospital."

"No, I don't like the smell there. I've been in the sanatorium for so many years. I'm tired of that smell. If
you really want to help me, please keep me away from that place."

Hearing Martha's words, Nicole felt very painful.

"Auntie, there's something wrong with your health right now. You need to go to the hospital for the
treatment."

"I don't want to go to the hospital. I just want to be alone for a while. I'm a little tired. Take me home."



Nicole knew there were other reasons behind Martha's reluctance to the hospital. But she knew it was
true that Martha didn't want to go to the hospital.

Nicole felt worse.

In the end, Nicole did not beat Martha's stubbornness and drove Martha back to Tim's villa.

Martha returned to the villa and stopped Nicole from entering at the gate.

"Hurry up and find Samuel. We troubled you two. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I'll have a
rest in a while."

Nicole never thought that Martha would stop her from entering the villa. How to describe this feeling?

Being blocked outside by her own aunt, she wanted to say something, but when she saw Martha's pale
face, she held back the urge.

"Alright, since that's what you want, I won't disturb you. Have a good rest, okay?"

"Okay."

Martha looked at Nicole with a kind smile on her face.

She didn't know how long she could see Nicole, nor did she know how long her health could keep her
alive. She suddenly felt a little sad and wanted to cry.

She was about to die!

At this moment, Martha's phone rang.

Martha looked at her phone. When she saw the phone number, she directly hung up. She even turned
the phone off. Her movements puzzled Nicole.



Who called Martha? Who knew she was sick?
