Chapter 836 Fate is Fair to Everyone

Nicole looked at Martha. She did not want to tell her about Audrey's illness. She was wondering if fate
was playing tricks on these two sisters. Why did they get sick at the same time?

"We can talk about it on the way."

Nicole wanted to talk to Martha with her. After all, Tim was no longer here. Martha was divorced from
her husband and was alone. It is distressing, but Steve did not agree with Nicole's decision.

"Ms. Nicole, wherever you want to go, I will go with you. But I am afraid that Mrs. Louis cannot come
with us."

"Why not? She is my aunt! Whether you admit it or not, I recognize her identity."

As Nicole spoke, she forcefully took Martha into the car.

Cara did not know who Martha was, but seeing Nicole treat her so well and called her auntie, she
naturally had a good impression of Martha.

Steve wanted to say something else, but Nicole said in a low voice, "I know you work for the Shaws,
and you only listen to your Mr. Shaw. I also know that you might know about those things back then.
But no matter what, she is my aunt. I cannot ignore her. Besides, the two of them have not seen each
other for so many years. This may be the last chance for them, so I must take her with me. If she had
not met me, nothing would happen. It must mean something that we actually bump into each other.
Steve, if you have any difficulty, you can drop us off and call Laurence for me. We can go to my
mother's place by ourselves."

Nicole made her points clearly. If Steve said anything else, Nicole might get off the car immediately.

Steve still remembered that Mr. Shaw asked him to take care of Nicole, so he could only stop talking
now. He wanted to call Mr. Shaw, but then he heard Nicole say, "If you call my grandfather and



anything happens, I will not spare you. My grandfather is not in good health, are you trying to make him
suffer even more by angering him? There is a saying that the soldiers can disregard the orders if the
leader is not present. Steve, you are my man now, so you have to listen to me, for now."

"But Ms. Nicole, she..."

"Enough of it. Just drive."

Nicole also knew that she was a little bit too aggressive, but she could not leave Martha, whether
because she is her aunt or because she is Tim's mother. She could not abandon her.

Tim was a filial man. He must have gone out for Martha's terminal disease.

Before Tim came back, Nicole did not want anything to happen to Martha.

Seeing Nicole treat her so nice, Martha sighed, "It must be hard for you, Nicole. To be honest, I do not
think I can be cured. The only person I want to see for the rest of my life is your mother. We have not
seen each other for so many years. It has been a lifetime. Perhaps before I see her, I will..."

"Auntie, stop saying those depressing words. I am sure my mother will be very happy to see you."

Nicole comforted Martha.

Although Steve did not agree, seeing that Nicole had made up her mind, he did not say anything else.
But he still took extra precautions against Martha.

Martha did not have any reaction to this. She just talked to Nicole about her family. Her kind attitude
reminded Nicole of her mother again.

What was Audrey doing now?

Was she also missing her?



Nicole knew that it was not appropriate for her to come out at this moment. Since Edwin and Samuel
were planning something big, she might disrupt their plan. But there was not enough time for her.

It would be fine if she did not know about Audrey's situation. She could just be a good hostage here
with Edwin and cooperate with them. But now that she knew that Audrey's life was going to end at any
time, she could not sit still and pretend nothing happened.

After delaying all this time, she did not know if Audrey could wait for her.

The tree wants to remain quiet, but the wind will not stop; the son wants to serve his parents, but they
are no longer there.

Nicole did not want to experience this sorrow. Even if Audrey only had one day left, she wanted to be
filial in front of her bed. At the very least, she had to tell her that she was going to be a grandma again.
Maybe that could bring some joy to her life and make her life a bit longer.

Seeing Nicole's sudden sorrow, Martha asked, "Do you miss your mother?"

"Yes, I have missed her for so many years. I have not had much time by her side, but now I just want to
stay with her. It's good enough to hear a story from her."

"You are such a child! It is luckier to have a daughter. Look at how old my son is, and he is still not
planning to get married. I cannot even have a grandson. Maybe I will never have the chance to see it
happen."

Martha's gaze was blurry.

Nicole cleared up her sadness and comforted Martha, "Auntie, stop say that. It is just because Tim has
not met his right one. I believe that he will be able to find his true love, and you will be able to see your
grandson born."



"Come on, there is no need to console me. I know you are being kind. After all these years, I do not
know what my older sister looks like now. I remember when I left, I was only eight years old and Audrey
was already twelve. She was already very graceful and pretty. She looked very good."

Martha seemed to be immersed in the past. Nicole could not bear to interrupt her. Listening to Martha
talk about her and Audrey's childhood, Nicole felt warm.

Steve had remained silent. Cara had also been doing her duty and staying by their side. She did not
say anything and tried her best to leave the space for Nicole and Martha.

After driving for a distance, Nicole realized that they arrived at the airport. She could not help but ask,
"Are we taking a plane?"

"Yes, Ms. Nicole, it is the fastest way! The Mr. Shaw was worried that we cannot make it in time..."

Steve wanted to continue, but he stopped because he did not trust Martha. Nicole clearly understood.

"When we get into the airport, buy a ticket for Auntie."

"I understand."

Steve was reluctant, but he did what Nicole asked him to do.

Nicole looked back at Martha and asked with a smile, "Auntie, do you have your ID?"

"Yes, who will go out without an ID? I am used to it."

Nicole paused slightly.

Martha had been living in a sanatorium for all these years and basically did not go out. Why did she say
she always brought her ID with her?



This doubt flashed through her mind, but she did not pursue it further.

After arriving at the airport, Steve went to buy the plane tickets. Nicole took Martha to the waiting area,
and Cara went to buy some food.

"Mrs. Green, the journey is bumpy, and you have not eaten anything yet. Have some. Here are hot milk
and bread."

Cara passed the food to Nicole. She also gave the same food to Martha.

"Mrs. Louis, here is the breakfast for you."

"Call me Martha. Ballard and I are divorced."

Martha took the bread and milk and expressed her gratitude. But her words immediately embarrassed
Cara.

"Sorry, I didn't know."

"You do not have to apologize. A man who is not worth waiting for and love has already ruined my
entire life. Now that I am dying, I only want to be free."

Hearing Martha say this, Cara did not reply. Instead, she sat down beside Nicole and ate the bread.

Nicole was so hungry. She did not say anything and quickly ate the food for the sake of the baby.

Martha did not eat much. Seeing Nicole swallow so quick with tears at the corner of her eyes, she said,
"He is still making things difficult for you, isn't he? Look at how hungry you are. Eat slowly. Do not
choke yourself. I have more here."

Nicole knew who Martha was talking about, but after swallowing the food, she smiled and said, "It has
nothing to do with grandpa. It was just that I am pregnant again, so I eat more. It is easy for me to get



hungry now."

"What? Are you pregnant?"

Martha was very surprised.

"Aren't you have a special health condition that it is not easy for you to get pregnant?"

Facing Martha's doubts, Nicole says embarrassedly, "Auntie, my body has recovered. Now that I am
carrying a child, you are going to be a grandma, too."

Martha was very surprised, but she smiled and said, "This is great. Fate is fair to everyone."

"It is just that I am lucky."

Nicole smiled like a fool.

Martha touched Nicole's hair as if she were treating her own child, "I really hope you can be safe."

"I will."

When Steve came back, he saw that Nicole and Martha were talking happily. He could not help but
frown.

Just now, he called Edwin and told him about Martha when he went to buy the plane tickets.

Edwin was very angry.

"When we arrive in Bordeaux, find an opportunity to separate Martha from Nicole. If possible, let our
people control Martha. Do not let her be with Nicole."

"Mr. Shaw, Ms. Nicole seems to like and trust Martha very much."



Steve said awkwardly.

Edwin was instantly enraged.

"Foolish! If I wanted to recognize this daughter, I would have done it earlier. Why would I have to wait
until now? How will Audrey take it when she sees Martha? Who could predict it? Audrey is such an
independent person, if she really wants to meet her sister and her mother, will I be able to stop her?
But did you hear her say something about her mother and her sister? Have you heard that she was
looking for them? Or have you seen Audrey actually looking for them? Back when her mother was
alive, she did not even look for her. Now that her mother was gone, why would she want to see this
little sister? Although I do not know why Audrey did this, I know my daughter. She will not do it for no
reason." Listen to me. You must protect Nicole and separate Martha from her. When you get off the
plane, do it for me, ok? "

Hearing Edwin's words, Steve immediately became serious and nervous.

"Mr. Shaw, I understand. I will make sure it's done."

When Steve passed Martha the ticket, he could not help but made an extra glance at Martha.

Seeing that Steve was looking at her, Martha smiled and said, "What is wrong? Is there something on
my face?"

Steve hurriedly turned away.

He was in his forties and had been with the Mr. Shaw for a long time. He had seen Audrey a few times,
and Martha's smile was similar as Audrey's. However, Steve still did not trust her.

"Because I bought the tickets on such a short notice, your seats are not next to each other. Ms. Nicole,
you are with Cara. I will be with Martha."



Steve arranged the seats on purpose, thinking that no matter what, he would have to keep Nicole and
Martha apart. However, he never expected that things would take such a turn even before the plane
landed.
