Chapter 1009 All Lay Load on the Willing Horse

"Don't worry. Since we've discovered it now, let's see how to solve it. After all, that's the way it is. None
of us expected that she would attack you. After all, you're Petty's husband, and Petty likes you so
much."

Nicole was also shocked, but now she could only quickly stop the loss.

"Doctor, should we send Zac to rehab?"

That was what Nicole was most afraid of.

What if Petty couldn't see Zac when she woke up?

How should she persuade her to stay here and have a rest instead of returning to the Green's?

The doctor looked at Nicole and then at Zac.

Zac's face was pale, and he trembled with rage.

"Lillian is really ruthless. She's actually Petty's mother! No! I can't let her stay by Petty's side, which is
also good for Petty. She may affect my child. Fortunately, she came back after Petty was pregnant.
Otherwise, I don't know if there will be any problems with my child."

The more Zac said, the angrier he became. If he had a knife now, he would probably kill Lillian
immediately.

Nicole understood his feelings.

After all, as parents, they all cared for their children.

Nicole patted Zac on the shoulder and comforted him, "I and Samuel aren't considerate enough. Sorry
to make you suffer."



"It's not the fault of you and Mr. Green. One can never be too careful. No one would have thought that
Lillian would do that. I'm afraid that Petty can't take it when she knows about it."

When Zac mentioned Petty, he sounded distressed.

Seeing that Zac did not complain about Petty because of Lillian's fault and did not vent his anger,
Nicole felt relieved.

"Doctor, what exactly is going on?"

The doctor knew about Petty. It was obviously unrealistic for Zac to go to the drug rehabilitation center
now. She pondered for a moment and said, "Mrs. Green, we can set up a separate room in the
sanatorium for Mr. Neo to recover from drug abuse. However, it would require Mr. Neo's strong
willpower to do so. After all, we can't help you here by force. And if you fall into the habit again, there's
a good chance that Mrs. Neo will run into you."

Zac looked down and pondered.

He looked like he was in pain.

To be honest, it was unbearable for everyone addicted to that. Moreover, with Petty's situation, Zac was
really conflicted.

Nicole did not urge him. The only one who could make the decision was Zac himself.

After a long silence, Zac finally made up his mind.

"I want to stay here. Petty needs me. I can't let her find out all of this. She used to yearn for family so
much. If she knows that the family she yearned for is like this, I don't know if she can withstand it. I
know that I may not be able to stay in rehab here, but I have no choice. With my wife and child behind
me, what else can I do?"



Nicole was not surprised by his choice.

She nodded and let the doctor operate.

Only Zac and Nicole stayed in the room.

Zac whispered, "Nicole, I hope you can help me hide it from Petty."

"Sooner or later, she will know."

"Then hide it as long as possible. You may never be able to understand an orphan's desire for family,
let alone how much harm it would do to us if there are cracks in our family."

"I know."

Nicole sighed and said, "What Mr. and Mrs. Bush did to me taught me how terrible it was to be hurt by
family."

Zac paused for a moment before remembering that Nicole's troublesome adoptive parents.

"Have they messed with you recently?"

"Don't worry about that. Take good care of yourself and Petty. You can stay here for the time being. If
you need anything, tell Alison. She will take care of you."

Nicole looked at the time. It was getting late. She was about to leave.

Zac nodded and said, "Sorry to cause so much trouble for you and Mr. Green."

"Don't say that. Take good care of yourself. I'll come back to see you after I deal with Lillian."

"Alright."



Nicole walked out of the room and said to Alison, "Leave your phone number and Twitter account to
Zac. If he and Petty need anything, you can help solve it."

"Alright."

Alison left her phone number and Twitter account, got in the car with Nicole, and directly went back to
the downtown.

Along the way, Alison hesitated to ask something, while Nicole felt extremely tired.

The moles beside her were discovered one after another, upsetting her a lot.

Why were there so many bastards who were unscrupulous for their own purposes, not caring about
others at all?

Nicole sighed and slowly closed her eyes to rest for a while.

After all, she was injured, so it was normal for her to be a little tired.

After Alison drove back to the downtown, she didn't know where to go, so she asked, "Mrs. Green,
should we go to the company or the Green's or go back to the commander's?"

"Go back to the Green's! It's time to meet Lillian."

Nicole said indifferently.

Alison nodded and drove to the Green's.

When Nicole returned, Lillian was cooking fish. When she saw Nicole, she was slightly shocked.

"Why did you come back so early? Zac went out to buy some vegetables and hasn't come back yet.
Come on in. Look at your expression. I'm really worried about you."



Lillian greeted her warmly, but Nicole felt a little awkward.

She felt like a guest.

Nicole walked into the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room. She took off her slippers and
took out the remote control, turning on the TV.

When Lillian saw her indifferent expression, a trace of contemplation flashed through her eyes.
However, she still smiled and said, "Nicole, watch TV first. I'll go cook and call Zac to ask where he is."

"Okay."

Nicole replied indifferently.

Alison followed Nicole and placed a backrest on her back.

Lillian looked at Alison thoughtfully, but went straight to the kitchen without any words.

Soon, Alison whispered, "Lillian sent a signal in the kitchen."

"How did you know?"

Nicole was a little surprised.

Alison took out a small device and handed it to Nicole.

"This is a special signal interceptor for the Special Warfare Team. I wanted to fix it here, but someone
had already installed one here. It should be locked onto Lillian's phone. As long as she sends
messages or calls with her phone, our signal interceptor will sense it."

Nicole was immediately shocked.



It should be Samuel who installed it at home.

After all, no one except him would know about that.

In other words, Samuel had knew that something was wrong with Lillian before he left the Seapolis
City?

Or had he suspected Lillian even earlier?

Nicole did not know, but she confirmed once again that Samuel had his own plan against the schemes
this time.

Thinking of this, Nicole immediately relaxed a lot.

"Can you see or hear what she sent or what she said on the phone?"

After saying that, Nicole glanced at the kitchen.

Lillian stood with her back to them, so Nicole and the others wouldn't see whether she sent a message
or made a phone call.

She was very cautious.

Alison whispered, "We can see her message, but if it's a phone call, we need a computer."

"Let's see what it is first."

As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Alison activated the interceptor system and quickly locked onto
Lillian's number.

"Mrs. Green, it's a message."



"What did she say?"

"Have people surround the Green's outside and wait for orders."

Hearing Alison's words, Nicole sneered.

It seemed that Lillian was going to fight against her openly.

It made sense.

Petty went to the hospital with her, but she came back alone. Zac went to buy vegetables but didn't
come back yet. As a smart person, Lillian thought of something. However, what let Nicole down was
that Lillian did not mention anything about Petty. She did not ask about her.

Wasn't she Petty's mother?

Didn't she say that she could do anything for Petty?

Why was she so calm now?

There was only one possibility that she had already known Nicole's soft spot. She knew that Nicole
would not harm Petty, which was why she was so unscrupulous.

'All lay load on the willing horse.'

Nicole sighed in her heart and whispered to Alison, "Send a message to our people and tell them to
wait near Lillian's people."

"Yes! The commander said that if you needed anything, he would help you free of charge."

Nicole smiled.



Her grandfather was really helpful.

"We don't need it for the time being. Our people can handle it."

Alison quickly gave the order.

After Lillian finished sending the message, she looked into the living room and found Nicole leaning
lazily on the sofa watching TV. Seeing her laugh and get angry from time to time, Lillian was a little
confused.

Did she really not know what she was doing? Or was she pretending?

Lillian admitted that if she was pretending, Nicole was much calmer than Petty.

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she quickly took out a bag of powder from her pocket and poured it into
the Duck Soup in the pot.

She did it quietly.

After Lillian finished all of this, she cooked a few more dishes before saying with a smile, "Nicole, time
for dinner."

"Coming."

Nicole went to the bathroom to wash her hands and then went to the dining hall.

The four dishes and one soup on the table were very sumptuous.

"Sit down and have a try. I've cooked your favorite Duck Soup. Taste it."

Lillian gallantly got a bowl for her, but Nicole lost her appetite.



"Ms. Lillian, there shouldn't be anything inside, right?"

Nicole smiled and stared at Lillian with her beautiful eyes.

Lillian was slightly shocked. She smiled and said, "Of course I have to put something in it. How can the
soup taste good without seasoning? Don't overthink."

However, Nicole did not have the mood to pretend with her anymore. She directly asked, "Did you put
in the seasoning or the drug?"

The moment Lillian heard those words, her expression immediately
changed.

"Ms. Lillian, there shouldn't be anything inside, right?"
Nicole smiled and stared at Lillian with her beautiful eyes.

Lillian was slightly shocked. She smiled and said, "Of course | have to put something in it. How can the
soup taste good without seasoning? Don't overthink."

However, Nicole did not have the mood to pretend with her anymore. She directly asked, "Did you put
in the seasoning or the drug?"

The moment Lillian heard those words, her expression immediately
changed.
