Chapter 1060 Let&##x27;s Make a Bet

Joseph was still a child after all. He naively thought that if he created a disturbance, he would be able
to buy Nicole some time so she could leave this place. However, Nicole noticed that the entrance was
heavily guarded, and there were even several machine guns. Even if she ran out now, she would still
be shot to death.

She hadn't found Lucas and Samuel yet, and she didn't want to leave a shadow over Joseph's life
because of this matter. Nicole immediately picked Joseph up and tightly held him in her arms.

"Little bastard, are you courting death?"

Tricked by Joseph, the subordinate of Sam's was pissed. Carrying his gun, he came towards the boy.

Joseph knew a little about martial arts, but now that his leg was injured, there was little he could do.
Moreover, he was still in Nicole's arms, so he was somewhat anxious.

"Mommy!"

"Don't talk, sweetie."

While smiling at Joseph, Nicole kicked the man's wrist.

He screamed.

With a crisp sound, his arm was broken.

The corners of Sam's lips curled into a charming smile, and he clapped his hands.

"Good skill! Samuel must be proud of you."

Once Sam spoke, the man immediately stopped attacking Nicole and stood aside respectfully, but he
glared at her.



"Let my people treat my son. I'll cooperate with you to call Samuel and lure him over."

Nicole's words stunned Joseph.

"Mommy, you can't!"

"Sweetie, be good. Don't interrupt."

Nicole touched Joseph's head. The gentleness in her eyes softened Sam for a second.

There was once a woman who was gentle to him like this.

His mind wandered away.

Joseph tightly grabbed Nicole's hand and said, "Mommy, you can't stay here. That man kills without
blinking. Miss Morgan..."

Joseph cried.

Nicole's heart sank slightly.

When she didn't see Morgan here, she wondered why. Now that she heard Joseph say this, she
couldn't help but feel anxious.

"What happened to Morgan?"

"She was injured in order to save me. Not only did these bastards refuse to treat her, but they even
threw her into the sea. Now I don't even know if she's alive or dead. Mommy, I couldn't protect Miss
Morgan. I can't lose you too!"

Tears streamed down his cheeks.



Nicole's heart ached for Joseph.

This child had gone through so much at such a young age. She was worried that he would become
autistic again.

"Don't worry, sweetie. Miss Morgan is blessed. She will be fine."

Nicole tried to comfort Joseph.

Sam's absent-mindedness only lasted for an instant. Seeing Nicole and Joseph talking to each other as
if he weren't even there, he couldn't help but frown.

"Have you two forgotten that I am a terrorist?"

"So?"

Nicole looked at Sam coldly, as if the gentleness he had seen was just an illusion.

This woman had so many sides.

Sam was attracted to her.

"If you help me kill Samuel, I will marry you and make you my lawful wife. What do you think?"

Nicole was surprised, and then she burst out laughing.

"Sam, don't you think you're ridiculous? You're terrorist, and you're talking about lawful? Do you even
dare walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau? Can you get a marriage certificate? Funny."

Nicole's words did not provoke Sam in the slightest. Instead, he smiled happily.

How many years had it been?



No one had dared to speak to him like this for years.

This woman was very much like the one he had always remembered.

The look in Sam's eyes softened.

"As long as you help me do what I want, I will guarantee you a comfortable life. You can live as you
please. I promise."

"True love doesn't involve any interests. So you don't really like me. Perhaps you're confused because I
look like someone you know?"

Nicole made a wild guess.

Sam's face fell.

"Don't forget yourself. You should be grateful that I'm interested in you."

"I should be grateful to my parents. You're just being stupid."

Nicole made sure Sam heard her loud and clear.

Sam could tell that she was not afraid of him at all.

'Samuel is a lucky bastard.'

Where did he meet such an interesting woman?

Sam casually sat on the ground and looked at Nicole. "I agree to your request, but will you really help
me contact Samuel?"



"Of course, I know my husband. Be prepared to withstand his anger. Sam, think about it. If my husband
doesn't come, you will still have a chance to live. If he arrives, you might be doomed."

Sam laughed at that.

It was sinister and creepy. He laughed so hard he was out of breath, as if Nicole had said something
hilarious.

Nicole felt that this man was simply a lunatic.

With Nicole having distracted the terrorists, Laurence sneaked to them.

Nicole noticed and did not say anything.

Sam laughed until tears came out of his eyes.

Nicole wished he could just laugh to death.

When he finally stopped laughing, he looked at Nicole with interest.

"Then let's make a bet to see who will win," he suggested.

"What's the bet? What if you lose?" she asked.

Sam was more interested.

"If I lose, my life is yours. How about that?"

"Deal."

Nicole readily agreed.

Sam smiled and asked, "What if you lose?"



"Impossible. My husband won't lose."

Nicole's complete trust in Samuel made Sam feel a little ironic.

"Really? He won't lose? Then let's wait and see. If you lose, I want Samuel's life! And you must
personally finish him off. What do you say?"

Hearing Sam's words, Nicole was stunned.

She saw a strong killing intent in his eyes.

What kind of deep hatred did he have with Samuel?

Nicole did not reply.

Sam didn't care, as if whether Nicole took the bet or not didn't matter.

He waved his hand and his subordinate walked away.

Nicole hurriedly said to Laurence, "Treat Joseph first."

Laurence nodded.

Although Joseph still wanted to struggle, under Nicole's gentle gaze, he could only sigh and sit there
while Laurence treated his injuries.

During this time, none of them said anything.

The smell of blood permeated the hall, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

Nicole had always been vigilant about the people around her in case they suddenly attacked them.



She had to be. Sam was too dangerous.

If she were to fight him one-on-one, she would definitely not be a match for this man.

Sam didn't take Nicole's precautions seriously. Instead, he leaned sluggishly and whispered, "Let me
tell you a story."

Nicole did not interrupt him. If she guessed correctly, he was going to talk about the grudge between
him and Samuel.

Sam eased slightly, and a touch of gentleness appeared in his sinister eyes.

"I had an older sister called Jillian. She was very beautiful, just like you. My parents loved her very
much. She liked to study medicine, and her favorite color was olive green, so she joined the army and
became a military doctor."

Nicole was surprised.

She never expected that Sam's sister was a soldier.

Sam didn't notice Nicole was surprised. He was immersed in his memory.

"My sister was the gentlest woman in the world. She always spoke softly, just like my mother. She also
cried a lot and was afraid of pain. When she was a child, her skin would turn blue and purple for
several days when she bumped into the corner of the table. The doctor said that she had a sensitive
constitution and was more sensitive to pain than others. What she felt was ten times more painful than
ordinary people do. So it really surprised us that she wanted to be a military doctor."

Nicole knew about this physique. Many people thought that women with kind of physique were just
pretentious, but in reality, they were wrong. To these women, a slight pain would be instantly
transmitted to their limbs and bones, causing excruciating pain.



Tears welled up in Sam's eyes.

"You know what? After my sister became a military doctor, she wrote home, saying that she was doing
great in the military area. Every time, she would report good news but not bad news. We gradually got
used to it and thought everything was fine with her. Until one day, she wrote that she fell in love with a
patient, a man who came back from the front line and almost died. That man's name was Samuel. That
was the first time our family had heard the name Samuel."

Nicole's heart missed a beat.

She had never asked about Samuel's military life. She had thought about the cruelty of the war and
how it was impossible for Samuel not to be injured. However, when she heard Sam say that he almost
died, Nicole's heart tightened.

The gentleness in Sam's eyes was gone.

"During that period of time, she was always talking about Samuel. His name was in her every letter. We
knew that she was in love. But because that man was from the military region, we couldn't check him
out. Even though we were worried, we could only get information from my sister's letter."

"She was happy and content at first. She even said that she wanted to change professions for Samuel.
We were naturally happy about it, but before my sister came home, we were told she died."

"To save Samuel, she was shot by machine guns on the battlefield, and her body was full of bullet
holes. She always valued her appearance. But she sacrificed her life for an outsider like Samuel and
died a horrible death. My mother had a weak heart and died of a heart attack when she received the
news of her death. My father drank all day long. My family is ruined just like that. My sister died for him.
Why does he deserve to live so happily?"

Sam raised his head abruptly. There were tears in his cruel eyes.



Nicole sympathized with Jillian very much, but she was not misled by Sam.

"Your sister sacrificed herself. She was a heroine and a martyr. But she was not Samuel's wife. Why
can't he have a new life? Besides, even though your sister liked Samuel, did he like her? Sam, you
can't blame Samuel for your sister's death. It's unfair!"
