Chapter 1124 Daring, You Are So Sweet

"What's the matter?"

Samuel noticed something wrong from Nicole's expression and quickly stood up and walked over.

Nicole was dumbfounded.

Samuel came over and saw that the bag was filled with bloody game.

Pheasants, rabbits, and the like, but they were all bloody. Some of them were still twitching, and blood
was oozing out from their mouths.

This scene was especially scary. If one was a bit timid, he would probably be frightened to tears.
Although Nicole did not cry, she tried her best to resist her nausea and she felt so bad.

"Is this the New Year gift from the Don family?"

Edwin's expression turned ugly. He wanted Steve to call Mark but was stopped by Nicole.

"Grandfather, let me make this call."

Nicole's expression carried a hint of pleading, and Edwin did not bear to refuse. He sighed and turned
his head, but he didn't look better.

He would first listen to Don family's explanation. If it wasn't satisfactory, he wouldn't spare those two
brats.

Nicole was still trembling. Samuel said worriedly, "Why don't I make this call? Don't worry, I will pay
attention to my words."

"No need. The New Year gift is a sign of their kindness to me. As a junior, I should make a phone call to
report my safety."



Nicole tried her best to calm down, then, she picked up the phone and called Jason.

She didn't know if Mark was still busy in the military area, but Jason had an open schedule.

When Jason received Nicole's phone call, he was stunned. He remembered what happened last time
at the blind date and felt a little guilty. His voice softened a little.

"Nicole, it's so late, do you want help?"

Nicole smiled and said, "Jason, I just received the New Year present from the Don family. They are
quite abundant. Those pheasants and rabbits aren't dead yet, and they are bleeding. I heard that
steaming them alive would make them taste more delicious. Thank you, Jason, for sending me the
game."

Jason was astounded and asked, "What pheasant and rabbit? I didn't give you these things! I just
bought you some tonics and had someone send them to you."

"You didn't? Can it be from Mark?"

As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Jason immediately said, "Impossible. Mark went out on a mission
and hasn't returned yet."

Nicole's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she still smiled and said, "Then, that was
probably given by someone else and I made a mistake. No problem, I'll ask again."

"Alright, if anything happens, remember to call me."

Jason was a little worried.

"I will. Jason, I gotta go."

After saying that, Nicole hung up.



Samuel was by her side, he naturally heard it clearly, and he involuntarily frowned.

Seeing Nicole's expression, Edwin asked, "Did the two brats from the Don family send this?"

"No."

Nicole repeated Jason's words, and the living room instantly went silent.

Someone gave this bloody gift under the name of the Don family. There must be something fishy about
it.

"I think I should tell Jason to find out who the gift giver is. Let's throw away the game. It's not good to
take gifts sent by unidentified persons."

Samuel suggested.

The matter of Nicole being poisoned still left him lingering fear. Now, he could no longer withstand this
kind of accident.

Edwin also agreed.

Seeing that they had the same opinion, Nicole did not say anything and asked someone to take out the
game to dump it.

After receiving the news, Jason started investigating the person who delivered the gift to Nicole.
Unfortunately, that person had a car accident on his way back and hadn't woken up yet.

This news made Nicole a little afraid.

It didn't look like a simple car accident. Moreover, the game really disgusted her.

Jason swore to investigate this matter thoroughly, and Samuel and Edwin did not stop him.



Edwin frowned and said, "Why don't you move to my place? If we stay together, whoever did this won't
dare to make a move. I'm really worried about Nicole now. Besides, it's almost the New Year and Tim is
about to get married. By living with me, it will be convenient for you to give me some advice."

If the gift-giving incident didn't happen, Nicole didn't want to go there. After all, it would be great to live
with Samuel. With so many people around, she had to endure her desires and held her emotions.
However, now that such a thing had happened, Nicole knew that both Edwin and Samuel were worried
as well as the children. Although the two kids did not say anything during her recovery, Nicole could tell
that they were very worried about her.

Thinking of this, Nicole glanced at Samuel and whispered, "Then, let's move over?"

"Yeah."

Right now, Samuel's main task was to ensure Nicole's safety. If it weren't for the poison incident, he
wouldn't be so scared. Now, he was worried all day long and it felt so bad.

Since Samuel had said so, Nicole could not say anything else.

Seeing that Nicole had agreed, Edwin was overjoyed. He asked Steve to bring him home to tidy up
Nicole's room.

Seeing that Edwin was happy, Steve was infected. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shaw, we have to go to
Tim's place."

"I almost forgot. I have to get the bride some gifts."

As he spoke, Edwin stood up and left.

As soon as they left, only Samuel and Nicole were left in the living room.



Nicole leaned against Samuel's embrace and whispered, "You are afraid that you won't be able to
protect me?"

"Yes, it will be safer to stay at Grandpa's place. Grandpa is retired from the special forces. I can count
on him. Besides, if you stay together, whoever did this won't dare to make a move."

Since Samuel had said this, Nicole wouldn't refuse.

"The children should be sent directly to Edwin's place."

"Okay."

Nicole yawned.

Seeing that she was tired again, Samuel said softly, "Let me carry you up for a sleep?"

"Okay, but I still want to go out and buy something for the New Year as well as some jewelry for Evelyn.
Although I have given her some gifts, as a woman, she won't reject jewelry."

Nicole yawned and said.

Samuel nodded and agreed.

"When you wake up, I'll go with you."

"Daring, you are so sweet."

Nicole kissed Samuel on the face, and then she was picked up by Samuel and was carried to the
bedroom.

Nicole didn't feel that unwell. She just felt a little weak and would always want some sleep.



After Samuel slept with her for a while, Nicole woke up and her mental state was obviously much
better.

Nicole called Evelyn. Evelyn seemed to have just woken up, and she heard drowsy.

Nicole smiled and said, "Oh, it's daytime yet Tim was having a good time with you. Do you know that
people will be jealous of you?"

Evelyn instantly blushed.

"Nicole, what are you thinking? Who told you that we had sex in daytime?"

"Oh, you mean this?"

Nicole was in a good mood and would like to tease Evelyn.

Evelyn blushed with embarrassment and scolded, "I don't bother to explain. Why are you calling?"

"I'm asking you out to go shopping. Do you wanna go?"

Evelyn looked at Tim upon hearing it.

After Martha died, Tim was in a bad mood. Edwin came not long ago and said he would organize a
wedding. Tim agreed, Edwin let them move to the villa to live together, Tim also agreed. But Evelyn
could see that there was a scar in Tim's heart, and it would take time to heal.

If Tim were to stay with Nicole at this time, perhaps he would get twice the effect with half the effort?

Evelyn thought in her heart. She had to admit that she was still feeling a little helpless. After all, her
man needed another woman to comfort him, which upset her. However, Evelyn trusted Nicole. They
were now relatives. Sometimes, the company of relatives was necessary.



Thinking of this, Evelyn whispered, "Wait a moment. I'll ask our driver if he wants to go with me. After
all, it's snowing outside. Without a driver, we two women won't be able to enjoy the shopping."

"Alright."

After saying that, Nicole hung up.

Samuel knew that Nicole was vulnerable to coldness, so he held her hands in his.

"Tim also wants to go?"

Samuel asked.

Nicole thought that Samuel was jealous again, so she smiled and said, "He will not affect your status in
my heart. Don't worry."

After saying that, Nicole smiled brightly.

Samuel knew that Nicole had misunderstood and wanted to explain. He sighed and said, "Martha is
dead. She had a sudden myocardial infarction and wasn't saved in time."

"What?"

Nicole was stunned.

She thought she misheard.

Martha, who had tolerated everything for so many years, and even had no hesitation in involving her
son, was dead just like that?

"You made it?"



Nicole looked at Samuel and felt a little nervous. Although everyone knew that Martha deserved to die,
she could not die at Samuel's hands.

No matter what, Martha was Tim's mother, though Tim hated her, blamed her, he wouldn't stand by if
anyone did something to her.

Nicole was sure and only looked nervously at Samuel.

She cared about Tim. At this moment, Samuel was a little jealous. However, he knew what Nicole was
thinking of him, so he quickly adjusted his mood and whispered, "It's not me. When I went, Tim and
Evelyn were both there. Martha had passed away. She passed away in front of Tim. I think this should
be the best ending for her. Although she had done so many bad things, in the end, her son took care of
her funeral. I heard that Tim buried her on Plantain Mountain in the east, which is a good place. "

Nicole frowned slightly when she heard Samuel.

Did she die in front of Tim?

Was this a coincidence?

Nicole was confused for a moment.

Right at this moment, Nicole's phone suddenly rang, startling her, who was deep in thought.
