Chapter 1234 No One Can Hurt Nicole

"Stop crying!"

In fact, Samuel felt bad too. Although he was angry and mad now, he was still worried about Nicole at
the sight of her tears.

He sighed and stepped forward to hug her. However, she shook off his hands.

She attempted to throw him over the shoulder, but Samuel was agile and landed safely.

"Nicole!"

Samuel could only shout and look at Nicole worriedly.

Nicole couldn't take a grip on herself.

"Leave me alone! Didn't you hate me for having made the decision by myself and drugged you? Yeah,
I'm an emotional woman. I know that you might do better than me for you would be more intimidating
and decisive, but I still didn't want you to hurt your family. I would rather do it for you. Yes! I didn't
expect Petty to be so crazy and even stab her own nephew. I didn't know that she wanted to kill me! I'm
ignorant. I shouldn't have been so presumptuous. I was wrong, okay? You can punish me, blame me or
get mad at me, but you don't have the qualifications or the right to deprive me of my right to be a
mother!"

Nicole stood up from the ground and dried her tears with her hand. However, she felt more upset and
cried even more as she wiped away the tears. In the end, she just let it go and allowed the tears to run
down her cheeks.

Samuel knew that his behavior just now had hurt Nicole. To tell the truth, he felt sorry for it.



But he pushed Nicole out of the operating room just because he was afraid that he would lose control
of his emotions and hurt her.

Ever since the Golden Bug got into his body, he became irritable and impatient. He didn't know if he
could control his temper, but the last thing he wanted in his life was to hurt Nicole.

Was it useful to explain now?

No!

He couldn't deny that he had indeed pulled Nicole out of the operating room rudely just now.

"Nicole, I..."

"Don't come over!"

Nicole roared as she saw that Samuel wanted to approach her.

Her tears were like knives piercing Samuel's heart. He became more fretful and twitchier.

However, he couldn't get angry, because Nicole was very sad now.

He tried hard to restrain his anger, but it didn't work. He felt as if an invisible insect was gnawing at his
chest, which caused him pain and got on his nerves.

He clenched his fists tightly and whispered, "I'm going to buy some water. You calm down."

After that, he left without turning back.

Nicole looked at his back and suddenly felt even more grieved.

He just left?



He was still mad at her, wasn't he?

Nicole was sick at heart. She sat on the bench in the corridor and bit her lower lip tightly, feeling very
aggrieved.

On cue, she got a call from Tim.

Nicole told herself to control her emotions, otherwise Tim would be worried. But after she answered the
phone and heard Tim's voice, she couldn't help but explode and burst into tears.

"Tim..."

"What's wrong? Are you crying? Was Samuel picking on you?"

Tim raised his voice.

However, Nicole quickly denied, "No, it's Lucas. He was stabbed by Petty and got injured. Now he is in
the operating room. Tim, I'm a little scared. Lucas is a good boy. If anything happens to him, I..."

It was on the tip of her tongue to tell Tim what she had suffered just now. But when she heard Tim
questioning whether Samuel treated her badly, Nicole bit back her grumble.

She loved Samuel so much. Even if he had wronged her, she wouldn't allow others to say anything bad
about him.

Hearing this, Tim felt sorry for her, "Do you need me to send someone over? Nicole, I can't leave now.
Evelyn is pregnant."

Nicole was surprised to hear that.

Pregnant?



Evelyn was pregnant?

This was something they didn't want to see.

Tim suffered from leading poisoning, but Evelyn got pregnant now. Obviously, this was bad news.

They couldn't keep the baby.

But Evelyn loved Tim deeply.

Nicole knew how Tim felt now. He called her probably because he was bitter and needed someone to
talk to.

Ballard had just died, and Tim had fewer relatives. Now his wife was pregnant, but the baby couldn't
come to the world. As a husband and a father, Tim should have a breakdown now.

However, he couldn't collapse.

Because Evelyn needed him!

He could only endure the pain and call Nicole. Thus, Nicole decided not to trouble Tim with her own
things.

"Tim, what is Evelyn going to do with the baby?"

Nicole was a woman, so she understood how painful and heartbroken Evelyn was now.

Tim said in sorrow, "Evelyn knows that we can't keep the baby. We're contacting the doctor. However,
Gabrielle is about to have a baby and may not be able to operate on Evelyn. I don't trust other doctors.
After all, Evelyn is so young. I..."



"Tim, I'll call Ashley. She's the Greatest Global Scalpel. Although gynecology is not her strong suit,
she'll try her best."

Tim was really grateful to Nicole.

"Nicole, thank you. I know that you and Samuel are busy now. If I had other choices, I wouldn't have
called you. Besides, Lucas is injured. I..."

"Tim, don't say that. We're family. I also hope that Evelyn will be fine. It's more reassuring to have
Ashley perform the operation."

"Thank you."

Tim hung up the phone.

Nicole didn't dare to delay and hurriedly called Ashley. She told Ashley about Tim's request, and Ashley
agreed without hesitation.

After that, Nicole finally cooled down.

Her sadness was gone. She thought about the whole thing carefully and realized that she seemed to
have reverted to her old habit.

She still remembered that when she had drugged Samuel and acted alone before, the results were
always bad. He had indeed told her not to act alone anymore. Why did she do such a stupid thing
again?

No wonder Samuel was angry.

If she was left out of Samuel's plan, would she get cross?

Nicole asked herself and soon got the answer.



Though she understood why Samuel would get mad at her, she still felt a bit down.

She knew that Samuel was affected by the Golden Bug and changed a lot. He had treated her so
rudely perhaps because he was afraid that he would lose control and hurt her.

Nicole figured it out and sighed.

'Where did he go to buy water?'

'Why isn't he back?'

'Is he avoiding me because he thinks that I'm still angry?'

Nicole was right.

At this moment, Samuel was sitting on the steps at the entrance of the hospital, not caring if his
expensive pants would be stained with dirt.

He hadn't smoked for a long time. He bought a pack of cigarettes and sat on the stairs, lighting a
cigarette and taking a long drag on it.

What should he do?

He was so fractious that even he didn't like himself.

Was Nicole scared by him?

Probably she was.

He had never spoken loudly to her before, but now he actually pushed her out of the operating room in
a rude way.



This sent shivers down his spine.

He almost harmed Nicole today!

How would he be like this?

Nicole was the apple of his eyes, but now he actually couldn't control himself and almost hurt her.

What should he do?

How should he suppress himself?

Samuel smoked his cigarette in silence, but then he got choked and couldn't stop coughing.

An acrid smell went through his throat to his heart, and his eyes were watery, as if tears were about to
roll down his cheeks.

He suddenly took out a dagger and cut his wrist. Bright red blood spurted out in an instant, and his
eyes were filled with madness and recklessness.

If his blood was the nourishment of the Golden Bug, would he be able to force the Bug to get out of his
body by bleeding himself?

He watched the fresh blood gush out from his wrist, attempting to see if there would be a yellow
nematode crawling out of the blood.

He remembered that Joseph had bled Nicole when she was poisoned by the bug.

However, he didn't see any nematodes after staring for a long time.

He knew he might really bleed to death if he didn't stop the bleeding.



As the madness in his eyes was gone, he came to his senses and suddenly realized that he couldn't
die.

What would Nicole do if he died?

He came out because he quarreled with Nicole. If anything happened to him, she would probably
blame herself and feel guilty for the rest of her life.

And Lucas.

He was still in the operating room. If Samuel died, what would happen to his children?

A trace of anger and frustration flashed across Samuel's eyes.

He had to find a way to get rid of the Golden Bug, but not now.

He put pressure on his wound and walked towards the doctor's office.

"Stop the bleeding and bandage it."

The doctor was frightened by Samuel's cold face and quickly did as he said.

After bandaging the wound, Samuel went to buy two bottles of water and returned to the operating
room.

From afar, he saw Nicole sitting on a bench. She stared at the operating room and then at the corridor.
Only when Samuel appeared did she become relaxed and relieved.

Since she was waiting for Samuel, she must care about him.

A hint of joy flashed through Samuel's eyes.



He slashed his wrist just now probably because he had pushed Nicole with that hand.

No one could hurt Nicole, and neither could he!

Thinking of this, Samuel took the water and sat down beside Nicole.

"Have some water. If you're still angry, you can scold me as you like later."
