Chapter 441 She Should Have Known Sooner

"You kidnapped Zoe? Where was she?"

Mrs. Don became nervous.

Nicole had lost a child for Mrs. Don's antidote. The last thing Mrs. Don wanted was for Nicole to lose
another child because of her stupidity. If that happened, Nicole would go mad, and Mrs. Don would
never forgive herself.

Noticing that Mrs. Don was on edge, Viola said with a smile, "What? Now you are anxious? You
remember she is your granddaughter? Hilarious. You used to believe everything I said. You were so
cruel to your own granddaughter. Now you feel sorry for her? You want to be nice to her? Do you think
Nicole will forgive you?"

Mrs. Don looked unhappy when she heard that.

"Shut up!"

"Me? You used to love listening to me, my dear grandmother."

Viola continued to laugh. Mrs. Don's face burned with anger.

Jason had Viola's mouth covered.

"Let me ask you again. Did you kidnap Zoe? Where did you take her?"

Viola growled and wanted to say something, so Jason told his man to remove his hand.

"How do I know where that girl is? If I had her, how could I waste the opportunity to torture Nicole? I
would dry that girl's blood and shoot a video for Nicole. I would enjoy knowing that Nicole was



devastated and guilty as hell! It would kill her when she watched her daughter die but couldn't do
anything about it!

"You bitch!"

Mrs. Don slapped Viola again.

She couldn't believe she had doted on this monster of a woman!

She must have been blind to not see through this woman's disguise. How she had hurt her own
granddaughter!

Hit again, Viola somehow laughed wildly.

"Hit me! Why not kill me? I want to see what you can do when your withdrawal hits. I want everyone in
Seapolis City to know that you are on drugs! That the respected Mrs. Don is actually an addict! How
amusing!"

Viola laughed again. Mrs. Don was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath. Fortunately,
Jason had been watching her all this while and hastily patted her back to calm her down.

"Mom, don't be angry. I'll take care of this. Don't worry about it."

It took Mrs. Don a while to recover. She stared at Viola and said fiercely, "Put her in the dungeon. She
doesn't deserve an easy death! I will make sure she suffers!"

"I see. Mom, leave this to me. Come with me first. You are in no condition to put yourself through this."

Jason was really worried.

He was afraid that Mrs. Don would fall ill.



Mrs. Don was feeling uncomfortable, but she forced herself to see through this interrogation.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm home. Get this heartless bitch out of my face. I feel murderous when I see
her."

Almost!

Mrs. Don was violent recently. She had an itch to kill Viola, provided that didn't break the law.

Jason had Viola taken away.

Viola kept shouting and mocking. Mrs. Don couldn't get her devilish voice out of her head.

She remembered Nicole.

"Didn't Viola say Nicole will come here at two o'clock? It's about time. I want to see her. I need to
explain something to her. I've misunderstood her for so long. I owe her an apology."

Mrs. Don couldn't wait to see Nicole.

She was ashamed to see Nicole but feared she might not get out of the sanatorium alive.

She was way past young and couldn't get too emotional. However, guilty had a hold on her. Nicole's
child died so that she could live, and she had thought Nicole was the bad guy here.

Jason knew Nicole wouldn't have a change of heart after being bullied for so long, even if Mrs. Don had
all the sweet words in the world to say.

However, if what Viola said was true, Nicole would come back for Zoe.

Jason said, "I'll have the house set up for Nicole's arrival. Please speak nicely to her when she comes."



"Good, good. I remember that girl likes crispy pancakes and mangoes. Buy some of them for her."

Mrs. Don got excited.

Noticing that, Jason decided to keep it to himself that Nicole wouldn't be nice if she showed up at all.

He couldn't break it to his mother, who happened to be dying.

Jason and his men got busy preparing things, while Mrs. Don felt she was as thrilled as when she first
found Nicole.

She wanted Nicole to be back in this family and close to her so much.

If it hadn't been for Viola, they would have had a great relationship by now.

Mrs. Don felt sad about it.

She was hoping but also a little afraid to see Nicole.

Time flowed onward. It was already past two o'clock, but Nicole still wouldn't show up.

Mrs. Don was a tad uneasy.

"Jason, go and find out if Nicole is too embarrassed to come in. Welcome her inside."

Mrs. Don might be confused.

If Nicole was here to seek justice, how could she be shy about coming in?

However, Jason didn't say anything and went out to check. Not to mention Nicole, the Greens didn't
even send a car.

"Mom, Nicole might have been delayed by something. Let's wait."



"Okay, okay. We will wait."

Mrs. Don answered, but she looked lonely and disappointed.

Two thirty. Three o'clock. Still no sigh of Nicole. She didn't even bother to give a call.

Mrs. Don got impatient.

"Jason, call her and find out what is going on."

However, Jason was reluctant to do it.

What should he say on the phone? How to put this?

Should he ask Nicole to come because her daughter was kidnapped?

It would sound like the Dons had something to do with it.

"Do it! Hurry up!"

Mrs. Don said anxiously.

With hesitation, Jason had to dial Nicole's number.

Nicole looked at the number on her phone and frowned slightly.

After Samuel left, she was uneasy. Recalling Samuel's instructions, Nicole invited Lucas for a video
chat. Lucas told her he was fine in the Green's, so she was relieved. After chatting with Lucas for a
while, she got a little sleepy and took a nap. Then Jason called and woke her up.

She did not want to answer, but the phone kept ringing, and she felt annoyed.

Nicole hung up the phone.



When the call went straight to voicemail, Jason smiled bitterly.

It was Nicole's M. O.

The Dons hurt her too much, so she had been done with this family long ago. She had been kind
enough to inform Mrs. Don. Her patience had run out, so how could she answer their calls?

Noticing Jason's wry smile, Mrs. Don quickly asked, "No one answered? Or did Nicole say something?"

"Nobody answered. Perhaps the phone is not with her."

Jason lied despite himself when he saw how anxious his mother was.

He admitted Mrs. Don had done something wrong, outrageously wrong. Nicole might have to suffer the
consequences of that mistake for the rest of her life.

He probably wouldn't have forgiven Mrs. Don either if he had been in her shoes. But he felt bad for his
mother. She was being punished for what she had done.

As her son, he couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Mrs. Don's eyes lost their luster.

"She doesn't want to answer our calls. But she should come for Zoe. Or she hasn't known from Viola?"

Jason disagreed with her and shook his head.

"Mom, take a rest. I'll try calling her again. Or I can give Samuel a call. He's the only one who can
convince Nicole now."



"Right, right, call Samuel! Tell him that as long as Nicole is willing to come to our house, I will be happy
to give him everything we have."

Mrs. Don was grasping at straws.

Compared with the Don's property, she cared about Nicole more.

Jason sighed. If she had known better, things wouldn't have come to this.

It was too late.

He called Samuel, but unfortunately, Samuel's phone was switched off.

Samuel rarely shut down his phone. Perhaps it was about Nicole.

Jason thought so. He knew he would annoy Nicole by calling her again, but he did it anyway.

Nicole glanced at her phone, hung it up, and turned it off.

She didn't want to speak to the Dons anymore.

Samuel had asked her to stay out of the Don’s mess when he left.

Moreover, when she thought of Mrs. Don, Nicole couldn't be calm.

She was having her period.

On the day that Samuel left, Nicole actually had her period.

It was a week late. She had thought it wouldn't come. However, not only was she wrong, but the blood
was profuse.

Nicole lied in bed listlessly and felt her valve was wide open, and the blood river was just surging.



Her stomach ached at intervals. Blood was flowing out of her nonstop. She felt her body was being
hollowed out.

Nicole missed Samuel very much.

If Samuel had been here, he would have made her a cup of brown sugar water and gently massaged
her stomach to comfort her.

But he was gone.

Nicole had never felt so lonely in her life.

The fighting and irreconcilable issues seemed meaningless when she was weak and sick. All she could
think about was how nice Samuel had been to her.

Nicole picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number, even though she knew Samuel could not
answer. She just needed to do something to feel closer to him, not afraid to hear his phone was turned
off.
