Chapter 442 I Have Something to Discuss with Nicole

As expected, a cold female voice came from the phone. Nicole listened to it over and over again and
felt she was a little crazy.

Samuel had been on a business trip before, and she was not delicate. What was wrong with her?

Nicole put down the mic and looked at her phone. She had called Samuel from her landline at home.
Staring at her phone, she remembered the shitty things in the Dons and felt even more annoyed.

Nicole threw her phone far away and pulled the blanket over her head to continue sleeping.

Noticing Nicole wouldn't come out of her room, Ms. Bush was somewhat worried. She wanted to say
something but was stopped by Dad Bush.

"She is a grown woman. She can take care of her own business. Don't make matters worse."

"I want to ask her if Samuel would come to dinner tonight, so that I can prepare the dishes."

Ms. Bush found a good excuse.

Dad Bush looked at the tightly shut door and said, "Let her rest for a while. She has been exhausted.
You can make the food when Samuel arrives. Moreover, we have the ingredients. We don't know what
she has been through. Our daughter is considerate and doesn't want us to worry, so she bottles things
up. She wouldn't even tell us about the Dons. If I hadn't heard something, I wouldn't know she has
suffered so much."

"The Dons are pathetic. They fought us for Nicole at first, but now, they're treating their own flesh and
blood like this. I don't know what's wrong with that old woman. Is she getting confused because of old
age? I wouldn't treat Nicole that way when I am older."

When Ms. Bush thought of this, she felt sorry for Nicole.



"Alright, we are not that old yet. Go and make her something delicious, so that she can eat when she
wakes up. How thin the girl has gotten!"

Hearing that, Ms. Bush sighed. Then she turned around and went to the kitchen again.

Nicole did not know the old couple were worried about her. After sleeping for a while, she felt an acute
pain in her stomach. She got up and wanted to drink some hot water to relieve the pain, but she
couldn't find any in the room.

She had to go downstairs.

Zoe was taking a nap. Dad Bush was in the study, while Ms. Bush was cooking something in the
kitchen.

Nicole couldn't help but smile knowing what a nice family she had.

"Mom, what are you making?"

She went into the kitchen and approached Ms. Bush.

Noticing that Nicole's face was green, Ms. Bush quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you
look so bad?"

"It's fine. I am just having my period. My stomach hurts."

Ms. Bush was even more worried when she heard that.

"First time since the Miscarriage?"

"Yes."



"Then quickly go to bed and lie down. I'll make you some brown sugar water. We have to take this
seriously. If you still feel uncomfortable after the sugar water, tell your father and me. We'll go to the
hospital."

Ms. Bush was very worried.

"It's fine, Mom. I'm not that delicate. I'm just thirsty. So, I came down for a drink."

Actually, Nicole's stomach hurt badly, but she didn't want Ms. Bush to worry, so she lied about it.

"You really don't know how to take care of yourself. By the way, will Samuel come back for dinner
tonight? Did you call him?"

When Nicole heard the name Samuel, her heart skipped a beat.

"He's on a business trip. There's an emergency at an overseas venture capital firm that needs his
attention. So, he is abroad. I'm afraid he won't be enjoying your delicious food."

"Business trip?"

Ms. Bush's brows furrowed together.

"Why is he on a business trip at such a critical juncture?"

"Mom, he is needed at the company. Emergencies don't pick time! Alright, I'll eat for him, okay?"

Nicole held Ms. Bush's arm and said coquettishly, as if she had still been a little girl.

Ms. Bush's heart melted when she saw Nicole like this.

"Fine. I'm pleased. Now hurry up and go back to your room to rest. When the brown sugar water is
ready, I'll bring it to you. You're not as healthy as before, so be careful not to eat anything cold. You'd



better stay in bed for the next few days. Don't worry yourself, understand?"

Ms. Bush cared about Nicole very much.

"Got it, mom. I'm just having my period. You said it like I was sick. Are you scaring me to an early
grave?"

Nicole said what she wanted, but Ms. Bush spat three times in a hurry.

"Mind your words! Your father and I just want you to be healthy. Hurry up and rest. Don't worry about
Zoe. We will take care of her."

"Fine. I'll go back to my room and rest!"

Nicole couldn't argue with her mother, so she went upstairs.

After she reached her room, she felt light-headed and weak.

A lot of blood came out this time, which was rare in her case. Maybe it was because of the miscarriage,
and she felt terrible.

Nicole went to the bathroom and turned on her phone. She intended to call Olivia and see if she could
get her a doctor's opinion.

She really didn't want the Bushes to worry anymore.

As soon as the phone was turned on, Jason's text messages popped up.

He told her Viola had indeed done something to Mrs. Don and was in the hands of the Dons. He also
said Viola did not kidnap Zoe at all, but he didn't know how Zoe was doing. Lastly, he said Mrs. Don
was not well and was about to be sent to a sanatorium, so she hoped to see Nicole before she left.



Nicole looked at the text messages and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I understand. I
wish the old lady all the best."

As soon as he got her text, Jason knew Nicole would not come.

Although she wasn't clear about it, anyone with a clear mind would know her decision.

Mrs. Don had been waiting for a long time, which was a torture to her. She thought about everything
she had done to Nicole and realized she was unforgivable, getting less and less confident that Nicole
would come around.

When Jason got her text message, she stared at him like a child, hoping to get good news from him.
Unfortunately, she knew she was doomed when she saw his expression.

"She's not coming?"

"Mom, let's go to the sanatorium first. You can't wait anymore. Besides, Nicole needs time to digest it.
And we should give it to her."

Jason couldn't tell Mrs. Don the truth. It was good for her to be hopeful at such an old age.

Mrs. Don was sophisticated and knew what to expect. She smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to
comfort me. I know best the monstrous things I've done. Not to mention Nicole, even I can't forgive a
person like me. In this lifetime, I'm afraid we won't be grandmother and granddaughter."

"Mom...."

Mrs. Don waved her hand and said, "There is no need to say anything else. I have to pay for my sins,
and I am responsible for what has happened. When she needed the help and support of her family the
most, I, as her grandmother, turned her down and even caused more trouble repeatedly for an outsider.



Not only was I of no help at all, but I also broke her heart. I was so blind. I pushed my own flesh and
blood away. It is too late to say anything. I only hope she can have a good life."

"Yes, Mom, I know."

At this point, Mrs. Don finally understood.

"Jason, help Nicole find Zoe. The child is her everything. Because of me, she lost a child, so we can't
let anything bad happen to Zoe. You are in charge of the Dons now. However, remember that Nicole
has half of the family's property. If the Greens won't let us off, tell them that we will give Nicole
everything we have."

Mrs. Don's words sounded sad to Jason.

He quickly nodded.

"Alright, I'm tired. I want to take a rest. I'll go to the sanatorium in the evening. I want to confess to your
father and your brothers in our ancestral hall. I've brought disgrace to the family."

The old woman looked even older than her age, pitiful, as if her soul had been lost.

Jason had her wheeled into the room. Not willing to give up, he called Nicole again, but her phone was
busy.

"Mr. Jason, Miss Bush might really not want to answer our calls."

The servant beside him spoke out Nicole's thoughts.

Jason looked at Mrs. Don's tightly shut door and said, "Take good care of the old lady. I'll go to the
Green's."



With that, he left with his men.

He knew this mission was difficult to accomplish, but Mrs. Don was knocking at Death's door. He didn't
know if she could come out of the sanatorium alive. Perhaps this would be the last chance Nicole and
Mrs. Don could see each other.

So much had happened, and Jason didn't want Mrs. Don to leave this world with regret.

He rushed to the Green's old mansion but was told Nicole was not there.

Jason went to the Green's seaside villa and received the same news.

Finally, he found out she was in the Bush's, so he drove over.

When he arrived at the Bush's gate, he bumped into Olivia and Gabrielle, the director of the Military
Hospital.

Jason felt nervous.

"What's wrong? Who's sick? Why are you here, Director Farley?"

Gabrielle was Blair's wife. Because Blair didn't want her to tire herself, she hadn't answered home calls
for a long time, and even half of her work in the hospital was taken by Blair. How could Jason not be
surprised and worried to see her here?

When Olivia saw Jason, she stood in front of Gabrielle and said coldly, "Mr. Jason, what are you doing
here?"

Jason knew a little about Olivia. He knew she wanted to avenge Nicole when he noticed how hostile
she was.

He said calmly, "I have something to discuss with Nicole."



"I'm sorry, Nicole is done with you and your family. Samuel is on a business trip. You'd better not harass
Nicole."

Hearing that, Jason was a little dumbfounded.

"Samuel is on a business trip? Now? How is that possible?"

"I'm sorry, Nicole is done with you and your family. Samuel is on a business trip. You'd better not harass
Nicole."

Hearing that, Jason was a little dumbfounded.

"Samuel is on a business trip? Now? How is that possible?"
