Chapter 196: To Be the Mistress of the Green Family
"How's Mrs. Green, Doctor?” Jacob asked at once.
The doctor looked from Jacob to Nicole, but Samuel was not there, and for a moment he hesitated.
"Where's Mr. Green?”
"He's resting,’ Nicole whispered. "I'm his wife Nicole and Laurel's daughter-in-law. You could tell me,
doctor.”
“Yes, yes, this is our lady. You could tell her.’
Jacob hastened to agree.
The doctor, who knew Jacob and naturally believed him, said in a low voice, "Miss, let's go to the office
and have a talk.”
"My mother-in-law...”
"Fine for the moment.”
The doctor's words were a relief to Nicole.
The two men entered the office one after the other.
As the door of the office closed, the doctor sighed and said, "Miss, Mrs. Green is in a bad condition.
“What exactly happened?”
Nicole was more or less prepared, but she was not at ease when she heard this. She had little contact
with Laurel, but this time, she felt that this woman was very wise and kind. No matter what her previous
attitude was, she was really nice to Zoe.
The doctor sighed and handed over Laurel's healthy report.
"Mrs. Green's health was not so good when she was young, and I don't know what happened then.
She may have taken a lot of folk prescriptions, which is not approved by doctors. After all, many
medicines in folk prescriptions are toxic, which will make people collapse after years of taking-in.
Moreover, I have examined Mrs. Green's body carefully, and found that apart from the room toxicity in
the folk prescription, there is other toxicity that has been surrounding her. Although it has improved in
recent years, it still hurts her in the core"
"Can it be treated?"
Now Nicole understood what it was. Laurel's body could have been tampered with just like Joseph's.
She wanted to know now if there was any way Laurel would get better.
The doctor shook his head and said, "It's too late."
“What do you mean?”
"Mrs. Green's health is not good. Now look here.”
The doctor pointed to Mrs. Green's X-ray picture and said, "She's got cancer here, and it's already
spread around the body, and it's advanced.”
"Is this advanced liver cancer?” Nicole froze.
The doctor nodded.
"The liver is the least pain-sensitive organ in the body, but once a person feels the pain, it's already too
late. The medicine Mrs. Green had been taking for years had already eaten into her body. After the
metabolism, the liver is the first to be attacked and persecuted. Now all the toxins accumulated in the
liver couldn't get out, so it becomes cancerous, which is very common in medicine. If I have found it a
few years ago, there might have been salvation, and now..."
The doctor hadn't finished, but Nicole got the message.
There was a sudden pang in her heart.
At her age, she really couldn't face death bravely, let alone the people around her would leave her
anytime and anywhere.
"Doctor, please, will you please save her? We will cost as much as we have.”
Nicole's request was every family's request, but doctors sometimes failed to do it.
"Miss, I think you'd better discuss it with Mr. Samuel. Mrs. Green should have no problem with
chemotherapy now, but her life won't last long and it won't make much sense.”
The doctor's words were a direct death sentence for Mrs. Green, which was cruel to Nicole.
She did not know how she got out of the office, but when she saw Jacob's worried eyes, she suddenly
asked calmly, "Samuel is on the rooftop, isn't he?"
"Yes!"
"Bring me a light blanket."
Nicole's words made Jacob shocked, but he did not delay and sent for a thin blanket.
Nicole stepped up to the roof.
A handsome man on the rooftop, smoking a cigarette, was a bit shocked when he saw Nicole.
Nicole paid little attention to him, but went straight to Samuel and found him asleep on the rooftop,
feeling indescribably sad and distressed.
This man always treated himself badly.
She went to Samuel's side and covered him with the thin blanket she held in her hand, to keep out
some of the cold wind.
Mike seemed to know Nicole's identity and asked hesitantly, "Are you Samuel's beloved?”
"You are?"
“My name is Mike, Samuel's good friend.’
Mike happily held out his right hand.
Nicole shook his hand politely and then whispered, "How long has it been since he took a good rest?"
"He said he hasn't slept for three days. Samuel was tough when he was in the army, now since he is
faced with so many things, he would not shrink back, but he is aman. A man has his limits. I don’t want
to interfere in you too much, but I hope you could be distressed for him. He is not easy.”
“I see, thank you."
Nicole never took her eyes off Samuel.
There were traces of cyan under his eyes, and the moustache had come out. He had always been
image-conscious, but now he was really thin.
When Mike saw that there was no point in being here, as Nicole was so focused on Samuel that she
didn't even look at him, he left soon.
Nicole sat next to Samuel and just looked at him.
If there weren't so many messy things, would they be able to live a life other would envy? But without
these things, how would she have known Samuel's heart? How could she know how strong their
relationship would be?
One may have crushes on many people, and many would be together because of this, but in the end,
few would stick it to then end.
Nicole saw the tooth mark on Samuel's wrist, which was left by her.
At the time she did not feel that she had exerted much effort, perhaps without knowing it, but now
Samuel did have a deep mark on his wrist, a purple blush that was Clearly swollen.
Nicole was distressed.
She saw Jacob not far away and whispered, "Get me a first aid kit.”
Jacob retreated silently.
When Nicole had healed Samuel's wound, she whispered, "Let him sleep for half an hour, and then
wake him up. It's windy here. Don't catch cold.
“And you, ma ‘am?”
“I'm going to see Mrs. Green and Zoe. Someone has to take the lead.”
Nicole at this moment was no longer weak, her strong eyes made Jacob felt confident.
"Yes!"
Nicole gently kissed Samuel on the forehead and turned away.
When she went back to Mrs. Green's ward again, Mrs. Green was already lying there, but she wasn't
awake.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Nicole got some hot water over and gave Mrs. Green a gentle wipe, as if she were her own mother.
When she had finished, she went out to pick some fresh flowers, put them in a vase, and put them in
front of Mrs. Green's table.
There was a scent of flowers in the ward, which made Mrs. Green, who just woke up, somewhat
gratified and happy.
"You're a patient yourself, and you're coming to take care of me?"
"Yes, you are the mother.’
Nicole smiled lightly. The persistence and openness of the smile pleased Mrs. Green.
"Do you feel better?"
"Much better.”
Nicole's words made Laurel nod in relief.
"Here, I have something for you.”
Laurel waved at Nicole.
Nicole went over and sat down next to her.
Mrs. Green took a small treasure box out of her pocket and handed it to Nicole.
"This is what the Green Family handed down from generation to generation, to their daughter-in-law.
Today I give this to you. I want you and Samuel to live together forever.’
"Mom, I can't take it."
Nicole didn't open it, but the ancient totem on the box showed her that it was a very important object
and could be very valuable.
Laurel laughed and said, "You don't want to be with Samuel?"
"Yes, but you needn't have to give it to me in such a hurry. Samuel and I still have a long way to go,
and we...”
"I don't have much time.”
Mrs. Green's words stopped Nicole.
"Mother, what are you talking about?”
“You don't have to hide it from me. From the time Samuel had examination for me, I knew there might
be something wrong with me. After all these years abroad, I often feel painful, but nothing checks out. I
knew that my time was running out when I could faint.”
Mrs. Green was wise. No matter to others or to herself, she seemed to live a special free and
extraordinary life.
Nicole suddenly felt her nose sore.
"Mom, you're just too tired. The doctor says you'll be fine.”
"You don't have to comfort me, Nicole. I know my own body. I don't know how long I could live, but now
you have to remember what I'm saying.”
"Well.
"Destroy my healthy report, and if Samuel asks, tell him there's nothing wrong with me, except that I'm
too tired. You don't have to treat for me. At my age, it's not necessary to treat the disease. The Green
Family is so shaky right now. There's a lot more going on than Samuel could have done alone. You're
the daughter-in-law of the Green Family, so whatever you were in the old days, I want to justify your
identity in the Seapolis City. You are the mistress of the Green Family.”
Laurel's words surprised and puzzled Nicole.
“Mom, what do you mean?”
"Im going to arrange another wedding for you and Samuel!"
Laurel's words took Nicole aback.
“Another wedding? No, it doesn't have to. I don't care about anybody else as long as you admit me.”
“But some people do, my dear. Mother knows that you have nothing to covet for the Green Family, but
you must promise me this, just as mother tells you!”
Mrs. Green held Nicole's hand so tightly that she frowned a little and suddenly realized that maybe the
wedding could mean something else.
