Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 253: Won the World, Lost Her

“Can I go talk to him for a second?”

Allen said calmly, not having much hope. However, the people from the Procuratorate still nodded and

let him go.

Samuel watched Allen walking towards him, his face was expressionless.

“Let my grandmother go. It has nothing to do with her."

His voice wasn't loud, but he knew that Samuel could hear it.

Samuel looked at him and sneered, "It has nothing to do with your grandmother? Does what happened

between us have anything to do with Nicole? With my daughter Zoe? Have you ever thought of letting

them go when you did those things?”

"Samuel, you've already won. The Brooks destruction has fall on my head. What else do you want?"

Allen was a little angry.

If he had known that Samuel was so reckless, perhaps he would have thought twice before making any

move, or at least he wouldn't have lost so miserably.

But Samuel sneered, "Do you think I won? Even if you gift the whole world to me, can you bring back

Nicole? As long as you can bring her back in front of me now, not to mention you, I can even let go of

the Brooks.”

There was a trace of grief in his voice.

Allen suddenly didn't know what to say.

If there were a second chance, perhaps he would let go and let Nicole pursue her own happiness. He

just wanted to see her alive, leading a happy life. It would be much better.

“I apologize.”

However, his apology wasn't accepted.

"Go repent in the prison.”

Allen knew that Samuel was really angry this time. The Brooks was doomed, while Rachel ...

He sighed and left.

Seeing the Procuratorate’s car take Allen away, Samuel's eyes darkened. Nobody could figure out what

he was thinking.

Jacob didn't dare to disturb Samuel, so he just waited quietly.

Samuel suddenly felt that life was meaningless again.

He had wiped out the Brooks, dealt with Allen, and even threw Charlotte into the sea. However, doing

these things didn't make him feel less empty deep down.

He was thinking of Nicole like crazy.

Her smile, her move. He even started to have the hallucination that she was right around him, as if he

could see her as long as he turned around.

However, when he turned around, he only saw an empty backseat. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Jacob saw all his loneliness, but didn’t know how to comfort him.

"Let's go back."

Samuel returned to the hospital.

The doctor had been well aware of his condition and there was no need to say anything. When he

came back, the doctor could directly start his treatment; and when he left, the doctor wouldn't bother

looking for him, because he knew it was to no avail.

By the time Mike saw Samuel, he had been fully aware of what the latter had done to Allen these days.

He was glad that Samuel didn't make things difficult for Viola, but he didn't dare to mention it.

Seeing him so hesitant, Samuel whispered, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let me see her again, or I can't

tell what I would do.”

This was Samuel final bottom line.

Mike nodded and swore to himself that even if he had to imprison Viola for the rest of her life, he would

do it just to keep her away from Samuel.

Samuel was a little tired and sent everyone away, including Jacob.

The ward was empty, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.

Sitting on the bed while wrapped in a blanket, Samuel was looking at the sunshine outside. But he

could no longer feel any warmth.

Where exactly was his Nicole?

Did she manage to survive, as she did five years ago?

The more Samuel thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still.

So finally, he got up and drove to the beach.

There was a woman, standing in breeze alone, who looked so distressed and lonely.

It was Audrey.

Samuel didn't say anything. He just stood side by side with her and looked at the boundless sea. He

really had an impulse to jump into the water and end his life, following Nicole.

Seeing him, Audrey didn’t know how to say, either.

They just stood there in silence, enduring the erosion of the wind. Gradually, their limbs turned cold,

and so did their hearts.

But after all, Samuel still had some attachment.

He still had Zoe.

Zoe was waiting for his kidney. How could Nicole rest in peace if he failed Zoe?

Samuel turned around and was about to leave, when Audrey finally spoke up.

“When will you go back?"

Samuel paused and whispered, "I don't know, Maybe tomorrow; or a few days later.”

“I'll go back with you.”

Samuel was slightly stunned at Audrey's words.

“What do you mean?”

“Nicole was the daughter of me and Xander. She had no identity when alive, so now I have to give her

the identity. She deserved it.”

Audrey's voice was so hoarse that it was beyond recognition.

However, Samuel only replied, "You didn’t cherish her when she was alive. What's the use of making

this gesture now?"

“No matter what, she had been to this world. I have given birth to her, so I have to give her an identity,

too. Whether she is alive or dead, she is still always a member of the Dons.”

"Save it. Nicole didn’t know her family background even when she died. She had lived with you for so

long and didn’t even know that you are her mother!"

Samuel was not blaming Audrey.

Not everyone was the master of his/her own life.

Right now, Audrey's identity was so sensitive that there couldn't be any bad news about her. Although

the gossip about her and Dominic had spread like wildfire, because Dominic was an American and

Audrey was the Foreign Minister, this kind of ambiguous relationship could make her work easier most

of the times. Therefore, the higher-ups chose to turn a blind eye.

But now, she wanted to go back and reveal her affair with Xander. That had everything to do with her

own future, like whether she could remain in office.

Samuel looked at her. He had always thought that this woman was cold and indifferent, that she didn’t

have much enthusiasm for anyone, but he didn't expect that she could do this for Nicole.

When Audrey saw Samuel's gaze, she smiled bitterly, “Do you think I'm heartless?"

"Everyone has her choices. You have to think it through. If you go back this time, you will most likely

make a mistake in principle. I'm afraid your political career will be over.”

“I have already submitted my resignation letter and have also explained my issue to the government.

I’m ready for whatever punishment."

Audrey said it plainly, but Samuel was quite shocked.

It would take only a few years before she retired. At that time, the rest of her life would be the envy for

most people. As long as she did not reveal her relationship with Xander, that Nicole was her daughter,

everything would be perfect.

However, she decided to be honest at this moment. It seemed that she really cared about Nicole.

Samuel was somewhat gratified.

Regardless of whether Nicole knew it or not, at this moment, her life proved to be not worthless.

Samuel sighed, "I'll go tomorrow morning.”

"Thank you. Please reserve a seat for me.”

Samuel found himself unable to refuse her.

He had settled the scores here, and there was no reason for him to stay.

There was still no news about Nicole. After so many days, even if he jumped into the sea himself, it

was impossible to retrieve her.

Samuel was looking forward to the day when Nicole would come back. Just like after the fire last time,

he held a sliver of hope that as long as he didn't see her corpse, he would not admit that she was gone.

And he still had Zoe.

Their daughter.

Laurel sent a message not long ago that Zoe had fainted again. The doctor said after the examination

that her condition could not be delayed.

Fortunately, the treatment had seen some effect during this time, so she should be able to withstand

the surgery.

Samuel had to rush back for Zoe's surgery.

He was reluctant to leave, and even wanted to stay here to accompany Nicole. Even if he couldn't see

her, he still wanted to build a house nearby, every day, just to guard this place.

He was afraid that what if Nicole couldn't find him after he left?

But now his daughter needed him, so he had to go back.

Samuel looked at Audrey's heart-wrenched look and whispered, “Let's go together. I'll send you back.’

"I want to stay here with Nicole a little longer. I'll leave here tomorrow. Maybe I won't be able to come

back to the United States for the rest of my life. After the punishment is announced, it is very likely that

I will not be able to leave the country again. Just let me stay with her for a little longer. Twenty years

have passed, I've spent too little time with her, and before I could even recognize her, we separated

just like that. I want to accompany her before I leave.”

Seeing Audrey like this, Samuel did not say anything. What was the use of blaming now?

He didn't force Audrey and left the beach by himself.

When he returned to the hospital, Jacob had already packed everything up.

He could feel Samuel's frosty air, so h hurriedly took out his coat and covered it on Samuel's shoulders.

Samuel whispered, "One more ticket for tomorrow.’

“You found her?”

Jacob was surprised.

Samuel looked at him and shook his head, "Minister Shaw will come back with us."

A trace of disappointment flashed through Jacob's eyes.

“Oh!”

They didn't say anything else.

Night fell, but Samuel could not sleep.

He missed Nicole even more than he did five years ago. The bed seemed to be especially empty, and

he felt cold lying on it.

He couldn't help but recalled sleeping with Nicole.

The woman always liked to put her long legs on his waist in the middle of the night, her hands holding

him like an octopus, and her whole body warm.

With her around, he didn't feel cold or empty, but where was she now?

Samuel had no idea and got up. He dressed up and went to the beach again, only to find that Audrey

was still standing there.

“Minister Shaw, you'll catch a cold like this.”

Samuel didn't want to speak, but he had to, because she was Nicole's mother after all.

Audrey's body was almost frozen stiff, but she still stared motionlessly at the sea and whispered,

"Where do you think Nicole can go? In this vast ocean, apart from this sole beach, the other lands were

all very far away. She was just a girl, and in a coma. Where could she go? Do you think it’s possible

that someone saved her? Let's check on it if there were any ships passing by at that time. Can we find

a clue?"

Samuel's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Why didn't he think of this?
