Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 309 I Am not Blaming You

Samuel frowned slightly, and looked at the phone. It was Jason.

He glanced at Zoe before answering the phone.

"Samuel, you'd better come here. There's something wrong with Zama."

Jason's voice wasn't loud, but Samuel frowned again.

"I'll be right there."

He had planned to go over tomorrow, but he didn't expect that Zama made some trouble again.

Zoe asked pitifully, "Daddy, are you leaving? Can't you stay with me now I’m sick?"

Samuel felt so guilty.

He really wanted to stay with Zoe, but unfortunately, there were always things that spoiled their time

together.

"When Daddy settles all these things and you are stronger, Daddy will take you and Lucas out to play,

okay?"

"Really? Don't lie to me! You will become a puppy if you lie to me!"

Zoe hurriedly extended her pinky towards Samuel.

"Alright. If I lie to you, I am a puppy."

Samuel twisted his pinky with Zoe's and they pressed their thumbs.

Zoe was much happier now. She took out the game console left behind by Lucas and said, "Look,

Lucas gave it to me. Daddy, I also want a present from you."

"Alright, what do you want?"

"I need to think about it. I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zoe tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

Seeing Zoe's appearance, Samuel suddenly felt that he would like to give her all the best things in the

world.

"OK, it's up to my baby. No matter what you want, daddy will make your dream come true."

"Daddy is the best."

Zoe played in Samuel's embrace for a while before Nicole came in.

Nicole immediately saw that Samuel and Zoe were playing together. She laughed and said, "What are

you two doing?"

"Mommy, Daddy said he would give me a present later!"

"Naughty girl. All you know is to ask for presents."

Nicole poked Zoe's forehead.

Zoe stuck out her tongue and laughed mischievously.

Seeing that Zoe's mood was improved, Nicole also felt happy.

Samuel looked at them and hesitated about whether he should tell Nicole that thing.

"What's up?" asked Nicole.

Nicole noticed that something was wrong with Samuel.

Samuel said in a low voice, "Jason called me just now. He said that something happened to Zama, and

he asked me to go over to take a look."

Nicole was dumbfounded. She did not expect such a thing to happen. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shall I come with you?"

She subconsciously asked.

Samuel nodded.

They called the special nurse to take good care of Zoe before they went to the Don's.

When they arrived at the Don's, Nicole was somewhat nervous. Especially when she saw Audrey, she

didn't know what to do.

Audrey was excited when she saw Nicole, but she was still able to restrain herself.

"Hi."

Audrey's voice quivered with excitement.

"Hi."

Nicole suddenly didn't know what to say.

Should she call her Auntie Shaw or Mum?

She had never thought that she would have another identity.

When they were in the United States, they got along so well. However, after she knew Audrey was her

biological mother, she felt embarrassed when she stayed with Audrey.

Seeing this, Samuel whispered, "Chat with Minister Shaw for a while. I'll go in and take a look."

"Alright."

Nicole did not want to see Zama anyway.

Jason came out and greeted them. Then, he took Samuel to the dungeon. His wasn't in a good mood.

Nicole stood there stiffly.

Audrey looked at her daughter, who was very close to her. She wanted to say something, but she didn't

know where to start.

She hadn't seen her for more than twenty years. Now her daughter was right in front of her, and she

had so much to tell Nicole, but she was too nervous to say anything.

Nicole gave a gentle cough and asked, "Where is Mrs. Don?"

"She is resting in the room. She has had poor health recently. She just fell asleep. Wait a while. When

she wakes up, you can go to see her."

"OK."

Nicole fell silent again.

Audrey noticed that Nicole was awkward. She said softly, "Sit here. Now that you are at home, feel at

ease."

"Alright."

Nicole nodded and sat down on the sofa.

This was not the first time that she had been here, but the feeling this time was quite different.

Audrey took the initiative to brew tea for Nicole. Halfway through, she seemed to have thought of

something and poured the tea into the sink.

"You're not feeling well, so you'd better not drink tea. I'll go get some water for you."

Audrey, who had worked in the Foreign Ministry for several years, was actually as excited as a child

now.

Nicole couldn't stand the situation and stopped her.

"You don't need to do so. Water is good enough for me. With your hospitality, I don't know how to get

along with you."

Audrey paused, and she was somewhat at a loss.

Nicole sighed.

"I am not blaming you. I just want you to sit down. Let's have a chat."

Audrey finally burst into tears.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault more than 20 years ago. If you blame me or hate me, I have nothing to say,

but I really am..."

"Well, let bygones be bygones. If it weren't for you in the U.S., I would have suffered a lot. Destiny led

us to meet each other, and it also determines that I am your daughter. We can't do anything to destiny.

We can only accept it. I am surprised to know you are my mother, but I have never regarded you as a

bad mother. Besides, my life wasn't as bad as you think in the past twenty years. I'm fine, really."

Nicole suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards Audrey.

She only loved one man in her life, but they couldn't stay together.

The saddest thing in one's life probably was this.

If time could take away the pain, and Audrey could forget everything, it might be good. Unfortunately,

Audrey had never forgotten Xander.

Perhaps what one lost would always be the best. This also reminded Nicole of cherishing her days with

Samuel.

She did not want that one day she would regret not making efforts to stay with Samuel.

Hearing that Nicole did not blame her, Audrey's tears rolled down her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't discipline Viola properly. You..."

"It's not your fault, and she's not that bad. She just wanted me to leave, and she didn't expect the rest

to happen."

Nicole didn't know whether she should forgive Viola or not.

Viola's desire for Samuel really disgusted her, but Viola was her half-sister. Nicole didn't know how she

should treat her.

Although Viola was born in a rich family, she was actually unfortunate. Only her father doted on her,

and Audrey did not care about her so much.

Audrey didn't know what to say for a moment. Then she suddenly stood up and said, "Wait, I have

something for you."

With that, she quickly ran into the room.

Looking at the familiar living room and the familiar Don's, Nicole suddenly felt like she was at home.

The word "home" was really amazing. Only when one had special feelings for a house because of the

people and things inside it could a house be called "home".

She looked around, and felt it was like magic that she was actually a member of this family.

Audrey came out with a lot of things in her hand, including a premises permit, a bankbook, and some

company shares.

Nicole was surprised.

"What are you going to do?"

Audrey stuffed everything into Nicole's hands and whispered, "They are all yours. I've been saving

money and investing for you all these years. I was afraid that you would lead an unease life. I was

afraid that you would suffer. Every year on your birthday, I saved you a sum of money. I have been

doing this for more than twenty years. Now they are all yours. Take them. Please don't refuse. They are

tokens of my love."

Nicole also had children, so she naturally knew how much a mother missed her child.

Back then, Audrey swapped her and her foster parents' baby over, because Audrey wanted to protect

her. But it was also a great torture for a mother to be far away from her own child.

As a mother, Nicole understood that kind of regret and longing.

She did not refuse and took the bankbook.

The figures on the bankbook amazed Nicole.

To be able to save such a sum of money in the past twenty years or so, Audrey must have lived a

frugal life. She might even have treated herself badly.

"Why have you been doing so?"

"I owe you this. I know that you are married to Samuel now. You don't need this much money. You can

give it to Lucas or Zoe, or you can dispose it yourself. Only when you accept it can I feel better."

"OK."

Nicole did not refuse.

However, Nicole did not accept the premises permit.

"I don't need the house. You should keep it or give it to Viola."

"No. It is yours. I bought it for you. Viola has her father. She doesn't need this."

Nicole suddenly took pity on Viola.

"In fact, Viola also needs your love. Since you gave birth to her, you should shoulder your responsibility

as a mother. Don't you know how much she yearns for your love?"

Nicole originally didn't want to speak for Viola, but she couldn't help but say it.

Audrey was shocked and somewhat embarrassed.

"I was not willing to give birth to her."

"But you finally gave birth to her. As a mother, you left me twenty years ago. Viola also hasn't enjoyed

your love. Actually, you could have had a cute daughter. Viola's current state is not entirely the result of

her father's doting. A child who grows up in a single parent family is actually even more pitiful than me."

Audrey was shocked by Nicole's words.

"Don't you blame her?"

"I do. After all, because of her, I nearly died. However, that is another thing. To be honest, Viola is much

more pitiful than me."

Nicole looked at Audrey and held her arm to let her sit on the sofa.

Then a loud noise suddenly came from the room, attracting their attention.
