Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

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."
