Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

When Nicole saw Lucas' eyes blinking, Nicole knew that he must be suspicious.

"Lucas, can I talk to you alone?"

Nicole asked.

Rather than letting him have a wild guess, it was better for her to explain to him now. Then he wouldn't worry about them and get distracted from recovering from his leg injury.

"Alright."

Lucas took his phone and went outside with the help of the nurse.

"Mommy, did something happen to Samuel?"

Lucas went straight to the point.

Nicole nodded and said, "Your daddy had an accident and is still unconscious. However, the doctor has found a solution. Don't worry. We can go back soon."

"Is it bad?"

Lucas knitted his brows hard.

"Fortunately, it's not bad, but it's not positive. Lucas, don't tell your sister and Joseph. They're not so strong..."

"I know. Did you call today to ask me to take good care of them?"

Lucas’ words made Nicole a bit sad.

How fortunate she was to have such a son.

"No, I have something to discuss with you."

"Mommy, tell me."

Nicole told Lucas about Zama's illness and requirements, but she didn't mention that Zama threatened her with Samuel.

Nicole didn't want to leave more dark sides in his mind. They were the fact, though. If she could play down their seriousness, Nicole hoped that Lucas wouldn't remember them.

Lucas pondered for a while and asked, "Can that Zama cure Samuel?"

"Yes."

"I'll go!"

Lucas' words put Nicole at a loss.

"Lucas, you don't need to come over. I'll give you a video call later. It's enough to see her on the phone. As for Zoe, I don't want her to see it. You know Zoe is very innocent. I'm afraid..."

"I know, Mommy, I want to go there myself. I'm worried about Samuel. I can promise you that I won't tell Zoe and Joseph, but I want to see Samuel."

Lucas sounded like begging.

Nicole refused him with determination.

"No way! This is too risky. She's a dangerous person. You know that. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your daddy?"

"But Mommy, if you don't agree, I will go secretly."

"Lucas, you have the guts, do you?"

Immediately, Nicole had her heart in her mouth.

"So, Mommy, let me go there. Then you can rest assured, right?"

Lucas began to pitch it to her in a gentle way.

Feeling helpless, Nicole looked at him and said, "You want to anger me, don't you?"

"How can that be? I pray every day that your beauty and youth will last forever."

Nicole laughed out loud.

"Stay young forever? Then I will be an old monster."
