Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 285: I Believe You

It was just a few days later since she hadn't met Zoe, but Zoe had lost much weight. Her eyes were

sunken, and her lips

were even bloodless.

Tears welled up Nicole's eyes.

“Zoe...”

She gently called her and dared not raise her voice, as if afraid of waking her up.

Laurel saw Nicole coming in. She stood up and patted her on the shoulder, and then went out with

Joseph without saying

anything.

Words were powerless at that moment, and no mother could hear anything of comfort.

Nicole came to Zoe's bed and took her hand in hers.

Zoe's hands were cold, and even her breath was faint. If she didn't listen to it carefully, she might think

that Zoe had gone.

The feeling that she could lose her daughter anytime made Nicole's heart tightened and now, even as

she had said that she

could not trade her love for saving Zoe, she didn't care to lose everything as long as she could save

Zoe.

Zoe was her child. From the day she was born, Zoe hadn't seen what the world outside looked like.

How could she let Zoe

leave so young?

Nicole kept reminding the past five years of her life. Zoe, who was so naive, lively and sensible, was

not energetic now. She,

as a mother, could do nothing. Now the only person who could save Zoe was standing in front of her.

She had no choice now.

Nicole gently stroked Zoe's dry and yellow hair which looked particularly malnourished.

Thinking of a small child to suffer so much, Nicole fell down her hairs.

Perhaps sensing Nicole's arrival, Zoe woke up.

She looked at Nicole's tearful face and spoke weakly, “Mom...”

Nicole dried her eyes and gave her daughter her best smile.

“Honey, do you feel hurt?”

Zoe shook her head, looked at Nicole and asked in a low voice, “Is daddy here?”

Nicole’s heart tightened and she said with a smile, “Daddy's got something to do and hasn't come back,

but daddy cares

about you. You are going to be fine.”

“Mommy, are you worried about me? I seem to see my brother. He said he would bring mommy home.

I don't know if I was

dreaming. I miss my brother.”

At Zoe's words, Nicole cried all the more.

“Lucas will be back in a minute. You are the strongest child and you will be fine.”

“Mommy, I’m cold. Can you hold me?”

Zoe's eyes sparkled with supplication.

Without another word, Nicole went straight to bed and took Zoe in her arms.

She was skinny and curled up like a cat in Nicole's arms.

Nicole felt her nose sour and her tears kept falling.

Zoe leaned into Nicole's arms and said weakly, “I really like to go to the playground. I want to go to

kindergarten, too. Joseph told me that many children in kindergarten play with him, and there are many

funny things to do. Mommy, do you think I can

go to the kindergarten?”

“Yes! As long as you finish the operation, you can go anywhere. I will take you to the playground, to eat

delicious food, and I

will accompany you to wherever you want to go, OK?”

“And brother and daddy, and Joseph...” Zoe said in a longing way.

To other children, such a simple wish was not a wish at all, but to Zoe, it was an extravagant hope. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She looked out at the sunshine and whispered, “It’s such a nice day today. I wonder if the amusement

park will be crowded...”

“Yes, I will take you to the amusement park!”

Nicole kept reassuring Zoe, but Zoe didn't spoke to Nicole again.

“Zoe, Zoe...”

Nicole gently called Zoe’s name, only to find her unconscious again. And now her breath was weaker.

“Zoe!”

Nicole called her in a gut-wrenching way, and then she thought of something. Nicole quickly put Zoe to

bed and turned back to look at Soseph. “I'll promise you anything. Save my daughter, but I need you to

donate your kidney right now, okay?”

She felt that her heart was like bleeding.

She didn't want to give up her love to save her daughter, but in the face of Zoe, everything became so

insignificant.

It was not that she did not love Samuel, nor did it mean that she did not want to be with Samuel, but if

let her sacrifice her

daughter's life to keep her love, she couldn't do it!

Whether it was Samuel or Zoe, she felt the same pain and didn’t want to give up, but she knew that

Samuel would understand her.

He would understand her, wouldn't he?

Nicole could only comfort herself, to hypnotize herself, but the pain in her heart seemed to be salted.

The more she thought of it, the painful she would feel, and yet she could not fall down, and could not

allow herself to be sad, because Zoe was still waiting for her!

Soseph saw the glow in Nicole's eyes and was shocked.

She didn't know who her parents were or what it was like to be loved, but Nicole touched her at this

moment.

Would her life have been different had she had such a mother?

Even if life was poor, bitter and tired, it didn’t matter, as long as there was someone who would care

about her.

Soseph looked over her shoulder, wiped her tears and whispered, “Yes. I'll sign the donation contract

right away.”

“I'll have our conditions written down, too. I'll sign it. I...”

“No, I trust you. A woman who can do so for her child must be worthy to be trusted!”

Soseph interrupted Nicole, then turned and walked out of the room.

Nicole quickly followed her and asked Laurel to take care of Zoe. At the same time, she asked the

doctor to prepare for the

operation.

Laurel was dazed.

“Isn't Samuel coming back to donate his kidney?”

“Samuel can't be back right now,’ Nicole said, biting her lips. “He's injured and is in a coma in the

hospital.”

“What?”

Laurel almost lost her footing, but Nicole picked her up.

“I'm sorry, mom, I...”

“Well, is there a way to save Zoe now?”

Laurel, after all, had been through any difficulties. Although she felt distressed about Samuel and

worried about him, she knew that Nicole needed her support at this moment, so she could only

suppress her grief.

“The girl behind me just now could donate her kidney to Zoe,’ Nicole said in a low voice. “We'll sign the

contract and start arranging the surgery.”

“How old is the child?”

Laurel looked down at Soseph, feeling confused.

Nicole didn't know what to say, but at last she responded, “Eighteen.”

“Have her parents approved it? She is still a child. If she donates her kidney, it may have a great

change to her life. Is she short of money? Or...”

“Mom, I've already handled this matter. Don’t worry about it. All I care about now is Zoe. She can't wait

any longer. Besides,

Soseph is an orphan.”

Nicole knew it was not good to say so, but she was just a mother.

Laurel seemed to understand Nicole and sighed, “Can I go to have a talk to that kid for a minute?”

Nicole nodded.

Laurel arrived at Soseph.

“Are you Soseph?”

To Laurel's arrival, Soseph was surprised, and she nodded.

“Yes, you are...?”

“I'm Zoe's grandma. I heard that you volunteered to donate your kidney to save my granddaughter. The

Green family is grateful to you. Whether you need money or anything, the Green family will take care of

you as if you are our child. I heard you are an orphan. From now on, you are part of the Green family. If

you don't mind, I'll adopt you and treat you like the daughter of the Green family.”

Soseph was taken aback by what Laurel said for a moment.

The daughter of the Green family?

It was a nice identity, but...

She looked at Nicole not far away and whispered, “Don't worry about this. I made a deal with Nicole

and I have made up my

mind to do this. Thank you.”

“Il mean that. If you save my granddaughter, I would treat you like you are my own daughter. Whether

you want to continue

your studies or start your own business, the Green family will support you.”

Laurel thought she didn't make that clear, so she said it again.

Soseph was tempted, but she remembered Samuel's affection for Nicole. That feeling and that look

made her reluctant to give up Samuel.

“Well, Laurel, I'm going to sign the contract, or it will delay your granddaughter's operation.”

With that, Soseph nodded to Laurel and turned to leave.

Nicole followed, whispering, “Mom, I'm going to arrange for some procedures.”

“Go ahead. I will take care of Zoe.”

Nicole turned away, but she was sad and upset.

Joseph was already in the ward, and Laurel could not stay out too long, so she went back quickly.

As Soseph had done the examination in advance, after she signed a donation contract for the

operation, the doctor began to schedule the operation.

To prevent any accident, Nicole found her own doctor she had brought back from the United States to

have the operation.

The hospital was divided on this point, but Jason arrived just in time.

The power of the Don family forced the dean to compromise, and Tim also took some hard measures.

People in the hospital were suddenly anxious, and they didn't know who Mr. Tim was looking for and

what he was going to do.
