Chapter 973 It Was Brutal


    When Parker heard that Samuel was asking about Nicole, he frowned.


    "Who is she to you?"


    As soon as Parker finished, Samuel pped him in the face.


    Parker was dumbfounded.


    While Samuel was asking about Nicole''s whereabouts, a person quietly came to the ce where


    Nicole was being held.


    Atst, Nicole heard someone arrive.


    "What the hell do you want? If you want to kill me, just do it!"


    Nicole was hungry and thirsty, and her voice was hoarse now.


    The person didn''t say anything and whipped Nicole.


    Nicole groaned in pain.


    It hurt like hell!


    Her clothes were torn apart, and blood sshed in the air.


    Nicole''s entire body twitched.


    Because she was blindfolded, she could not see the person in front of her. The person did not speak,


    which suggested that it might have a grudge against her, right?


    But who was it?


    "Who are you?"


    Nicole tensed up and asked. The whipnded on her body again.


    This whip was much harder than the previous one.


    Nicole was about to cry, but she knew she couldn''t.


    This person wanted to see her cry.


    She wouldn''t give it what it wanted.


    Nicole had a sensitive nose, and she smelled perfume. It seemed like it was a woman.


    This perfume smelled familiar.


    Nicole''s heart skipped a beat.


    "Melissa?"


    When she said the name, the third whip hadnded on Nicole''s body.


    Nicole nearly fainted.


    This whip was barbed, which indicated that she hated her guts.


    Nicole was choked with her blood, and she felt the burning pain.


    "Melissa! You''re Melissa!"


    Nicole was very familiar with Melissa''s perfume. Melissa was the only one who hated her so much and


    wished to kill her.


    When Melissa heard Nicole say her name, she raised her whip to give Nicole another whip. Footsteps


    suddenly came from afar.


    "Miss Melissa, someone ising. We have to go now."


    Melissa red at Nicole and said coldly, "I want to kill her!"


    "It''s Samuel! Miss Melissa, if we don''t leave now, we won''t be able to leave at all!"


    That person dragged Melissa away.


    Nicole felt intense pain all over her body, and she involuntarily twitched.


    Melissa had whipped her three times, and she would make that woman pay sooner orter.


    The footsteps hade very close.


    "Mrs. Green must be here."


    Hearing Ernesto''s voice, Nicole finally passed out.


    Samuel kicked open the door.

    When he saw Nicole covered in blood, he was going crazy.


    "Nicole!"


    He took a step forward and untied Nicole''s hands and feet.


    Nicole fell into his arms like a rag doll.


    The strong smell of blood made Samuel panic.


    He quickly but carefully carried Nicole in his arms and ran outside.


    "Go to the hospital!"


    Ernesto was shocked by what he was looking at.


    Zayn, who had got the news, also rushed over. He felt a twinge in his heart when he saw Nicole.


    "Nicole, she..."


    "Move out of the way!"


    Samuel''s eyes were scarlet red, as if he was a furious beast.


    Pedro felt it was unfair for Zayn. He wanted to say something, but Zayn stopped him.


    Samuel''s car was in front, and Zayn''s car followed behind. They were going to the hospital.


    When Nicole was taken into the emergency room, Samuel insisted on going in. The doctor couldn''t talk


    him down, so he told him to put on the sterile clothes.


    When Samuel went inside, the doctor was about to cut open Nicole''s clothes. The blood made the


    clothes stuck to her body. As soon as the doctor touched the clothes, Nicole twitched in pain. Although


    she was unconscious, she was still sensitive to pain.


    Seeing this, Samuel wished he could kill whoever did that to her.


    "Be gentle!"


    Samuel''s grave face was frightening. The doctors and nurses felt that the air was already frozen. Cold


    sweat was dripping down their spines, and they didn''t dare to move along.


    Ashley heard that Nicole needed surgery, so she rushed over immediately. When she saw Samuel in


    the operating room, she frowned. But she didn''t say anything and reced the doctor.


    "I''ll do it."


    Knowing that Ashley was leading the surgery, Samuel was relieved a little bit. But his eyes never left


    Nicole.


    All the three whips had got to her flesh and made her bleed, and thest whip nearly reached her bone.


    Samuel clenched his teeth.


    He swore he would cut that person into pieces!


    Ashley narrowed her eyes as well. She cut open Nicole''s clothes and began the disinfection and


    stitching.


    The nurse hurriedly used the paper towel to wipe Ashley''s sweat.


    The surgerysted for more than three hours. The fibers inside were slowly extracted by Ashley.


    Samuel''s back was soaked in sweat.


    Although he was not the one lying on the surgery table, he felt so painful during the operation. He was


    heartbroken.


    Nicole was taken to the intensive care unit.


    "Watch her closely tonight. Don''t let her have a fever."


    Ashley knew there were no words to make Samuel feel better at the moment. She gave him some


    instructions and left.


    Samuel looked at Nicole''s pale face and med himself for being careless.


    He said to Ernesto outside, "Collect evidence of Parker''s crimes. I want him in jail. Put some people in


    there with him. Don''t let him die right away. I want him to be tortured slowly and miserably."


    "I''m on it!"


    Ernesto knew how much Samuel loved Nicole. When he saw Nicole had been injured, he was


    outraged, too.


    Parker didn''t know what kind of trouble he was in, nor did he know that Nicole''s husband was Samuel.


    He was trying to avenge Tami, but he didn''t know he would be in so much trouble.


    Zayn wanted to check on Nicole, but there was a visiting restriction in the intensive care unit. Samuel


    hadn''te out, so he could not go in.


    There were people walking around, so he couldn''t stay there. He could only leave with Pedro.


    When Olivia heard what had happened to Nicole, she immediately rushed over. When she saw Nicole


    lying on the hospital bed like a rag doll, she med herself.


    "Sorry, it''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have taken her to the alley."


    "It''s not your fault. They didn''t take Nicole randomly. It was premeditated. Even if you didn''t take the


    alley, they would have another way to get to Nicole. If there is someone to be med, it should be me.


    I failed to protect her."


    Samuel''s voice was hoarse.


    Olivia could tell from the look in Samuel''s eyes that he was deeply in love with Nicole. She hesitated for


    a moment and asked, "Who did this?"


    "Tami''s lover."


    "Who''s Tami?"


    "The woman who made Nicole misunderstand me in the past."


    Hearing Samuel''s words, Olivia was silent for a few seconds. Then, she whispered, "What''s it with this


    Tami? At first, Nicole thought that you cheated on her with Tami, but then she said that she didn''t


    believe you would cheat on her. However, there must be a secret between this woman and you, and


    this secret must have something to do with Nicole. Samuel, I don''t know why you''ve been hiding it from


    Nicole. Maybe you think you''re doing the best for her, but are you? If you had told Nicole the truth from


    the start, Nicole would have been on guard and this could have been avoided, right? Of course, I''m


    only saying if."


    Samuel was silent.


    What Olivia said was like a sharp dagger stabbing into his chest.


    Was it a mistake to keep it from Nicole?


    Seeing that Samuel was pondering, Olivia did not say anything else. She didn''t want to go too far to


    irritate Samuel.


    "I have to go and notify the crew. With Nicole''s current condition, she won''t be able to y the zither. I


    have to tell them."


    "I''ve already hired a professional zither yer for you. Your album will not be dyed, and the crew will


    not stop working. Nicole wants to make you famous. Also, you have signed a contract with Michael.


    Everything has to proceed as nned."


    Olivia was surprised.


    Samuel knew everything that Nicole had done, which suggested that his feelings for her had never


    changed.


    But what kind of secret was it that he couldn''t tell Nicole?


    Olivia was curious, but she knew that curiosity killed the cat. She nodded and left the ward.


    Ashley walked out of the hospital, Nicole''s injury reying in her head.


    Whoever did that to her was brutal.


    Nicole was her friend. In no way would she let the perpetrator get away with it.


    Ashley thought for a moment and called Steven.


    "I need a favor."


    This was the first time that Ashley had asked Steven for help. Steven was surprised.


    "Huh?"


    "Let''s talk at home. I''ll be back in half an hour."


    "Okay."


    Ashley hung up the phone. With a sigh, she drove home.


    After everyone left, Samuel tightly held Nicole''s hand.


    Ernesto knocked on the door and whispered, "Mr. Green, there is a new situation."


    Samuel nced at Nicole before he stood up and walked out.


    "Speak."


    "It wasn''t Parker''s men who had whipped Mrs. Green."


    "Come again?"


    Samuel narrowed his eyes.


    Ernesto hurriedly said, "Parker did kidnap Mrs. Green, but their n was to starve her for three days


    and strip her off to take some photos. They wanted to ruin her reputation before killing her."


    Samuel''s face turned sullen.


    What a vicious n!


    Samuel''s eyes were as cold as ice, and he said word by word, "Then make him know how it would


    feel."


    "Got it!"


    Ernesto knew that Samuel would not let Parker off, but he continued, "The surveince cameras


    around have been damaged. But I''ve had them repaired. The one who whipped Mrs. Green is Melissa."


    "Who?"


    Samuel was shocked.


    Ernesto said respectfully, "Melissa. She''s Major''s woman. She was able to get out of prison because


    Major has helped her. In addition, her parents have bribed some higher-ups."


    Samuel narrowed his eyes.


    Mr. and Mrs. Bush?


    They were Nicole''s adopted parents, and they seemed to love her in the past. But now, they were cruel


    to her because of their biological daughter?


    Melissa was so bold!


    Did she really think she could do anything she wanted just because Major had her back?
