Chapter 1092 She''s Improved
"Nicole, are you hiding something from me?"
Seeing Nicole''s hesitant expression, Edwin had a bad feeling.
"Is Sally...?"
"No, Auntie is doing well. She just can''te back to see you for now. She wille back someday.
She asked me to return this pocket watch to you. She said that she missed you very much."
Nicole didn''t have the heart to watch Edwin feel sad.
Edwin was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
"Does she know I''m her father?"
"Yes. She seems to know everything."
Nicole only figured it out just now.
Zayn told her that before his mother died, she asked him to find his sister and misled Zayn to believe
that Nicole was his sister. Why would Sally do this?
At the time, Zayn was a child, and so was she. She didn''t have any value back then. No one knew her
true identity, but Sally had told Zayn. What was she up to?
Was Sally worried that Mr. and Mrs. Bush might be treating her badly and hurt her when her identity
was discovered? Was that why Sally asked Zayn to find her and protect her?
Nicole felt that it might be too good to be true. But that was the only possibility she could think of.
From the moment she came into contact with Sally, Nicole realized that Sally knew everything about
her. She had been watching her closely. Nicole wondered when Sally found out about her birth origin.
Did she knew it from the moment she was reced?
Or when?
Nicole was a little confused.
She wouldn''t get answers to these questions before she met Sally again in person.
Now, Edwin was overjoyed that he had found his missing daughter.
Nicole didn''t want to interrupt his joy, so she said, "Edwin, I''m going out to get some air."
"Okay."
Edwin held the pocket watch, thinking about his eldest daughter and wife withplicated emotions.
Nicole turned around and left the study.
She had just opened the door when she saw Vi standing outside eavesdropping.
Vi did not feel awkward after being caught. She even asked, "Auntie? Mom actually has a twin
sister?"
"Didn''t your father ever tell you not to eavesdrop?"
Nicole frowned.
She chose to talk in the study because she didn''t want Vi to know. She didn''t expect that Vi
would be so shameless to follow over.
Vi sneered, "If you''re plotting against me, I have to find out about your n. Otherwise, I will be
dead soon."
"If I really want to kill you, do you think you can still be alive?"
Nicole looked at her like an idiot before walking past her.
Vi was irritated.
"Nicole, what''s that supposed to mean? You and I are both Audrey''s daughters. Why do you think you
are superior? What makes you think you have the right to treat me like this?"
She grabbed Nicole''s arm and red at her.
Nicole was amused by Vi''s rage.
She looked at Vi and said, "Well, isn''t that obvious? I''m decent and popr. What now? You don''t
like it? You can''t do anything about it. How are you going topete with me? With your despicable
integrity and a father like that?"
"Don''t mention my father!"
Vi raised her arm angrily and tried to p Nicole in the face.
Nicole narrowed her eyes and pped Vi''s face first.
Vi screamed in pain.
She was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"How dare you p me?"
"Why don''t I? I''m your elder sister. You''re disrespectful to me. Don''t you know that as a little sister, you
should respect me like a mother. I''m teaching you how to behave."
As Nicole said righteously, Vi spat.
"How dare you mention that you''re my elder sister? Did you forget what you''ve done to me?"
"You got what you deserve. Vi, I brought you to Edwin because we''re sisters. If you reform and start
over, we can still be family. But if you continue to be so stubborn, I won''t always have patience. You
won''t have Mike to plead for you this time."
Nicole had said what she wanted to say. As for whether Vi would listen, she didn''t know.
Vi snorted and did not reply, but the look in her eyes told Nicole that she wasn''t going to reflect on
herself.
Since Vi chose to stay on the wrong path, Nicole wasn''t going to talk her out of it. After all, they were
two different kinds of people.
Nicole left Vi and went straight to Steve.
"Steve, where''s Cara?"
"She went to get some medicine for Mr. Shaw."
Nicole was surprised.
"Medicine? Is there anything wrong with my grandfather?"
Seeing that she was anxious, Steve hurriedly said, "He''s fine. Cara is nursing his health recently. She
says that he could use some medicine for calcium supplement. She went to the hospital to get the
medicine. And she will be back in a while."
Hearing Steve''s words, Nicole wasn''t relieved.
If Cara wanted to get some medicine, she would just ask Laurence to do the leg work. Why would she
go to the hospital personally?
Nicole didn''t want Steve to notice her worry. She smiled, "Steve, Samuel is asleep when I left. I guess
he''s awake now. If he can''t find me, he''ll be worried. Please tell my grandfather that I have to go now."
"You''re not staying for dinner?"
Steve was a little surprised.
Nicole smiled and said, "No. Samuel is going to feel lonely if I don''t go home to have dinner with him."
"You two seem love each other very much."
Steve did not force her to stay. He nodded and watched Nicole leave with a smile.
When she reached the door, Nicole said.
"Steve, when Vi is at home, take care of my grandfather. You know my sister could cause trouble

sometimes. Don''t let her irritate my grandfather."
Hearing this, Steve said, "Indeed. Vi is really naughty. She pissed offmander a lot. She''s got
sweet mouth, butmander seems to be very strict with her. After she tried to trick three times,
her. Only after that did she behave a bit."
When Nicole heard Steve say this, she couldn''t help but think about the image of Vi talking to herself
in the mirror.
She suddenly wanted tough.
Edwin was a genius.
Nicole felt relieved.
She had been worried that Edwin would be deceived by Vi''s shy words just like Mrs. Don. Now
that she heard that Edwin didn''t fall for Vi''s tricks, Nicole was relieved.
"Goodbye, Steve."
"Goodbye, Ms. Nicole."
Nicole got into the car and drove out of the militarypound.
After leaving the militarypound, Nicole pulled the car over and took out her phone to call Cara.
"Mrs. Green."
When Cara saw Nicole''s phone number, she immediately dialed back.
"What''s the situation? Why did you personally go to the hospital?"
"You''ve been to the Shaw''s?"
Cara asked instead of answering the question directly, which made Nicole''s heart sink.
"Mm, just left. Is there a situation?"
"I''m not sure. I''m here to run a test."
Nicole narrowed her eyes upon hearing that.
"Send me the address. I''ll be right there."
Right now, what Nicole concerned about the most was Edwin''s health.
If Edwin got sick because of Vi, she would never forgive herself.
Cara sent Nicole the location, and Nicole drove over.
When Nicole arrived at the hospital, Cara was waiting at the door.
She was frowning, looking worried.
Nicole was anxious.
To save some time, she pulled over at the road instead of parking the car in the underground parking
lot. And then, she ran over.
"What''s going on? Is there something wrong with my grandfather?"
Seeing Nicole arrive so quickly, Cara was surprised, but she snapped out of the trance soon.
"I''m not sure yet. We have to wait for the results," said she.
"What''s going on?"
Nicole was worried.
Cara said, "Vi brought back a nt from somewhere yesterday and put it in your grandfather''s
bedroom. I was in the kitchen at the time, so I didn''t notice anything weird. Your grandfather seemed to
like the nt very much. He thought she brought the nt to please him, so he didn''t ask anyone to
take it away. I saw the nt when I went in to clean the room this morning. "
"Is there something with the nt?"
Nicole frowned.
Cara shook her head and said, "The nt looks fine, but I felt dizzy not long after I went in. Your
grandfather is feeling weak, too. I guess there is something in the bedroom that chemically reacts with
the nt, and some kind of gas would be produced during the process to make people dizzy. I looked
around and found that the sandalwood hanging in the bedroom was somewhat ipatible with the
fragrance of the nt. I secretly took the sandalwood and picked a leaf of the nt and came here with
the cover that I''m getting some medicine for your grandfather."
Nicole''s face turned sullen.
Vi had improved her trick, hadn''t she?
She didn''t use poison. Instead, she made use of the chemical reaction of two things.
If something really happened, she could cover her track by taking away the nt or the sandalwood.
Vi was good.
Nicole curled her lips into a cold smile.
