Chapter 182: Missed the Last Step
Laurel closed the window quickly and turned to look behind her.
The doctor took the nurse to look for Zoe at the first time, but their faces changed when they found she
was not in the room.
"Laurel, where's Miss Zoe?”
"Joke! Do I need to tell you where the Green family's granddaughter is going?"
Laurel now completely suppressed her emotions and looked indifferent.
"Oh, Miss Zoe may have run away. Go after her now!"
The doctor's face suddenly became very ugly, and as he said to the nurse, he heard Laurel say, "No
one is allowed to go out! I'll shoot and kill whoever goes out today.’
Laurel made no joke at all, but installed the pistol with silencer, which made everyone a little scared.
"Laurel, what are you doing? How can Miss Zoe withstand so much trouble? Besides, there will be an
operation tomorrow. Won't you be afraid you would ruin Miss Zoe if you do this?"
“This is a matter of the Green family. It has nothing to do with you! No one is going out!”
Laurel's eyes swept coldly over everyone.
Zoe fell down, and her knee bled, but her grandmother was still waiting for her, so she got up and ran
on, tears flying in the air.
When she saw Daddy, the game would be over. She must ask her grandma to buy her a lollipop. It was
too painful.
Not long after Zoe ran out, she saw Miss Lynn coming. She seemed to have other people behind her.
"Miss Lynn.”
Zoe wanted to rush to her, but she remembered what Laurel had said. She quickly hid herself and
heard Lynn say, "Mr. Allen said that Miss Zoe should not be allowed to live today on any account. The
nurse up there called me and said Zoe has gone. You'd better look around and find her and coax her
back as much as you can. We must kill Miss Zoe without anyone noticing. We must not let anyone
catch us."
"Yes!"
The people behind Lynn looked fierce, and then went to look for Zoe after they heard Lynn's words.
Zoe was small, but not stupid, and she could understand what ‘kill’ meant.
She began to tremble.
Mr. Allen was her godfather, and the godfather wanted her to die?
Why?
Was it because of her illness that mommy and brother were in trouble?
Or was she disobedient?
Zoe suddenly covered her mouth and started to tremble, her big, pretty eyes bursting into tears.
She crouched in a corner of the flower-bed, watching the passing footsteps, and did not dare to make a
sound.
At that moment, she realized that grandma was not playing games with her.
Someone was really trying to kill her, and Grandma was protecting her.
Grandma!
The memory of the kind woman made Zoe cry even harder.
Zoe almost screamed as a pair of hands rested on her shoulders, only to hear someone behind her
say, "Hus, Zoe, it's me.’
"Joseph!
When Zoe heard Joseph's voice, she turned around and hugged him.
She's so scared!
Joseph, not much bigger than Zoe, patted her on the shoulders and said, "Come with me. I'll take you
to Daddy. Jacob has gone to distract them."
"Grandma is still in the hospital room."
Zoe thought of Laurel.
Joseph whispered, "Daddy will find a way to save her.”
Zoe started to run around in the flowers with Joseph. Joseph, like a small mouse, always pulled Zoe to Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
run quickly when people walked by.
At first, Zoe was scared, but when she saw Joseph's calm look, she suddenly stopped fearing.
She found that Joseph was just as brave as her brother and would protect her.
Zoe followed Joseph for a long time and finally saw Samuel's car.
"Daddy!"
Joseph quickly pulled Zoe into the car.
Samuel was relieved to see Zoe safe and sound.
"Don't be afraid, Zoe. Daddy's taking you out of here."
"Grandma is still in the hospital room."
Zoe was always thinking of Laurel.
Samuel saw that Zoe's ward was full of people, and then he said to the bodyguard, “Take the young
master and the young lady to this place to wait for me. I will save my mother.”
"Mr. Samuel...”
The bodyguard was worried.
These people were from the Green family. In a word, they were all bodyguards who grew up with
Samuel. They were worried about Both Samuel and Laurel, and when they heard that Samuel wanted
to save Laurel, they said in a low voice, “Let us do it”
"Listen to me, take the young master and the young lady away.”
"Daddy, you must bring Grandma back."
Zoe's eyes flickered with tears as she prayed, and Samuel felt deeply distressed.
He gently wiped her tears with his fingers and said with a smile, “Don't worry, Daddy will bring Grandma
back.
With that, Samuel quickly got out of the car and made the first phone call.
Soon after, a young man got out of the car, looked around, and whispered, “Samuel, here I am. Where
are you?"
Samuel stepped out of the shadows.
When the man saw Samuel, he smiled happily, raised his fist, and punched him in the shoulder.
"Shit, you didn't tell me you have come to the United States. You won't find me if you don’t need me,
right? Are friends like this?”
"Mike, stop that now, I'm in a hurry.”
Samuel paid no heed to his conduct. They were friends that had known for years.
"Come on, I haven't seen Laurel for so long.”
Mike and Samuel went straight into the St. Petersburg hospital.
The corridor was full of Miss Lynn's people, and the doctors and nurses in the room were still
deadlocked with Laurel.
For the sake of Laurel's special status, they really dare not act rashly.
Lynn was about to call Allen for instructions when Samuel arrived with Mike.
“What's the matter? It is late now."
Mike's careless remark immediately caught everyone's attention.
Other people didn't know Mike, but Lynn's face turned white the moment she saw him.
“Why are you here?”
Lynn hurried forward to greet Mike.
"My friend Samuel's daughter is in the hospital,’ Mike said casually. "I came to see her. Why? Don't you
allow it?"
"I dare not.’
Lynn's legs were shaking.
Do not interfere with the government. They were just businessmen, and Mike was the son of a state
governor, and he was now very famous in the business circle. He was also a famous lawyer.
She never expected that Samuel would be Mike’s friend and be on good terms with him.
Lynn wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Tomorrow is Miss Zoe's day to have an operation.
Mr. Allen asked me to see if there was anything wrong. After I came back, I only found Laurel and I
didn't know where Miss Zoe has gone. We are looking for her now.”
"How can my mother hurt her granddaughter?"
Samuel said faintly, but his eyes were keen.
Lynn looked away.
"I don't know. Laurel seems to have misunderstood us.
"Since there is a misunderstanding, we're not staying here. Mike said he had a private hospital. Let's
go there today.”
Samuel took Mile’s advantages.
Mike gave him a sidelong glance of contempt.
Samuel was always annoyed. Shouldn't Samuel inform him when he used him?
Samuel didn't seem to see the disdainful look. He pushed the door open and said, "What are you
doing? You have forced my mother to take out a gun. Do you want to force her to jump off a building?”
It went too far. Everyone hurriedly smiled apologetically.
When Laurel saw Samuel coming, and followed by some important man, she was relieved and put
away her pistol.
"I played with them.”
Now Laurel dared not make too much trouble, because it is in the hospital of the Brook Family after all.
Samuel took a step forward and helped her, glancing at everyone with cold eyes, and said, "We're
going now. Who dares to stop us?”
Lynn wanted to say something else, but Mike coughed and said, “Lynn, I heard that the Brook family is
interested in the land in the western suburbs recently, isn't it? As it happens, my father thinks he is
having a good project there. Why not discuss it with Mr. Allen later?"
This made Lynn sweat even more.
Could the businessman go against the officials?
"You're joking, Master Mike.’
"I like to joke.”
Then he came up to Laurel and said respectfully, "How are you, Laurel? I'm a former comrade of
Samuel's. We are good friends, and I've heard a lot about you, and now I finally met you today. Let’s
go! I treat you today!"
Why didn't Laurel know how capable her son was?
For a moment she smiled.
"Well, let's have a good talk."
"No, no, my dad loves chatting.”
Mike enthusiastically took them out.
Lynn didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she told Allen about it.
Allen was angry, but helpless. He missed a step, but he was secretly shocked that Samuel should have
known the governor's son, Mike.
And no one knew about it. How did Samuel come up with such an elaborate plan?
He was puzzled, but Samuel took Laurel and Jacob together, and went to the private nursing home that
Mike had found for them.
“Grandma!”
The moment Zoe saw Laurel, she rushed over like a butterfly.
With Zoe in her arms, Laurel suddenly felt that she had gained what she had lost.
"Samuel, don't worry. This is my personal property. Even Allen knows this place, he dares not come in
and makes trouble. Now several cases of the Brook Family are waiting for my father's approval. Unless
he doesn't want to develop his business in America anymore, or he would dare to do anything."
“Thanks, Mike.”
Samuel didn't mean to disturb Mike, because he was only here to treat his daughter, but he ended up
making so much trouble.
Without saying anything more, Mike chatted with him for a while and left. Samuel immediately asked
Zoe and Laurel to have a physical examination.
If Allen had planned to set trap for Zoe from the beginning, then he was a little worried about her
illness.
