Even with an oxygen tank, Samuel found it difficult to go down to the seabed.
He lost strength and was almost unable to withstand the water pressure. However, Samuel did not want to give up. He simply couldn’t give up.
Whether Nicole was alive was unknown.
He didn’t believe she would commit suicide. The only explanation was that someone tried to kill her, and she didn’t know what was going on.
Samuel did not know who did it. But he knew it was not Allen.
Allen wanted Nicole and went to great lengths to get her. He wouldn’t let her die.
The pressure was so great that Samuel was unable to open his eyes. But he still did not want to give up.
His skin hurt as if it was pierced by needles. His injured arm was numb and he didn’t feeling at all. But Samuel was still going down.
He seemed to see the outline of the car.
It had white roof. The car was bubbling.
Would Nicole be inside?
Samuel really wanted to swim over to take a look, but he couldn’t hold on any longer.
Samuel tried to keep his legs and hold his breath.
The rescue team and search team would not risk their lives to reach the seabed. When they saw Samuel almost freeze to death, they tried to pull him up.
However, Samuel knew their intentions and punched them. He scared them.
Finally, they evacuated.
Samuel didn’t care.
He drew in a breath and swam downwards with all his strength.
He finally touched the handle.
Samuel was thrilled.
He tugged hard at the door, only to find that it couldn’t be opened. He hit the glass with his arms and body again and again.
His arm bled again from the force, but Samuel ignored it and continued his move.
Finally, the window pane loosened.
Samuel kicked it and the window shattered.
He opened the door in a hurry.
When he got in, Samuel noticed the door on the other side had already been opened. Nicole wasn’t in the car, but her coat was in it.
There was blood on it. It was still fresh.
Samuel couldn’t think properly.
Was she injured?
Where did she go?
Could it be that she escaped?
But where could she go? The place was deep down in the sea.
Samuel took her coat and continued searching for Nicole. Being so tired, he fainted.
When Mike arrived, he saw Samuel being unconscious in the car.
Nicole was not there. There were only a few strands of long hair on the window.
Mike picked them up and pulled Samuel out of the sea.
Samuel had a fever when he was brought to the land.
He had several wounds which were infected. There were many abrasions on his body.
Allen’s expression darkened at the sight of Samuel.
He asked, “Where’s Nicole? Where’s she?”
Mike really wanted to punch him into the sea.
“You’d better pray she is fine. Or I will let you pay for it!”
Mike called the nearby hospital to give Samuel medical treatment.
Seeing Samuel and Mike returning without any findings, she got more worried.
“Wasn’t she down there?”
Mike looked at Audrey and shook his head. “She should have escaped. But it’s cold there. She will hardly survive.”
The water was indeed chilly.
A person would faint in a few minutes if they immersed in the seawater. Nicole was no exception.
Allen knew things that others didn’t.
He knew about Nicole’s situation.
He couldn’t hold it back.
“Nicole took tranquilizers. She was unconscious. How could she escape?”
“What?”
Mike didn’t expect Nicole fell into the sea unconsciously. Now he wished he could skin Allen alive.
Audrey trembled violently and fell to the ground.
“Tranquilizers? It was Viola! She did it!”
Hearing that, Mike froze for a moment, and his expression turned gloomy.
He wanted to argue for Viola, but he couldn’t say anything.
Samuel was taken to the hospital. The rescue team was still doing their work. Allen wanted to find Nicole first.
However, as time went by, Nicole was nowhere to be found.
In the hospital, Samuel had a high fever and kept saying Nicole’s name. Audrey was heartbroken when she heard that.
Mike dived into the sea. He went to places that were far and deep. But he still couldn’t find Nicole.
The hair he brought back was tested. It belonged to Nicole.
The jacket in Samuel’s arms had blood stains on it. It was confirmed that it was Nicole’s blood.
In other words, Nicole was unconscious when she fell to the sea. She was also injured and the injuries seemed to be very serious.
A whole day passed.
When Samuel woke up, he didn’t know where he was. But memories suddenly flashed through his mind. He frantically went down from bed, took the oxygen tank and rush to the seaside.
Mike came back and saw his crazy action. He wanted to stop Samuel, but he didn’t.
The doctor shouted behind him, saying Samuel could not go into the sea now. But Samuel couldn’t hear it.
All he wanted was to find Nicole.
He had said that he would bring her home in two days!
But where were you now, Nicole?
Samuel cried in the sea.
Five years ago, he almost lost her. Fortunately, she became his again. Why did she leave him in the end?
Samuel was exhausted and he fainted in the sea again.
Mike dragged him up and asked the doctor to tie him to the bed. He should not get out of bed.
Another day passed, but there was still no news.
Allen had already given up, feeling that Nicole must have died.
The cliff was so steep. She was unconscious and injured. There were vicious creatures in the sea. Nicole would definitely not be able to escape.
He asked the search team to stop and they left the cliff.
Audrey waited at the seaside for two days and a night. But Nicole didn’t appear. Audrey had an intuition that tragedy might have happened.
The authorities called her and informed her to get the test report.
Only then did Audrey remember that she and Nicole had done a paternity test.
She got back immediately. The moment she received the paternity test, her hands were trembling.
The report suggested that there was a 99 percent possibility that she was Nicole’s biological mother.
In other words, Nicole was her daughter!
She was the daughter of her and Xander!
This result was within Audrey’s expectations, but she was also caught off guard.
She returned to the villa with the report and cried out loudly.
The man she loved the most in her life was Xander. The person she wanted to find the most was Nicole. But now, she had lost both.
Her older daughter was indirectly murdered by her little daughter!
This was unbearable for Audrey.
She cried loudly and endlessly. It scared Dominic and Viola who had rushed here.
Dominic didn’t know what Viola had done. He only knew the whole thing what Viola had done the surgery and returned.
Although he did not know what Nicole meant to Audrey, Dominic paid attention to anyone whom Audrey cared about.
He investigated Nicole and found out that she was Samuel’s wife. Plus, Allen also liked her. Dominic was worried about what might happen between Samuel and Mike. So he brought Viola to apologize to Audrey. But he didn’t expect to see Audrey collapse.
“Audrey, what’s wrong with you?”
“Mom, what happened?”
Viola and Dominic were both frightened.
Hearing Viola’s voice, Audrey pushed her away.
“Get lost! From now on, you’re not my daughter! Go away!”
Audrey hated Viola so much that she wished she could tear Viola apart.
Viola was frightened, and Dominic was confused.
“Audrey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t be so harsh. You frightened Viola. Don’t shout at her like this! She’s our daughter.”
“She’s not! She’s not! She’s a devil! She killed my daughter! She killed my daughter!”
Audrey’s words hurt Viola deeply.
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m your daughter. Look at me!”
“Get lost!”
Audrey picked up an object at hand and threw it at Viola.
Viola grabbed it. It happened to be the paternity test report.
She was dumbfounded when she saw it.
“How is this possible? How could Nicole be your daughter? I am the only daughter you have with dad!”
Dominic’s face darkened.
He took out the test report and looked at it. He understood what was going on instantly.
Audrey cried and laughed like a lunatic.
“The man I loved the most died on the battlefield. I lost the only child I had with him. I thought I would never see them again. I didn’t know I’m so fortunate to see Nicole again. But how could you be so cruel? Why did you give her tranquilizers? Did you know that someone drove the car and dropped her in the sea? The water is so cold and sea is so deep. She was unconscious and seriously injured. You killed your sister? Do you know that?”
Viola was unable to accept it.
“Sister? She’s not my sister! I’m the only child you have! Mom, I’m your only daughter! Nicole is not child!”
Viola wanted to catch Audrey, but was dodged.
“I didn’t want to give birth to you. If it hadn’t been for the fact that an abortion would kill, I wouldn’t have brought you into this world. If I had known that you would kill my child, I would have strangled you back then! I would have died with you!”
“Audrey, what are you talking about?”
Sensing Viola’s depression, Dominic stopped Audrey from continuing. But Audrey was distressed that she wanted to tear Viola apart. How could she care about her feelings?
