Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1207

Nicole and Evelyn's expressions immediately changed when they heard this.

"What? What happened?"

Evelyn had never seen her father-in-law, but she could tell that Ballard was very important to Tim.

Although Tim didn't say anything, when he heard that Ballard was miserable, he didn't even have the mood for a honeymoon.

The man didn't say anything, but he left a place for Ballard in his heart.

Now that Evelyn heard that something had happened to Ballard, her first thought was whether Tim would be able to withstand it.

"Let's get in the car first."

Samuel did not know the exact situation.

Nicole was a little worried about the children.

Samuel seemed to see through her worries and whispered, "It's fine. They have someone to take care of them. Don't worry."

Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole felt relieved and immediately got into the car with Evelyn.

Samuel drove the car to the entrance of a hotel.

Tim brought Ballard to the hotel after he found Ballard.

There were two police cars here.

Nicole felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.

She tugged at Samuel.

Nicole still remembered how they got out of the Seapolis City. Now that she saw the police cars, she couldn't help but be stunned with a nervous expression.

However, Samuel didn't seem to see the police cars. He held Nicole's hand and walked into the hotel.

The atmosphere in the hotel was somewhat oppressive.

Nicole became uneasier and uneasier. Although Evelyn did not say anything, Nicole could tell that she was very nervous.

After they entered, Fill's people quickly walked over.

"Mr. Green, this way please."

This was Fill's subordinate.

Samuel glanced at him indifferently and followed him.

They took a private elevator.

The elevator quickly reached Tim's floor.

This floor was basically restricted, and there were police officers questioning everywhere.

Nicole vaguely sensed something, and she held Samuel even tighter.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and they arrived at the door of room 609.

Tim stood at the door smoking.

Smoke was in front of his face, making it hard for people to see his expression, but they could feel the gloomy and sad atmosphere.

Evelyn quickly walked over and gently grabbed his hand, whispering, and "Are you alright?"

Her words made Tim's eyes moist.

"Evelyn, my dad is gone."

His voice was hoarse, but it carried extreme sorrow.

He suddenly hugged Evelyn and choked, "From today onwards, I am really an orphan."

These words instantly made Nicole's nose feel sad.

Samuel brought Nicole into the room and left Tim and his wife alone.

At this time, Tim needed to be comforted, and Evelyn should be the one comforting him.

After Nicole followed Samuel in, she discovered that Ballard was dead.

Ballard was lying on the bed with white liquid at the corner of his mouth, and his face was already dark green.

"Is it poisoning?"

Samuel frowned slightly.

Fill nodded and said, "Yes, suicide."

Nicole was suddenly stunned.

Why did Ballard commit suicide?

She still remembered how panicked he was when she saw Ballard not long ago. He didn't even allow Tim to come here. Now, in less than a day, he committed suicide.

Why?

What couldn't he talk about?

Nicole did not know, but she also understood Tim's feeling.

Tim had rushed all the way here, but he didn't expect that Ballard would commit suicide in front of him. Anyone probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Did he die before Tim came? Or after?"

"After."

Fill whispered, "When Tim arrived, he found Ballard. At that time, Ballard's mind was already a little unclear and he had a high fever. He kept telling Tim to leave quickly and not to stay. We thought he had a fever and was dizzy, so we got a family doctor to give him a drip. Then he fell asleep after his fever got better. I went out to buy food for Tim, and Tim went out to smoke. When I came back, Ballard was already dead. He should take his poison with him. Even if Tim hadn't arrived, he would probably still commit suicide. "

Hearing Fill's words, Nicole and Samuel frowned.

Ballard, who was supposed to be traveling, appeared here and was living such a miserable life that he didn't even dare to let Tim know. Why?

She was thinking about this question when she heard Samuel say, "Did you check the casino?"

Not knowing if it was because of Ballard's death or the cold night, Nicole subconsciously leaned towards Samuel.

Samuel simply unbuttoned his coat and hugged Nicole tightly.

She felt faint warmth, but she still felt cold in her heart.

She said sadly, "For some reason, I really can't face the death of someone close now. Perhaps it's because I'm getting older."

"Don't talk nonsense. How old are you? You're not even thirty yet. Don't talk like you are old."

Samuel tightened his arm and whispered, "Ballard's death doesn't look like an accident."

"What did you discover?"

Nicole raised her head to look at Samuel, her eyes carrying a trace of inquiry.

Nicole knew that Ballard was unpopular when he was alive, but he was Tim's father after all. What Nicole cared about was Tim's feelings.

Samuel shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything, but I have some guesses. When Ballard married Martha, he had a very happy and romantic time. I had it checked out that Ballard had once spent a lot of money for Martha. In order to please her, he renovated the entire Louis' old mansion to Martha's liking. However, in the second year of Tim's birth, Ballard cheated on her. It was secretive and unexpected. For a time, the people of the Seapolis City couldn't believe it. After all, the two of them were talented and loving. What's more, Ballard brought Bella directly into the Louis' old mansion that he had specially renovated for Martha. It was a bit like he was intentionally angering Martha."

Nicole didn't know about these old things, and Tim probably didn't know either. But Samuel actually went to investigate.

"When did you find out these things?"

"Today."

Samuel's words caused Nicole to be stunned again, and then she felt warm in her heart.

Today, while she was resting, Samuel was investigating these things in the study room.

Because she cared about Tim and Ballard was Tim's father, Samuel sacrificed his personal time to investigate these old things, right?

Nicole's eyes were a little moist.

She tightly wrapped her arms around Samuel's waist and said, "Why do you pamper me like this?"

Samuel smiled and did not say anything.

The two of them got into the car. When Samuel was driving, Nicole looked up at him.

He still had dark circles on his face, so it was obvious that he hadn't rested properly.

Nicole's hand gently touched his big hand, and she said softly, "Samuel, take care of yourself, otherwise I will be worried. To me, no one is more important than you."

These words were like a warm current that instantly flew into Samuel's heart.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled, "Yes, I will."

The two of them did not speak, but the atmosphere was much warmer.

Nicole thought back to what Samuel said just now. What exactly did he want to tell her?

Did he just want to tell her some old things?

However, Nicole always felt that Samuel had other intentions when he talked about these things.
