Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 928

"Yes, I just came to see you. I haven't heard from your sister lately. How is she?"

Nicole thought for a while and said. She was trapped on the island by Elvis recently so she didn't know if Olivia was worried. But now it seemed that Olivia was too busy dealing with her own troubles.

She had to take care of a paralyzed younger brother and a father with brain disease.

Booth's eyes were dim.

"Nicole, can you do me a favor?"

"What's that?"

"Can you find me a job that I can do at home? I originally applied for a job as a translator. However, they fired me because I couldn't deliver the manuscripts in person. Our family's financial status is not good, and my sister is exhausted. As the man in our family, I have to do something to make it easier for her. It doesn't matter how much does the job pay, as long as I can share the burdens with my sister."

Hearing Booth's words, Nicole's tears were rolling in her eyes.

Booth used to be a rich kid with great ambition, but now he came down because of the Green family. Nicole felt sorry about that.

"Don't worry. I will help you."

"Nicole, I know you are a good person and you blame the Green family and yourself for what happened to us. However, my sister said that this was our destiny, and had nothing to do with you. She might not be able to help you a lot for the circumstance now. But let her know if there is anything she can do. She will do her best like the old times."

Nicole was deeply touched, but also felt grieved.

"Your sister and I are the best friends forever. Don't worry. I know your family is too stubborn to accept my financial support. So I will keep it in mind and find you a job so that you can share some of the burdens for your family."

"Thank you, Nicole."

Booth finally smiled brightly, just the way she had seen before when he was young.

However, Nicole couldn't even force a smile.

When she came out of the Kent's, she was extremely depressed and sad.

Nicole called Samuel immediately.

"Is Jacob out?"

"Yes, but it doesn't look good."

Samuel's voice was somewhat low.

"I'm at the Kent's. It isn't good here either."

Nicole told him about Booth.

Samuel whispered without hesitation, "I will call the company. We happen to be in need of translators lately. Just let Booth take the job since he should be excellent with languages due to his background. I will send someone to pick up the manuscripts every day. After all, as important documents, it is better not to send them online. I will pay him as usual."

"Thank you, Samuel."

"Don't mention it. We are family. After all, we owe them. It's just they are too stubborn to accept our money. Have you seen Olivia?"

Hearing Samuel's question, Nicole sighed and said, "She took Harper to the nursing home to settle him down, I suppose. She doesn't have much savings, and her pocket should be empty now."

"Don't worry about Jacob. I can take care of him. Olivia, take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

"OK."

Nicole hung up the phone, feeling somewhat comforted. At least Booth's job was settled.

After she got in the car and gave Ernesto the address, she called Laurence.

"Find out where Brian is for me. He can't just disappear. Busy dealing with Elvis' business makes me forget about Brian. Now it's his turn."

Nicole's said coldly.

Laurence said yes.

After the phone, Nicole leaned on the seat. It was a long day for her. She felt a slight pain in her belly as if her baby had a long day either.

Nicole leaned on the seat and rested without any movements.

Soon, Ernesto arrived the address Booth gave him.

Nicole looked up, seeing a clinic instead of a hospital. Moreover, it looked tattered outside. She couldn't imagine the sanitary status inside.

She had no problems with clinics but was just worried.

Nicole got off the car and walked into the clinic. She didn't expect that there would be so many people inside.

From afar, she saw Olivia supporting a middle-aged man in a crowded line.

There were different kinds of people here. Seeing a beautiful lady like Olivia, a man couldn't help moving towards her and deliberately rubbing against her body.

Olivia frowned slightly and stepped aside with Harper. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the people behind immediately cut in.

"Hey, this is my spot."

Olivia hurriedly to argue, but was pushed away by them.

"What? Didn't you just step aside? Queue up again!"

"I'm sorry. I was imprisoned on an isolated island by Elvis a while ago. There was no signal there so I didn't receive any messages from you. Samuel was busy looking for me so he might not be able to take care of you. I'm sorry, Olivia. I'm so sorry, it's my fault."

Nicole suddenly couldn't be angry any more.

Olivia shook her head and pinned her long hair behind her ears. She smiled faintly and said, "Look, we all have our own worries. I'm not complaining about you when I tell you this. I just want to tell you that sometimes, things can be out of our control. My dad's brain cells are partly dead. The doctor says the surgery is expensive. Moreover, I don't know if my brother's legs will recover. Now that I can't afford the treatment, I have to let him stay at home. May I borrow some money from you? I don't know when I'll pay you back, but I'll get a job as soon as possible."

Nicole never knew that Olivia and she would be like strangers to each other.

The Olivia she knew had always been very proud. Even when Olivia was an orphan, she had never been so humble. But as humble as Olivia was when she asked Nicole to borrow some money, Nicole felt deeply hurt.

"Olivia, do you know how much I care about you?"

"It's not what I'm wishing for either, but Nicole, I have no choice. I need money. My dad can't wait any longer, and I don't know what will happen to my brother. There is nothing else in my mind. If I'm still a friend to you, can you lend me some money?"

"How much do you need?"

Nicole knew that there was no point keeping arguing.

Olivia paused for a moment and whispered, "Eight million."

"Alright, I'll give it to you. Let's go and get the money. I'll arrange a hospital for Harper to take the surgery. Booth's legs should be well attended. I've already find him a job. In addition, we need to hire a nurse. You are too tired to take care of two patients."

Olivia did not object Nicole's arrangement.

"I'm all yours."

"Then follow me."

Nicole brought Olivia and Harper in the car and jumped in herself.

After Ernesto started the car, Nicole suddenly thought of something. She looked at Olivia and whispered, "What happened between you and Jacob?"

"We broke up."

Olivia said in peace. It surprised Nicole that she seemed so calm about it.

"What happened?"

"I'm not good enough for him now, and I don't want to drag him down. It's the best for both of us."

Olivia turned her face around with her hand tightly gripping the door handle.

Nicole couldn't bear to tell her about Jacob's car accident.
