Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 40: It was not simple

The paramedic dared not disobey Samuel. She went in at once.

Samuel saw Nicole sleeping soundly. He grabbed her hair and went home quickly.

When Samuel came back, Riley met him and cried.

“Samuel, I didn’t mean to. I just want to punish Joseph. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. I’m sorry.

I did it wrong.”

Samuel was a little upset to see her crying.

“Well, I know you care about him. How’s Joseph? Has the doctor examined him?”

“The doctor is examining him.”

Riley's eyes were red with tears. She seemed to be really worried about Joseph.

Samuel went straight to Joseph's room.

Riley followed in.

Joseph's face flushed and he said he was cold. Samuel was heartbroken.

“Don't hit him later.”

“I won't do that in the future. He made the company suffer but he didn't say anything, so I was angry. I

did it for Green Family.”

Riley had never seen her son so stubborn. She was worried that Samuel would blame her and her son

for the heavy loss, so she wanted to teach Joseph a lesson. She didn't expect him to be ill.

Samuel touched Joseph's hot forehead and asked in a low voice, “Dr. Johnson, how is Joseph?”

“Joseph has a cold and an inflammation, so he has a fever. But I just checked Joseph. His tonsil is

inflamed. It’s common for children of this age to have such problems. Don't worry. I'll give him an

injection. He has to rest later.”

Dr. Johnson finished speaking to Samuel and began to give Joseph an injection.

Riley's crying really bothered Samuel.

“Go back to your room first. I'll let the servant take care of him. You can't do anything. I don't blame

Joseph. Don't punish him until you find out the truth.”

Riley heard Samuel's discontent and was more scared.

“Samuel, I didn’t mean to. Please let me stay. I am his mother. I want to take care of him.”

“Well, you have to take good care of him. Dr. Johnson, come to my study. I want to ask about Joseph's

condition.”

Samuel turned and left.

Riley wanted Samuel to stay. But he was cold, so she didn't dare to say it.

Dr. Johnson followed Samuel into the study.

“President Green, Joseph is fine. He just needs to rest. Children often get sick.” Dr. Johnson said.

Samuel opened a drawer in his desk and took out a handkerchief. Five years ago, when he learned

that Nicole was dead, he found a comb on her dresser, which still had Nicole's long hair.

He didn't see Nicole's body. He left her long hair and put it in the drawer of the desk and forbidden

anyone to touch it.

Now he took the handkerchief out. He handed Dr. Johnson the long hair he had pulled off Nicole’s body

and the handkerchief.

“Dr. Johnson, please confirm if they belong to the same person.”

Samuel's voice was small but solemn.

Dr. Johnson was stunned and asked in a low voice, “President Green, are you going to have a paternity

test?”

“Yes. A person's appearance and character can be changed, but hair and DNA won't change with

appearance, right?”

“Of course.”

Dr. Johnson didn't know whose hair it was, but Samuel cherished it.

He carefully put them away.

“Dr. Johnson, I don't want a third person to know about it. If there is any result, please call me. I'll get it

myself.”

“OK.”

Dr. Johnson left the study.

Riley had been staring at Samuel’s study. When Dr. Johnson came out, she stopped him.

“Dr. Johnson, what did Samuel say to you? What happened to my son? You must tell me! Dr. Johnson,

I’m Joseph's biological mother. If he is really ill, you can't hide it from me.”

Riley had tears in her eyes, and Dr. Johnson had a little sympathy for her.

“Miss George, Joseph is OK. President Green asked me how to take care of him.”

“Really?”

Riley was a little incredulous.

“Yes.”

Dr. Johnson left, but Riley was skeptical.

If he just wanted to ask about Joseph, why did he avoid her?

It was not simple!

When Riley wanted to go back to her room, Jacob rushed over.

“Jacob, why are you in such a hurry? What happened to the company?”

Riley asked subconsciously.

Jacob froze and shook his head and said, “the company is OK. Miss George, I have something to tell

President Green. I have to leave.”

He entered the study quickly.

Riley immediately followed him. She put her ear close to the door and listened to the sound inside.

Jacob was so anxious that he didn't close the door of the study. Then Jacob's voice came out of it.

“President Green, I’ve called the police. The police are investigating. Someone said he did see a

suspicious person enter the garage that day, but the person covered his face so he didn't see clearly.”

“So someone did do something to the car that day.’

Samuel's voice was cold.

Riley shivered.

Samuel called the police!

How could he call the police?

Riley's face was pale and her palms were sweating.

Jacob whispered, “President Green, Catherine just came to Seapolis. She didn't offend anyone. Maybe

our competitors don't want us to cooperate with HJ Group, so they deliberately sabotage. After all, as

long as Catherine is injured, HJ Group will stop working with us. Eternal Group will disappear in the

automotive sector.”

“You're right, but we don't have many competitors. They wouldn't make trouble in Eternal Group. Our

security system is great. I’m afraid there are spies in the company. Catherine only clashed with Riley

and I when she came to Seapolis. I will not harm her. Investigate where Riley was while we were

driving.”

Riley was scared when Samuel finished.

She left immediately and went back to Joseph's room, but she couldn't calm down.

Samuel suspected her!

What was Catherine?

She just arrived at Seapolis. Samuel even suspected a woman who had been with him for five years for

her sake!

It was unforgivable!

But Riley was afraid, too.

She knew Jacob’s methods.

If he did find out that she was at the scene, she and her son would be affected.

Riley immediately took out her phone and made a call.

“You have to prove that I was in the beauty salon the day Eternal Group checked the car.”

“I see. Don't worry.”

After hanging up, Riley's couldn't calm down.

Catherine was lucky!

She was not dead!

Now she wanted to go to the hospital and kill her, but she knew there must be Samuel's people in the

hospital now. It was dangerous for her to go there now.

Riley was nervous and walked around the room. She looked at Joseph in a coma and stomped angrily.

“You are useless! I gave birth to you. You have to think of a way for me.”

But Joseph couldn't hear it at all. Even if he heard, he might not understand her.

After a while, Samuel and Jacob come out of the study.

Riley came out at once.

“Samuel, don't you have lunch at home? Joseph missed you when he had a fever. You took care of him

when he was ill. Joseph will be very sad if you are not here.”

Riley looked pitiful.

Samuel used to stay for Joseph, but he couldn’ today. He had to take care of Nicole in the hospital

these days.

“Ask the servant to cook and I'll take the lunch. Now I have to see Joseph. Jacob, you can leave now.”

“Yes.”

Jacob left immediately, but Riley was nervous.

“Why is Jacob in a hurry? Samuel, you've given Jacob too many tasks. He will be tired. No one will

share your burden then.”

Riley seemed to be joking, but Samuel gave her one more look.

“I'll see Joseph.”

Samuel entered Joseph's room. Riley watched Jacob leave and the worries in her eyes disappeared.

Joseph's face eased, but he didn’t wake up.

Samuel held his hand, but suddenly he thought of Lucas.

Both of them were four years old, but Lucas was mature. Now he was still wondering if Lucas was his

son. He had a special feeling for him.

“I heard that Joseph has a good friend named Lucas in kindergarten. Let the driver go to the

kindergarten and pick him up. Maybe if he accompanies Joseph, he can recover quickly.”

Riley was stunned by Samuel's words.

Who was Lucas?

She didn't know his son had such a good friend.
