“Don’t worry. This is waterproof, so she won’t be able to wash it off.” Nina reassured her.
Huh?
Maya felt somewhat relieved, but she was still afraid that her Mommy would find out.
“Maya, Nina, Mommy’s sorry for not protecting you two. Here, I’m gonna clean your wounds and apply some ointment.”
Maya stood completely still, afraid to move while Nina casually stepped forward and held her arm out.
“Here you go, Mommy!”
Nicole held Nina’s arm and began cleaning the wound slowly and gently.
I bet Nina must be hurting a lot with the water running over the wound like that!
Nicole thought to herself as she looked up at Nina. She was about to comfort her when she realized something was amiss. Wait a minute… There isn’t the slightest hint of pain or discomfort on her face at all… In fact, she seems to be smiling gleefully!
Thus, Nicole began scrubbing the wound a little harder, but Nina still showed no signs of pain whatsoever. Her increasingly smug grin confirmed Nicole’s suspicions about the wound.
So that’s what the doctor meant when he said they were mischievous!
Nicole turned towards Levant and said, “There must be a lot of things to take care of now that the wedding is interrupted. I can handle this by myself, so you should go take a look.”
Levant gave it some thought and nodded. “All right, I’ll leave the kids to you, then. Call me if you need anything.”
“Will do!”
Nicole waited until Levant had left before interrogating her children.
“Tell me. What’s the deal with this wound?”
“There are lots of women who want to marry Daddy, so we could have lots of stepmoms, Mommy! They’ll all abuse us!”
So is it Susan?
Nicole couldn’t really understand Nina’s vague answers, but the mention of Evan potentially marrying other women left an unpleasant feeling in her heart.
How many women does that fickle and heartless b*stard plan on marrying? Those who want to marry him are probably just attracted by his wealth and appearance. They don’t know the man he truly is!
“In that case, how about you kids come with Mommy to Wicked Palace instead? It’s like a maze in there! I’m sure you’ll like it!”
Maya froze and stared wide-eyed at her. “But we’ll get lost easily if it’s like a maze, Mommy!” She said worriedly.
Oh, that’s right… Maya does have a tendency to get lost very easily…
“That’s alright. Mommy can show you around. You won’t get lost once you know the place well!”
