âMrs. Seet has gotten so thin and disheveled, but Mr. Seet is still heartlessly lying to her. I honestly canât make heads or tails of what heâs thinking.â
âI can. I called John earlier, and he said that Mr. Seet is worried about Mrs. Seet not letting him take care of her. That is why he came up with the whole fake illness excuse to con her into staying by his side. It may look like Mrs. Seet is caring for him, but Mr. Seet will actually be the one whoâs taking care of her.â
âHe couldâve just feigned the illness. Why did he have to pretend to have amnesia as well?â
âThat⦠is probably something only Mr. Seet knows.â
Everyone was speechless.
Nicole called Wesley, who was also surprised to hear about Wicca. The latter claimed that he never even heard of something like that before. Unfortunately, Wesley and Kate had already left for S Nation, so itâd be a long wait before Wesley could return and save Evan.
Kate, however, deliberately lied to Nicole and said, âIâve heard of Wicca before, Nicole. The victim can survive longer if they are happy. You must listen to his requests and do as he asks to keep his blood pressure low.â
Nicole sighed after hanging up.
Evan is already a domineering assh*le. Now I have to go out of my way to keep him happy?
Despite her thoughts, Nicole still decided to do as informed to keep Evan alive.
Evan got out of his study room and immediately saw Nicole in a sorrowful daze.
He walked to her and commanded, âIf you want to stay and prove that youâre my wife, then you must fatten yourself up. Youâre too thin, and others will think that the Seet family have tormented you so much that we donât even feed you.â
Nicole was speechless. She sighed. I donât want to be this thin either, but my illness seems to have left a âniceâ gift behind. I have no appetite whatsoever.
âGo eat!â
After saying his piece, Evan dragged Nicole to the dining room.
Nicole stared at the table filled with delicacies, but she still didnât feel like eating anything. She had her bowl of porridge with her and was swirling the porridge endlessly with her spoon before she took one small sip.
âGobble it up,â ordered Evan sternly.
Nicole wanted to fight back and said that she didnât have any appetite, but she recalled what Kate said about Wicca. Evan must remain happy to prolong his life and prevent Wicca from killing him. So, Nicole started chowing down on her food.
Evanâs frown dissipated, and a small grin lit up on his face. Watching Nicole eat was a joy to him, and Evan secretly vowed that he would get Nicole all healthy and glowing again.
After Nicole finished the entire bowl of porridge, Evan took the shells off of three prawns and gave the prawns to her. âFinish these too,â insisted Evan.
Nicole couldnât speak.
She was stunned for a moment before she popped them into her mouth.
Evan noticed how difficult it was for her to finish eating everything and worried about her stomach being too full. Hence, he didnât force her to eat anymore.
After they had their meals together, the two lovebirds sat together to watch television. Evan was surprised by Nicoleâs reaction. She hadnât seen the kids in two years. Why isnât she asking about them?
Nicole missed her kids dearly, and she wanted to ask about them, but she thought that it was pointless. As far as she was concerned, Evan had lost his memories and had forgotten all about her, so there was no way heâd remember the kids. Moreover, she didnât want her kids to see how hauntingly thin she was at that moment.
Iâll go see them after I gain some weight.
Evan saw through her hesitance and guessed what she was thinking, so he deliberately fished his phone out to call Juan.
âJuan, have you gone to bed?â
Nicole was flabbergasted when she heard Evan talking to Juan. He has amnesia, but he remembers the kids? Am I the only one he has forgotten all about?
âNot yet, daddy. Kai and I are doing our homework from the hacking classes. Whatâs up, daddy? Why did you call?â
âItâs nothing. Where are Maya and Nina?â
Nicole dug her fingers into her flesh. Waves of emotions washed her heart when she heard Juanâs voice. She really wanted to hold her kids in her arms and see how they were doing.
Nicole held her breath as she waited for Juanâs answer.
âTheyâre asleep, daddy. Nina said that a good nightâs sleep can keep her beautiful, so she had been sleeping on time. Maya has begun paying attention to her looks ever since she got thin, so she went to bed when Nina did.â
