Evanâs glacial tone interrupted Nicoleâs thoughts.
She looked up at the man, not understanding a word he had just said.
Threaten him? When have I ever done that?
âI donât know what youâre talking about, Mr. Seet.â
Evan snorted. âToo afraid to own up?â
Seeing how bewildered Nicole looked, the man scoffed and continued, âOnly a woman like you can do something as shallow as hacking into a companyâs system. Still, Iâm more curious as to where you learned to be a hacker and doctor.â
The doctor part was no surprise to Nicole. However, the hackingâ¦
Did Juan do something?
He did fiddle around with the computer earlier when he was alone. Could he have gotten revenge for me by hacking into Evanâs company website?
Upon realizing this, Nicole immediately eased the situation by admitting it was her doing. âI learned hacking and medicine from my mentors.â
âSo you admit it? Do you not fear death from doing such things?â
Evanâs frosty eyes narrowed as an intimidating aura engulfed him.
The moment he said that, Nicole instantly froze.
Heâs going to take my life just because of this?
I canât die yet!
I have to raise my three babies and make sure Kyle gets better.
âKyle wonât be able to get better if you kill me, Mr. Seet.â
Evanâs face darkened at the mention of Kyle. There was no denying that Nicoleâs acupuncture treatments were helping.
The boy now felt much more at ease from just one treatment.
In that case, Iâll keep her alive for now so she can treat Kyle. This is her chance to redeem herself, and Iâll think about the rest later.
âYou canât kill Mommy, Mister! Mommy works so hard to raise us!â Maya said while looking innocent with her puppy eyes.
âWeâll hate you for life if you kill Mommy!â
Meanwhile, Nina looked as angry as a bull.
Evan was instantly filled with wrath as he looked down and saw the two little girls protecting their mother.
Itâs hard to raise them? Theyâll hate me for life?
How is it my problem if sheâs had a tough time raising them? She deserves it!
âIâll spare your life, for now, Nicole Lane. Be glad that youâre being given a chance at redemption. Youâll continue to treat Kyle, but you must never tell him youâre his mother, or elseâ¦â
The rage in Evanâs eyes made Nicole quiver. She immediately placed herself in front of her daughters and responded, âI understand, Mr. Seet. Donât worry. I wonât tell Kyle anything.â
âYouâd better not.â
After Evan said that, he stared at her for a long time.
But just as he turned to leave, the sound of a mug falling to the ground suddenly came from inside the bedroom.
Thereâs someone else?
Evan stopped in his tracks and turned to Nicole.
The womanâs eyes were filled with anxiety.
It must be the man she ended up marrying. He must be the father of these two girls.
The thought of this made Evanâs gaze darken.
His precious Kyle had gone through so much suffering, but this woman continued to live like the boy never existed.
He was determined to find out who this despicable man was.
After a short pause, Evan began heading toward the bedroom.
âYou canât go in there, Mr. Seet!â
Juanâs inside! Evan would surely recognize the boy.
âMove!â
âMr. Seet, you canât-â
The more Nicole resist, the more Evan became frustrated. With that, he pushed her aside angrily. Look at how nervous she is. Is she worried that Iâm about to hurt her man?
D*mn it!
Evan slammed the door open as he arrived in front of the bedroom.
