Kyle nodded and agreed to the task.
Sometime later, Evan came downstairs and saw Nicole, who stuck out like a sore thumb in the living room. His handsome face sank.
âYou came down by yourself?â he asked.
Nicole nodded.
If she could walk down herself, surely the injury is not as serious as sheâd claimed?
Evan narrowed his eyes and walked quickly to her side. When he saw her feet, he wrinkled his thick eyebrows.
The white gauze was dyed a dazzling blood red.
Even her clothes were stained with blood.
With this, sheâd actually walked down? It sure seemed like it!
This woman was already so cruel to herself, was there truly anything that she was incapable of?
He had to keep Kyle away from people like her!
âOn my way down, Iâd hit myself one too many times. The bone should definitely be broken. I had to crawl in.â
âYou⦠crawledâ¦â Evan looked at his mahogany floors. Was all of this blood?
He moved aside in disgust.
In tears, Nicole cried, âMr. Seet, my legs are of no use to me right now. If I can stay here in the future, it wouldnât be so bad. I can eat and live well here, and Iâd get to see Kyle all the time. Iâm his Mommy! If I canât walk, I can only let Kyle take care of me for the rest of my life.â
Ah! You still want to stay here? And have Kyle take care of you? You must be daydreaming.
âNicole, you were the one who had abandoned Kyle. And you now have the audacity to ask him to take care of you?â asked Evan.
âI had no choice in the matter! Why donât you take care of me then? After all, itâs your fault that Iâm in this pathetic state right now!â she retorted.
âIn your dreams!â exclaimed Evan icily.
âYou can just let me die here then. When Kyle learns the truth, he will hate you for life!â
Evanâs face immediately sank.
Damn this woman. Was she threatening him with her life?
However, he could not bear to ignore her. If he really did let her die here, Kyle would have definitely hated him if he had found out.
Goddamned woman, you are cruel to the core!
Evan took out his phone and made a call. Swiftly, Nicole was brought over to the hospital.
The doctors were surprised, âMr. Seet had said that it was serious. But isnât this just a flesh wound?â
âYeah, he said it as if she was going to become an invalid.â
Nicole listened to the doctorsâ muttering and gave them a haughty smile. âYou have no idea how good Mr. Seet is to me. Normally, even a pinprick is enough to make him fuss over me for quite a while. What can I say, really? He feels heartbroken for me, thatâs why heâd thought that it was that serious.â
Hearing what Nicole had uttered, the doctors shared a look of understanding. So this was the woman who was treasured by Mr. Seet. She was truly an important person!
After that, the treatment she received was heavenly.
At night, Evan came to visit her in the hospital after work. To his surprise, the ward was empty!
âWhere is she?â asked Evan.
âMr. Seet, your wife has said that she had something to do, and sheâd left.â
âWife?â Evan frowned. Were they talking about Nicole?
âBut⦠How did she leave with an injury like that?â Evan was puzzled.
Didnât she say that sheâd hit herself multiple times, her bones had broken, and that she had to crawl into the living room? And in a mere afternoon, she could suddenly walk again?
âMr. Seet, your wifeâs injury was a surface wound, and it seems to have been treated before. Donât worry, she will recover soon.â
Surface wounds? Treated before? But all that blood on her bodyâ¦
Evan clenched his fists fiercely. That goddamned Nicole had lied to him again!
âMr. Seet, your wife, sheâ¦â
âIf I hear the word âwifeâ one more time, I will rip your bones apart!â roared Evan.
The way Evan gritted his teeth made the doctorâs heart tremble.
âYes, yes,â came the doctorâs reply.
Turning around, he hurriedly walked out of the ward and drove straight to Parkland Garden in a frenzy.
When he arrived at Nicoleâs residence, he rapped upon the door vigorously. Unfortunately, the place appeared to be deserted.
When he asked a neighbor, he was informed, âOh, theyâve moved. Theyâve just moved.â
âWhere did they move to?â
