After twenty minutes, the doctor rushed to the rear house to treat Nicole.
Her fever was so bad that the doctor suggested using an IV drip.
Nicole was in such a hazy state she could not make any decisions. She just wanted something so she
could recover in time to take care of her children.
After the IV drip was set up, the sight of the liquid flowing into her body made both Nina and Maya’s
hearts ache tremendously, while Kyle and Juan did not leave her bedside at all.
Nicole smiled contentedly as she looked at her children. Suddenly, she remembered that they hadn’t
had breakfast.
“Nina, go and see if there is anything to eat and take Maya to grab a bite. Otherwise, eat some biscuits
first. When I am done with the IV drip, I’ll get up and cook something for you all.”
“Mommy, we will take care of ourselves.”
“Mommy, are you hungry?”
Nicole shook her head and thought bitterly. There isn’t even one person that can take care of my
children when I am down.
Why can’t I be made out of metal, so that I will never fall sick and I can always be available for my
children?
“Mommy, I am going to get some biscuits. You should have some later too.”
Nina walked out and suddenly ran into a person on her way out. She retreated in shock only to look up
and realize that it was Evan.
Mommy is in this state now because of him! Right now, the sight of him made Nina feel like she had
met her enemy.
She growled at him. “What are you doing here?”
He had never gotten along with that kid. In fact, Evan could not even be bothered to talk to her as he
walked around her to get into the room.
His face fell a little when he saw how pale Nicole was as she lay on the bed.
For someone who would never admit defeat, she looked rather weak and sickly right now.
Her eyes were half closed and she remained silent. For one, she was really completely fatigued and
did not want to say anything at all.
Secondly, she had no energy to retort him if he tried to make things difficult for her. Hence, it was better
to just ignore him.
“The doctor says you have a very bad fever.”
Evan walked in front of her and looked down at her.
Nicole used every ounce of her energy to hold back the simmering anger in her heart. Would I have
such a bad fever had I not soaked in the cold water for so long?
What a joke, for the perpetrator to say all these.
She decided to just shut her eyes and ignore him.
Evan was taken aback. There was no reply nor curt retort from Nicole, which was completely unlike
her.
“I hope that you will remember this lesson and in the future, do not do what you are not supposed to
do.”
Nicole understood this very well. It was a warning for her to leave him alone and to stop attempting to
get close to him.
All she wanted to do was to see if there were any bite marks on his shoulder; it wasn’t what he thought
it was!
I am really not a slut!
However, she could not explain herself either.
If there were no bite marks on his shoulders, she would just sound like she was fabricating a random
excuse for her terrible behavior. What would Evan say then?
Yes, he would just say that she was full of lies and just made up stories as she liked.
Seeing that Nicole was still silent, Evan assumed that she had nothing to say. As long as she
remembered the lesson, it didn’t matter whether she said anything anymore.
He shot her another glance and walked out of the house.
He had just taken a few steps when the sight of Maya sitting on the sofa made him stop in his tracks.
Juan and Kyle ate just now but Maya definitely had nothing yet. Also, Nina, the one who did not like
him too much, definitely hadn’t eaten too.
“Two of you, come with me and have something to eat.”
Maya was lying down on the sofa when she heard that. Her eyes lit up as she envisioned a huge grilled
chicken thigh.
Swiftly, she plopped her little round body off the sofa and ran to his side.
However, Nina completely ignored him as if she did not hear him at all. If anything, her attitude was
very similar to Nicole’s.
Since it was not appreciated he would not force her as well.
Evan glanced at Nina and as he walked out of the room hand-in-hand with Maya.
At that moment from her bed, Nicole was feeling extremely conflicted.
She had felt very annoyed and uncomfortable when Evan misunderstood her, but here he was asking
both Nina and Maya to eat on his own accord. For some reason, she felt very warm inside.
