There was a high chance that Maya was traumatized by her experience with the needles.
“Alright. Stop it,” Davin interjected. “We finally have the chance to let it all out on Susan. That’s enough
for now.”
“Uncle Davin, are we going back to the Seet Residence?”
“Yes. It’s really late now so you guys had better head straight to bed when we return. You can’t fall
asleep in class tomorrow, understand?”
“Okay.”
Imperial Garden was quiet once more.
While Evan was taking a bath, Nicole sneaked away to see Susan. When the two women met, Nicole
gasped. Susan was in utter shambles.
Davin and the kids really knew what they’re doing.
“You brought this upon yourself,” Nicole remarked.
Susan was sprawled on the floor when she heard Nicole’s voice. She used whatever remaining energy
she had to look at Nicole, the face of the person she loathed the most.
If it were not for the wounds on her body, Susan would have jumped at Nicole and attacked her. At that
moment, Susan wanted to say something and curse at Nicole, but the only thing that came out of her
mouth were unrecognizable murmurs.
She can’t talk anymore? Nicole’s forehead creased.
After a while of murmuring, Susan’s resentful expression slowly turned into an uncanny and sinister
smile.
What’s she smiling about? Nicole was puzzled.
Susan proceeded to use her own blood to write a message. You’ll join me in hell! The hallucinations will
be your demise!
When she finished, she looked up at Nicole with maddening satisfaction in her hateful eyes.
Nicole was not fazed. Pathetic. You chose the wrong path and ended up paying your life for it. You
have no one but yourself to blame.
Nicole took a deep breath and left the scene. She decided that she never wanted to see Susan ever
again.
At dawn, Nicole had a horrifying dream. In it, Susan had a knife with her and was cutting the children,
one after another, with a hysterical smile on her face.
The children’s cries echoed in her ears. Her heart ached from being unable to anything. “Nina, Maya…
Juan… Kyle!”
Nicole instantly sat up. Beads of sweat formed all over her face. Her eyes were bloodshot.
The scenes in her dream kept replaying in her head. At the same time, her heart started to race amid
the cries of her children and the bloody mess before her.
Instinctively, Nicole clenched her fists and looked towards Evan, only to jump in shock. Evan was not
beside her. In her eyes, Evan had become Susan.
She looked at him closely and repeatedly muttered, “Susan, don’t you dare harm my children. Don’t
you dare…”
As Nicole repeated those words, the scene of Susan cutting the children flashed before her eyes once
again. She could no longer tell whether it was all in her head or if it actually happened.
She grew anxious. Susan was hurting her children, after all.
At the moment, the only thing on her mind was to stop Susan from harming her kids. Nicole
immediately rushed out to retrieve a knife from the study room. She slowly approached Evan.
“I’ll kill you! I’m gonna kill you!” She repeated furiously before plunging the knife into Evan with her
trembling hands.
Evan was startled by Nicole’s muttering. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the shine of the
blade as well as Nicole’s murderous gaze. As the knife came down, he quickly dodged to the side.
Nevertheless, Nicole still slashed his arm.
“Nicole, you…”
“I’m gonna kill you! You hurt my children. You must die!”
Evan immediately understood what was going on. “Nicole, it’s me! I’m the kids’ father, I will never hurt
them.”
“I’m gonna kill you!”
Nicole was completely cut off and unable to hear anything Evan said. “Madness” had completely taken
over as she attempted to plunge the knife into Evan again.
