Nina frowned. Is she really Mommy? Why is she so skinny? Wait… Is she that skinny woman disguising
herself as Mommy? Hmm… This doesn’t look like a mask though…
Maya too, stared wide-eyed at Nicole. Is she really Mommy? Why does she look so pale? Just what did
she go through?
Nicole reached out her skinny hands and patted them on the head. “Nina, Maya, it’s Mommy!”
The two broke into tears and hugged her after hearing that familiar voice of hers. “Mommy…”
“We’ve missed you, Mommy…”
“I’ve missed you all too!” Nicole shot Evan a glance and continued, “I’m that woman you were all calling a
homewrecker, so stop pressuring your Daddy, okay?”
Nina and Maya wiped their tears off. “We’re sorry, Mommy! We shouldn’t have called you a
homewrecker! Daddy, we’re sorry for misunderstanding you!”
“It’s alright, Daddy doesn’t blame you.”
The two then held Nicole’s hands and asked her what she had been through as well as her current
condition, all of which she answered honestly.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Nina, I won’t bite you anymore now that my hallucinations have been treated.”
“Why are you so skinny, Mommy?”
“It’s just a side effect of my treatment, that’s all. I’ll be okay after nursing myself back to health. I was
planning to see you guys after I’m fully recovered so you’d all get to see a beautiful and healthy Mommy.”
Nicole tried to brush it off casually.
“You always look beautiful to us, Mommy!”
“Yeah! You’re the prettiest person in the world, Mommy!”
Nicole let out a smile of relief and hugged her daughters tightly until Evan spoke up, “Nicole, it’s time for
you to get some rest. Maya, go make your Mommy something nutritious, okay?”
The two kids then got to work in the kitchen while Evan remained in the room with Nicole.
Recalling his behavior and actions earlier, Nicole asked, “Evan… You didn’t lose your memories, did
you?”
Evan tensed up. Oh, crap! I got so worked up by their crying earlier that I forgot about the whole memory
loss and Wicca poison act!
He quickly got to his feet and tried to explain himself, “Ah, about that… I just regained my memories all of
a sudden! I didn’t even realize it until you pointed it out, Nicole!”
Just regained your memories? Like hell I’d believe that!
Nicole kept quiet and simply stared at him, waiting to see what other excuses he would come up with.
Unable to figure out what she was playing at, Evan pretended to wince in pain and discomfort. “I think
the poison is acting up again… I’d better go take my medicine…”
He then quickly went into his bedroom upstairs, but Nicole followed him inside before he could close the
door and stood there eyeing him from head to toe.
I know for sure he’s faking his memory loss, but I’ve yet to confirm if he was also lying about the
poisoning… His face is somewhat pale, but he doesn’t seem to be acting like someone who’s been
poisoned.
Nicole couldn’t really conclude anything due to the lack of evidence, so she decided to have a look at the
medicine he was taking. “Show me this medicine of yours, Mr. Seet!”
Evan paused for a moment before handing her a bottle of pills from the shelf. She’s well-versed in
acupuncture, but she doesn’t really know much about medicine. I wonder if she’ll fall for this…
