A Test For Wilbur
Evan was silent for a moment before he said, “There are indeed such rumors out there. However, it’s
actually very easy to find out the truth.”
“What do you want to do?” Nicole frowned.
“Talk to him using another identity.”
“Another identify?” Nicole did not quite understand what he meant, but she wanted to be a part of it too.
“How are you going to do that? Do you need my help?”
Evan smiled slightly. “Sure. Maya is your daughter too. You should play your role in this as well.”
“What can I do?” asked Nicole curiously. She could not wait to find out what Evan was actually planning
to do.
Evan motioned for her to come forward with a mysterious look on his face. Nicole quickly finished
applying the last bit of cream on her face and walked up to him. “What do you want to do? What can I
do for you?”
Evan pulled her into his arms. “I want to… sleep.”
As his warm breath brushed against her ear, Nicole sighed at his tactics that were getting better by the
day.
The next day, Juan and Kyle left early in the morning after breakfast. Maya left for the food plaza too,
leaving Nina, Evan, and Nicole at home.
Evan put a glass of milk in front of Nicole. “Don’t go to the hospital this morning. We have something
important to do.”
“Is it about Wilbur?” asked Nicole after a moment of silence.
“Yes.” Evan then turned to look at Nina. “Nina, please help me and your mother put on some makeup
after breakfast!”
Nina was deep in her thoughts about the heart transplant surgery and was not paying attention to what
Evan said. Therefore, she did not respond.
What’s wrong with her? Nicole wondered.
“Nina, your daddy’s talking to you,” reminded Nicole.
Nina finally came back to her senses. “Sorry? Daddy, what did you say?”
“Nina, are you okay? Did you get into any trouble?”
Nina shook her head.
However, she recalled how she had overheard Evan mention that Chris was a good man. Does Daddy
know about what happened to Chris?
She tried to calm herself down and asked, “Daddy, do you think heart transplant surgery is painful?”
Hearing her mention “heart transplant surgery,” Nicole became nervous. Evan frowned too. Has Nina
found out that Chris gave his heart to someone? Why did she suddenly bring this up?
“Nina, why are you suddenly asking about that? Is someone having that surgery?” asked Nicole,
pretending to be puzzled by her question.
Nina was observant enough to notice that both Evan and Nicole panicked after hearing her question.
That made her have a stronger feeling that they knew something.
“I just heard that someone in the company had this surgery before. I was curious.” She then lowered
her head and continued eating her breakfast.
Evan and Nicole exchanged glances. Has Nina found out something?
Nina got up after only a few bites. “Daddy, Mommy, what kind of makeup do you want? I’ll go get my
tools.”
Evan thought for a moment and said, “To make us look different from our usual appearance and more
like ordinary people.”
Nina nodded and went upstairs to get her makeup tools.
Nicole looked at her back and whispered to Evan, “Nina looks down today, and she just asked about
the heart transplant. Do you think she’s found out something?”
Evan’s expression turned solemn. “I don’t think she knows about that yet. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be
so calm. But from her demeanor and the question that she asked us just now, I think she’s found out
something. I’m just not sure what that is.”
“Then what should we do?”
