Evan ducked and dived as Nicole chased him around the house. Everyone was stupefied by the commotion in front of them.
Did they get into an argument?
She’s using a knife?
Mr. Seet’s arm is bleeding. Did Mrs. Seet do that?
What’s going on?
Everyone there immediately tried to stop Nicole, only to be stopped by Evan in turn. “Nobody shall touch her. She has a knife. If you try to intervene, you’ll either hurt yourself or hurt her.”
The maids could only watch Evan dodging around as they tried to figure out what had happened to Nicole.
You’re married! Why would you threaten his life over an argument?
As Nicole once again lunged at Evan, he was able to do a quick sidestep and deliver a swift chop on the back of her neck. Finally, the confrontation ended with Nicole falling unconscious into Evan’s arms.
“Mr. Evan, you’re injured.”
“It’s just a scratch.”
Evan was unconcerned about his wound and carried Nicole back to the bedroom.
The butler immediately called the family doctor, who arrived soon after to treat Evan’s injury.
“Mr. Seet, this is a deep cut.”
“It’s fine. I’ll be staying at home anyway. It won’t be too much of a hassle.”
The doctor secretly let out a sigh. Mrs. Seet’s situation right now is really tricky.
“Mr. Seet, why don’t we admit Mrs. Seet into a hospital? It’s too dangerous to leave her like this.” The doctor was being extremely serious.
“No need. I’ll be more mindful about it.”
Evan’s response left the doctor speechless. The doctor understood Evan was worried that something might happen to Nicole inside the hospital.
When he left, the doctor suddenly remembered that Nicole had baited out some information from him, and was wondering whether he should turn back to tell Evan.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Sophia, asking him to head to the Seet Residence.
The doctor pondered for a while and decided to go to Sophia first. I’ll tell him next time. Getting him angry right now would be the worst choice ever.
At the Seet Residence.
Sophia had already caught wind of what happened at Imperial Garden——that Evan was injured.
Despite knowing clearly that the root cause of the incident was Nicole’s hallucinations, Sophia was still worried about Evan.
“How’s Evan? Is it serious?”
“His injury has been treated; it’s nothing too serious.”
The moment the doctor finished, Sophia let out a heavy sigh. “This is too dangerous. She even used a knife this time. Thank goodness it was just his arm! I-I don’t know what I would do if something were to happen to Evan.”
She had mixed feelings about the situation and was really agitated.
On one hand, Sophia felt very sorry for what happened to Nicole. On the other hand, however, she had to consider her son’s well-being. Any mother in the world would be afraid to have a ticking time bomb like Nicole beside their children.
Do I have to think of something to separate them?
As soon as that idea popped into her head, Sophia felt appalled. How could I ever think that! They’ve gone through so much hardship and suffering to be with each other. I’m a terrible person!
Sophia became really frustrated with herself because of that.
After the doctor left, she brought this up with Murphy.
“Her situation right now is as good as dead,” Murphy let out a sigh. “Evan’s being stubborn here. With his status, he could get any woman out there. Why suffer together with her? Nicole won’t live long. In the end, Evan will have suffered for nothing.”
Sophia’s heart ached. “When she goes crazy, she would hurt Evan and the kids. But then she forgets everything when she snaps out of it. Does she suffer at all?”
“Of course. Whenever she starts hallucinating, her body as well as her mind take a heavy toll. She’s going at Evan for now, but it won’t be long before she starts hurting herself. If things become severe enough, she might even commit suicide.”
