Kyle looked at Davin coolly. His arrogant expression was basically screaming, I can handle it. Don’t be a busybody.
Juan gazed at him innocently. He rubbed his butt pitifully while tears threatened to spill from his eyes.
It seemed like he was asking for help.
Juan’s pitiful gaze tugged at Davin’s heartstrings. He was about to plead on behalf of them when Evan announced, “Take them to their bedroom. It’s time-out for the both of them!”
Davin had to swallow his words. He couldn’t be of help, so he left after seeing his nephews being escorted back to their room.
The only one who could save them was their Mommy.
After returning to the rear house, he consoled the girls while calling Nicole.
As her phone kept ringing, Nicole completed the treatment for her current patient before going to her phone. Once she saw Davin’s name, she answered.
“Nicole, are you busy?”
“Of course. I have a lot of patients today. Do you need me?”
“Nicole, you have to stop what you’re doing right now. Stay calm, for I have something to say to you.”
Nicole was filled with dread upon realizing how solemn Davin sounded. Did something happen to the kids?
She urged, “Say it!”
After Davin finished his explanation, she felt her legs turn to jelly. At once, she gripped the patient’s bed for support.
Why did the kids do that to Sylphiette? She’s now Evan’s lover. He won’t forgive them for shoving her into the pond.
She calmed herself down before going to Rocky to ask for a day off. Then, she rushed to the car park, got into her battered car and sped towards Rose Garden.
Throughout the journey, she frantically tried to guess how Evan would punish them.
The daredevils should be punished. But what if Sylphiette resorted to dirty tricks to avenge herself? Then the kids will not only be punished, but they will also get tortured by her!
Nicole couldn’t help but recall how Sylphiette and Sylvia tortured her like wetting her blanket during winter and hiding needles in her clothes. She shuddered at that thought.
She arrived at Rose Garden shortly after. Before she could go to the rear house, Evan called out to her.
She knew she should take responsibility for what the kids had done, so she put on an apologetic expression and headed to Evan, fully prepared to receive his wrath.
“Mr. Seet.”
Evan’s dark gaze swept across her.
“I demand an explanation.”
Just now, Sylphiette had bawled sadly in front of him and even mentioned her childhood in an attempt to make him help her.
When Sylphiette whined and mentioned about their shared memories, Evan couldn’t help but feel bad because he had promised the little girl that he’d protect her when they were young.
However, she got harmed in his own house!
Hence, he promised her he’d get to the bottom of this.
Nicole fell silent before she met his gaze. “They deserve to be punished. Mr. Seet, what do you think works best?”
“Only the kids deserve to be punished?”
Nicole knew what he was insinuating.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. She knew that all too well. But besides Kyle, the other kids were brought up by her. So if he tried to pin it on her…
“Mr. Seet, so what do you think the kids and I shall do?”
“I’ll punish Juan and Kyle myself. You can punish your own daughters. Plus, you need to apologize to Sylphiette!”
Apologize to Sylphiette?
I won’t do so! Even if I apologize to her, she won’t forgive me and might even nitpick on me!
