Five minutes later, “Ouch..” she yelped, making all four children run into the kitchen.
Juan rushed to the kitchen and asked worriedly, “Mommy, what happened?”
“Mommy accidentally burnt herself,” she whimpered, showing the children her injured hands.
Maya took one look at her blistered hand and felt extremely sympathetic.
“Mommy, I can blow on it for you to ease your pain.”
Kyle raised his eyebrows and commented, “Her injury is too severe. Call Daddy and ask him to bring Mommy to the hospital.”
“I’ll call him.”
When Evan heard that his wife had accidentally burnt herself, he instantly put his work to the side and rushed to Imperial Garden.
“Where did you burn yourself? Let me see,” he demanded.
Sylphiette looked at him anxiously and slowly stretched out her hand.
Evan looked at her blistered hand. She really has burnt herself. His heart bled for her.
“Let’s go to the hospital now,” he stated firmly.
With that, he immediately picked her up in his arms.
Sylphiette was a bundle of nerves. She leaned into his embrace and was just about to enjoy the comforting feeling when she was flung to the ground.
She picked herself up and stared at Evan in shock.
Could he have found out so quickly? Her heart pumped furiously.
“Did you put on perfume?” he queried.
Evan was extremely obsessed with cleanliness and detested the sharp smell of perfumes. He felt disgusted by the strong artificial scent and wanted to vomit.
Sylphiette stared at Evan, who was dry heaving and nodded her head. “Yes, I did spray on some perfume.”
“Don’t do it again,” he warned her.
Evan didn’t like the smell of perfume?
No wonder he put me down. Thank god he didn’t find out the truth. That really gave me a huge fright.
“Let’s go,” he replied.
Sylphiette intentionally sat in the backseat to keep a distance between her and Evan.
She was worried that the perfume would trigger him, and he would grow increasingly suspicious of her.
When they reached the hospital, the doctor examined her injury and treated her wound with antiseptic before wrapping it up tightly. He also prescribed her medicine and warned her to take better care of herself.
“I got it, Doctor. Thank you,” she answered.
“Get some rest when you head home,” he reminded.
Sylphiette was overjoyed when she had a reason to not cook for the whole family. She had managed to prevent her lie from being exposed.
The woman silently congratulated herself.
I’m so intelligent; I can easily replace Nicole.
From now on, I will take Nicole’s place. I will become Evan’s wife, the madam president of Seet Group, the mother of the four children, and Uncle Stephen’s daughter.
The plastic surgery was certainly worth it.
She grinned. Dad, I will play the role of Nicole well, and when Evan fully trusts me, I will rescue you.
You have suffered enough by being forced to labor away, begging for forgiveness after the car accident. Bear with it for a while more. I will come to rescue you.
Nina was staring at her. The young girl had been calling her name to no avail. Finally, Nina reached out and waved her hand in front of Sylphiette.
“Mommy, what are you thinking about?” she asked.
Sylphiette snapped back to reality and glanced at her impatiently. “Nothing. Go and have fun,” she replied.
Nina stared at her. She definitely has something on her mind.
Since Mommy thinks I’m useless and cannot solve her problem, I’ll tell Daddy instead and get him to ask her what’s wrong.
Having heard about Nicole’s problems from Nina, Evan stopped working and walked out from the study room towards the living room.
He stared at “Nicole” from afar and involuntarily scrunched his brows.
She looks so weird… More indifferent than before. There’s even a manipulative glint in her eye. It makes her look unfamiliar.
What is she worrying about exactly?
Evan walked towards her and could vaguely smell her astringent perfume again. Hence, he stood a few steps away from her and sat on the sofa next to her.
