Maya kept quiet. She didn’t want to leave her Daddy, who had been hugging her to sleep in the past few days, but she couldn’t bring herself to tell her Mommy that either.
Meanwhile, Nina was disappointed. So Mommy’s still going back to Wicked Palace…
“Mommy, are you going to have another wedding with Mr. Levant?”
Our wedding got canceled halfway through. Knowing Levant, he’d definitely want to have another one. Nicole thought to herself.
“Yeah, in a few days.”
Maya and Nina exchanged glances. Mommy’s gonna have another wedding in a few days? What should we do?
“This is some good quality waterproof paint, Nina. It looks just like the real thing! Did the makeup artist do this for you?” Nicole asked while staring at the wound.
Nina froze. Did Mommy notice something off about the wound?
Just then, Maya replied, “Nina bought the paint herself. Juan provided her with the money for it.”
Juan had a part in this as well? So he didn’t actually faint, then!
“Maya! Why would you betray us?”
“I…I didn’t mean to! I-It just slipped!”
Nina shot her a fierce glare. “You can’t do anything right!”
Maya lowered her head and didn’t dare say another word.
Looking at her crestfallen face, Nicole patted her on the head. What on earth happened while I was away? This is the first time Maya hasn’t punched anyone after being insulted! My poor baby looks so scared!
“Nina, you should be nicer to your sister.”
Heeding to her mother, Nina glanced at Maya, who was nervously rubbing her chubby hands together.
“All right, Mommy.”
“Good girl. Now, hurry up and wash off your fake wounds while I go take a look at Juan.”
The two nodded. Nina pulled out a bottle of makeup remover from her pocket, and they began washing the paint off their arms.
Juan was lying completely still when Nicole entered the ward.
Wow, still keeping the act up? That’s some dedication right there! Now, how shall I wake him up?
Nicole gave it some thought and pinched Juan on the nose, much to his confusion.
Why is Mommy doing this to me? I can’t hold my breath any longer…
Juan opened his mouth and began taking deep breaths, but he kept his eyes shut tight.
He’s a lot more persistent than I thought… In that case…
Nicole let out a huge sigh and said, “They say you should let the unconscious person lie naked on the balcony. The sunlight and fresh air will help wake them up. I wonder if that’s true…”
As soon as Nicole finish, Juan tensed up.
Is Mommy seriously going to have me lie naked on the balcony in front of everyone? That’ll be embarrassing!
“Hmm… Oh well, no harm in giving it a try! Who knows, it might just work!” Nicole said and began undressing Juan.
After taking his shirt off, Nicole rubbed his flat stomach and sighed. “Look at how skinny you are… You should be like Maya and eat a little more!”
Juan felt disgusted at the mere thought of himself having a round tummy like Maya. No way! I’m sticking to my current diet!
“I should probably get those pants off him too. The air circulation seems great in the corridor. That ought to help him wake up faster!”
There’s a lot of people passing by in the corridor, Mommy! Are you seriously going to humiliate me like this?
Juan quickly grabbed hold of his shorts to stop Nicole from pulling them off.
