Sophia was really surprised after hearing about the circumstances.
“Tiffany’s child is actually not adopted, but her own flesh and blood? Do you mean to say Levant is in a relationship with a divorcee who brings along a child? What nonsense!” she shouted in disbelief.
She was really lost for words.
Nicole was surprised as well. “Do you think there could be hidden reasons behind this?” she broke the silence and asked tactfully.
Sophia sighed. “No matter what, I must inform Murphy that Levant is in love with a divorcee now. If not, I can’t imagine how I could explain to him should anything happen later!”
Without hesitating, she dialed Murphy’s number.
Murphy was infuriated with what Sophia told him.
Thud! He threw his phone hard on the floor.
“Oh, my! What kind of sin have I committed in my past life that I’m now being tortured with these two idiots!” Murphy groaned in despair.
“How could Avril be so shameless to seduce Stephen! What a disgrace!” he roared and his body trembled in anger.
“Levant, too, is really a fool! He has finally given up on pursuing Stephen’s daughter, but he’s now in a relationship with a divorcee? There are countless charming women for him to choose from. Any one of them would be far better than that woman. He’s really an idiot!” he yelled again.
“Damn these two troublemakers! Do they not have any sense of shame? If I were to foresee all these, I wouldn’t have let them live till now!”
He roared with teeth clenched, yet it did not help to ease his anger at all.
“I must go and ask them if they really are my flesh and blood!”
He ordered his men to arrange for his return trip home as soon as possible.
Nicole was in a gloomy mood after she came back from a follow-up session at the hospital.
Her face was recovering quite well, but when asked if there would be a scar on her face, the doctor replied that it could only be confirmed after her wound was fully healed later.
“Evan, do you think there will be a scar on my face?” Nicole was concerned.
“Don’t worry too much. Even if there is a scar later, our Nina can surely work her magic. Your scar will be invisible after she applies her perfect makeup on you,” Evan comforted her patiently.
Nicole was still moody and did not know what to say.
She was feeling insecure, as if something unexpected was going to happen.
It was not a matter of whether Evan would feel disgusted by her scar, but her confidence was greatly shaken by Levant’s words.
Oh goodness, I’m so worried that my scar would affect Evan. He is such an outstanding and successful man. If the media finds out he is married to a woman with scar on her face, this will certainly become breaking news!
Moreover, those women who are so fond of him will surely grab the opportunity to approach and lure him. Oh no, what am I supposed to do?
“Don’t worry, I’m sure there won’t be any scars.” Evan consoled her again.
He convinced her that he had been looking for a specialist and believed that her wound would heal properly.
Before Nicole could really give a sigh of relief, she recalled the hallucination issue which had been bothering her.
“These few days I tend to poke holes into my food before eating, just to test its safety. This seems to be working and I’m not having any hallucinations so far,” she told Evan thankfully.
The hallucinations actually did not disappear.
She was just unaware of it whenever she had hallucinations.
Evan recalled that Nicole once hallucinated out of a sudden. She threw tantrum at him with punches and kicks. However, she could not recall anything after she woke up from her sleep.
He even called the doctor regarding Nicole’s hallucinations. The doctor recommended that she undergo a checkup if she were to hallucinate again, in hopes of detecting the root cause of the problem.
Seeing him stunned and motionless, Nicole lightly patted his shoulder and interrupted his line of thought.
“Evan, are you alright?” Nicole asked in concern.
“Nothing actually, I’m going out for a while later, just come along with me,” Evan answered gently.
Nicole shook her head after thinking for a while.
She told Evan, “It’s alright. I won’t join you since you’re having a work discussion. I feel like staying at home for a good rest.”
Seeing the lethargy on Nicole’s face, Evan nodded and said softly, “Alright, you just have a good rest at home. I will be back once my discussion is over.”
Before he left, he kept reminding Nina and Kyle to look after Nicole and not leave her alone. If something was not right, they must call him immediately.
Both of them nodded obediently.
“Daddy, don’t worry. You can rely on us.”
“We will look after Mommy well,” both of them said confidently.
After Evan left, Nina accompanied her mother all the time and even offered to teach her makeup skills.
Nicole was actually planning to take a nap. Seeing Nina so keen in teaching her makeup skills, she changed her mind and gladly listened to her.
Nina took out two mannequin heads: one for her mother and the other one for herself. After that, she took out her makeup tools and patiently led her mother step by step.
