Chapter 79: A Good Fighter
A few hours later in the Frontier Bay.
Amora went to the washroom on the second floor to put a cold towel on her bloated face.Hiss...
"Does it hurt?"
lan had been standing by the washroom's door the entire time.
When he heard his mommy hissing, he immediately tilted his tiny head up and stared at his mommy with worry glowing in his eyes.
Mommy got hurt because of me.
Will Matteo get mad when he finds out? The kid's tiny hand gripped the broken toy that he had snatched back.
He looked devastated, with guilt and remorse weighing down in his heart.
"It's fine, Little lan.See? It doesn't hurt at all.I was just hissing because of the cold.I accidentally froze myself with the ice water.’’
Amora sensed that the little guy's emotion was off, so she quickly crouched down beside him and cooed him.
lan tilted his head up and saw how his mommy's face was reddened and bloated.
He didn't know what to say, so after hesitating for a while, he approached her.
The kid had never done anything immature before, but he actually bulged his tiny lips and blew on his mommy's cheek.
Amora was momentarily stupefied.
What is my son doing? Is he blowing on my face to ‘blow away the pain’? Like his baby sister does? Vivi was practically a professional in playing a childish cutie pie.
Whenever she saw her mommy getting injured anywhere, she would rush over to blow on the cut and claimed that it would be fine soon.
Amora was touched by her son's gesture.
She reached out and held him in her arms.
"Little lan is such a good boy.I'm fine now.It's true.It doesn't feel bad at all.I will be fine as long as you are okay,’’ promised Amora as she suppressed the tears in her eyes and smiled.lan suddenly felt a little awkward.
However, he never struggled or broke free.He simply let his mommy hug him until he heard his daddy's voice.Daddy is home.
"Mr.Ronin, welcome home." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Where is lan?" asked Kane instantly.
The man was obviously still worried whether his son was traumatized.
"He's on the second floor.Ms.Rory is with him.Oh, and Mr.Ronin? I don't know what happened, but Ms.Rory's face is bloated.It looks as if someone has beaten her,’’ informed Wendy in a worried tone.
Ah, so Amora never told Wendy what happened? Kane scoffed and replied, "She deserves it."
Wendy was speechless.
She wanted to say something, but her young boss had already walked up the stairs by then.
As suspected, Kane heard the mother and son duo conversing in the nursery before he even saw them.
Amora asked, "Little lan, is there any make-up for women in the house? Can you get some for me? I need it to hide my injury so that no one will see it when I leave."
lan tilted his head up to stare at his mommy.
Mommy is probably worried about Matteo and my baby sister seeing her bloated face.The tiny thing that had been playing Lego looked up.
His warm brown eyes shone with a little guilt when he answered, "There's none."
"Huh? Are you sure there isn't any make-up in the house? How can that be? Err...Hasn't Ms.Hallie been staying here the entire time? It's unlikely that she doesn't have any make-up around here.Little lan, you can get some for me.I promise I won't use too much of it,’’ said Amora.
She didn't actually want to utter those words because the mere thought of using that vile woman's make-up disgusted Amora.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a choice.
If I don't hide my injury away, Matteo and Vivi will worry and ask about it when they see it.
Amora popped her head out and scanned her son, who was in the bedroom.
To her surprise, the boy, who had been playing with his toy, shook his head and insisted, "No.There's no lady living here."
Amora didn't know what to say.
She was stunned for a few seconds because she couldn't understand what she just heard.
No lady living here? Kane heard their conversation at that moment.
He pushed the door open and asked, "What are you doing?"
Gah! Amora saw him and was so surprised that she shut her mouth immediately.
She grabbed a random towel to hide her face.
D*mn it.
Why is this scum suddenly here? Shouldn't he be working in the office? Amora was a little nervous about seeing him at that moment because she was in a very embarrassing situation then.
In the end, she even needed him to show up and rescue her.
Gah, this feels awful.
lan saw his daddy there, so the former got up from the play area and greeted, "Daddy, you're back!"
Kane nodded.
His gaze calmly swept past the thin, crouching figure in the washroom before he stretched his long legs and went to his son.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
"Yeah,’ replied lan, as he nodded calmly.
Kane ruffled the kid's tiny head before getting up and walking to the washroom.
Amora couldn't speak.She simply hid inside the washroom.
