After dinner, Everly bathed two children respectively.
However, Edmond did not want his mother to help him take a bath. Instead, he chose to bathe with Maverick.
Everly really wanted to strengthen their relationship right now, so she naturally agreed.
Then she took Candy to take a bath.
The little Princess said that she wanted to take a bubble bath. Everly took a look and saw that there was everything in the bathroom. The servants who took care of her all year round were also there. She happily told Everly the specific things, "Miss Candy likes bubble baths very much, just like all little girls like to play with bubbles. So, Mr. Maverick has always asked people to prepare these. Miss Everly, can I help you?"
Everly smiled and said, "No, I can do it."
The servant did not say more and left directly.
Everly helped Candy get everything done and then helped the little girl take off her clothes. Only then did she carry Candy into the bathtub.
This was also the first time she had come into close contact with Candy, but she suddenly found that this little Princess, who looked chubby and delicate, had deep marks on the veins of her arms, as if she had been pierced many times by some needle or something.
Although Everly did not a doctor, her mother, Gloria, had indeed worked in the hospital before.
When she was a child, she often went to the hospital to find her mother who had not gotten off.
She probably knew that these scars reveal the place where the bone marrow was extracted when she was young.
But she was still uncertain because perhaps these scars were left by blood drawing rather than by bone marrow transplantation.
Moreover, the wound looked like it had been there for a long time. She thought, 'there must have been many times before, so there was an obvious scar.'
Everly felt feel sympathy for Candy.
She asked naturally, "Candy, when did this happen?"
Looking at her arm, Candy shook her head in confusion and said that she did not know.
Everly thought that Candy was only five years old now, and might not clearly remember everything. Moreover, no matter how smart Edmond was now, in fact, when he was a child a few years ago, he also did not remember what he did.
Everly didn't ask anymore but felt puzzled.
Looking at the naked Candy, she felt happy for no reason. Just as the old saying means that if you love someone, you'll love people and things relative to him as well. At this moment, it seemed that Candy was her child.
After carefully helping her take a bath, Everly dried her hair also.
It was late. Candy wanted to sleep. She had already wanted to close her big eyes. But she still didn't forget to hold Everly's hand and muttered, "Everly, can you sleep with me tonight?"
"Okay, Candy, close your eyes and go to sleep. I am here," Everly's said softly.
"Have breakfast with me tomorrow."
"Alright."
"Everly, can you tell me stories?"
"What stories do you usually hear?" Everly was in a dilemma. She thought, ' I had told the story to Edmond, but I didn't do that since Edmond was over three years old, now I don't know how to tell the story.'
Candy pointed to the drawer on the bedside table, "There is a storybook in it and you can read it to me."
Everly couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. As if he had been granted amnesty, she quickly found a fairy tale book and began to read it.
Candy was probably really sleepy. She completely fell asleep when Everly just read half of the book.
After sitting for a while, she lay on her side leaning against the little girl's back. Everly thought, 'Candy was so small, even smaller than Edmond. Her entire body was in my arms.'
Everly felt satisfied.
It is wonderful.
