"Of course, I won't forget that. I'm just worried." Even though Dylan was keen on winning Vania back, he did not want to do anything that might backfire on him.
Melanie scoffed at how weak Dylan was being. "Nothing will go wrong as long as you follow my plan to the letter."
This plan of hers had been brewing for a long time now, and it was finally time to set it in motion.
She was going to make history repeat itself. This time, she would use Hanson's name to fool Vania into coming to the hotel room where she would have everything in place to ruin Vania once and for all.
Once that happened, Melanie would put all the blame on Vania and accuse her of being a loose woman with a salacious private life, and claim that Vania was trying to seduce Dylan to resume their old fling.
Melanie filled Dylan in on the entire plan before asking, "What do you think? Is there anything else you want to add or think we should prepare?"
Dylan nodded his agreement to the plan, but he did not seem enthused about it. "Let's just stick to your plan."
"Then make sure you follow it."
"Okay."
…
Meanwhile, Hanson and Vania brought Morales and Morgan to the hospital for a full-body check-up. Thankfully, the boys were fine.
Their emotions had settled too, so Hanson and Vania were relieved at last.
"Darlings, do you feel any discomfort?" Vania asked with concern.
"No." Morales and Morgan shook their heads dispiritedly.
"That's good. Let's go home now." Vania knew that the boys were feeling down right now, so she wanted to take them home at once so that they could return to a safe environment.
However, Hanson was still concerned about her hand. "Hang on."
"What's the matter?" Vania asked.
"You need to get your wounds checked."
"It's fine." She could deal with the scratches herself when they got back home, so they need not make a fuss about it.
Hanson ignored her protests. He left the boys with Larry while he took Vania by the hand and headed over to April's office.
"Hi, Hanson. Hi, Mrs. Luke…" April greeted them once he saw them walking in.
Hanson nodded and made Vania take a seat in front of April before saying to him, "Bring your kit over to dress her wounds."
April glanced at Vania's wounds out of the corner of his eye as he placed a medical kit beside Hanson. "How did you get injured, Mrs. Luke?"
He was preparing to dress Vania's wounds for her, but before he could start with disinfection, Hanson stopped him. "Go about your business." Hanson obviously wanted to dress Vania's wounds himself.
Vania glanced at the bandages on him and said, "You're still injured too. Don't push yourself too hard."
"I'm fine," Hanson insisted. There was never anything wrong with his hand anyway.
Vania cast a doubtful glance at April, as if to ask, Is he telling the truth?
April was caught by surprise. He did not have time to get his story straight with Hanson yet.
His frozen expression was clear for all to see, but he finally said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Luke. Hanson's fine."
"Uh huh." Vania gave them both a meaningful look before extending her hand.
She frowned when she saw the wounds on the back of her hand. They proved how vicious Melanie had been, as the scratches looked more like knife cuts instead.
Hanson's heart was aching too. Vania's fair skin made the dark red wound seem even more terrifying.
Mimicking what Vania had done for him, he began to blow on her wounds. "Would it feel better if I did this?"
