His words fell like a ton of bricks onto Melanie as tears continued to stream down her face. She looked extremely pitiful.
Hanson moved to leave, and Melanie immediately screeched, "No! Hanson, don't…"
She threw all caution to the wind and ran forward to hug him.
Melanie had never been this close to Hanson before. After feeling the warmth that emanated from his body, she craved it even more.
However, Hanson shoved her away, took off his suit jacket, and threw it away in disgust.
Melanie stumbled and fell onto the ground.
She could tell that there was no point in begging Hanson any longer.
She immediately climbed to her feet and stumbled over to Morales and Morgan. While grabbing their arms tightly, she said bleakly, "You can't leave me. I won't let anyone keep us apart."
Melanie had gripped their arms too tightly. The boys were already frightened by the ordeal in the first place, and now they began to cry in alarm once more.
"Mommy, you're hurting us," the boy stammered and gasped.
Melanie was not in the frame of mind to consider anything else. She cried out hysterically, "Hurry up and swear! Swear that you won't leave me! Swear that no one can keep us apart!"
The crazy look in her eyes would frighten anyone who saw her.
The boys were petrified by her hysterics. Their eyes widened in fear and they could not say a word as they quivered violently.
All they did was cry, and Melanie grew even more maniacal. "Promise me! Quickly! Hurry up and promise me!"
She kept shaking them as she continued to hound them.
Morales and Morgan were so terrified that they kept retreating and instinctively tried to look for Vania.
Vania pulled them over to her and patted them gently on the back to comfort them. "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
The boys felt secure in her arms and slowly stopped crying.
Melanie was driven mad with jealousy when she saw the way the boys were leaning into Vania's embrace.
She pounced on them and shrieked at Vania, "Don't you dare take them away from me! I'm the only one who can be their Mommy. It was decided right from the start that they would never be yours!"
Her choice of words was unusually specific, but amid the chaos, Vania did not manage to catch it.
When Vania saw the frenzied state Melanie was in, she said icily, "Don't hurt the children."
Was Melanie willing to listen? Absolutely not. She was deathly afraid that Vania would take the kids away and she would lose all chance of being with Hanson.
She clawed at Vania like a feral beast as she tried to pull the boys back over to her.
In the process, her nails had dug into Vania's arms so deeply that it cut her skin, and the wound was bleeding out in a rather frightening manner.
Vania's expression turned grim and she shoved Melanie away with all her strength before hiding the boys behind her protectively.
Once Hanson saw that Vania was bleeding, he dashed forward and kicked Melanie to the ground. "It hurts…" she howled in pain as she turned her pleading eyes toward Hanson in hope that he would let her off.
Unfortunately for her, Hanson did not pay any attention to her screams. His heart ached when he saw the state of Vania's arm, and his foot stepped down on Melanie even harder. She began to shriek in agony once more.
However, all her screeching did nothing to sway Hanson as he did not even look at her. Instead, he looked at Morales and Morgan and said commandingly, "From now on, Vania is your Mommy."
