There was a high chance that Maya was traumatized by her experience with the needles.
“Alright. Stop it,” Davin interjected. “We finally have the chance to let it all out on Susan. That’s enough for now.”
“Uncle Davin, are we going back to the Seet Residence?”
“Yes. It’s really late now so you guys had better head straight to bed when we return. You can’t fall asleep in class tomorrow, understand?”
“Okay.”
Imperial Garden was quiet once more.
While Evan was taking a bath, Nicole sneaked away to see Susan. When the two women met, Nicole gasped. Susan was in utter shambles.
Davin and the kids really knew what they’re doing.
“You brought this upon yourself,” Nicole remarked.
Susan was sprawled on the floor when she heard Nicole’s voice. She used whatever remaining energy she had to look at Nicole, the face of the person she loathed the most.
If it were not for the wounds on her body, Susan would have jumped at Nicole and attacked her. At that moment, Susan wanted to say something and curse at Nicole, but the only thing that came out of her mouth were unrecognizable murmurs.
She can’t talk anymore? Nicole’s forehead creased.
After a while of murmuring, Susan’s resentful expression slowly turned into an uncanny and sinister smile.
What’s she smiling about? Nicole was puzzled.
Susan proceeded to use her own blood to write a message. You’ll join me in hell! The hallucinations will be your demise!
When she finished, she looked up at Nicole with maddening satisfaction in her hateful eyes.
Nicole was not fazed. Pathetic. You chose the wrong path and ended up paying your life for it. You have no one but yourself to blame.
At the moment, the only thing on her mind was to stop Susan from harming her kids. Nicole immediately rushed out to retrieve a knife from the study room. She slowly approached Evan.
“I’ll kill you! I’m gonna kill you!” She repeated furiously before plunging the knife into Evan with her trembling hands.
Evan was startled by Nicole’s muttering. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the shine of the blade as well as Nicole’s murderous gaze. As the knife came down, he quickly dodged to the side. Nevertheless, Nicole still slashed his arm.
“Nicole, you…”
“I’m gonna kill you! You hurt my children. You must die!”
Evan immediately understood what was going on. “Nicole, it’s me! I’m the kids’ father, I will never hurt them.”
“I’m gonna kill you!”
Nicole was completely cut off and unable to hear anything Evan said. “Madness” had completely taken over as she attempted to plunge the knife into Evan again.
