Three of them quickly made their way toward the stage. The moment they were about to make their move, however, they saw Maya and Nina running into the hall.
“Mommy, help!”
“We’re going to die, Mommy! Help us!”
The kids were smart. After they successfully made their way into the wedding venue, they took off their jackets and masks and started to shout and wail.
Maya’s loud wails caught the attention of the guests.
“What’s happening?”
“I don’t know. Whose children are they?”
“They went up to the stage. Could they be the bride’s children?”
“……”
While the guests were busy murmuring amongst themselves, Nicole ran towards them. She was dumbfounded once she had taken a good look at her daughters.
“Nina, Maya! What on earth happened to you two?”
Maya’s face was bruised and there were bloody wounds on her arms.
Nina was pale and she looked like she had been choked, judging by the marks on her neck. Like Maya, Nina also had wounds on her arms.
Both of them looked at Nicole pitifully and said, “Mommy, it hurts. Please save us!”
“Don’t cry, Maya. Tell Mommy what happened.”
The little girl burst into tears but said nothing.
“Tell me, Nina. What happened? Who hit you?”
“The bad woman hit us, Mommy. Please save us. We’re going to be beaten to death by her.”
Nicole frowned. Who is this bad woman Nina is talking about?
Levant went to them and glanced at the time. “Nicole, I’ll have someone send them to the hospital. Once the wedding ceremony is over, we’ll go and visit them.”
