Seeing that flies on the boat, Justin coldly ordered someone to clean up the blood before he returned to A City.
Back home, Justin took a bath and lay down together with Eva, who had a maid with her but refused to sleep. Eva had been afraid to sleep before, after seeing Justin, she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep in a minute.
Early morning.
Justin opened his eyes, but found that Eva was not there with him, subconsciously he sat up with a start.
Eva wasn't in the room. Though it was impossible that Eva would be taken away, he was still nervous , "Eva?"
Maybe Eva was playing hike and seek, for kids liked to play childish games that they felt funny.
Just at this moment, Justin heard the sound from the bathroom. The closer he got, the more nervous he was. Lucia low voice was coming out of the bathroom.
Lucia smiled as she bathed Eva, who was playing with bubbles, giggling, "Mommy, do you get well now? I miss you so much. Daddy said you are sick, and when you are well, I can go to see you."
Lucia looked at the bruises all over Eva's body, she felt hard to breathe. She smiled and nodded through tears, "I am sick, will you resent me? Eva, I am sorry, did I hit you?"
Lucia felt guilty. She knew she was sick, but she didn't expect that she would hurt Eva badly, she was so inhuman!
She was a brute!
But Eva looked at her innocently, touching the tears on Lucia's face, explaining seriously in her soft voice, "Don't cry, Mommy, it's not you hit Eva. It's a demon turned into Mommy's appearance and hit Eva, but Daddy has beaten the demon away, no more demons will hit Eva ...... "
Lucia raised her head, her heart hurt so much, thinking she had become a demon when she was sick and beat her own child badly.
Lucia took the shower head and rinsed off the bubbles on Eva's body, "Eva, there will be no demons in the future. You must not separate from daddy, daddy will fight the demons, daddy will not let the demons bully Eva ......"
Justin walked to the bathroom door and called out to "Lucia". Lucia turned to look at Justin, gritting her teeth with tears in her eyes.
Justin pulled her away, "Eva accidentally fell, I ...... I ......"
Justin did not know what to do. He wanted to wait for Eva to get well before letting Lucia wake up, but sedatives were harmful, so he instructed the doctor to use fewer doses, however, he did not expect Lucia to wake up early.
Lucia got in Justin's arms, crying. Justin told the nanny to come in and take Eva out to play.
Justin hugged Lucia, "Lucia, it has nothing to do with you!"
