Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 208

Jordan squatted in front of the kids, patting on their shoulders. "Could you knock on the door? Mr. Marsh's hand is bleeding. I want to bandage it for him." He sounded like he was asking them for their permission.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened.

Ivan appeared at the door. "Come in." He didn't want to worry his children as he had heard them call him earlier.

"Daddy!"

"Ehn," he answered.

The children had no idea their mother was gone and asked him worriedly, "How did you get hurt, Daddy?"

The wound on his right hand was scabbed partially, but blood was still oozing. The children could feel his pain by just looking at it.

Without answering them, Ivan walked into his bedroom.

Jordan followed him, and so did the children.

Sitting on a couch next to the window, Ivan looked depressed, although he had tried to repress it in his children's presence.

Jordan squatted in front of him, opened the first-aid kit, and held his bloody hand. He started to sterilize the wound.

"I'll be gentle," said Jordan with concern.

Ivan replied, "I wouldn't mind if it was not bandaged." The little pain was nothing compared to the pang in his heart.

The children stood beside him, boldly holding his arm to cooperate with Jordan while watching.

"Daddy, what happened? Did you fight with someone?" Alfie looked at him in confusion. "Did you lose?"

Ivan stared at him, rubbing his head. "I didn't have a fight." Then he asked gently, "Alfie, Diana, where has Mommy gone? Do you know her whereabouts?"

Alfie thought for a while and exchanged a glance with Diana.

Diana asked, "Is she gone?"

Alfie asked, "That's really quick, isn't it?"

Ivan frowned, realizing the children might know her whereabouts. Hope appeared in his eyes again.
