It was rare that I had no nightmares. I was sleeping soundly when I unexpectedly heard an unpleasant voice.
"Why the need to visit? If they’re not there, you can do whatever you want in the villa. Why bother?"
"Mom, how can you say that?"
It was obvious that Nicky and Hattie had come.
I could imagine Nicky coming over, but why was Hattie here?
Opening my eyes, I saw the people in front of me.
"Wanda, are you okay?" Nicky helped me sit up cautiously. She was afraid of bumping into where I was injured.
Seeing her soft actions, I smiled. "I’m not hurt."
Hattie was standing at the side while looking down at me with a sense of superiority from God knew where. "She already said she's fine, so why come at all? What's the purpose of making a special trip here?"
Hearing this, Nicky's face changed slightly. She turned around and stared at her, "Mom, didn't you make an appointment with Auntie? Why aren't you leaving for it yet?"
She glanced at the time, and her indifferent expression turned into panic. "Oops, I'm going to be late. I'll leave now. You be careful on the way back later."
After Hattie left, I felt like the ward was much cleaner, and my mood also improved.
"Wanda, my parents will be going back in two days." Nicky seemed to feel ashamed to face me because of her mother, so she hurriedly explained this to me.
"She's really unpleasant, but it doesn't matter. You can’t help that she's your mother. As long as she doesn’t do anything out of line, I'll respect her." My voice was not loud, just enough for Nicky to hear me.
Tyler came back at this moment. "Wandy, I just went out to answer a call. Who is this?"
"Nicky, my friend. Nicky, this is my brother, Tyler Schuman," I introduced them.
"Hello, Mr. Schuman."
