Chapter 54: Does it Still Hurt?
The two little ones displayed impeccable manners and recognized the value of the figurines.
Although they were fond of them, they politely declined the gift from Sophia, shaking their heads. “These are too precious. We can’t accept them.”
Perplexed, Sophia tilted her head and placed the figurines beside them. She then turned around and scribbled a message on a small notebook, “For you. Thank you. For helping.”
Ethan looked at the notebook, utterly confused. What was she trying to say?
Sebastian, however, quickly grasped the meaning. “You want to thank us for helping you that day?”
Sophia nodded vigorously, placing the notebook aside and handing the figurines to them.
Upon hearing her son’s words and recalling what the kindergarten teacher had mentioned, Olivia realized that Sebastian and Ethan had protected Sophia.
However, among children, what conflicts could arise?
Judging by Sophia’s appearance, it seemed like she still cared about Sebastian and Ethan’s assistance that day.
Curiosity piqued, Olivia couldn’t help but inquire, “What happened that day?”
Sebastian replied, “A classmate pushed Sophia and hurt her. Ethan and I made the classmate apologize to her and took her to find the teacher.”
Understanding dawned on Olivia as she nodded.
“Mommy, can we accept them?” Sebastian felt a bit guilty seeing the little girl holding the figurines all this time.
Olivia smiled and agreed, “Take them, and you can also give your own things to her.”
Upon hearing their mother’s words, the two kids reached out and took the figurines from Sophia’s hands. They made a promise, “Thank you, Sophia. Wait for us, we’ll go find a gift for you!”
After saying that, they ran back upstairs, holding the figurines, searching their room for the gift they wanted to give to the little girl.
Only Olivia and Sophia remained in the living room.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Seeing the well-mannered little girl, Olivia couldn’t help but ask, “Does it still hurt from the fall that day?”
Upon hearing this, Sophia approached her and raised the hand that had been injured that day to show her.
All Olivia could see on the fair skin of the little girl’s hand was a prominent bruise.
Olivia furrowed her brow with concern, took the little girl’s hand, and carefully examined it. After confirming it was only a superficial injury, she felt relieved. “Did you apply any medicine?”
Sophia hesitated for a few seconds but seeing the caring expression on the beautiful lady’s face, she innocently shook her head.
Olivia felt even more heartbroken.
With such an obvious injury, Victor couldn’t possibly have not noticed, yet he didn’t even think of applying medicine for the little girl.
Thinking about how the little girl would often run away from home for no apparent reason, Olivia silently criticized Victor as a father, finding him quite inadequate.
Sophia was still unaware of her father’s reputation being tarnished and looked at the beautiful lady in front of her with anticipation.
She had said she hadn’t applied any medicine, so the beautiful lady should help her, right?
Noticing the little girl’s gaze, Olivia snapped out of her thoughts, gently touched the bruise on the little girl’s hand, and said softly, “Wait here, I will get the first aid kit and apply some medicine for you.”
Sophia’s eyes brightened, and she nodded vigorously.
Overwhelmed by tenderness, Olivia couldn’t resist her desire to care for the little girl. Rising from her seat, she retrieved the first aid kit and delicately tended to the bruise on Sophia’s hand.
Being a doctor and a woman, Olivia’s attentiveness surpassed Victor’s, and her touch was just right.
“Does it hurt?” She asked while massaging, paying close attention to the little girl’s reaction.
Sophia shook her head, lowered her gaze, and watched the beautiful lady gently massaging her injured hand.
Her hands were so beautiful.
Moreover, her movements were much gentler than her father’s, and she couldn’t feel any pain at all.
Her fondness for the beautiful lady grew even stronger!
