Chapter 17

Olivia sat in the taxi without saying a word. She held her child tightly as if trying to protect the last treasure she had left.

North’s small arms wound themselves around her neck. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. I will get back everything you lost for you.”

Kate chimed in too, “That’s right; North is right. You’re already back. How can we allow her to continue acting so arrogantly? Everything she snatched from you, we’ll get them back again.”

Thus, Olivia smiled. “Don’t worry; I’m fine.”

Then, they returned to La Grande Maison. When North got out of the car, a stab of pain went through his knee and he nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Olivia reacted quickly and caught him. “North, what’s wrong?”

North endured the pain and pretended to put up a calm front. “It’s nothing.”

However, Olivia wasn’t that easy to fool. She immediately squatted down. “Show me; what’s wrong with your leg?”

Then, he avoided her. “It’s nothing. Mommy, I’m fine. Let’s go home.”

Ignoring him, she rolled up his pants. Immediately, she saw that his knee was bruised. Moreover, the top of his knee was scraped and the skin was torn. Against his fair and tender skin, the bruises stood out shockingly.

Sucking in a deep breath, her heart seemed to clench in pain. Then, she bent down and carried him in her arms. “Let’s go home quickly.”

As soon as they reached home, Olivia placed North on the sofa. At the same time, Kate brought the medical kit over.

Thus, Olivia gently swabbed at the wound with cotton wool soaked in disinfecting alcohol. She was so distressed that her heart felt like it had shattered to pieces; she lightly blew on the wound as she gently cleaned it.

“Mommy, it doesn’t hurt,” North consoled her when he saw how distressed she was.

Unfortunately, the more considerate he was, the worse she felt. She said nothing but her tears slipped out of her eyes.
