601 Words
Chase didn't look like a very stable man. Would he suddenly drop her off the stairs? Thinking of that, Lola's arms tightened around his neck. Chase huffed, "Stop trying so hard. I won't fall for your little tricks again."
Trying hard? But he was the one who was holding her right now. She just didn't want to fall…
"I won't play any tricks on you… I'm not interested," Lola rolled her eyes.
"Now you're saying that," Chase huffed.
He carried Lola all the way to Kevin's room and put her down on Kevin's bed, "You can start the treatment now."
"Mr. Foreman, I need my kit," Lola sighed. Chase gave her an impatient look before leaving the room to fetch the kit for her.
"Kevin, your dad didn't notice anything, did he?" Lola asked in a hushed voice.
"Nope," Kevin shook his head. He had been starved last night though. After Cole brought so much food from his Grandpa's house, Chase was worried that he would eat too much, so he canceled Kevin's dinner. Kevin had been starving until he fell asleep, but he didn't care to mention it.
"Great…" Before Lola could say anything, the doors of Kevin's closet were pushed open. Cole jumped out, "Hey, Ma'am!" He couldn't call Lola mom in front of Kevin. So he only called her that way.
"Cole?" Lola looked surprised.
The boy smiled at her, "Don't worry. This place is pretty safe." Soft footfalls sounded outside of the door. Kevin gestured at Cole. Cole hid in the closet again instantly, shutting the door. Chase got inside the room the next second, "I've brought your kit. Now you can start."
"Sure," Lola was so nervous. She was so scared that Cole would expose himself. When she finally prepared the needles, a loud shouting suddenly made her falter.
"Chase! Chase! Where the heck are you?" Cameron got into the room hurriedly. He went petrified the moment he saw Lola, "Who's this girl?"
"She's Kevin's doctor…"
"Sheesh… I thought she was Kevin's mom… Where is your wife?"
"I don't have a wife and Kevin doesn't have a mom."
"But I do have a mom!" Kevin protested.
"Your mom doesn't care about you anyway. You can pretend that she had already died!" Chase's cold eyes lingered on Lola for a short second before he spat out the sentence. The angry look on Lola's face amused him. She was mad? But he was simply telling the truth. She abandoned Kevin after giving birth to him. She didn't deserve to be called Kevin's mom.
"My mom is still alive!" Kevin argued.
Lola's lips curled into a smile, "Someone seems grumpy. Kevin, you mustn't learn from people like that…" Saying that, she rolled her eyes at Chase.
Cameron seemed a bit surprised as he wondered where did this woman come from… She seemed brave enough before his devil brother, which was a rare thing to see. Was she from a powerful family? Was that why she wasn't sacred of Chase? If Chase was not here, he would probably show his support to this woman publicly.
"Madam Dussa, you should really watch the things that came out of your mouth."
Lola went a bit scared when she met Chase's cold eyes. What was he gonna do to her? Lola was a bit unsure at this point. Cameron was also a bit worried. This girl was definitely doomed. When Lola was trying to perform needle treatment on the boy, Chase just kept staring at her. What if Chase did something really awful to her and Cole just jumped out of the closet?
