Chapter 486


    “Mom, what happened to your face?” Atticus was the first to notice the bandage on Thssa’s cheek.


    The bandage was small, and no one had noticed the wound on Thssa’s face in their early


    excitement.


    Atticus was half sprawled on Thssa, his little face burrowed into her chest. When he looked up, he


    saw the white bandage on her face – the unmistakable sign of an injury.


    As soon as Atticus voiced his concern, the other little ones also looked up; their eyes were drawn to


    Thssa’s cheek.

    “Does it hurt, mom? I can blow on it for you.” Sophia scrambled up from Thssa’sp, puckered her


    lips, and gently blew air towards Thssa’s bandaged face.


    Her soft and tender gesture was both heartwarming and endearing.


    “Did someone hurt you, mom?” Dorian’s eyes welled up with tears at the thought of his mom being


    hurt.


    “Mom, um…” Elowen, who was just snuggling up moments ago, now looked at Thssa with a pained


    expression.


    “It’s okay, it’s just a minor scratch. I’m not in pain, my little darlings. Don’t worry.” Thssa sat up and


    With the love and concern from her children, Thssa felt an overwhelming sense of happiness; it


    washed away all her pain and difort.


    She had fought to have her children stay by her side regardless of her difficulties. Whenever she


    missed them, she knew she could see them anytime.


    Life couldn’t get any more perfect than this.


    Perhaps this was why she insisted on keeping the kids hidden from Lysander.


    Evelyn, who was just grumbling about Thssa’s absence, instantly became concerned when she saw


    the wound. With a frown, she asked, “What happened? Was it because of that man again?”


    “No, mom, I was just being careless. Don’t worry, it’ll heal in a few days,” Thssa reassured her and


    looked unconcerned about her facial wound.


    Hearing her say this, Atticus and Dorian exchanged a look. Their silentmunication spoke volumes.


    Thssa then led her children to the couch, “Have you been behaving well for Grandma these past few


    days?”


    “Yes, we have,” the kids chorused.


    “You don’t have to worry about the children; you should worry about yourself. They are much more


    sensible than you,” Evelyn retorted as she rolled her eyes.


    With that, she went off to prepare dinner.


    Thssa knew that her mother was just being her typical self. She had a soft heart despite of her harsh


    words. So she took her mother’s words lightly. After spending some time with her children, Thssa


    went to help Evelyn in the kitchen.


    Meanwhile, the children huddled together in their room, plotting their next move.


    “Mom has been hurt by Lysander again. We have to protect her.” Atticus dered.


    Dorian nodded, “That’s all because mom broke one of Lysander’s antiques. We can’t let him bully her.”


    Elowen mumbled, “Poor mom… it hurts.”


    Sophia clenched her tiny fists, her brows furrowed, “Let’s protect mom!”


    Atticus devised a n, “We need to help mom pay back Lysander. Sophia’s pendant sold for 200,000,


    and Elowen’s prize from the gourmetpetition was 200,000. We only have 400,000 in total, we need


    more. We have to find ways to earn more money.”


    Dorian gave a firm nod, “We have to find ways to earn more money.”


    “But how?” Elowen’s wide eyes sparkled with anticipation. As a food lover, she didn’t know how to

    handle the rest part.


    Sophia furrowed her brow, also pondering the same problem.
