Chapter 524


    “Well, it is bleeding,” Evan said, though he was not bothered about it to the slightest.


    “So does it hurt?” Nicole seemed frantic.


    “Yeah, it does a little,” Evan said gently, staring at the bite marks on his arms.


    No, you need to be sure about it. A little is not enough!


    The next thing he knew, his other arm was getting bitten as well.


    “Does it hurt?” Nicole’s eyes were filled with excitement and arousal.


    Evan sighed as he looked at his tattered arms. “Yes, it hurts. A lot.” He nodded.


    “Really? I’m so d…” Nicole seemed absolutely delighted.


    Evan simply stared without saying a word.


    Hah… So that’s what you want. It’s alright though. I’ll do whatever that makes you happy.


    Having made sure that Evan could feel the pain from her bites, Nicole could finally bring herself to


    believe that everything that had transpired was indeed real.


    Meanwhile, in a luxurious hotel suite.


    Levant felt like he was having a fever. Back at dinner, while Nicole only drank one ss of the spiked


    wine because her second got spilled, he drank two whole sses of it. He had been pulling through so


    far purely by willpower.


    “Mr. Levant, how about… How about I find you a woman?” The hotel manager asked.


    “No… no. Where is Nicole?”


    “I don’t know. I got a waitress to go look for her in the bathroom, but she is nowhere to be found.”


    Oh god, she drank the wine too. I wonder if she is alright?


    “Mr. Levant! This is not the time to be worrying about someone else! If you keep this up, you’ll hurt


    yourself!”


    Levant gritted his teeth, and whispered weakly, “Send me to the hospital. Quick.”


    “Mr. Levant, I can find you a woman, you know? Why-”


    The hotel manager’s words got cut off by Levant’s harsh re. He immediately shut his mouth and


    called the hospital.


    An hourter.


    Evan’s phone suddenly rang.


    “Yoda, have you found Mommy? Do you need our help?”


    “That would not be necessary,” Evan replied, his voice low and rough.


    On the other end, Juan was rather startled. “Yoda! Yoda, you can speak now?”


    Evan was speechless.


    Should I tell the kids that I’m their father?


    Before he could say another word, Nicole took his phone away. “Juan, Mommy’sing home soon.”


    “Mommy, Yoda can suddenly speak now! He kind of sounds like Daddy though?”


    Nicole turned to look at Evan. Though she was not certain of it, she knew that he had good reasons as


    to why he disguised himself as Yoda.


    And she did not want to mess up his ns. “You must have heard it wrong. Mommy was the one


    talking just now.” She quickly made up something to say.


    “It’s Mommy?” Juan frowned in confusion. Did I really hear it wrong? It’s not really possible to mix up a


    man and a woman’s voice, is it?


    “Alright, Mommy’s going to hang up now. See you soon, okay?” Nicole ended the call.


    “You’re not very good at lying, are you?” Evanughed.


    “What would be a good one for that situation then?”


    “Well, you can say that you got a waiter to answer it just now, or… “


    “Oh shut it! Don’t forget that I’m making up those things for your sake!”


    Evan was a little stumped. “But weren’t you angry that I lied to you? Why are you making up lies for me


    now?”


    “I was angry because there shouldn’t be any secrets between us, especially one rted to life-and-


    death situations. As for the kids, sometimes you’ll have to lie to protect their hearts from the harshness


    of reality,” Nicole replied.


    “So, you have not told the kids about my death?”

    “Oh don’t even talk about it! Death? Who’s dead? Aren’t you well and alive in front of me right now?


    Don’t even mention the word death!” Nicole became fired up all of a sudden.


    Evan was again at a loss for words. He did not expect her to be that sensitive to those words. Smiling,


    he kissed her on the forehead.


    “So, what happened during the ne crash?” Nicole asked after a moment of silence.


    Evan’s face tensed up. “It’s Levant. He sabotaged the ne I was on. I only survived because I noticed


    that things were suspicious early on.”


    “Levant? Why would he do that to you?”


    Evan’s gaze darkened.


    “Not just to me, what happened with Sylphiette and the letter that Grandpa received back then are all


    his doing.”
