“Who would’ve thought that woman had such guts to mess with you, Mr. Seet?”
“She’ll pay for it!”
John nodded thoughtfully.
“They’re right. Your abilities are endless, Mr. Seet. Mr. Kyle’s going to give that woman a hard time whenever she tries to treat him.”
Thinking back to how Kyle behaved when he gave the child a Lego set and a tablet, John figured he was being objective with his remarks.
Evan’s lips curled into a faint smirk. Kyle was abandoned not long after he was born; it’s only natural if he gives that woman a hard time now.
The next day.
Nicole arrived at the Hillside Villa on time to treat Kyle.
Since she had already been discovered by Evan last night, there was no longer any need to put on a disguise. Thus, she showed up as her true self.
Meanwhile, Kyle couldn’t get used to this new look.
“Where’s the lady from yesterday?”
Nicole reached for her medical kit and told Kyle that she was the same woman.
Kyle frowned; the more he stared at her, the more things didn’t seem right.
“No, you’re not!”
“It really is me. I had my own reasons for using a disguise yesterday, so…”
As Kyle listened to the woman explaining herself, he had a puzzled expression on his face. The woman from yesterday might not look pretty at all, but she gave off a warm and down-to-earth feeling.
Yet, that plain-looking face turned out to be a disguise?
Feeling as though his heart had been shattered, Kyle flew into a rage.
“So you’re a liar!”
“No, I’m not a liar. I’m-“
“Why should I believe you when you can even change your face?”
Nicole was stumped.
Evan, who was standing right next to them, gazed at Nicole in amusement.
“Remember this, Kyle. Women are always great liars. Not only can they change their faces, but they can also play dead!”
Play dead…
Nicole could only suffer in silence at the mention of these two words.
She wouldn’t have chosen to play dead if it weren’t for the sake of protecting the three children.
Upon hearing Evan’s words, Kyle glared at Nicole like an enemy.
“I won’t let a liar treat me, Dad. Make her leave!”
“I won’t lie to you, Kyle. You have to get better quickly,” Nicole insisted.
Then, she anxiously turned to Evan. “Kyle really has to be treated as soon as possible, Mr. Seet. You should know what matters most right now.”
Evan glared at her before walking over to Kyle and stroking his head.
“She may be terrible, Kyle, but there’s no one else who can replace her. She’s an excellent doctor and hacker. You can let her treat you as you compete over your hacking skills.”
A hint of astonishment appeared in Kyle’s disdainful eyes.
“You know how to hack?”
Nicole stilled for a moment before nodding.
She didn’t know how to hack at all, but she’d readily say yes if it meant being able to continue treating Kyle.
“Really? Then you can stay. But you’ll have to spend two hours practicing hacking skills with me every day.”
Kyle gave her a goading stare.
Two hours each day…
This was practically impossible for Nicole as she obviously knew nothing about hacking.
Just as she was in a bind, Kyle continued, “What do you say?” If you won’t, then get out of here!
Nicole had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to it.
She could only take one step at a time now.
Meanwhile, Evan narrowed his eyes. Kyle’s hacking skills were taught by the world’s top hacker, so Nicole would definitely be no match for him.
Hopefully, after that, Kyle would think that she was stupid and come to hate her.
When Kyle can’t stand her anymore, I can tell him that she’s his mother whom he has been wanting to meet. By then, he will definitely not accept her.
That’d be great then!
“Dr. Tussaud is extremely good at hacking. She easily changed my company’s encryption key. So, Ms. Tussaud, don’t hesitate to guide Kyle while practicing with him, will you?”
Evan’s exaggerated bragging made it sound like Nicole was an expert, sparking Kyle’s curiosity so much that he wished to get it on with her right away.
Nicole’s heart was pounding as she listened to Evan. My cover will definitely be blown if we were to start hacking now.
I must do something.
“Kyle, didn’t you promise to get treatment first? It’s more important.”
“Alright, then. Make it quick. We’ll have a go after it’s done!”
Nicole had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
This time around, Kyle was cooperative and did not even frown. It was as if he did not feel any pain at all.
However, Nicole felt distressed seeing a child showing such a high tolerance to pain.
“It must have hurt a lot. I can give you a break before continuing with other acupoints.”
“Enough talk. Keep going!”
Saying nothing, Nicole sighed and continued with the acupuncture.
After the acupuncture treatment was over, Kyle got off the bed immediately, ready to have a “hacking battle” with Nicole.
“Kyle, you can rest first.”
“Nah, there’s no need to! There are several computers in the study. You can choose whichever you want.”
Nicole was stunned for a while, feeling guilty. “I need to use the washroom first.”
After which, she left in a hurry.
Once she was inside the washroom, she locked the door and let out a long sigh.
She then took out her phone and moved her fingers on the screen as she muttered, “Juan, you’re the only one who can help me right now.”
She found Juan’s number and sent him a message.
Five minutes later, she walked out of the washroom.
“I’m ready.”
Seeing her confident stance, Kyle frowned. Could it be that this woman is really good at hacking?
“Let’s go to the study!”
“But I have a request – we have to do it in different rooms!”
“Why?”
“To keep you from peeking at my screen!”
Kyle shot Nicole a disapproving look and wondered where she got her confidence to say such a thing.
