Chapter 518
Listening to Elowen’s soft, innocent words, Thalassa couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow mixed with amusement.
Only a child could be this pure and naive.
It was incredibly endearing and enough to melt anyone’s heart.
Thalassa held Elowen. Her voice was soft as she said, “Don’t worry sweetheart. Once your wound heals, the stitches will be removed.”
“I used dissolvable sutures which don’t need to be removed. They help reduce the chances of scarring. You are such a beautiful, adorable little girl. We need to take good care of your wound and try not to leave a scar,” the doctor explained as he stitched up Elowen.
Elowen was a chubby little girl with sparkling big eyes, and a cherubic face, looking like a porcelain doll.
She was simply too beautiful.
People naturally have a love and compassion for beautiful things.
The doctor was no different. Seeing such a beautiful, endearing little girl, he naturally took a liking to her.
Thalassa gratefully said, “Thank you, doctor.”
“You’re welcome.”
After Elowen’s forehead wound was stitched and bandaged, she was put on an antibiotic drip.
The treatment would take more than an hour.
Luckily, the doctor had arranged a comfortable bed for them.
Thalassa sat on the bed, with Elowen in her arms. The other three little ones were sleeping at the foot of the bed. Although the bed was a bit narrow, the kids cuddled together, minimizing their space, all managing to fit.
It was already past eleven at night. Normally, the kids would already be in dreamland by this time.
Evelyn sat on a chair nearby. Her face was a bit pale as she sighed and said, “The kids didn’t eat much before we left. Only Elowen had some milk. They haven’t eaten anything since. They’ve just been following us around. They must be so exhausted.”
Evelyn had been cooperative all along, never questioning Thalassa about why they had to flee. Thalassa guessed that Evelyn thought they were/running from a debt of three million
dollars.
She still didn’t know that Lysander was the children’s father.
Thalassa was torn, unsure whether to tell Evelyn that Lysander was the children’s father.
If she told Evelyn, knowing her character, she would have likely confronted Lysander.
That would have been like walking into the tiger’s den.
It was better to wait. Once they were free from Lysander’s control and settled down, she could tell Evelyn everything.
“You rest for a bit. I’ll go grab some food,” Evelyn offered, looking at Thalassa.
“Be careful; stay safe,” Thalassa cautioned her.
She was unfamiliar with the area and worried about Evelyn going out alone.
“I will. You take it easy, Evelyn said as she left the room.
Thalassa tightened her hold on Elowen, touching her tender little face with affection. There was a feeling of relief and gratitude overwhelming her.
Thankfully, Elowen’s injuries were not serious.
Otherwise, she would’ve blamed herself forever.
Holding her little angel in her arms, watching her other three sleeping peacefully at the foot of the bed, Thalassa’s heart ached lessened.
With her children by her side, she could face any hardship.
When the doctor came in, Thalassa was alert and looked up. The doctor was holding a rectangular box and handed it to Thalassa, saying, “This is scar ointment. Once the wound is completely healed, apply it three times a day.”
Thalassa took the box with one hand, and gratefully said, “Thank you.”
