“Bu, does it hurt?”
Damian and Daniel embrace their mother. Liana who had originally lowered her head, now slightly raised her head.
“No, mom can hold it.”
Liana smiled at the two boys, hiding her pain so they wouldn't worry.
“Why did you come home early? Last time the teacher called mom, there was an extra class.”
“We did not participate, the activity was very boring,” said Daniel.
"Mom, let's sit there.”
They sat on the sofa. Damian and Daniel sat to Liana's right and left.
Damian then hurriedly searched the drawer to find the p3k box. He rushed to Liana's side.
He took a cotton swab that had been covered with betadin.
“Bu, don't move. Just shut up.”
Damian found many scratches on his mother's face and arms. Damian rubbed it gently and carefully.
“Why did they do this to mom?”
Damian's heart was in pain. He gritted his teeth in anger.
“Mother is okay. It's just a small wound. Damian, Daniel give mom a hug and a kiss and mom will get well soon.”
Damian and Daniel kiss Liana on the cheek. Liana hugged her two sons. His tears tried to break through but he held on with all his might.
"Mother, we're here. You will protect mom,” Daniel said.
“It was all my fault for not being beside mom. Mother of my heart hurts to see mother hurt.”
“Damian..” Liana's voice sounded vibrating.
“Bu, cry if mom feels sad.”
Damian hugged Liana's waist tightly.
Liana bit her lips refusing to reveal her frail side to her two sons.
Damian hugged Liana but hid his cold eyes. “How dare they hurt my mom.”
Meanwhile it's in a different place. Inge goes to the hospital to get treatment for Daniel's sprained arm.
After that, the woman went to her house and complained to her mother.
That afternoon, Inge's mother complained to Gideon Cross about Liana.
When Gideon received this call, he had just finished a meeting.
“I heard from my daughter that you have a woman named Liana. That woman was really rude. I never hurt or beat my daughter but she dared to hit Inge until she needed treatment.”
“What do you mean? I don't understand.”
“Why don't you ask him directly.”
Gideon managed to control his anger while he sat in his chair with a gloomy face and cold eyes.
The woman at the end of there keeps nagging.” How could he dare to hurt my daughter's hand? Why are there people so cruel? Don't blame me, he has to give us clarity. Let him apologize. Good thing my daughter's hand just sprained if broken, I swear I will take this case and demand that she be in jail.”
...♡♡♡...
Gideon didn't come home early. The man came home a little late. His mind was a little frustrated due to the work and scolding due to his nephews troubles.
As soon as he reached the villa, he quickly walked in. The living room was so dark and empty. Both of his sons must have slept.
Gideon headed straight for the master room, and found Liana lying in a design by turning her back.
The lights of the room are off only dim lights next to the nightstand that become a light.
Gideon saw Liana's body curled up on the bed. It was unclear whether Liana was sleeping or just lying down. Liana looked so calm as if nothing had happened despite the huge problems that had appeared caused by her.
Why would he hurt his nephew?
“Liana.”
Liana woke up in shock and sat down immediately on the bed. Seeing that Gideon was back, a smile appeared on his face.
But he noticed Gideon's cold face and looked angry. Liana's smile instantly dimmed.
Liana blinked her eyes as Gideon called out to her in a cold tone.
Is that my fault? His niece who hurt me like crazy, why am I being interrogated and like I'm wrong.
Liana pursed her lips. Liana stubbornly refused to say anything. He was also angry at Gideon.
Liana thought that Gideon would believe her, regardless of what others told her. At least Gideon would ask calmly.
But in reality, Gideon asked Liana with a cold and angry expression. Seeing Gideon's expression, Liana grew even more furious.
“Why? Are you angry? I ask again, why did you hurt another person's hand until his hand was sprained? What really happened?”
Liana grinned but her heart ached and sad. “Wah, are you really protecting her? Hearing him hurt, does your heart hurt so much that you get angry and blame me?”
Gideon just furrowed his brows.
“Did he come to you? So, do you want me to come to them and apologize? Because his family is so influential? Am I going to jail for hurting him? People with a background of power are different. I'm so scared! How could an ordinary person like me think of fighting their daughter with such an amazing family?”
With a non-approaching expression and grabbed
his jaw. Her cold gaze was fixed on Liana's face.
“I asked you, why are you talking sarcastically?”
“Sarcastic? Then what do you want me to do? Yep! I broke his hand and hit him. I even grabbed and hit him. I swore at her and called her a crazy woman.”
“You..”.
Gideon lost his words as his anger and the power in his hands grew stronger.
Liana endured the pain let alone the wound that was on the corner of her lips on the press and was more painful. Maybe Gideon couldn't see it because the lights were dim there.
“I just asked what happened. Why should you use that tone on me?”
Liana was already unable to endure the pain. Her tears suddenly fell.
Women are very sensitive and fragile. Liana hoped that upon Gideon's return from the office, the man would hug her warmly.
He will tell with his complaint. But it was just his shadow. Gideon only accused him without seeing the location of the problem.
Liana shed all her emotions in her tears. He's really tired. His voice was so vibrating as he said, “What do you want me to do?"
Gideon suddenly froze to see Liana crying.
“Do not cry.”
Gideon was completely confused to see Liana cry.
When Gideon forbade her from crying, Liana shed her tears. Tears that he had been holding, now he was pouring out.
“I'm very tired. Loving you is really very tiring.”
Liana turned her face away.
Gideon reached out his hand and tried to pull her into his arms but Liana chose to stay away.
He wrapped himself in a blanket and refused to be touched by Gideon.
Gideon pulled the blanket over and threw it aside. The man immediately pulled Liana into his arms.
“Don't touch me! Go to the woman!” Liana struggled to let go of Gideon's embrace but Gideon hugged her tightly and did not let her struggle in any way.
“Stop!”
Gideon continued to hug her tightly, waiting for Liana to calm down.
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have considered you guilty. I should have asked you gently. I should have listened to your explanation.”
Liana did not answer and Gideon did not know what she was thinking.
“I don't know what misunderstanding happened to you with him. You are older than him, you can definitely give in to him. No matter who's wrong, you should apologize for hurting his hand.”.
Liana's heart grew colder hearing Gideon's words as if to side with Inge.
Liana wiped her tears. His face looks angry.
“He deserves it. Too bad, his hand just sprained. It would be better if his hand was completely broken.”
Gideon's eyes instantly flashed. “What did you say?”
Liana raised her head and boldly looked into the cold eyes of the man.
“I told you, he deserves it and it would be much better if his hand really broke.”
“Stop talking!”
