Chapter 52 Be My Daddy!!
Nicole trembled slightly as she wore her jacket, her hair was messy, and her dull eyes stared at herself in the mirror.
Hailey stood close to her, holding a cloak. After Nicole wore her jacket, Hailey handed her the cloak. "Thank you, baby." Nicole appraised in a slow and low voice, and then a cough erupted from her mouth, making her head bang even more.
Nicole couldn’t even move her head too much cause of the splitting headache. Her legs were hurting and unable to hold onto her weight for too long.
"Is the uncle still coming to get you??" Hailey asked and Nicole paused in her movements. The cloak was halfway around her neck, her eyes stilled.
Hailey waited for a reply which she got after Nicole found her voice. "Umm, I guess so." Then, she continued wrapping the cloak around her neck.
Once done, she turned around to face Hailey who was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a white fluffy cap on her blonde hair. Hailey looked concerned, inspecting her mother to make sure she was all covered up.
"You don’t wanna arrange your hair?? It’s a little too—unkept." Hailey said. Nicole’s shoulders dropped in defeat, wishing she could leave it that way.
"My scalp will burn if I brush it..." Nicole made an excuse to leave her hair that way. She didn’t want to comb it, she lacked that extra strength to do anything else.
"You know what?? Just sit, I’ll help you with that." Hailey offered.
Nicole swallowed her complaint, not wanting to seem like a kid to her child. Hailey dragged out the chair close to the dressing table and Nicole sat on it.
Her eyes were looking at herself in the mirror, a warm feeling enveloped her as Hailey used her small hands to arrange her tangled hair.
