Chapter 167: Spilling The Truth
[Next Day]
The day went in a blur, everyone waiting for Gracia to wake up soon. Evelyn hadn’t left the hospital and Zevian tried to convince but gave up understanding her feelings all too well. Rita had brought Kiana in the evening, whose excitement and positivity that her grandmother needed her beauty sleep and would wake up soon kept everyone a little relieved.
Kiana opened the energy drink Damien’s men had given her. Placing a straw in it, she first took a sip to check if it was good and hummed in approval. Turning to Evelyn, she lifted the bottle and demanded, "Mommy, drink this!"
Evelyn smiled and shook her head. "No, sweetie. I am good!" Passing back the bottle, she added, "You should drink it."
Kiana narrowed her eyes and with a huff, she got up, making sure she looked bigger than Evelyn. Placing a hand over her Mommy’s shoulder, the little girl added, "Are you going like this in front of grandma? She will be sad to see you so pale."
With a pout, Kiana continued, "She will blame me and stupid Daddy for not taking care of you well." Passing the bottle, she blinked innocently and added, "Please~"
Evelyn gave up at her cuteness and took the bottle. As she started drinking it, Kiana beamed with a grin, earning thumbs up from everyone around her. Sitting beside her Mommy on the bench, she danged her legs in the air and patiently waited for Granny to wake up.
"She is such an adorable kid!" Derek couldn’t help but compliment Kiana, recalling his bratty son who was almost the same age.
"Yeah!" Rita agreed with a smile, proud she was her best friend. Ever since their amusement park ride, they have bonded pretty well and Kiana told everyone that she was her best friend, even though they had a huge age difference and it made her happy.
Just then, Damien and Zevian walked back into the corridor. Ronan had decided to rest since he had sustained a few minor injuries too. Kiana jumped down the bench and ran to her father.
"Daddy!!!" Zevian picked her up in his arms with a smile.
