Nina frowned. Is she really Mommy? Why is she so skinny? Wait… Is she that skinny woman disguising herself as Mommy? Hmm… This doesn’t look like a mask though…
Maya too, stared wide-eyed at Nicole. Is she really Mommy? Why does she look so pale? Just what did she go through?
Nicole reached out her skinny hands and patted them on the head. “Nina, Maya, it’s Mommy!”
The two broke into tears and hugged her after hearing that familiar voice of hers. “Mommy…”
“We’ve missed you, Mommy…”
“I’ve missed you all too!” Nicole shot Evan a glance and continued, “I’m that woman you were all calling a homewrecker, so stop pressuring your Daddy, okay?”
Nina and Maya wiped their tears off. “We’re sorry, Mommy! We shouldn’t have called you a homewrecker! Daddy, we’re sorry for misunderstanding you!”
“It’s alright, Daddy doesn’t blame you.”
The two then held Nicole’s hands and asked her what she had been through as well as her current condition, all of which she answered honestly.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Nina, I won’t bite you anymore now that my hallucinations have been treated.”
“Why are you so skinny, Mommy?”
“It’s just a side effect of my treatment, that’s all. I’ll be okay after nursing myself back to health. I was planning to see you guys after I’m fully recovered so you’d all get to see a beautiful and healthy Mommy.” Nicole tried to brush it off casually.
“You always look beautiful to us, Mommy!”
