Wayne Don returned to the hospital where Violet Don was staying, after having dinner with Noah Bates and Penelope Bates. At the time, Violet was curled up, reading a novel on her phone. When she saw Wayne come in, she smiled, "Out playing again?"
Wayne blushed slightly, probably because he had lied to his mommy, his voice soft and tender, "I had dinner with Young Master Bates and them."
"Why was it with Noah and them?" Violet froze, surprised that her son had dined with Noah.
"It was a coincidence."
Wayne lifted his head and said to Violet, "Mommy, don't be scared. It's very safe here now. I will protect you."
"Silly boy."
Violet gently touched Wayne's face, "It's mommy who didn't protect you well enough…"
Thinking of how Wayne had been slapped twice for defending Violet that day, she couldn't calm herself down. Time and again, her dreams were filled with scenes of fighting them to the death, only to wake up to emptiness.
