CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE:

Kai's new babysitter

--

"She'll be unconscious for a while for her body to recover, the blood loss was severe good thing the loss did not passed 40 percent. Oh, and also, the bullet is already removed from her body." Victoria explained in the stead of the doctors. She was sitting on the sofa next to the dozing off Kai. The younger boy is really sleepy since it was past his bedtime. His body is not use to staying up late like this.

Victoria is rubbing his head affectionately. The boy reminds her of Tyler when he was a kid.

Melanie nodded at her, "Thank you for making the arrangements for us, we can take this from here."

"You're welcome!" Victoria said enthusiastically. She stood up after giving Kai a last pat on his back.

"Since the two of us-" she gave the silent Tyler a short glance. "Three- since the three of us are close, there's no harm on helping a friend, right?"

She showed off her best convincing smile. Jack, Melanie and Becca squinted their eyes to protect it from harmful radiation of light that was coming off of her bright, big smile. Melanie tried to give her best and also smilef widely, although it came out crooked and unsightly. "Yes, yes of course. Thank you agai-"

Melanie was caught of by a loud ringing of her phone. It is vibrating in her pockets. The other people inside the room looked at her, urging her to answer the phone. She fished it out from her pocket and when she read the ID of who was calling, her eyebrows raised. It was her mother.

She smiled and excused herself. "I'm sorry, I have to take this."

It was rare for her mother to call her. If she does, it's either she has an important message or just wanting to see how she is after a long time of not checking. Their family consists of 4 members; her father, mother, her older brother and her. They don't hate or resent each other, they are just less affectionate than other family. That's why after she finished highschool, she moved out from her house and went to find a job.

This also explains her cold demeanor. Since she's moving from job to job, and she's also alone, she learned how to handle everything by herself and become an independent woman. She's very satisfied with her job right now. She even has a free room in the shop.

After saying that, she went out of the room.

"She must be busy, huh?" Victoria said, looking at the closed door.
