“Well, I can only trust your word, future firstdy of Kontina!” Alyssa teased Miley.


    “Ms. Alyssa, you’re home!” Sean rushed out from the kitchen, looking dapper in his suit. However, he


    was covered in some flour.


    “Sean, are you cooking?” Alyssa inquired curiously.


    “Yes. Madam L and Tatiana are in the kitchen. I’m helping out,” Sean replied with an awkward and


    troubled expression.


    “What? Is L cooking in the kitchen?” Mandy gasped and stood up. “Why didn’t anyone stop her? She


    fainted this morning!”


    Alyssa’s heart sank upon learning that. “Did L faint earlier today? Let me check on her.”


    Meanwhile, Tatiana was helping L in the kitchen. L looked pale, which made Tatiana worry.


    She asked L, “Mom, are you okay?”


    “I’m fine. I’ll have to rush. It’s almost dinnertime. I don’t want to leave everyone hungry,” L mumbled


    while speedily cutting the vegetables. Suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips.


    Tatiana panicked and nearly cried when she saw what had happened. “Mom, you cut your finger! It’s


    bleeding!”


    Alyssa and Sean arrived at the kitchen just in time. Alyssa immediately ordered, “Sean, get the first-aid


    kit from my room. L needs some stitches because her wound is pretty deep.”


    “Yes, Ms. Alyssa!” Sean hurriedly brought the first-aid kit. Alyssa expertly took care of L’s wound.


    Tatiana was shocked at Alyssa’s medical expertise. Nothing seemed impossible for the multi-talented


    Alyssa.


    In contrast, Tatiana felt useless and small. She couldn’t even do anything when her mom was bullied


    and


    nearly attacked. She fought to hold back her tears at the thought.


    Sean leaned over and ced aforting hand on Tatiana’s trembling shoulder. Feeling sorry for her,


    he reassured her, “Ms. Tatiana, don’t worry. Ms. Alyssa is around to help. Madam L made a lot of


    dishes.


    Let’s set the table now.”


    Tatiana sensed that Alyssa needed a private chat with L. So, she wiped away her tears and followed


    Sean out of the kitchen.


    +15 BONUS “L, don’t worry. I won’t let this slip after all that happened to you,” Alyssa said to L


    while bandaging the wound.


    “Oh, Lyse, I appreciate the sentiment, but you don’t have to do anything for me. I’m fine!” L hurriedly


    stopped her, looking fazed and lost.


    “20 years ago, she might have bullied you without a concern. But her attempt to pull the same trick now


    willnd her in hot water,” Alyssa said while inhaling deeply.


    She kept her anger in check and added, “If that woman wants to y with fire, I will make sure she is


    scorched.”


    L suddenly snapped back to reality and grabbed Alyssa’s hand while panting hard. “Lyse, do you


    know

    who was behind the attack?”


    “Yes. At this point, I believe you know as well.” Alyssa’s eyes were filled with pain. “You should have


    told


    Winston about it. He would have taken action on your behalf. No man would sit back and watch his wife


    bullied.”


    “Lyse, I do not want any revenge. I just want our family to live in peace,” L confessed. Tears rolled


    down her cheeks. She looked breathtakingly dazzling at that moment.
