“They don't look like master and servant to me,” Julian remarked.
Justin's pitch-black eyes gleamed. “Mommy's such an idiot.”
With that, the two boys headed into their room.
The next morning, Gwendolyn got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and stared at herself in the mirror. Her face looked ashen; Zayden had lost it again last night.
He had lashed her with a whip, causing her to lift her arms in defense. Hence, there were raised marks all over them now.
She lifted her sleeves carefully, and upon seeing all the bruises and welts on her arm, she quickly looked away and let go of her clothing.
A knock came on the door at that moment, and Gwendolyn hastily adjusted her clothes so as to prevent her injuries from showing.
Then, she walked out of the bathroom and opened the door to her bedroom.
Her three children stood outside. Juliette had a white crop top and a pair of black sweatpants on, whereas the boys wore black and white tracksuits, respectively, with baseball caps over their heads.
“We're about to go for our classes, Gwen. Can you take me out to play this afternoon?” Juliette asked merrily, her eyes sparkling.
It was Saturday, so the little girl had dance class today while Justin and Julian were going to learn coding.
Gwendolyn nodded. “Sure!”
As she raised her hands to tie Juliette's hair, the sleeves on her nightgown rolled down slightly, revealing the whip marks.
Justin and Julian caught sight of that and exchanged glances.
“Let's head down for breakfast, Juliette,” Julian proposed, holding his sister's hand.
As the two left, Justin walked into Gwendolyn's room, signaling her to follow him.
Aware that he had something to discuss, the woman did as requested.
“What is it you want to talk about?” she asked with a smile.
The three siblings had always been close since they were young, and everything they did was planned in advance.
Seeing nothing unusual about her expression, Justin reached for her sleeve.
Gwendolyn took a step back immediately, not realizing that the boy had already caught a glimpse of her injuries while she was tying Juliette's hair earlier.
From her response, Justin knew she was trying to hide those marks from them.
“Mommy, we just want to let you know that no matter what happens, you can always tell us about it. We'll always be on your side.”
Hearing that, the woman gave him a hug. “Thank you, Sweetheart. I know that.”
As Justin left the room and headed downstairs, Camille rushed out of the kitchen.
“You're going to be late! Here, I made you sandwiches. Eat them inside the car.”
Suzanne followed them. “Be sure to eat your breakfast!”
Juliette grinned at her. “I will, Ms. Drache! Ms. Ziegler said you made them too!”
Being in a good mood since Zayden had gone to her room last night, Suzanne was all smiles.
“You're right! I made them too. It was my first time, but I did pretty well!”
After dropping Camille and Juliette off at dance school, the Surrington family's driver headed in the direction of Justin's and Julian's coding school. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“We want to go to the hospital before that, mister. Please take us to Fourton Hospital,” Justin remarked coldly.
Mommy's definitely hurt, and those looked like whip marks. She needs some medicine.
The driver did as instructed, taking the boys to Fourton Hospital.
“Wait for us here. We're going to get our mommy some medicine,” Julian said to him upon arriving at the parking lot.
“I'll come with you,” the driver offered, worried.
These boys are only five. Can they really get by on their own inside such a busy place? What if something happens to them?
“It's okay, mister. You can just wait here. We won't get lost.”
With that, the boys headed into the hospital building.
“Which department are we going to, Justin?”
“Internal Medicine.”
As Justin booked an appointment on his phone, Julian leaned over to look as well.
“Justin! Julian!”
Alice spotted them the moment she walked into the hospital and called out to them.
