“Which part of your body did I beat you?”
Simona paused for a time before responding, “Well —— my butt.”
“Butt…” Samuel lifted his hand as he pretended to beat him and added, “You claimed I beat you. If I don’t do so for real, it would be my loss.”
“Ah.”
Simona was terrified and burrowed into Loredana’ arms. Loredana turned off the tap. “All right, stop it, it’s time for a wash.”
“Out of respect for mommy, I’ll let you off today,” Samuel said as he stopped and looked at his sister.
Simona stuck her tongue out at her brother.
Loredana took her clothes off and put her into the bathtub.
The water was warm and the small girl sat in it. As she kept her head above the water and her body was immersed in the water, she felt comfortable. She stayed in the water for a while before Loredana gave her a rubdown and put shower gel on her.
Finally, she washed her hair.
After wrapping her body in a bath towel, she plugged the hairdryer in the socket to dry her hair.
The doorbell rang unexpectedly at this moment.
Samuel went to open the door, and it was the hotel waiter.
“What can I do to help you?” Samuel cocked his head. He’d seen this waiter before and was less alert.
“This is for your mother.” He was brought a lovingly wrapped box by the waiter.
Samuel paused for a while, “What exactly it is in the box? Who was it who handed it?”
“I’m not sure. I’m simply responsible for delivering it. I’m not sure what it is in it.” The waiter said sincerely.
These occupants who stayed upstairs had bodyguards alongside them. They drove fancy cars and looked just like rich people. He did not dare to offend them.
Loredana stretched his hand out to accept it and said gently, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The server smiled and found that this youngster was not spoilt but well educated, and was courteous and good-looking.
Samuel shut the door and sat on the bed. He crossed his hands over his chest and his fingers rubbed his chin as he peered at the box and inquisitive what it carried.
Was it a present from daddy to mommy?
His curiosity was so strong that he couldn’t help but open the box However—
“Ah!”
There was an imitation doll inside the box, the doll’s eyeballs were scooped out, only the white parts were left, there was a long cut wound on the stomach part, sewn with a rope, full of blood, it also had long sharp nails.
The doll was made so realistically, even if Samuel was smarter and braver, in the end he was just a child.
He was so scared to see such thing that he shouted.
“What happened?” hearing Samuel’s shout, Loredana ran out and saw the thing on the bed, she was also scared herself, she immediately pulled her son into her embrace, covered his eyes, and consoled, ”Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here.”
“Mommy, what is it?” Simona just took a bath, blow-dried her hair, and wore clean clothes… She was really curious of the thing that could make his brother shout.
Loredana reacted quickly, she pulled Simona to her embrace and covered her eyes when she had yet to see it.
Simona was not so brave, even Samuel got scared, she would be extremely scared if she saw it.
Loredana couldn’t think of the person who would send such thing, she just wanted to get rid of that thing quickly.
So it wouldn’t scare the children.
She patted Samuel, ”Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here, hug your sister tightly, I will cover it up.”
Samuel was very scared, he was still slightly trembling in Loredana’ embrace, tightly hugging her, ”Mommy, I’m scared.”
He didn’t dare to leave Mommy’s embrace.
Loredana didn’t dare to stare straight at it either, it wasn’t only visually disturbing, it was also mentally disturbing, she had given birth and that’s a tortured doll, it was also mentally disturbing for her.
“Mommy.” Samuel was trembling as he tightly grabbed Loredana’ clothes, he didn’t dare to move.
Loredana hugged the two children, she had to slowly move towards the door while pressing the two children’s heads.
As if Cormac had heard of the movement there, he already walked over before he finished wearing his clothes, he walked to the door and his hand that was buttoning up slightly stopped, he then quickly walked in, carried his son and daughter to leave the room.
Boyce who was out side came up, he was going to ask them to eat lunch, Cormac handed the children to him and ordered, ”Keep an eye on them, I only trust you.”
“Did something happen?” Boyce was worried so he asked that, because Cormac’s expression looked so bad.
Cormac himself wasn’t sure who the hell would do that, he then patted Boyce’s shoulders.
He returned to the room.
Loredana was still standing there, frozen, staring at the terrifying thing on the bed.
Cormac took her into his arms and covered her face in his embrace. ”Don’t look at it anymore.”
Loredana closed her eyes, slightly trembling, ”Who did this?”
She was shocked and panicked at the same time, the person who did that clearly knew that she had two children, that’s why he sent something like that to scare them.
“I’ll investigate it clearly.” Cormac glanced at the dirty thing on the bed, looking so serious without any words.
His arms were long, he could touch the bedding just by slightly tilting his body, he then covered the box with the quilt.
He patted Loredana’ back, his palm was broad and hot, rubbing her spine again and again, he consoled her by saying, ”It’s all fake, don’t be scared.”
Loredana said yes, but she didn’t take another glance at the bed.
Samuel told Boyce of what happened in the house, Boyce looked as serious as Cormac as he guessed, “Could it be Sampson?”
As if that guy had evaporated from the world, the people that he had sent couldn’t find his whereabouts at all, not even a single clue.
Sampson was hiding in the dark, he could suddenly appear at any time.
That was something called as clear attacks would be easy to dodge, while hidden ones were not.
“Find the person in charge of sending things in the hotel.” furthermore, the hotel had CCTV too, he’d find a clue somehow.
“Mommy.” Samuel was really scared, his face was quite pale, he ran over to Loredana’ embrace, Loredana hugged him tightly and consoled him, “It’s okay, don’t be scared.”
Simona didn’t see it, she just sat on the chair looking left and right, she didn’t understand what happened with everyone that suddenly changed.
They became so serious.
In the hall, it was at noon and the sun was shining bright, maybe it was crowded and bright so Samuel’s fear got a bit better.
Not long after, Boyce and Armand brought the hotel’s manager and the waiter that sent the box.
Boyce shook his head towards Cormac, it seemed that the other party had figured out the hotel’s CCTV layout and avoided the CCTV, even if he was captured on the screen, there’s only a back figure whose face couldn’t be seen at all, the person wore very secure clothes that they couldn’t even be sure of the gender.
The only clue left at that time was just the waiter, not sure whether they could get any clue from him.
“I believe you have heard about who we are, even if your Mr. White comes, he has to be somehow respectful as well… It’s best for you to tell us everything you know, we don’t like to play it rough but if we do, most of them became disabled, think clearly before you speak.” Boyce’s hand landed heavily on the waiter’s shoulder.
