"What's happening here?" Mu Ning asked while staring at the crime scene.
Gwen's and Warren's eyes widened, and they rushed in her direction. "Mother! You are finally awake!"
Their simultaneous shouting surprised her. She knelt in front of them and hugged them.
Both kids started to shed tears.
It was the first time she saw them acting like proper kids, especially Warren. Her eyes twinkled with mirth, and she arched a brow in Liam's direction, who was staring at her, too.
A strange emotion flickered in his eyes before he explained, "They thought that it was me who had harmed you."
Mu Ning almost felt the urge to laugh, but her instincts told her that if she dared... she would receive only glares.
"Mother, this bad man had harmed you, right?" Gwen tugged on her sleeves, looking like a pufferfish.
"No. In fact, he had saved me." She said softly, her eyes filled with motherly love.
Gwen and Warren: "..."
