Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 79

Chapter 79

"We're home, honey!" After arriving at the villa, Severin carried Diane out of the car and to the second floor.

Selene followed obediently behind the two of them and said worriedly, "Does your ankle hurt, Mom?"

"Fret not, Selene! Mom will be fine. I'll heal her in a bit!" Severin looked at her adorable appearance and felt as if his heart was melting.

"Really? You're so amazing, Dad!" Selene looked admiringly at Severin and felt that there was nothing he could not do.

"Okay, you rest there for a while, Selene. I'll run a bath for you soon. We have a bathtub now, so you can bathe in a bathtub!" Diane looked at Selene and smiled tenderly. She never once regretted giving birth to her daughter, because even though life had been tiring and difficult, Selene had been her driving force to continue living.

To her surprise, the little girl folded her hands in front of her chest and pouted angrily. "No, I don't want you to bathe me. I want dad to bathe me!"

Diane was a little speechless. She looked at Severin and said, "She was making a fuss about wanting you to bathe her when you came back. I didn't think she'd ask for it on the same day you returned." Severin stared at his daughter's adorable antics as she huffed and puffed in front of him. "Okay. Let me put your mother down on the bed, and then I'll give my precious little darling a bath!"

"Yay! That's great." Selene beamed with a smile and she ran around in circles while waving her little hands.

Severin carried Diane back to her room, put her on the bed, then filled the bathtub before bathing her. He did not expect Selene to be so cute and obedient, as she seemed to be very happy instead of fearing him. She must have been looking forward to receiving all that fatherly love from him. When the bath was done, he coaxed her to sleep and returned to Diane's room.

"Are you sure you can cure me? My foot is super swollen!" It had been many, many years since Diane was alone in the same room with Severin. At that moment, she somehow felt a little nervous and her heart was beating a little faster too.

She was even more nervous when Severin carried her up the stairs in a bridal carry.

"You'll know the answer to that soon enough. How did you think I managed to cure Henry? He wouldn't have given us such a big villa if I failed to cure him."

Severin smiled as he took a seat at the edge of the bed. He held up Diane's injured ankle and then placed it on his lap.

"What are you doing?" Diane was startled, not to mention a little scared.

"To cure you, of course. It's just a little out of place. I'll set it back for you and rub some ointment on it in a bit. Then everything will be fine!"

Severin smiled faintly. He could not help but smirk a little when he saw Diane's blush, and he said think that softly to her, "Honey, our daughter is already four years old. Why are you so shy? Did you I'd be fooling around?"

Diane said in irritation, "Hmph, I don't want to talk to you. It's not like I know what kind of person you are, anyway. If I wasn't drunk back then, I would not have even-"

All of a sudden, however, Severin seized the perfect moment to grasp her foot and give it a little. twist. An audible clicking sound was produced.

"Ah!"

Diane winced in pain and said angrily, "What kind of doctor are you? How could you do that without giving me a heads-up? You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
