But now, she felt like she was being blatantly disrespected and even slandered for supposedly climbing

means
This pure and unadulterated disdain hurt her to the core
Just yesterday, she was full of hopes, wanting to create a complete family for her kids.
But today, life slapped her hard in the face.
Seeing her cry, Evelyn felt even more heartbroken. She quickly supported Thalassa’s shoulders,
making her lift her head, anxiously asking. “What on earth happened? Don’t just cry. Tell me who’s
been messing with you, I’ll make them pay!”
Thalassa was always the optimistic and cheerful type, like a forever invincible superhero, rarely
shedding tears.
Evelyn remembered that Thalassa cried five years ago when she had to give up school because of her
unstable pregnancy.
However, in the past five years, no matter how hard things were, she didn’t shed a tear.

“Mummy, what’s wrong?” A soft voice rang out from her feet, and Thalassa’s skirt was gently tugged.
Looking down through her teary and blurry vision, she saw a little girl with two braids, her big eyes filled
with worry and concern, and her chubby little face looking up at her.
That was her daughter, Elowen.
Seeing the little girl, Thalassa’s pain dissipated instantly. She quickly wiped her tears, forced a smile,
and said, “Mummy’s fine, just a bit tired. Just like how you guys come to mummy for a cuddle when
you’re tired, mummy’s tired too and wanted a little cuddle.”
“Mummy, if you’re tired, I’ll give you a hug.” Dorian walked over urgently with his short legs and hugged
Thalassa’s legs. Even though his chest wasn’t as wide as Thalassa’s two legs, he still tried his best to
embrace her.
“Mummy, stop crying; come sit on the couch then I’ll give you a back rub.” Atticus also came over,
guiding her to the couch. He climbed up and started giving her a back rub in a very professional
manner.
Thalassa’s heart, originally filled with discomfort, was now filled with warmth after receiving her
children’s care.
“Mummy, let me help you wash your feet. At this moment, Sophia, with her small body, came over
carrying half a basin of water.
The little one’s body was even smaller than the basin, but she was trying her best to carry it over step
by step. Despite it being so hard and heavy, she clenched her teeth, insisted on not giving up, and kept
moving towards Thalassa.
Seeing her like this, Thalassa’s heart clenched. She was about to get up to take the basin from her.
Evelyn quickly walked over, took the basin from her, and placed it at Thalassa’s feet, scolding her with
a doting face, “Oh dear, this child isn’t even as big as the basin, yet she’s carrying so much hot water.
What if you get burnt?”
Despite scolding her, she still led Sophia to Thalassa’s side, knowing she wanted to wash Thalassa’s
feet, and didn’t stop her.
Sophia rolled up her sleeves excitedly, took off Thalassa’s shoes, and then placed Thalassa’s feet into
the basin.
“Ah!” As soon as her feet touched the hot water, a sharp pain came from her skin. Thalassa couldn’t

Sophia was horrified and guiltily said, “Mummy, I’m sorry, the water’s too hot. I’ll go add some cold
water.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was about to go get water, but Thalassa tightly held onto her
hand. Her pained expression. eased in an instant, and then a gentle smile appeared on her face,
comforting her: “Sophia, you’re doing great. The water temperature is just right. Mummy’s pain isn’t
from getting burned, but because my foot got hurt.”
It turned out she was injured but she didn’t realize it earlier. When she took off her shoes and her foot
was in the basin, the skin on the back of her foot was broken due to friction from her shoes. It was
stimulated by the hot water, and the pain doubled instantly.
That was the real reason she couldn’t bear it and lifted her foot.
Sophia lowered her head, cautiously looking at Thalassa’s raised foot. On Thalassa’s delicate foot, a
large patch of skin had been rubbed off by her shoes, revealing a red and swollen wound. It was
heartbreaking to see.
Sophia’s lips were slightly pursed, her eyes reddening, and her face full of heartache. “Mummy, you
really got hurt. I’ll go get a plaster.”
Sophia wiped her tears with one hand and headed towards the medicine box with the other.
