"Evie wants Kizy." Evie said, her tiny voice sounding cute to Victor and Nicole.
"Should I take Evie to meet Kizy?" Nicole asked with a smile.
Evie just nodded at it.
"But Evie will have to do one thing for uncle and aunty." Nicole said, making Evie blink her cute doe-like innocent eyes.
"We want Evie to give us a smile. A big one. Only then Evie will meet Kizy." Nicole said in a playful tone.
Evie turned to look at Victor who was carrying her. Victor nodded at her, confirming what Nicole said.
Evie looked at Nicole, before looking back at Victor, and then gave them a big smile, showing her cute little teeths.
"Let's go and meet Kizy then." Victor said before he, Nicole and Evie left the place.
Victor first took her back to the orphanage, informing the owner that Evie was safe.
They were leaving the orphanage, heading towards Aaron's base when Victor received a call from Harry, informing him about Kizy's condition and telling that they were moving back to A city.
"I don't think it will be a good idea to take Evie with us." Nicole said, after knowing how severe Kizy's condition was.
"Will Evie be a good girl and wait for some days to meet Kizy?" Victor asked, his tone pleading and gentle.
"No. Evie wants to meet Kizy now." Evie immediately said with a pout.
"But Kizy is resting for sometime. Evie can not meet her right now." Nicole tried to convince Evie.
"Evie will wait like a good girl." Evie said stubbornly.
"But Evie will have to wait for a long time." Victor said, still trying to persuade her.
"No… Evie won't go.. go back… bad people come… orphanage.. Evie is not.. going… Evie wants.. Kizy…" with that Evie immediately broke down in tears, crying her heart out.
"Okay okay.. don't cry. Uncle will take you to Kizy. But promise uncle that Evie won't cry. Only then will I take Evie to Kizy." Victor said, immediately wiping her tears away, not being able to bear to make such a cute little child cry, especially a girl child.
"Evie.. Evie is not cr.. cry.." Evie said through her cries, wiping her tears away, even when she couldn't stop her tears.
Nicole felt this so cute that she wanted to pinch Evie's cheeks, but stopped, knowing how hurt the girl was.
She had thought that Evie had forgotten the incident of her kidnapping, and thus was talking with them nicely.
But it was now, when Evie said the reason for not going back, that she knew how traumatised and scared Evie was.
Afterall Evie was just a young child. How could she not be afraid of huge men, pointing guns at all children, taking her away when she was crying and treating her rudely, even sealing her mouth with a tape to muffle her cries.
Evie didn't want to go back to the orphanage where such bad people would come. Thus she wanted to meet Kizy, the first person or place after her orphanage where she felt safe.
Because though Evie was way more mature than the children her age, at the end she was just a child. She knew that Kizy was always good to her, even taking her side when she would have a fight with other children in an orphanage.
Thus she only wanted to go to Kizy and stay with her.
"Okay. Now smile a little for your uncle." Victor said, trying his best to make her stop crying.
And Evie immediately tried smiling in between her cries, making Victor sigh.
Thus Victor and Nicole ended up taking Evie back to A city with them.
And true to her words, Evie just stayed by Kizy's side once she was out of the operating theatre.
Even Nicole and Victor had never expected that Kizy would fall into a coma.
But Evie never even questioned them once. She would come to the hospital with Nicole, Mary, grandpa or grandma in the morning and return back with them to the Evans mansion.
In fact on the first day, she even stayed quietly by Kizy's side, without creating any trouble and accompanying Markus. Though none of them said a word to each other, they both just peacefully looked at Kizy, both of them waiting for Kizy to wake up soon.
*PRESENT TIME, VIP WARD, UNITY HOSPITAL*
It had been four days since Kizy had fallen into a coma and Markus hadn't stepped out of the Vip ward.
His friends had come to visit him and Kizy, but Markus didn't talk much, only answering when needed.
Coincidentally they had come at the same time when Evie had accompanied Nicole here.
Nicole, being Markus's only close cousin from childhood, knew his friends. Though she wasn't much acquainted with their wives, it took her no time in getting to know the two women.
She explained the entire scenario in short to all four of them, as they all knew Markus's background.
"Markus's image has been improving a little. We were able to present witnesses against three out of twenty nine girls. So, some of the people are believing him a little, but the majority of the news is concentrated on that minor girl." Felix said, informing Nicole about the recent situation.
With Markus being in such a bad position, grandpa, Joel and Nicole had taken the responsibility of 'Stardust' while his friends were finding clues against the accusation made against Markus, knowing all the details about when and where Markus was at the mentioned time.
"Don't worry. Everything will be sorted. We just need more time. At least the shares have stopped dropping.
In fact some of our old clients are coming forward to support us. And I am going to remember every single member out of them, because their trust is precious at such times." Nicole said.
She was still discussing other details with them when she felt a tug on her sleeves.
