Mila Dupont took the glass of milk from Aurora Dupont's hand, took a couple of sips, suddenly glanced at Aurora and asked loudly, "Mommy, are you injured?"
Aurora was taken aback, "Huh? No, why?"
"But there are so many bruises here!" Mila said, "Here, on your neck."
Aurora immediately understood what Mila was referring to and quickly pulled at her collar, "Huh… It's okay. I'm okay."
"Why would you get hurt, Mommy? Are your injuries from when you went out yesterday? Who hurt Mommy?"
Sensing that there was no avoiding the query, Aurora passed the blame to Kai Piers, "Your Daddy did it."
"Are all the bruises on your neck caused by Daddy?"
"Yes, all of them!"
Mila suddenly became upset, "Daddy... why did you hurt Mommy? That must be painful?"
Kai Piers almost choked on his breakfast, "I... "
"I suddenly dislike Daddy a bit." Mila said, "Mommy's neck has never been hurt before... Daddy, did you... did you abuse Mommy?"
