Lisa nodded and smiled.

"Mama, please be my real Mama. I don't have a true Mama. Mama is gone. Lisa wants mama. A pretty Mama. Sexy and nice Mama" Lisa said after Vanessa offered her a glass of water.

"Err... yes. I will be your mama."Vanessa said with a nod. A smile had finally found its way to her lips.

"Mama?" Lisa called out to her excitedly.

"My beautiful Lisa. What is your request?" Vanessa said with a smile as she petted Lisa.

"Lisa loves Mama,"

"Oh? Why do you love Mama?" Vanessa asked pretending to be confused.

"Mama is sexy. Mama is nice. Mama is everything," Lisa said happily.

Vanessa wondered if Lisa was really that pale, unconscious, dying girl she met alone just a few minutes ago.

This girl really was a wonder.

How then was she connected to her in the first place? She felt serious pain when Lisa was fighting for her life. Now that Lisa is okay, the pain had disappeared.

Forget it. What matters is that little Lisa is alive.

"What about Papa?" Vanessa asked.

"That demon incarnate isn't my Papa," Lisa retorted.

"Eish! Calm down, Lisa. Calm down. It isn't good to be angry. Mama won't bring him up again okay?" Lisa nodded and placed a kiss on Vanessa's head.

Vanessa smiled and hugged her wanting to give her more warmth.

While they were sharing a moment of warmth and love, Evelyn and Regina who were gravely worried got Lisa's father's bodyguard to break the door only to see this lovey-dovey scene.

All were shocked.

Lisa separated from Vanessa's hug and shot the intruders a baleful look. The bodyguards shuddered a bit for some reason.

Evelyn ran to Vanessa and shot her a querying look.

"You... i dunno what to say." Evelyn managed to say but Regina shook her head.

"Little miss, forgive us for being late" the bodyguards went one knee and bowed.

"Vanessa, let's get out of here," Evelyn said and pulled Vanessa up from the chair she had been sitting on only for Vanessa to fall to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Evelyn asked in worry.

"I... I feel no strength in my legs. I also see five of you, Evelyn. Do you have some superpower?" Vanessa asked before passing out.

"Vanessa?" Evelyn cried out.

"Mama?" Lisa cried out too and got off the bed after removing the drip. The bodyguards seemed not to be shocked about this. One of them even sighed secretly when Lisa wasn't looking.

"You fools! What are you waiting for? Hurry, do something," Lisa yelled as she ran to Vanessa.

"You mad lady, leave my mama alone" she yelled at Evelyn stunning her and Regina.

The bodyguards also seemed to be used to this stunning both of them even more.

'Is this girl really three years old?' They both thought.

"If anything happens to my Mama, YOU," Lisa pointed at Evelyn "will be dead meat." Lisa threatened.

Evelyn was shocked at her outburst. She also felt a chill run down her spine like she was afraid of Lisa.

One bodyguard quickly carried Vanessa bridal style and hurried out of the room with Regina and Evelyn following.

The other bodyguard lifted Lisa and made her sit on his shoulders and then went after the others.

*************

30 minutes later...

Vanessa's VIP ward.

Vanessa opened her eyes and felt a slight headache. Her vision was blurry for a bit but after some seconds it cleared up. She turned her head to see Lisa crying silently while Evelyn was standing close to the door. She seemed afraid to come close.

"Lisa... Evelyn" Vanessa wanted to mutter these words, but all that came out was unclear sounds.

She couldn't speak!

'What's going on?' She thought in fear.

Why couldn't she speak? What happened to her?

"Mama? You're awake? Mama," Lisa wiped her tears off and started smiling though it looked rather forced.

"Mama, it terrified me. Lisa is scared," Lisa said with an emotional voice.

Vanessa wanted to speak but all that came out were unclear sounds that made Lisa and Evelyn worried.

"Vany, are you alright?" Evelyn asked and Lisa turned her head to look at Evelyn. She shot her a baleful look, and Evelyn quickly shut her mouth blinking her eyes twice.

"Mama, I... are you alright? Mama, Lisa is terrified. Mama, what happened to your voice? Please speak to me." Lisa begged but Evelyn rolled her eyes.

Vanessa shook her head and closed her eyes.

"Mama, please don't scare me," Lisa cried again.

Vanessa opened her eyes, raised her right hand and caressed Lisa's head.

Lisa looked at her expectantly but all Vanessa could do was smile.

"Mama..."

Vanessa couldn't hear any more of Lisa's words because she fainted again.

"Mama? You" Lisa turned to look at Evelyn again.

"What did I do wrong now?" Evelyn asked.

"You dare ask me? Are you crazy, you ugly lady?" Lisa thundered.

"I didn't make her faint this time and wasn't responsible for her earlier fainting. If it wasn't for her stubbornness, she'd be resting and chatting peacefully with me right now," Evelyn thundered back. She'd gotten fed up with this Lisa. This little demoness is preventing her from going close to her friend.

"You dare yell at me? Do you know who I am?" Lisa yelled.

"Of course, the one her dad calls ugly. You dare to call me ugly when you are the queen of the uglies," mocked Evelyn as she pointed at Lisa.

"You... I'll make sure you regret ever being born," Lisa barked.

"Ha! Little runt like you? Dream on!" Evelyn brushed Lisa's words off.

"For my Mama's sake, I won't have you whipped," said Lisa.

"And for my friend's sake, I won't smack your butt and offer you as a sacrifice," said Evelyn.

"What? You wanna offer me as a sacrifice? Who do you think you are?" Lisa yelled.

"And who do you think you are? You're just a powerless mosquito" Evelyn cursed. She was losing her sanity with this demoness around. How was she a cute three-year-old? She's more like a hidden troublemaker with high intellect.

"You are a scarecrow and a chicken," Lisa didn't want to back down. If this stupid lady didn't barge in and yell her mummy's name, frightening poor mummy, would she have fainted and be in this condition? It her fault! She deserves to be beaten, tortured and given to cannibals to feast on. That is even a light punishment for her.

"Oh really! You're a yam head," Evelyn didn't know that the little girl was already cooking schemes against her.

"Blockhead,"

"Foolish girl,"

"Die!" Lisa spat. She couldn't lose to this ugly lady.

"You are the dead meat,"

"Shut up," Lisa's anger was reaching the apex. Regina who was outside the ward shook her head with a sigh. Could these two be more serious?
