Her Seven Little Bodyguards
Chapter 819

Chapter 819

Hanson's face was full of anxiety. "How did you get hurt? Is this how Liam kept you out of harm's way?"

Knowing the man's temper, Vania threw her arms around his neck and said placatingly, "Oh, darling, don't blame Liam for this. We just happened to come across a mining-induced earthquake when going up the hill. A rock hit me at the time, but I'm alright, so don't worry."

At this moment, her seven children also came around her. "Mommy, are you hurt?" They heard their father's voice and were pained to see her leg's condition.

James and Jack sat beside Vania while gently blowing on her bruised leg. "Mommy, let us blow your pain away."

Vania used to blow their pain away like this whenever they got injured in the past. Now that she was injured, it'd be their turn to do the same for her.

"Mommy, please let us check if you're hurt anywhere else," Jacob and Jude said while starting to check on her.

Morales and Morgan also volunteered, "Just tell us if you need anything. We'll get it ready right away."

Vania immediately took them in her arms. "I'm fine, really. I was hit by a rock, but I'll be fine tomorrow after a good night's sleep."

However, all her seven children weren't fools, especially Lily, who studied medicine. "Mommy, you've got an obvious bruise here, and you're using the most common trauma cream for it. There's no way you car get well in a day." She looked at the trauma cream, which she didn't think was useful. "Mommy, I'll go make an ointment for you right now. I promise you'll get well tomorrow," she said while examining Vania's injuries.

Hearing that Vania would be fine tomorrow, Hanson and the other six children were relieved. "You guys go with your sister," said Hanson. At this moment, he wanted to be alone with Vania for a while.

Knowing that he had something to say, Vania kept clinging to his neck to keep him from losing his temper.

After the kids had left, Hanson finally said, "I won't let you go alone for such things anymore." No one cares for my wife as much as I do. After all, no other men will take care of her in every way possible. At the thought of this, he couldn't help blaming himself. "It's all my fault. Why didn't I go with you today?"

He had a teleconference and had thought that Vania would be fine with Liam escorting her, but little did he think that she'd still get hurt.

Vania appeased him with a kiss on his forehead. "Stop overthinking it, okay? I'm fine. And besides, how can you be blamed for this? It was by chance that we came across the mining-induced earthquake, so it couldn't be helped."

Hanson replied, "If I were there, I'd never let you get hurt." Even at the cost of his life, he'd make sure that she escaped unhurt.

Not wanting the man to blame himself, Vania kept reassuring him, saying, "I know that my darling is the greatest person in the world, and nothing will happen to me with you protecting me. I won't take chances anymore."

Hanson buried his face in her neck without saying a word as if to calm himself.

Vania let him hold her in his arms, knowing that he wouldn't make advances to her as long as he didn't get rid of his emotions. After a while, she saw that he'd calmed down a lot, so she kissed him on her own initiative, saying, "Come on, darling, let's not dwell upon this anymore." Then, she added without thinking, "Thomas also got hurt a little when he helped me fend it off at the time."

Hanson nodded. "Got it."

Surprisingly, he and Vania were of one mind about one thing: some matters had to be dealt with separately, so one ought to say thank you or take revenge when they should.

"Darling." He took her hand and put it on his chest. "It hurts here. Could you please give me a massage?"
