Chapter 8: Nanny

Seeing that Lomesa was insisting, Valeria could only bite her lip and obediently unclench her hand. The sight that greeted Lomesa when she took a look at the girl's palm was really ghastly. Her soft and pale palm had a cut that stretched from her pinky finger to her wrist. It still looked fresh, which means that she had Bern injured earlier in the day, the gash that was left after the injury looked so gory. Lomesa bit her lip to stop herself from losing control. Right now, she only wished to kill someone at that moment. However, she didn't want to scare the little girl away, so she repressed the urge. Thus, she took out a tube of ointment from the shelf and began applying it on her palm. The cooling sensation produced by the medicine made the kid want to withdraw her hand.

"Bear with it for a while, okay?" Lomesa lowered her head and looked into Valeria's eyes as she coaxed. Valeria stopped moving until Lomesa finches applying the ointment on her wound and wrapped it with a cute elastoplast.

After that, Lomesa picked out the a pair of clothes from the delivered bag. She picked a pair of cute fluffy white sweatpants and a sweat shirt. They were slightly baggy, thus, when the girl wore them, she looked extremely cute. So cute that one couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Wow, my baby is so cute." Lomesa teased as she exclaimed in awe.

The girl blinked her purple eyes , looking like a kitten.

"Do you want to take a look at yourself?" Lomesa suddenly asked. When the girl heard the question, she nodded her head, she also wanted to see how she looked.

Lomesa York her hand and made her stand facing the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, the girl was so stunned that her mouth hung open . She didn't know how to describe her feelings.

"Do you like it?" Lomesa asked her eagerly.

"Yes, thank you." This time, Valeria managed to utter a few words. She really felt grateful.

"Silly, in the future, when you see something you like, be sure to tell me, I'll get it for you, okay?" Lomesa pinched her cheek and said

When the girl heard this, she felt like crying, she immediately hugged Lomesa tightly.

Lomesa, who was hugged out of the blue, froze first before she picked up the girl and hugged her. Feeling the dampness of her hair, Lomesa made the little girl sit on the couch while she blew her hair dry for her.

After she got done dressing the girl, Lomesa picked up her pajamas and hurried into the bathroom. She had to hurry up lest the little girl of hers starved due to hunger. Sure enough, this time Lo esau didn't as much time as she always did. After five minutes, she came out from the bathroom, fully dressed .She hastily blew her hair dry, after which, she held the girl's hand and brought her to the dining table. Since the table was a little high, Lomesa placed the girl on her lap . After serving the food, She fed the girl first. Once I a qhile, she would eat her portion to. Lomesa never knew what contentment was until she saw the little girl burp in satisfaction after having her fill. The girl wanted to have freshly squeezed juice but Lomesa outrightly rejected her. The girl seemed dejected because of it.

"Baby, be good. It's so cold right now, it's not healthy for your body, I'll let you have it tomorrow during the day, okay?" Lomesa almost gave in to her cute expression but when she remembered about her health condition, she steeled her heart and rejected her.

"Wait here." Lomesa said and left for the kitchen. After five minutes, she came out with a glass of warm milk . When Valeria saw the milk, her eyes lit up . Milk! she liked having milk. Unfortunately all her milk was always snatched away by her roommate back in their room at the orphanage. She barely got to taste milk while at the orphanage. As soon as Lomesa reached her , She once again made her sit on her lap but this time, she didn't feed her. Valeria took the milk herself. After she was done and Lomesa cleared the table, the two of then headed upstairs. Lomesa picked up the girl and put her on the bed, she didn't let her lie down first, instead, she made her sit down first. This was because she had something to talk to the kid about. After explaining everything and giving her directions on what she should and shouldn't do, the girl nodded obediently.

"Remember not to open the door no matter what, okay? Also, the kitchen is absolutely out of bounds. " Lomesa said in a strictly tone.

Valeria understood that Lomesa cared for her so she naturally nodded obediently.

After that, Lomesa adjusted the pillow on the little girl's side and made her lie her head on it. After doing so, she coverd the girl with the fluffy and thick blanket.

"Go to sleep, goodnight." Lomesa pecked her on the cheek.

"Goodnight. " The girl answered lightly. She was feeling sleepy , especially after eating too much at the table not long ago.

After Lomesa swutched off the light on the bedside table, she covered herself with the same thick blanket that she had used to cover Valeria with. She then pulled the little gir into her arms. When Valeria was pulled into Lomesa's embrace, she felt so safe and secure. She immediately searched for a more comfortable position in her arms and curled up obediently. Lomesa glanced at the little girl and the corners of her lips twitched. The little girl actually took her hand as a pillow?

The following day, the alarm rang and woke Lomesa up. It was on Monday so she had to get up and prepare for school. When she looked at little girl still asleep in her arms, she became gentle with her movements. She gently pried the girl's hands that were tightly wrapped around her. After managing to do that, she placed Valeria's head gently on the fluffy pillow and covered her well, before walking into the bathroom to freshen up. After that, Lomesa went into the kitchen and prepared tea for the two of them. Luckily, there were muffins, buns and bread in the kitchen. Lomesa just warmed up the buns and muffins in the microwave . While they were warming, she made freshly squeezed strawberry juice and mango juice She placed them in a jar and coverd them before putting them on the dining table. These were meant for the little girl. Lomesa also placed different types of snacks on the table for the girl, the snacks weren't too much, instead, they were just moderate. She didn't want the girl to suffer from a stomachache. After all, she was still very weak. She didn't forget to place an Ipad on the the too. That would help the girl kill someone boredom. After making sure everything was ready, Lomesa left the house and headed for school. This time, she didn't board a cab, instead, she chose to jog, after all, she had become somewhat chubby from the drugs that Samantha had been secretly feeding her through food. While she was jogging, she received a call from Mrs Anastasia, the director of the orphanage.

"Hi auntie?" Lomeda greeted cheerfully.

"Hello, I was calling to inform you that the nanny you asked me to help you look for is here, what should I tell her?" Mrs Anastasia asked from the other end of the phone.

"Oh yeah, give her thus address, tell her to wait for Me there. I'll pick her up after school." Lomesa gave out the address and instructed the director softly.

"Alright, I'm going to hang up, bye" Mrs Anastasia said on the other end of the phone after noting down the address that Lomesa had read to her just now.

"Bye." Lomesa bade her goodbye and continued jogging.

She kept jogging .On her way, after a short distance, she heard muffled cries in the alley near the road. She decided to go and take a look.

When she arrived at the scene, she saw a girl being pressed down by a burly man, her clothes had Bern torn, she looked somewhat pitiful and dishevelled.

Without caring about anything, Lomesa gave the man on top of the girl a kick, sending him flying a few meters away. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood . When the others saw this, they immediately turned abd sprinted, leaving the man on the ground looking pathetic. Lomesa didn't even bother to look at him. She removed her jacket and gave it to the girl who wad still on the ground. With the danger eliminated,Lomesa turned and headed back to the road leading to school.

"Miss," The girl on the ground called out to Lomesa.

When Lomesa looked At the girl in askance,

"Thank you." The girl bowed and thanked Lomesa. Lomesa only nodded nonchalantly and continued jogging. She jogged all the way to class, beads of sweat had already accumulated on her forehead, making her bangs stick to her forehead.

Siddenly, a voice dripping with sarcasm reverberated from her class.

"Yo! look, the country bumpkin is here!"
