Chapter 196 Take a shower
When Maria emerged, Alexander and Leo stood up, about to ask a question, but Blake beat them to it. "Has Luna finished showering?"
Luna? That was quite a familiar name! Alexander and Leo exchanged a resentful glance simultaneously.
Blake ignored their looks and simply waited for Maria's response.
"She's awake and wants to shower on her own." Maria gathered all six children around her. "Come on. Gather around. Your Mommy and I will bathe you."
Upon hearing that Ivy was awake, the children couldn't wait to see her.
Maria prepared clothes for the children and then lined them up to head to the bathroom.
"Mommy, we're here!"
The six children joyfully rushed in.
Maria locked the door and helped the children undress.
Before long, a few naked little kids stood before her.
"Mommy..."
"Mommy..."
"Mommy..."
"Mommy..."
One by one, they climbed into the bathtub, splashing water all over the floor.
"You mischievous bunch!" Maria looked at her wet shoes, then at the chubby little kids, feeling both exasperated and amused.
The bathtub wasn't big enough, and all six children squeezed inside, each wanting to be close to Ivy, but there wasn't enough space.
One child slipped in the bathtub.
Another fell outside the bathtub.
"Little kids, be careful." Maria quickly rushed over to pick them up.
Ivy saw this scene and giggled with delight.
"You're so carefree. Even when the children fall, you just laugh," Maria said, slightly annoyed.
"It's okay. We'll heal them anyway." Ivy finished washing herself and climbed out of the bathtub to focus on cleaning the children.
Maria's clothes and shoes were already wet, so she decided to join in and help her as well. In no time, the six little girls were sparkling clean from head to toe, and the bathroom was filled with foamy bubbles flying around.
While Ivy helped the children get dressed, Maria took a bath too, but she didn't bring any clothes with her. After bathing, she wrapped herself in a towel and began drying her hair.
On the hotel's large bed, the children piled onto it one by one.
"Mommy, this room's bed is so big! Can we sleep here tonight?"
"This is Maria's home, so you should ask her." Ivy pointed toward Maria.
Maria, still drying her hair, said, "What's there to ask? My home is your home. From today onward, you and the children can choose whichever guest room you want to stay in. As long as you're happy, it doesn't matter if we do business or not. We're not short of money anyway."
Ivy nodded. "Yes, we're not short of money. Samantha is a multi-millionaire."
Maria chuckled. "What are you saying? Even if she's not a multi-millionaire, she still has thousands of dollars. Don't worry. We won't have any problems with food and living."
"Do you think I'm joking? Samantha really is a multi-millionaire." Ivy then shared the story of Richard appraising Samantha's valuables and the peril they encountered on their way to Missouri.
It suddenly occurred to Maria that she hadn't shown any concern for Samantha since returning home and didn't even know about the car accident.
However, she heard that Samantha and Richard had recovered and were safely living at the Missouri clinic, so there was nothing to worry about.
Once the six little girls were dressed, Ivy asked them to sit in a row.
Then, with a serious expression, Ivy said, "I'll give each of you a Magic Pearl. With these pearls, you can breathe freely underwater, talk, and even sing. And when you're injured, you can use this Magic Pearl to heal. But this is our secret. No one else should know about it except us. Understand?"
Rowling quickly raised her little hand. "Understood. If others find out, the Magic Pearl will be gone." She had known the secret of the Magic Pearl for a long time.
Alice suddenly realized and said, "Mommy, did Hannah take us away because she wanted your Magic Pearl?"
"Yes, because this Magic Pearl not only heals, but it also grants eternal youth. That's why many people want to get their hands on it. So, you must take good care of your Magic Pearls."
"Okay!" All six children responded in unison.
Now, it was time for Ivy to show her skills.
