As Penny's hand lifted halfway, Jayden was alerted.
He wanted to stop Penny, but Jayla secretly pinched the back of his hand.
Jayden received her message and didn't make a move. Before Penny's hand fell on Jayla's face, Jayla suddenly fell to the ground.
Jayla screamed, and her face was filled with panic. "Help! Daddy, help! She wants to hit me!"
Penny was stunned as she saw Jayla rolling on the ground in pain. When did she have magic power? She hadn't even touched Jayla yet. How come she had already fallen to the ground?
Penny looked at her palm in disbelief and suspected that she had superpowers.
"It hurts! It hurts so much …"
Jayla curled into a ball, her shoulders constantly shaking. It looked pathetic.
Before Jayla figured it through, Christ held Jayla into the arms.
Penny finally realized that Jayla had set her up. She didn't have any superpowers!
"Jayla, how are you? Where does it hurt? I'm calling the doctor!"
He did not know what exactly happened in the living room, but Christ clearly heard Penny's words and saw Penny lifting her hand up when he went downstairs.
He didn't know where Jayla hurt, but he was sure that Penny had hit Jayla.
And Penny must have hit her hard based on how miserably Jayla cried!
"Daddy, I didn't lie. She really hit me. It hurts!" Jayla sobbed while shrinking back a little under Penny's icy stare.
Penny looked at Christ suspiciously as if a mute victim suffered a false accusation.
