"How are you holding up, Director Nancy? You look really sad." Erin asked gently. Nancy's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jessie lying unconsciously on the hospital bed.
Nancy merely nodded. She took her gaze from Jessie when she heard her phone buzz.
When she checked it, there was a new message. It said, "What are you doing right now, dear? Is there anything else you want me to do? Just tell me." The message was from Charles.
'If I don't reply to him, will he keep sending me messages?' Nancy thought to herself as she read it.
'When did he become so indecisive? It's really getting on my nerves.'
"Alright, Charles. Please don't text me anymore. Stop bothering me!" Nancy typed her reply but deleted it immediately. She had no time to deal with this nonsense.
"Erin, will you please reply to this message for me!" She quickly handed her phone to Erin.
"Hmm, okay. Let's see..." Erin took the phone and clicked it. "Director Nancy, what should I say?"
"I don't really care anymore. You can say anything as long as it'll make Charles stop sending messages," Nancy replied as she rolled her eyes and fixed her hair. She seemed annoyed.
"I see. Well if you're sure..." Erin turned her attention to the phone and opened the message. After she read it, she smiled and mumbled, "I didn't quite expect that Mr. Fu would say such sweet things!"
Meanwhile, Nancy was deeply distressed because of Jessie. She merely sighed and remained silent the entire time.
Even though Nancy and Charles were n
don't want to say anything, then just let your son apologize to me. Only then will I consider that this matter is over!" the man shouted angrily. He even had the audacity to force them to apologize! This man was the worst!
"Mommy, it really hurts!" Bobby said out loud as he forced himself not to cry. He kept his head down but he was sure he heard Charles' footsteps.
Because Nancy told him that she was going to pick up the children, Charles thought he had to come by the school too.
He was looking forward to see Nancy today. He got out of the car quickly. To his surprise, he saw her arguing with a man.
Charles' expression immediately turned sour when he saw the two kids standing there looking frightened. They looked really terrified.
When he heard Bobby, the man replied angrily, "I only hit you once. Why the hell are you shouting?"
"No! You hit Bobby several times. I saw it with my own two eyes!" Nadia yelled as she hid behind Nancy.
"Yes he did, Mommy. He hit my arms and legs repeatedly! It really hurts, Mommy... My whole body hurts!" Bobby eventually cried out. He was sobbing so hard he couldn't say another word.
Nancy hugged Bobby close to her and patted his head lovingly. "Sir, if my son really did hit your son, then it was my son's fault. But you can't just beat up my son like that! You should have talked to us about it first!"
"Humph! Your son hit mine first! He got what he deserves! An eye of an eye!" the man replied arrogantly. It seemed like he was still holding on to his pride.
