The boyâs mother yelled, âThatâs right! Such a child cannot be allowed to stay at this preschool. This time it was our son who was hit, but next time itâll be someone elseâs!â
Upon hearing they wanted to rally other parents to withdraw their children from the preschool, the directorâs face went as white as a ghost. She hurriedly called for Ellinor. âMadam, please come over and apologize. We canât let one child cause such a big impact on our preschool!â
Ellinor rose, dusted herself off, and walked over. After apologizing to the director, she turned her calm gaze to the parents.
âIâm not sure of the full story yet, but my son admitted that he hit someone. Regardless, hitting people is wrong, and as a parent, I apologize. Iâm really sorry. I will personally take your son to the hospital for a full check-up, and I will cover all the medical expenses.â
The boyâs father was relentless. âYou think an apology is enough? Today, not only was my son physically injured, but his young mind was also severely traumatized! All because of your child!â
The boyâs mother echoed her husbandâs thoughts. âExactly!â
Ellinor looked at the boyâs father. âSo, you mean you want a psychologist to provide counseling for your son? That can be arranged; I will take care of it.â
The boyâs father was very irritated. âWhat counseling? Do you think we canât afford it? Every child in this preschool is well-off!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. âThen what do you suggest?â
The boyâs father jerked his chin. âI want your son to kneel down and apologize to my son. If he does that, we might let him stay enrolled in this preschool; otherwise, this isnât over!â
The boyâs mother, holding her bruised son, nodded in agreement. âYes! He must kneel and apologize!â
Hearing that Baberâs apology might be enough, the directorâs face relaxed a bit. She sighed with relief and turned to Ellinor. âMadam, they said an apology from Baber would do. Go find Baber, talk to him, and get him to apologize.â
Ellinorâs face remained impassive. She simply looked calm.
After a moment of silence, Ellinor finally spoke, âAn apology is fine, provided my son is really at fault.
But as for him kneeling, thatâs not going to happen.â
Upon hearing Ellinorâs unyielding stance and noticing that she was alone without a husband, the boyâs father grew more aggressive. âYour son has made my son look like this, and you still donât think your son is at fault? Ha! Like mother, like son! I shouldnât have given you a chance. Even if your son apologized on his knees, it wouldnât be enough!â

He turned his angry gaze toward the director. âIf your preschool doesnât expel this womanâs son immediately, then prepare for doom! I am the administrator of the parent committee. I just need to tell the other parents that your preschool is harboring a violent child who assaults others. Theyâll withdraw their children without any hesitation!â
The boyâs mother added, âWho would send their child to a dangerous preschool like this?! What sort of parent would allow their kid to be attacked at any moment?!â
The director panicked. âPlease! Letâs talk this out!â
She tried to calm the boyâs father while looking anxiously at Ellinor. âMadam, it was indeed your son, Baber, who hit someone. I beg you! Get Baber to apologize. Donât put our preschool in this difficult position!â
âDirector, I wonât make things difficult for the preschool, but I need to understand the full story before deciding whether my son should apologize. Now, I would like to see the preschoolâs surveillance footage to see how the fight started.â
The boyâs father wasnât satisfied. âWhat do you mean âhow the fight startedâ? It wasnât a fight! Your son just attacked our son!â
