âAre you a puppy? Why are you biting people?â
This time, the biting action failed because Tyeâs head was held by Brandon.
Brandon had big hands and slender fingers He covered half of Tyeâs head with just one palm, Tye was stimulated. Even if he was imprisoned, he was constantly baring his teeth and waving his arms with his chest heaved up and down. Angry cries kept coming out of his mouth.
Seeing Tye being like that, Savanna was distressed. She walked to the front of Tye and squatted down to hold his face.
âTye, look at me. Easy. Take a deep breath.â
The bitten kid was frightened and quickly hid behind his mother, begging to leave.
At this time, under Savannaâs caress which was full of motherly love, Tye finally calmed down. His eyes were still red, thus he looked extremely aggrieved.
âItâs okay. Itâs okay, I am here.â Savanna embraced Tye and patted his back to comfort him.
âMom, letâs go. I donât want to stay with this crazy boy. Heâll kill me.â
The kid took his motherâs hand and insisted on leaving.
Brandon strode with his long legs and took a step ahead of them, blocking the door of the office. His tall figure almost blocked all the light.
âStop. You are only allowed to leave after apologizing.â In the light, Brandon said in a cold voice. He was like a Shura crawling out of hell, looking for a sacrifice.
â1 ⦠Iâm sorry.â The arrogant woman turned obsequious at this time. âIt was my kidâs fault. You donât have to pay for the medical expenses.â
She patted her son on the shoulder and reminded him, âHurry up and apologize!â
Although the kid was afraid, he still complained, âHe is a mad dog. I donât want to apologize to him.â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting!â The woman slapped him.
âIâm sorry,â The kid said as he was beaten.
Brandon stepped aside and glanced coldly at the two. âNow you can go.â
âMs. Austin, see you later.â As soon as the woman finished speaking, she pulled the kid and went flying out of there.
âMommy, why should I apologize to that little mad dog? Heâs not a normal kid.â
âSo what? Donât you see how scary that man is? We canât afford to offend that family!â
âStop talking. Letâs just go!â
Everyone in the office heard the conversation between the two.
For a moment, the office was filled with an awkward silence.
After a while, Jennie broke the silence. âTye may be timid and not used to school on the first day. Why donât you take him home today for a rest and let him come back tomorrow?â
It seemed to be the best for such a situation.
Brandon bent down to pick up Tye and carried him in his arms.
âCome on, letâs go home.â
That night, Savanna did Tye a long time of ideological work, letting him get along well with the other kids.
She told him not to fight and be friendly with the others.
She told Tye that even if he couldnât interact with the others, he should not ignore them.
Tye did not say a word. So Savanna didnât know if he had accepted her words or if he simply did not listen at all.
Savanna sighed and rubbed Tyeâs head.
Then she turned off the lights.
âJust sleep, You still have to go to school tomorrow.â
The next afternoon, Savanna received a call from Jennie again.
Tye and another student in the class almost fought.
Savanna was anxious when she heard that, she drove alone to the school.
When she stepped into the office, she saw the two kids standing at the corner of the wall.
âTye, are you OK? Are you hurt?â Savanna crouched down, held Tyeâs shoulder, and asked.
Tye shook his head Jennie rushed over and said, âThey are fine. This time, we stopped them in time.â
âThank god.â Savanna breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically. âSorry, Ms. Austin. Tye has caused you trouble again.
Jennie waved her hand and whispered, âMrs. Cassel, do you have a minute?
Savanna nodded and followed Jennie to the window on the other side of the office âThe conflict this time has nothing to do with Tye. It was that kid who started it first. He was a bit against Tye.â
âWhy did he target Tye?â Savanna didnât understand. âDid Tye do anything that made him unhappy?â
âTye is a good boy at school, but he just doesnât talk. Some kids are targeting this kind of unsocial⦠Well, introverted kids.â
Jennie was very tactful and did not use the word âunsociableâ to describe Tye âMaybe you are busy with your work and didnât pay much attention to Tye when he was little. In fact, you can visit the psychologist.â
As Jennie said this, Savanna hid no more.
âActually, Tye has autism, but he is not very serious. Other than being taciturn, heâs fine.â
âNo wonder.â Jennie nodded. âTye is actually more suited to go to some special education schools.â
âBut he doesnât have any intelligence problems and he is able-bodied. I donât think it a good idea to take him to that kind of place.â
As a mother, Savanna wanted her son to be good. She unconsciously said in a conflicted tone.
âMrs. Cassel, maybe you are biased against special education. One of my friends is the principal of a top special education school in the city. You should go and talk to her. There should be a change.â
*This is her number. You can go talk to her to know more about it.â Jennie sent a phone number to Savanna.
Savanna drove Tye home. She looked at Tye through the rearview mirror, who kept staring out the window in the back seat.
Seeing a five or six-year-old kid be so depressed, just because of going to school, Savanna, as a mother, was very distressed.
She could not help but begin to think about Jennieâs proposal of taking Tye to the special education school.
But she didnât bear to.
What was wrong with Tye being taciturn? It was not a big deal!
The next morning, Savanna came to Tyeâs room to wake him up as usual. Opening the door of Tyeâs room, Savanna was surprised to see it in a mess.
Tye was holding a small pair of scissors in his hand and cutting all the books into pieces.
Even his favorite schoolbag was not spared.
âTye, what are you trying to do?â Savanna took the scissors from his hand. âYou cut all the books. Donât you want to go to school?â
Tye looked up and shook his head in disgust.
âWhy donât you want to go to school?â
Savanna saw resistance in Tyeâs eyes.
Tye turned his head and picked up the transformer that only had one arm and one leg left, pitifully hugging it.
When Savanna saw this, she felt heartbroken.
âThen we wonât go to school today. Can we go down for breakfast?â
After breakfast, Savanna asked Lizeth to take Tye out for a stroll.
She sat in the yard of the villa and after a long thought, she dialed the number that Jennie had given her yesterday.
