The ground outside was slick from the rain, which suggested that Colbys injury might have resulted from this Little troublemakers antics.
As expected, when pressed, the little girl stuck out her tongue.
Colby got hurt because he tried to protect me.
Upon further questioning, Lucinda discovered that after the rain, Destinee had been chasing dragonflies and had accidentally slipped.
Colby had shielded her with his body, preventing her fall.
The event unfolded so quickly that neither Sonny nor Aldric could intervene before Colby was injured.
Yet, Sonny assumed full responsibility for the mishap.
Before Lucinda could respond, he apologized profusely, Im sorry, Lucinda. It was all my fault.
I was too careless and didnt catch them in time, leading to Colbys injury.
I truly apologize.
Colby, who had always been fragile and needed extra care, had been injured on his watch, which weighed heavily on Sonny.
Sonny hung his head in deep regret.
Nathan, Lucinda, Im really sorry for not looking after Colby properly.
Lucinda was torn between being speechless and finding the situation amusing; how could she blame him for a childs playful mishap? Its okay.
They are just kids Before Lucinda could finish, Nathan cut in sharply, Yes, it is your fault.
Since you admit your mistake, do three hundred push- ups now and ensure this wont happen again.
Lucinda gave Nathan a look, questioning whether he was serious.
Well, Sonny⦠But Sonny, ever so stubborn, interrupted, Lucinda, Nathan is right.
I wasnt vigilant enough, so Ill do the three hundred push-ups here.
Without further ado, Sonny handed his jacket to Aldric and began doing push-ups.
Nathan watched with a cool detachment.
If it hadnt been for Sonny reporting on him, Lucinda might never have discovered his unhealthy habits of irregular eating, excessive drinking, and staying up late. That made Lucinda concerned.
She nearly decided to impose another punishment on him.
Nathan had been looking for a reason to discipline Sonny.
Sonny grunted through his push-ups, and Destinee wriggled, trying to get down from Lucindas arms.
Mommy, put me down.
Lucinda wasnt sure what she was up to, but she suspected the little one was plotting another mischief.
Destinee approached Sonny, crouched in front of him, and with a mischievous smile showing her little canine teeth, said, Uncle Sonny, when I see those strong men on TV do this, they usually have weights on their backs.
Its called exercise with weights.
