Adrian Zhekovaâs gaze grew heavy.
Children have tender skin, so even a small injury can look serious.
At this moment, Morgan Clarkeâs body was covered in bruises and scratches!
That Arthur Woods had deliberately attacked him, avoiding his face so the injuries were hidden from view.
âThis is outrageous!â Sheldon Rowland couldnât help but exclaim angrily.
Although medicine had been applied, these wounds were not going to heal easily.
It would take some time.
Morgan put down his T-shirt.
Cindy Clarke then said, âI chose this nursery because it has a good reputation in Belfard and charges high fees. But yesterday, my child was beaten, humiliated, and even got lost. And you knew nothing about it. And now you have the nerve to come looking for Morgan to take responsibility?â
Cindy took a deep breath and said coldly, âMorgan was wrong to fight. But why did he fight? Does the nursery ignore this because Arthur Woodsâ family sponsors the nursery? I donât want to doubt that you are biased.â
âHis family might be the sponsors, but we have paid all the nursery fees in full. My son shouldnât have to suffer at your nursery. If thatâs the case, then your nursery isnât even worth it!â
That was quite an accusation from Cindy.
Although it was true, Teacher Linda couldnât admit it!
âMorganâs mother, you misunderstand. Our nursery treats every child equally. How could this happen? I was just neglectful earlier.â Teacher Linda quickly said.
Cindy didnât make a sound. Was this matter going to be resolved with a simple claim of negligence?
âSo? Does Arthur Woodsâ family want us to take responsibility?â Cindy asked coldly.
Teacher Linda didnât dare to admit it. This was now a matter between parents.
Therefore, Teacher Linda said, âMorganâs mother, Arthur Woodsâ mother will be at the nursery at half-past one. So we hope you can come too. If Morgan can come, that would be even better. If there are any misunderstandings, letâs clear them up.â
âAlright,â Cindy agreed readily.
Teacher Linda didnât expect Cindy to agree so easily. She originally planned to persuade her further.
Hearing that, Teacher Linda immediately said happily, âThen we will wait for you at the nursery.â
The word âweâ made Cindy smirk.
After hanging up the phone, Cindy told Adrian Zhekova and Sheldon Rowland,
âMr. Zhekova, Mr. Rowland, Iâm really sorry for the trouble today. I have to take Morgan to the nursery nowâ¦â
As Cindy spoke, she paused for a moment and took an insulated food container from her bag.
âI made these beef strips myself,â Cindy placed the container of beef strips on Sheldon Rowlandâs desk. This was originally intended to be a snack for Morgan.
âYou can try them. If you like them, I can make more, along with other snacks. I think itâs quite convenient to have something to eat when youâre hungry at work.â
She didnât have anything more suitable as a token of appreciation at hand and could only give a container of beef strips.
Cindy felt quite embarrassed.
However, Sheldon didnât feel that way at all and accepted it with surprise, âI really didnât do much. This is too kind.â
âNo, you helped a lot,â Cindy insisted.
Adrian Zhekova, standing nearby, narrowed his eyes.
How did it turn out that Sheldon Rowland got all the credit?
Without his approval, Sheldonâs words would have been useless!
This woman didnât thank him, the one making the final decision, and instead ignored him to thank Sheldon Rowland?
Was she blind?!
