Chapter 180

“Why don’t you let me into kindergarten? Did I do something wrong?” Ivy sobbed, clutching her nanny’s

hand. Her eyes had become puffy from crying.

The kindergarten staff was in a dilemma. They didn’t mean to look like they were punishing Ivy.

The children in this kindergarten mostly came from wealthy and highly-respected families. The parents

requested for Ivy to be kicked out. The staff could not offend and refuse them.

A kind staff member walked up to Ivy and comforted her, “Don’t cry. You did nothing wrong. It’s

because of your mother… What about calling your mother over and asking her to apologize to those

parents? Perhaps you can still stay here.”

“Really?”

Ivy wiped her tears and looked at the nanny with a hopeful expression.

“It’s not that easy,” the nanny admitted, her face flushed. “I’m not sure what happened. But Mrs.

Harrison is always drunk and doesn’t care about her family. How could she possibly come here to the

rescue of her child?”

The nanny was enraged by the mention of Erica’s name alone.

Every day, Erica drank and ignored Ivy. Then now, Ivy had to take responsibility for her mother’s

actions. Even the nanny, as a servant, was disappointed, let alone the child.

“Do you mean Mom isn’t coming? How about me? I can’t go to school?”

Ivy’s tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Don’t cry, Ivy. Who says you can’t go to school? If you can’t go to this kindergarten, you can go to

another one. You don’t need to come here again,” the nanny said gently, holding her arm to comfort

her.

Surprisingly, the obedient girl shook off the nanny’s hand and exclaimed, “No! I will stay here!”

Ivy was always reserved. She was even shy when she cried, afraid of making a bad impression on

others. It was the first time she had cried out loud. The nanny was taken aback.

“I don’t want to leave…”

Everyone’s attention was now drawn to them. The nanny felt very embarrassed as she saw so many

people watching them. She wished to disappear right that instant.

She held Ivy’s hand and dragged her away. Ivy kept struggling, causing onlookers to sympathize with

her.

Aileen, who was standing in the crowd, felt sorry for Ivy. She tugged at Eliana’s sleeve and asked,

“Mommy, can I talk to Ivy?”

When Eliana saw Ivy crying, she took pity on her. She would not vent her anger on this helpless and

innocent child.

“All right, go ahead,” she said gently, touching Aileen’s head.

Aileen nodded and ran after Ivy.

“Wait!”

“Aileen…” Ivy turned to face Aileen. They were now standing face to face with each other.

Aileen took a tissue from her bag and handed it to Ivy, saying, “Please wipe your tears.”

Taking the tissue, Ivy asked hesitantly, “Aileen, have you forgiven me?”

“Yes…” Aileen nodded, but then added, “But you shouldn’t lie anymore. I won’t play with a liar.”

Ivy sniffed, but her eyes lit up. “Aileen, as long as I don’t lie, we… we’re still friends?”

“Of course! Come on, let’s make a pinky promise,” Aileen said with a sweet and friendly smile on her

face.

Ivy finally smiled through her tears.

She extended her hand and interlaced her little finger with Aileen’s.

“No more lies. We’re not friends anymore if you lie again.”

“Haha…”

The two kids reconciled.

Eliana, who was watching silently behind them, smiled with satisfaction.

“Aileen is really an angel,” Silas commented.

Adrian raised his head and exclaimed proudly, “Of course, she’s my sister! And we have a wonderful

mommy.”

“You are such a sweet boy,” said Eliana jokingly.

In the meanwhile, Nana mustered the courage to enter the hospital after hesitating for a long time.

Nana walked quietly to Corbin’s ward. But she did not dare to enter.

She peered in, as if she were there to steal something.

Sure enough, she was caught the next second.

“Who are you?”
