Raegan immediately rushed over and held Janey in her arms.
âJaneyâ¦
Finally, we found you!â
Raegan hugged Janey in her arms even tighter.
âJaneyâ¦â
Raegan could no longer hold back her tears.
They streamed down her face uncontrollably.
âJaney, you scared me to death.
â
Janeyâs little face was also filled with dirt.
Her eyelashes flickered as she started to cry.
She looked guilty as she said between sobs, âMommy, Iâm sorry.
I shouldnât have hiddenâ¦â
When Raegan heard this, her heart ached.
She bit her lower Lip to suppress her sobs.
Then, she hugged Janey more tightly.
Janey was only four years old.
But she was such a sweet and sensible child.
She knew when to feel guilty and apologize.
It was as if she could already understand everything.
Raegan reached out and wiped Janeyâs tears.
Then, she asked seriously, âTell me, what did the bad person say to you?â
Raegan knew Janey wouldnât forget this traumatic experience today unless they figured out what Janey had heard from that crazy netizen and addressed it properly.
Janey pursed her lips.
It seemed she was thinking about something.
Then, she lowered her head and said nothing.
She didnât want to recount those harsh words.
Upon seeing this, Raegan held Janeyâs hands and coaxed, âJaney, you have to let me know what youâve heard from that bad person.
Then, I will tell you whether itâs true or not.
â
Janey raised her head and looked at Raegan.
And when she felt Raeganâs warm gaze, her eyes turned red and tears welled up again.
She curled her lips and recounted, âThat person said you are a bad woman and a home wrecker, and you make a living by seducing other womenâs husbands.
Thatâs why you can afford to send me to such an expensive kindergartenâ¦â
âJaney, do you believe those words?â
Janey shook her head vigorously.
âNo.
My name is Janey Foster.
My grandpa has a lot of money.
Since you are his daughter, you also have a lot of money.
I am your baby, so Iâm rich, too.
â
This was exactly what Annis had told Janey.
What Annis said was not entirely right.
But Raegan knew Annis said so out of kindness, wanting Janey not to feel inferior to other children.
âThatâs right, my darling.
I never steal or rob from anyone.
Actually, I donât depend on your grandpa.
I work hard to earn money to pay for your tuition fee.
No matter what others say, I am nothing like that.
Do you believe me?â
Janey nodded.
âSo, why did you hide?â
Janey pursed her lips again.
âThat bad person also said that I am a bastard because my daddy doesnât want me and that I am a piece of rubbish, and no one wants meâ¦â
This time, Janey could no longer continue pretending to be strong.
She leaned her little head on Raeganâs shoulder and burst into tears.
