Chapter 110 Put an End to This Incident He quickly looked at Charlotte, about to explain a few words, when Charlotte interrupted.
âIn these past two years, I appreciate the care youâve given to Ben and Anna, but thatâs not a reason for Danny to harm Ben. As a mother, I cannot and will not forgive this.â Her icy gaze startled Mrs. Lucky Johnson, who was about to continue speaking but was halted by David.
âThis incident was Dannyâs fault. As his father, I apologize to Ben on his behalf. Iâ¦â He looked up at Charlotte but choked on his words.
Charlotteâs face turned cold. âLetâs put an end to this incident here. Ben needs to rest. Please leave.â
David stared at Charlotte, feeling that her words held more than just their literal meaning.
However, with so many people around, he couldnât say much. He only told Charlotte, âIâll come see Ben tonight.â
Charlotteâs steps faltered for a moment, but she didnât refuse outright.
Back in the ward, Ben had already recovered from some of the anesthesia. He instinctively wanted to reach out for his motherâs embrace when he saw Charlotte, but Charlotte stopped him. âYou canât move your hand. Iâll hold you.â
Charlotte approached and held Ben in her arms. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked up at her.
âMom, why did Danny push me?â
The pain from the unexpected injury wasnât much of a concern for Ben. Being hurt by a trusted friend hurt him even more deeply.
Charlotte was momentarily at a loss for words. She didnât know how to explain the intricate complexities behind the incident to Ben, so she resorted to attributing everything to Dannyâs jealousy.
âItâs not that you did something wrong to be hurt by others, but itâs their hearts that are the issue,â
Charlotte gently touched Benâs head and said, âWe shouldnât fear interacting with people just because weâve been hurt. Only through interaction can we see a broader world.â
Ben nodded with innocence and silently buried his head in Charlotteâs embrace.
