Chapter 2092: Chapter 2306

Despite his earlier brusqueness toward Kyson, a sense of being unfairly treated crept over him.

“Mommy, are you scolding me on Kyson’s behalf? Do you think I’m a bad kid because I hurt Kyson’s hand badly? Do you want to punish me too?”

“Colby…” Lucinda sighed once more, her heart heavy with empathy.

“Because of him, I have this illness and can’t attend kindergarten like Destinee.

I can’t forge new friendships.

Every day, I endure the discomfort of IV drips and pain.

I merely wanted to play a harmless prank on him, so he’d leave me be.

Who could have predicted he’d actually slice open the durian with his hand…”

Colby had always prided himself on his resilience and aversion to tears.

Yet, for the first time, his eyes welled up with redness and tears threatened to spill over.

Despite this, he valiantly fought to hold them back, keeping his gaze steady, unwavering.

Lucinda’s heart constricted with sorrow.

Colby’s sensitivity was palpable.

She hadn’t uttered a word, yet he’d already grappled with a multitude of emotions.

She enveloped Colby in her arms, gently patting his back to soothe him.

“I didn’t mean to scold you, mor do I intend to punish you.

I support you in asking Kyson to fulfill those three requests.

”

Colby gazed up at Lucinda, taken aback by her response.

“Really? Mommy, you’re not mad at all?”

Lucinda rubbed Colby’s nose and replied, “No, I’m not angry.

He made you ill.

You asked him to hand-cut the durian, and he got hurt.

It’s only fair.

Under normal circumstances, Lucinda wouldn’t encourage such vengeful actions, but since Colby had already taken them, she saw no reason to object.

Colby was slightly surprised.

“I thought you’d want to teach me a lesson.

”

“Your daddy and I will always support you and Destinee.

We’ve never once thought you’re a bad child.

You can solve seventh-grade math problems at the age of five.

To us, you’re a little genius.

”

Lucinda’s gentle pats on Colby’s back persisted as she continued, her tone earnest, “However, there must be boundaries to seeking retribution.

While I’m here to support you, you must not cross certain lines.

You cannot inflict serious harm upon others, nor can you harm innocent individuals simply because you dislike their actions.

I won’t condone such extreme actions.

There will be consequences.

”

She stood by her children’s side, but not at any cost.

She believed in self-defense, not provocation.

She avoided trouble, yet remained unafraid of it.

These principles were deeply ingrained within her.

Upon hearing her words, Colby nodded resolutely, affirming, “Mommy, don’t worry.

I understand.

But Mommy… Why do you seem so… uneasy?”

Lucinda struggled to articulate her feelings.

Since entering the room, she had been holding her breath.

But now, she could no longer contain it.
