Chapter 190



.

Nora, who had seen even more irrational patient relatives, didn’t bother. Instead, she wrote, “Jimmy is likely suffering from encephalitis.”

She was about to send the message after composing it when she suddenly saw a message notice:

“The administrator has banned you from the group chat.”

Nora, “?”

She raised her eyebrows and stared at her cell phone for a while. A moment later, she scoffed and opened Cherry’s chat window. Then, she texted Pete, “He’s probably suffering from encephalitis. Have his father take him to the hospital to get checked out.”

Doctors should be benevolent.

Discover your escape on g aln ov el s .com The boy was still very young. I didn’t want to let the matter go unchecked.

Nor did he want to lower himself to the level of his parents.

After sending the message, he lay down and prepared for sleep.

In the garden.

Pete approached Jimmy after reading Nora’s message and relayed his words to him.

Jimmy was so scared that he immediately burst into tears. “Sob! I’ve got encephalitis! Am I going to die?”

Miss Lynn gasped as Jimmy burst into tears. She tried to reassure him, but he was crying and asking for his mother.

As a result, Miss Lynn could only call Jimmy’s mother.

Jimmy’s mother was a woman with a strong and direct temperament. After receiving the call from the teacher, she went straight to the garden quickly and decisively.

She immediately saw Jimmy, who was crying so hard he couldn’t breathe.

Jimmy’s mother was immediately frightened. “What’s wrong, have you been bullied by your classmates?”.

A sobbing Jimmy replied, “Mommy, I’m dying. I have a very serious illness. Sob…”

His mother frowned and asked, “Who told you that?”

“It was Cherry.”

Jimmy’s mother immediately became furious. She yelled at Miss Lynn, “Who’s Cherry?”

Miss Lynn wanted to stop her, but Jimmy’s mother, who was a tall, burly woman, was simply too strong. She pushed Miss Lynn away, entered the classroom, and demanded, “Where’s Cherry?”

Pete calmly stood up and frowned.

Upon seeing him, Jimmy’s mother immediately went into a rant. She said, “Why did you say such nonsense to Jimmy? Don’t you know it’s not right to scare children? Apologize to Jimmy at once.”

Jimmy was holding his mother’s hand. The five-year-old looked confused; evidently, he didn’t know what was going on.

He shook his mother’s hand and said, “Mommy, Cherry didn’t mean to scare me. My head hurts. I’m really sick…”

“What do you mean you’re sick?” Jimmy’s mother’s expression turned cold and she said, “It’s normal for a child to have a headache and a fever. Besides, it always stops hurting your head every time you come home. Besides, all the members of our family are in good health. What kind of illness can you have? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

It wasn’t that Jimmy’s mother didn’t care about her son. It was just that every time she took Jimmy home during the last few incidents, his head always stopped hurting when they were about to go to the hospital.

After this happened several times, it was inevitable that Jimmy’s mother suspected that he was just pretending to be sick.

If not, why did his head only hurt in the garden and never at home?

Jimmy’s mother pointed at Pete and scoffed, “Well, you’re a child, so I won’t stoop to your level. I’ll get your mother instead.”

She looked at Miss Lynn and said, “Tell Cherry’s mother to come to the garden! Otherwise, I won’t let this matter rest today! How can I let my little Jimmy be bullied in the garden?”

Miss Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Jimmy’s mother had a temper, she was reasonable and had not raised her hand against the child. She was a much more decent person than Whitney Lowe.

Miss Lynn hurried to call Nora.

Pete sat in his seat while Jimmy’s mother waited with her son in Miss Lynn’s office.

Beside him, Mia was terribly nervous. She tugged on Pete’s sleeve and whispered, “Cherry, it has come to my attention that Jimmy’s parents are prominent figures in the underworld. Whoever offends Jimmy will be…”

He raised his hand, swiped it across his neck and added, “…secretly murdered!”.

Pete, “?”

Mia was so scared she cringed after speaking. “My mommy also told me not to offend Jimmy when I got to the garden. Jimmy’s mom looked so scary right now!”

The other children were also discussing the matter quietly among themselves.

“Will Cherry stop coming to the garden tomorrow?”

“I heard that Jimmy’s father has a big pet tiger that only eats children! Will it eat Cherry on the way home?”

“You mustn’t die, Cherry!”

“Sob, Cherry, I like you very much…”

The children’s world was very simple and innocent, especially when Cherry, the charmer, had already become their favorite person in the class.

As a result, Pete was surrounded by the children. They all had red eyes as they waved goodbye to him.

“Cherry, I like you the most. You have to come to school alive tomorrow, okay?”

“Cherry, why don’t you go buy a piece of meat after the garden? That way, even if you run into the big tiger, you can let him eat the meat so he won’t eat you…”

“Here, Cherry, this is for you. It’s a little hammer my mom gave me. She said I can use it to hit anyone who bullies me. Why don’t you take it and hit the tiger with it?”

“…”

Pete, “…”

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. These kids were so silly…they were so cute.

The feeling of loneliness that had been hidden deep in her heart since she was born seemed to have unknowingly faded a lot during her kindergarten days.

Mia became even more frightened. Her eyes reddened as she said, “How about letting Daddy take you home from kindergarten today?”

To Mia, her father was the most powerful person!

“… No, that’s okay,” Pete replied.

As a result, when an upset Nora ran into the kindergarten after being awakened, she immediately saw her son being surrounded and dismissed by a crying crowd.

Nora, “…”

Before she could say anything, however, Jimmy’s mother pounced on her. She jabbed her finger in his face and said angrily, “Never mind that you said silly things in the group, but how can you also say such nonsense to a child? Look how pale Jimmy has turned because of you.”

Jimmy followed his mother from behind. The little boy was trembling all over his body and looked like he was going to have a fit because of how much he was crying.

Nora frowned and said, “Now is not the time to argue. I suggest you take your son to the hospital for a checkup right away.”

“To hell with the checkup!” Jimmy’s mother shouted angrily, “We’ve already met in person, and yet you’re so full of hot air! It’s all because your daughter scared him and my son’s been like this! Encephalitis? …. Would someone need a spinal tap for encephalitis? That’s the first I’ve heard of that! Aren’t spinal taps related to leukemia or something? Are you sure you know what you’re talking about or not?”

Nora, “…”

Jimmy’s mother rolled up her sleeves as if she was about to punch someone. She demanded, “I want you to apologize to my son right now! Tell your daughter to apologize to my son too. Take back what you just said and tell her that it was all just a joke.”

As soon as he said that, however, Jimmy suddenly clutched his head in his hands and vomited.
