Chapter 133
Spoiled (Lily)
After arriving at school, Lilly found out that Ray, the boy she was in a fight with yesterday, was absent.
A girl brought her food over to Lillyâs table. She looked at Lilly with joyful eyes.
It was the girl, who got her chair kicked by Ray, yesterday.
âLilly, youâre awesome!â The girl said, âMy name is Mia. Do you remember me?â
Lilly nodded while chewing her food, âYes!â
Lilly had excellent memories!
Mia said excitedly, âMy mom said Ray is in the hospital!â
Lilly was surprised, âWhat?â
Mia quickly inched closer, and she gossiped softly.
âRayâs grandma sent a message in the class group chat yesterday, scolding the teacher and school.
She even insulted your dad!â
âThen, your dad retorted!â
Lilly was bewildered by this piece of news.
Lilly wasnât aware of it because Uncle Anthony and Daddy did not let her know.
Lilly asked earnestly, âHow do you know about this!?'â
Mia replied, âMommy mentioned that Rayâs grandma even sent a photo of Ray in the hospital, and I saw it.â
Lilly was shocked.
What?
He is in the hospital because of that!
Lilly was puzzled. She did not put much strength into it, but Ray was admitted to the hospital.
Ha! Ray is so weakâ¦
On the other hand, Mia was delighted. Ray had given Mia nicknames, and he even pinched Miaâs face before.
Mia had asked Ray to stop pinching her face, but the more irritated she became, the more eager Ray seemed to be to continue doing it.
Later, Mia told her mother about it, and her mother spoke to Rayâs grandma.
Mia could never forget that day when Rayâs grandma and her mother argued at the classroomâs door.
Rayâs grandma shouted, âYouâre accusing Ray of pinching Miaâs face, but did you witness it yourself?
Your daughter, Mia, is lying! Isnât she fine? Stop making false accusations.â
Miaâs mother said it was inappropriate for a boy to pinch a girlâs face, hoping that Ray would be taught not to do that anymore.
Unexpectedly, Rayâs grandma blurted, âThe children were playing around innocently. Donât label them with ill intentions! The children may pinch each other sometimes when they are playing around. Donât blow the incident out of proportion.]
At that time, many people had gathered. Mia felt embarrassed and sad about it.
The situation hinted that Mia was at faultâ¦
Miaâs mother had no choice but to ask Mia to stay away from Ray and not play with Ray.
Now that Lilly had beaten Ray to the point where Ray was hospitalized, Mia thought that her parents were delighted. Mia thought Lilly was incredible, regarding Lilly as a superhero because of that.
As the other children heard the story, they started chatting about it.
Children talked in strange ways. Mia announced loudly, âRay is a naughty boy. Now that Lilly has taught him a lesson, that makes Lilly awesome.â
Mia said, âLilly is the best!â
The other children followed, âShe is the best!â
Mia added, âThe superhero!â
The rest of the children continued, âThe superhero!â
On the second day of school, Lilly gathered some fans because of that.
However, Lilly was baffled by how it happened.
Lilly did not know the reason.
However, Lilly was delighted to gather four friends around her, playing with her most of the time.
â¦
On the other hand, something happened in the hospital.
Rayâs grandma erupted with anger in the doctorâs office, âMy grandson said he was in excruciating pain, but you havenât found out what was wrong! Youâre an incompetent doctor!â
The doctor was speechless.
The doctor had already conducted an X-ray and MRI scan.
The doctor even did a full body check-up, including all possible tests like the CT scan and a blood test.
There was nothing wrong with the boy. He had no internal bleeding, external injuries, or fluid accumulation, but a slightly red knee.
âCalm down. Your grandson has only suffered a minor injury. Donât worryâ¦â
Unexpectedly, Rayâs grandma raised her voice, âWhat are you saying? How is that a minor injury?â
âHow can that be? He has been crying, saying his knee hurts! You did all these expensive tests, and you said nothing was wrong. Are you trying to cheat us? Iâm going to expose you to the public!â
The doctor did not know how to reply.
The doctor had no choice but to write a vague conclusion on the medical report, âSuspected ligament injuryâ¦â
Rayâs grandma was dissatisfied, thinking the written remarks were too light. She demanded, âI have searched online, and I found out that my grandsonâs condition is likely to be torn cartilage. Write that down.â
The doctor was worried that Rayâs grandma would cause a severe disruption in the hospital. At the same time, the pediatric department was already one of the most stressful departments.
The doctor had no choice but to comply. However, the doctor added some details as a disclaimerâ¦
The medical report stated, âSuspected ligament injury. Suspected torn cartilage. Further examination is recommended.â
Rayâs grandma was unhappy about it, but she got what she wanted.
Later on, Rayâs grandma posted the incident online. She claimed that her grandson was beaten up to the point of being hospitalized, and the doctor suspected a ligament injury and torn cartilage.
Rayâs grandma complained in the video, âMy grandson was fine when he went to kindergarten in the morning, but he came back home injured. I spoke to the other childâs parents, but they hit me with a slap.â
âMy grandson did not provoke anyone! He accidentally touched the other childâs hair while exercising, and he was hit because of that!â
âThe girl is violent. It must be because of her father. She will hit anyone at the slightest provocation, and she doesnât apologize even when the adults are present. She is arrogant.â
âI only wanted an apology. Since weâre all from the same school, I thought a simple apology would suffice, but I have never expectedâ¦â
The grandma wiped her tears in front of the camera.
There was a hospitalization video, a medical report, and scenes of the grandson and grandma in tears.
Rayâs grandma even purchased the ads campaign to acquire traffic.
This quickly stirred up public outrage!
âThis is outrageous! They said children always follow their parentsâ behavior! Anyone who would harm an elderly person, is undoubtedly a bad person.â
âI have seen many kids like this. They throw things, and they hit people at the slightest dissatisfaction.
Itâs all because their parents spoil them!â
âCall the police! We need to teach her a lesson! Even though she is a kid, donât let her off lightly!â
They said a crying baby would get the milk.
Those who were shameless, often got better treatment.
Backlash happened on the Internet, but most onlookers had not learned their lessons. Filled with righteous indignation, they demanded a statement from the school.
Rayâs grandma was pleased with her wit!
The Crawford family had to tread carefully with the incident getting more attention.
Rayâs parents arrived at the hospital soon after.
Rayâs parents were busy, and they rarely returned home. The parents only knew about Rayâs hospitalization after Rayâs grandma talked about it.
Rayâs mother said hurriedly, âMom, what are you doing? Do you know they are from the Crawford family, the wealthiest family in Clodston?â
Rayâs grandma snorted, âWhy do we need to be afraid of them? Is it because they are the richest? Our ancestors were even richer than they are!â
However, the family declined later on⦠After Rayâs grandmaâs marriage, the family started plummetingâ¦
Otherwise, they would be an influential family!
âWe have the MacNeil family backing us up! Weâre business partners, and I have a solid connection with Giuliana.â
No matter what, Rayâs grandma spoiled Ray a lot, and she could not stand what had happened.
Rayâs mother looked at her husband.
Rayâs father was wearing a suit, and his beer belly was pushing against the buttons.
He frowned, and he said unhappily, âMy mom is right!â
His child was his bottom line. Since his child was already at the hospital, should the family put up with it?
His mother already said that the culprit hit first.
Since justice was on their side, what would they have to fear?
