Chapter 1510
There wasn’t a single ounce of bullshit in what Steven said. While Hannah was knocked out, he was terrified she wouldn’t wake up. He cried a lot in secret during the night.
“Is Hannah hurt? What kind of injury? How come I didn’t know? Hannah, how did you get hurt?” Farley asked.
Hannah gently touched his head, thinking family matters shouldn’t be kept from him. “I was in a car accident before and got a bit hurt. But I’m pretty much healed
now.”
“Where’s your injury?” Farley asked.
“Here, on my leg.” Hannah pointed. “Look, I can still walk. That shows it’s not that bad.”
“Did Mom and Dad go to Harbor City this month because you got hurt?” Farley asked. He remembered his parents telling him that his sister was busy with work, so they needed to take care of her for a while. They told Farley to look after himself. He didn’t think much of it. Even when they video called, he didn’t notice anything strange.
“Yeah,” Hannah replied to his question.e2
“You must have been in a lot of pain then,” Farley said.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Hannah answered,
“But it hurts so much now,” Farley silently thought. But he couldn’t cry in front of his sister. Otherwise, if she ever got bullied, she wouldn’t tell him. She wouldn’t believe that her little brother could protect her.
Hannah glanced at the doctor, then at Farley’s sweaty forehead. “Farley, it’s okay to cry. It doesn’t make you less.”
Farley turned to look at Steven. He immediately understood what was going on in the little guy’s head. He stood up and told the onlookers, “Alright, folks, show’s
over.”
Everyone in the village knew Steven’s influence. When he spoke, no one dared to disobey. Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Steven squatted next to Farley again. “Now it’s just our family and the doctor left.”
Farley looked up to verify there were no villagers watching. Then he mumbled, “It hurts so much…” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Jeo couldn’t bear to see his son in pain. He started crying too. “Farley, I’m so sorry! It’s all because I’m useless!”
Jeo was a good man, but he wasn’t a fool. He knew it wasn’t a coincidence that a dog bit a person. Yesterday, Steven had mentioned the gossip of Roger and Dario’s families, and today Farley was bitten by Roger’s dog.
Jeo cried and cried, then wiped his tears. “Farley, don’t be scared. I will definitely protect you this time.”
“Let me handle this, Dad,” Hannah said.
“Hannah, don’t worry. I am not as weak as you think,” Jeo replied.
In the past, he was kind to everyone because they were all villagers, all sharing the same surname, and were essentially family.
Now, he deeply realized that the nicer he was, the easier it was for people to take advantage. They could bully him, but they mustn’t bully his children.
