Nora, who had seen family members of patients that were even more unreasonable, wasn't bothered.
Instead, she wrote: ‘’Jimmy is likely suffering from encephalitis’ She was about to send the message after drafting it when she suddenly saw a message prompt”
‘’You have been kicked out of the group chat by the administrator’’
Nora: “???"
She raised her eyebrows and stared at her phone for a while.
A brief moment later, she scoffed and opened Cherry's chat window.
Then, she sent a message to Pete: ' He is likely suffering from encephalitis.Have his father take him to the hospital for a checkup’
Doctors should be benevolent.The child was still so young.She didn't want to let the matter go unchecked.
Neither would she lower herself to his parent's level.
After sending the message, she lay down and got ready to sleep.
At the kindergarten.
Pete walked over to Jimmy after reading Nora's message and relayed her words to him.
Jimmy was so frightened that he burst into tears at once.
"Sob! I have encephalitis! Am I going to die?!"
Ms.Lynn was dumbfounded when Jimmy burst into tears.
She tried to coax him, but he cried and asked for his mother instead.
As a result, Ms.Lynn could only give Jimmy's mother a call.
Jimmy's mother was a hot-tempered and straightforward woman.
After receiving the teacher's call, she went straight to the school swiftly and resolutely.
She spotted Jimmy, who was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, right away.
Jimmy's mother panicked at once.
"What's wrong? Did your classmates bully you?"
A sobbing Jimmy replied, "Mommy, I'm dying.I have a very serious illness.Sob..."
His mother frowned and asked, "Who told you that?"
"Cherry did"
Jimmy's mother became furious at once.
She shouted at Ms.Lynn, "Who is Cherry?!"
Ms.Lynn wanted to stop her, but Jimmy's mother, who was a tall and thick woman, was simply too strong.
She pushed Ms.Lynn away, entered the classroom, and demanded, "Where is Cherry?"
Pete stood up leisurely and frowned.
At the sight of him, Jimmy's mother immediately broke into a rant.
She said, "Why did you say such nonsense to Jimmy? Don't you know that it's not right to scare kids?! Apologize to Jimmy at once!"
Jimmy was holding his mother's hand.
The five-year-old boy looked confused—obviously, he didn't know what was going on.
He shook his mother's hand and said, "Mommy, Cherry wasn't trying to scare me.My head hurts.I really am 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 experience headaches and fevers.Besides, your head always stops hurting every time you get home.Moreover, people in our family are all in good health.What kind of sickness can you possibly be down with? What kind of nonsense are you saying?"
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 would always stop hurting whenever they were about to go to the hospital.
After this happened several times, it was inevitable that Jimmy's mother would suspect that he was just pretending to be sick.
Otherwise, why would his head only hurt in the kindergarten and never at home? Jimmy's mother pointed at Pete and sneered, "Fine, you're a kid, so I won't lower myself to your level.I'll look for your mother instead!"
Petey:”..."
He couldn't help rolling his eyes.
These children were so silly...that they were so cute.
The feeling of loneliness that had been hidden in the depths of his heart ever since he was born seemed to have unknowingly faded away a lot during his days in kindergarten.
Mia became even more frightened.
Her eyes reddened as she said, "How about letting Daddy send you home after school today?!"
To Mia, her father was the most powerful person ever!
"...No, it's fine,"replied Pete.
As a result, when a displeased Nora rushed over to the kindergarten after being woken up, she immediately saw her son being surrounded and sent off by a crying crowd.
Noray’...
However, before she could even say anything, Jimmy's mother rushed up to her.
She jabbed her finger in her face and said angrily, "Never mind that you were talking nonsense in the group, but how can you also say such nonsense to a child? Look at how pale Jimmy has become because of you!"
Jimmy was following his mother at the back.
The little boy was trembling all over, and he looked as if he was about to have a fit because he was crying so hard.
Nora frowned and said, "Now‘s not the time to be quarreling.I'd suggest that you take your son to the hospital for a checkup right away."
"To hell with the checkup!"
Jimmy's mother shouted angrily, "We're already meeting in person, yet you're still so full of hot air! It's all because your daughter scared him that my son has become like this! Encephalitis? ...Would anyone need a lumbar puncture because of encephalitis? This is the first time I've ever heard about it! Aren't lumbar punctures related to leukemia or something ? Are you sure you know what you're saying or not?!"
Nora, Jimmy's mother rolled up her sleeves as if she was about to hit someone.
She demanded, "I want you to apologize to my son right away! Tell your daughter to apologize to my son, too! Take back what you said just now and tell him that all of that was just a joke!"
However, as soon as she said that, Jimmy suddenly held his head with his hands and threw up.
