Chapter 263: Identify

“Abnormal?”

“This child ran into her room as soon as she reached home. She only came out when she was eating.”

After speaking, Susan Harding quickly said again, “I’ve never seen her wounds before. Did any kids bully her in the kindergarten?” Susan Harding asked.

Lauren Torres quickly explained, “No, the kids in the kindergarten played very well. We didn’t bully Ruby. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras! I didn’t lie.”

A few years ago, some parents complained that their children were wounded in the kindergarten. Thus the kindergarten installed surveillance cameras. By doing so, they could see everything clearly.

Carina Bailey patted Susan Harding’s hand.

“Mrs. Cromwell, calm down. Our school will take a look at the surveillance cameras first. If it’s not the school’s fault, then we might have to talk to you in person.”

At this moment, a nurse walked over.

“The child inside has already woken up.”

Susan Harding was very fast. She immediately stood up and ran toward the ward in small steps.

Lauren Torres Lan and Carina Bailey reacted and quickly followed after her.

Susan Harding ran nervously to Ruby Cromwell’s bed. She wanted to reach out and touch Ruby Cromwell.

However, Ruby Cromwell struggled to move to the other side of the bed. The IV drip almost dropped.

“Ruby, what’s wrong? Are you all right?”

Susan Harding didn’t seem to notice Ruby Cromwell’s rejection of her. She touched Ruby Cromwell’s arm which was full of wounds.

“Ruby, how did you get your wounds? Tell your mother, don’t be afraid.”

Carina Bailey also walked up to the other side of the bed and said gently.

“Yes, Ruby, don’t be afraid. Your teacher, friends, and mother are here. If you encounter any difficulties, tell us and we will help you. Who did this to your hand?”

Ruby Cromwell, who had just woken up, did not look very well. She stammered as she spoke.

Seeing her daughter’s condition, Susan Harding’s heart ached. She stepped forward and wanted to hug her.

However, Ruby Cromwell quickly moved in the direction of Carina Bailey.

“It’s her! It’s her who did this to me. It’s her!”

Ruby Cromwell suddenly shouted. Then, Ruby Cromwell hugged her head with both her hands, just like what Lauren Torres had seen in her room the other day.

She was murmuring something as she held her head in her hands.

The needle had dropped out from the back of her hand. Now there was a trickle of blood on the back of her hand.

Ruby Cromwell seemed to be very afraid. She moved forcefully towards the arms of Carina Bailey.

“Ruby, don’t be afraid. Tell your teacher again who hurt you.”

Ruby Cromwell pointed at Susan Harding with her right index finger.

Carina Bailey raised her head to look at Susan Harding. Lauren Torres did the same.

Susan Harding hurriedly raised her head and waved her hand.

“What? It wasn’t me! What are you talking about, Ruby? I’m your mother. I’ve never hurt you. Why would I hurt you?”

Susan Harding tried to hug Ruby Cromwell as she spoke.

Carina Bailey hugged Ruby Cromwell tightly.

“Mrs. Cromwell, Ruby’s emotion is a little unstable right now. Why don’t you go out first and let me have a good chat with her? But our kindergarten will also lodge a police report. After all…”

This could already be a case of child abuse. Moreover, the child had personally identified her.

There was no way to solve this privately in the kindergarten. The police had to intervene.

The hospital has helped call the police. Soon, the police came up to understand the situation. They then took Susan Harding back for interrogation.

Initially, they needed to take a statement from Ruby Cromwell. Since she was not in a stable condition, they could only wait for another day.

Lauren Torres had called Ben Carson to come and pick her up. Before Ben Carson arrived, she accompanied Carina Bailey and Ruby Cromwell in the ward for a while.

With Carina Bailey and Lauren Torres’s soft words of comfort, Ruby Cromwell was much calmer now.

The nurse had helped her hang the drip again.

Carina Bailey pulled on Ruby Cromwell’s blanket tenderly.

One could still see the fear in Ruby Cromwell’s eyes.

“Ruby, it’s alright now. Why didn’t you tell the teachers earlier?”

“I… I didn’t dare. I was afraid that Mom would beat me up even more if she found out.”

Carina Bailey felt bitter in her heart when she heard this.

“Where’s your dad? I’ll tell him to come over.”

Ruby Cromwell shook her head. “I don’t know where my dad is either. He’ has not come home for a long time.” Ruby Cromwell shook her head

Huh?

Lauren Torres was a little surprised. It had been a long time that Ruby Cromwell did not come home?

However, it was true that she had only been to Ruby Cromwell’s house a few times, and she had never seen her dad either.
