Chapter 110 Put an End to This
Incident
He quickly looked at Charlotte, about to explain a few words, when Charlotte interrupted.
“In these past two years, I appreciate the care you’ve given
to Ben and Anna, but that’s not a reason for Danny to harm
Ben. As a mother, I cannot and will not forgive this.” Her icy gaze startled Mrs. Lucky Johnson, who was about to continue speaking but was halted by David.
“This incident was Danny’s fault. As his father, I apologize to
Ben on his behalf. I…” He looked up at Charlotte but choked on
his words.
Charlotte’s face turned cold. “Let’s put an end to this incident
here. Ben needs to rest. Please leave.”
David stared at Charlotte, feeling that her words held more
than just their literal meaning.
However, with so many people around, he couldn’t say much. He only told Charlotte, “I’ll come see Ben tonight.”
Charlotte’s steps faltered for a moment, but she didn’t refuse
outright.
Back in the ward, Ben had already recovered from some of the anesthesia. He instinctively wanted to reach out for his mother’s embrace when he saw Charlotte, but Charlotte stopped him. “You can’t move your hand. I’ll hold you.”
Charlotte approached and held Ben in her arms. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked up at her. “Mom, why did Danny push me?”
The pain from the unexpected injury wasn’t much of a concern for Ben. Being hurt by a trusted friend hurt him even more deeply.
Charlotte was momentarily at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to explain the intricate complexities behind the incident to Ben, so she resorted to attributing everything to
Danny’s jealousy.
“It’s not that you did something wrong to be hurt by others, but it’s their hearts that are the issue,” Charlotte gently touched Ben’s head and said, “We shouldn’t fear interacting with people just because we’ve been hurt. Only through
interaction can we see a broader world.”
Ben nodded with innocence and silently buried his head in
Charlotte’s embrace.
