Lilly was puzzled. Master, you don’t usually work overtime at night.
She shook her head and ignored him, focusing on playing with the jar of souls in her hand.
“Jar, are you full yet?” Lilly murmured, “Why don’t you catch ghosts and fill yourself up?”
Lilly continued to mutter, “Jar, did Master do something wrong? Should we catch him and put him in?”
Upon arriving at school, Lilly discovered that Ray, the boy she had fought with the previous day, was absent.
A girl approached Lilly’s table, carrying food. She looked at Lilly with joyful eyes.
It was the same girl who had her chair kicked by Ray the day before.
“Lilly, you’re amazing!” the girl exclaimed. “My name is Mia. Do you remember me?”
Lilly nodded while chewing her food. “Yes!”
Lilly had an excellent memory!
Mia said excitedly, “My mom told me that Ray is in the hospital!”
Lilly was surprised. “What?”
Mia leaned in closer and whispered. “Ray’s grandma sent a message in the class group chat yesterday, criticizing the teacher and the school. She even insulted your dad!”
“Then, your dad responded!”
Lilly was bewildered by this news.
Lilly had been unaware of it because Uncle Anthony and Daddy hadn’t let her know.
Lilly asked earnestly, “How do you know about this?”
Mia replied, “My mommy mentioned that Ray’s grandma even sent a photo of Ray in the hospital, and I saw it.”
Lilly was shocked.
What?
He’s in the hospital because of that!
Lilly was puzzled. She hadn’t used much force, but Ray had ended up in the hospital.
Ha! Ray is so weak…
Meanwhile, Mia was delighted. Ray had given Mia nicknames and even pinched her 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 Ray’s grandma.
Mia could never forget that day when Ray’s grandma and her mother argued at the classroom door.
Ray’s grandma shouted, “You’re accusing Ray of pinching Mia’s face, but did you witness it yourself? Your daughter, Mia, is lying! Isn’t she fine? Stop making false accusations.”
Mia’s mother said it was inappropriate for a boy to pinch a girl’s face, hoping that Ray would be taught not to do that anymore.
Unexpectedly, Ray’s grandma retorted, “The children were just playing innocently. Don’t label them with ill intentions! Children may pinch each other sometimes when they’re playing. Don’t blow the incident out of proportion.”
At that time, many people had gathered. Mia felt embarrassed and sad about it.
The situation seemed to suggest that Mia was at fault…
Mia’s mother had no choice but to ask Mia to stay away from Ray and not play with him.
Now that Lilly had beaten Ray to the point where he was hospitalized, Mia thought her parents were delighted. Mia thought Lilly was incredible, considering her a superhero because of it.
As the other children heard the story, they started chatting about it.
Children have a unique way of talking. Mia announced loudly, “Ray is a naughty boy. Now that Lilly has taught him a lesson, she’s awesome.”
Mia said, “Lilly is the best!”
The other children chimed in, “She is the best!”
Mia added, “The superhero!”
The rest of the children continued, “The superhero!”
On the second day of school, Lilly gained some fans because of it.
However, Lilly was baffled by how it had happened.
Lilly didn’t know the reason.
Nevertheless, Lilly was delighted to have four friends around her, playing with her most of the time.
…
Meanwhile, something happened in the hospital.
Ray’s grandma erupted with anger in the doctor’s office. “My grandson said he was in excruciating pain, but you haven’t found out what’s wrong! You’re an incompetent doctor!”
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, just a slightly red knee.
“Calm down. Your grandson has only suffered a minor injury. Don’t worry…”
Unexpectedly, Ray’s grandma raised her voice. “What are you saying? How is that a minor injury?”
“How 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? I’m going to expose you to the public!”
The doctor didn’t know how to reply.
The doctor had no choice but to write a vague conclusion on the medical report, “Suspected ligament injury…”
Ray’s grandma was dissatisfied, thinking the written remarks were too mild. She demanded, “I have searched online, and I found out that my grandson’s condition is likely to be torn cartilage. Write that down.”
The doctor was worried that Ray’s 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 disclaimer…
The medical report stated, “Suspected ligament injury. Suspected torn cartilage. Further examination is recommended.”
Ray’s grandma wasn’t happy about it, but she got what she wanted.
Later, Ray’s grandma posted the incident online. She claimed that her grandson had been beaten up to the point of being hospitalized, and the doctor suspected a ligament injury and torn cartilage.
Ray’s grandma complained in the video, “My grandson was fine when he went to kindergarten in the morning, but he came back home injured. I spoke to the other child’s parents, but they slapped me.”
“My grandson didn’t provoke anyone! He accidentally touched the other child’s hair while exercising, and he was hit because of it!”
“The girl is violent. It must be because of her father. She will hit anyone at the slightest provocation, and she doesn’t apologize even when adults are present. She is arrogant.”
“I only wanted an apology. Since we’re all from the same school, I thought a simple apology would suffice, but I never expected…”
The grandma wiped her tears in front of the camera.
