Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
The kindergarten teacher respectfully invited Grace into the office. Grace saw the obvious injuries on William’s face. Jasper and Mick looked to be in better states, but their hair and clothes were a little messy.
Jasper Reed’s angry face turned into a look of grievance when she saw Grace. “Mommy, the teacher wronged me!” She looked as if she wanted Grace to get justice for her.
The teacher nearby hurriedly explained that it was because the children were fighting. William was the only one fighting with other children at first, but then Jasper joined in. Mick Reed joined in right away when he saw his sister fighting.
The children’s parents had apparently told them about Jasper and Mick Reed, so they did not dare to fight with them. They only kept hitting William.
Therefore, William’s injuries were the most serious.
“Why did they fight?” asked Grace. After all, in her opinion, William was not a troublemaker. One could even say that he was too quiet sometimes.
“The children only argued a little and William hit them first. The children were badly beaten up, and their parents have sent them to the hospital,” the teacher said, putting all the blame on William.
William kept his head down and said nothing as if he was acquiescing to everything the teacher said.
“They called William a prisoner’s child and wrongly accused William of stealing their toys. That’s why William hit them!” Jasper said indignantly.
The teacher said to Grace, “They were just saying those things, but the situation escalated when William started hitting them! Besides, a child like William will inevitably be out of place in a kindergarten like ours. For him to progress better, I think you should transfer the child to another kindergarten.”
Obviously, the teacher did not want William to stay in the kindergarten. The child was admitted to the kindergarten by the Reed family, but having a child with a mother who committed suicide in the detention center would only affect their reputation.
Grace said right away, “I don’t think what the kids said was any less harsh than William hitting them. I don’t think it’s wrong to fight back when you’re insulted either! Also, if you think William isn’t fit to be here, I’ll transfer the three children to another kindergarten. There will be other kindergartens in Emerald City suitable for them!”
With that said, Grace crouched down and looked at the little one with scars on his face. “I know that you must be in great pain. I’ll take you to a doctor later. These wounds will soon heal.”
William stared blankly at Grace. His pretty eyes widened, and his little face seemed shocked. He was surprised that she would speak up for him.
In his opinion, the woman in front of him should hate him and be disgusted with him.
It was because his mother almost killed her.
“Alright, let’s go.” Grace took William’s hand and headed out of the office with the three children.
It was then that the teacher came to her senses. ‘Did Mrs.
Reed say… she’s transferring the three children? Does that mean Mick Reed and Jasper are also transferring?
‘Gosh! If the Reed family’s children transfer elsewhere, it’ll cause a great uproar in the kindergarten. The director will scold me to death if he finds out!!
She was just trying to kick William out of the kindergarten. Kids like him did not belong in a kindergarten like theirs! However, who would have thought that Mrs. Reed would be so resolute for the child of a deceased prisoner who once harmed her?
The teacher ran out, wanting to change her mind. However, Grace had already gotten in the car with the three children.
In the car, Jasper blew hard at the injuries on William’s face. “It doesn’t hurt… It doesn’t hurt. Mommy will take you to the doctor soon.”
William looked at Jasper before looking at Grace. He suddenly said, “I don’t have to go to kindergarten.”
Grace smiled. “You can learn a lot of new things and play with other children in kindergarten. Jasper loves going to kindergarten. She even cries when she doesn’t have to go on weekends! This time, I’ll choose a good kindergarten. The three of you can then go together.”
William only thought that the smile of the woman before him was so gentle and different from his mother’s smile.
‘Is this… Jasper’s mommy?’
“Mommy, when will Daddy be back? I want Daddy and Mommy to fetch us to the new kindergarten on our first day! How many more days will he be away on his business trip? I miss Daddy!” mumbled Jasper Reed.
Mick Reed also stared at Grace, clearly wondering when his father would return.
Grace pressed her lips together slightly. She still kept a smile on her face, not wanting her children to sense anything unusual. “I think he’ll probably be back in a few days. I’ll fetch you to the new kindergarten with Daddy when the time comes.”
Jasper cheered at her a**urance, but Mick Reed cautiously asked for confirmation, “Really?”
“Of course! I wouldn’t lie to you!” Grace rubbed her son’s tiny head. It was a promise and also a show of her determination.
She had to find Jay no matter what. She had so much to say to Jay! She wanted to tell him how much she loved him and that he had never been a loser in their relationship!
After seeing a doctor, it was confirmed William only had some skin trauma, and the wounds on his face would not leave scars. Hence, he was just given some ointment.
Grace was afraid that the five-year-old might confuse the ointment with something else and swallow it, so she decided to put it away. She would apply it to the little one’s wounds herself every day.
However, her daughter asked her for the ointment at night. “Mommy, I’ll apply the ointment for William.”
Grace raised her eyebrows slightly. “Do you know how to do it?”
“Yes!” The little one nodded her head hard. “I’m not a child anymore!”
It was somewhat funny that a five-year-old was saying that she was not a child. However, Grace also knew how reserved William was with her. Every time she approached the boy, she could feel the tension in his body.
She pondered for a moment and handed the ointment to her daughter. “Then apply it for William. But remember that the ointment can only be applied externally, not eaten. Remember to wash your hands after applying the ointment!”
“Okay.” Jasper nodded her little head and skipped to William’s room with the ointment. Of course, it was also her room because she shared a bed with William at night.
Jasper entered William’s room. The room was well decorated and there were a lot of toys in the room. Of course, Jasper had moved these toys from her room, so they were dolls and toys for girls.
William froze slightly when he saw Jasper come in. Then, he saw the ointment in her hand. He reached out to take it.
However, Jasper insisted on applying it for him herself. “We’re best friends. We should help each other!” she said persuasively.
His lashes quivered slightly. His mother had told him before that he and she would never be friends.
Jasper uncapped the lid, squeezed out the ointment, and applied it to William’s injured face. Then, she used her two hands to take off his clothes.
William’s little face blushed. “I… I’ll do it myself.” He was five years old but already had an idea of things regarding gender identities.
“You have injuries on your back too. You can’t see them,” she muttered. She went on to undress him and apply the ointment.
Her little hands continued to apply the ointment. In her opinion, the more ointment she used, the sooner William would get better.
