He’s not dead! My son’s not dead!
Like a madwoman, the woman broke free from Vinson’s grip and sprinted toward the boy. She stretched virtual-novel.net arms out to hug virtual-novel.net son. However, to virtual-novel.net surprise, the little boy took a few steps backward fearfully and avoided virtual-novel.net arms.
She widened virtual-novel.net eyes in disbelief. “Baby…?”
The little boy shook his head. “You scolded the woman and man who saved me. You’re a meanie! I don’t want you to hug me!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net ran toward Vinson and hugged his right leg tightly.
The woman watched as virtual-novel.net own son hugged someone else’s leg while virtual-novel.net refused to let virtual-novel.net approach him. She froze as if virtual-novel.net had plunged into a pool of icy-cold water.
How is this possible? How can my precious son refuse to acknowledge his mother?
She took a few steps forward, but virtual-novel.net son immediately yelled, “Don’t come here, you meanie!”
“Son?” Tears rushed out of virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net stood there helplessly. “I… I’m your mother.”
“You’re not my mother! You’re a meanie! My mother won’t hit the people who saved me!”
The woman was rendered speechless. She opened virtual-novel.net mouth to speak, but could not even utter a single word.
Vinson did not expect the little boy to act like that either. Expressionless, virtual-novel.net glanced at the woman who was in utter disbelief. Then, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “I believe in karma. This is what you get in return for slapping her.”
“I… I…” The woman felt like virtual-novel.net strength had been drained from her. She gazed at virtual-novel.net son, feeling helpless for the first time in virtual-novel.net life.
The others surrounding them started to scold virtual-novel.net as well. “They risked their lives to save our children, but not only were you ungrateful! You even hit her…”
“Yeah! You’ve crossed the line! I was so concerned about my child that I forgot to thank his savior. Yet, when I came here, I saw you slapping her! You’re not even fit to be a human!”
“If I were them, I wouldn’t have saved your son.”
“You deserve the treatment from your son!”
The employees, whose children had been saved by Arielle, felt unjust for Arielle. The ones who were considerate passed a bottle of water and some tissue papers to her.
“Wipe your face. If a pretty face like yours becomes dirty, it won’t look good anymore.”
When the rest spoke to Arielle, they smiled benevolently. It was drastically different from the woman’s attitude when virtual-novel.net spoke to virtual-novel.net earlier.
Arielle’s fingertips trembled as virtual-novel.net took everything the others passed her. Her arms were soon filled with all sorts of items. She glanced at the rest with tears brimming in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Thank you…” She had never expected anyone to thank her, so virtual-novel.net felt extremely touched.
Everyone else smiled. “We should be thanking you instead. You’re such a nice person, Ms. Moore!”
“Yeah! If it were not for you, we can’t even bear to think of what’ll happen to our children…”
“You’re our savior! We’ll definitely work hard for Southall Group. Even if this place had become a pile of rubble, we’ll always be your employees!”
As they spoke, they pulled their children over and bowed toward Arielle with gratitude. Everyone looked very sincere.
Before Areille could speak, virtual-novel.net heard Iris wiping virtual-novel.net tears and sobbing quietly.
Sniffling, virtual-novel.net said, “Indeed, good things happen to kind people. I’m so touched…”
Although Arielle initially felt like crying, virtual-novel.net could not help but chuckle when virtual-novel.net saw Iris.
