Chapter 1745
The boy’s mother yelled, “That’s right! Such a child cannot be allowed to stay at this preschool. This time it was our son who was hit, but next time it’ll be someone else’s!”
Upon hearing they wanted to rally other parents to withdraw their children from the preschool, the director’s face went as white as a ghost. She hurriedly called for Ellinor. “Madam, please come over and apologize. We can’t let one child cause such a big impact on our preschool!”
Ellinor rose, dusted herself off, and walked over. After apologizing to the director, she turned her calm gaze to the parents.
“I’m not sure of the full story yet, but my son admitted that he hit someone. Regardless, hitting people is wrong, and as a parent, I apologize. I’m really sorry. I will personally take your son to the hospital for a full check-up, and I will cover all the medical expenses.”
The boy’s father was relentless. “You think an apology is enough? Today, not only was my son physically injured, but his young mind was also severely traumatized! All because of your child!”
The boy’s mother echoed her husband’s thoughts. “Exactly!”
Ellinor looked at the boy’s father. “So, you mean you want a psychologist to provide counseling for your son? That can be arranged; I will take care of it.”
The boy’s father was very irritated. “What counseling? Do you think we can’t afford it? Every child in this preschool is well-off!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “Then what do you suggest?”
The boy’s father jerked his chin. “I want your son to kneel down and apologize to my son. If he does that, we might let him stay enrolled in this preschool; otherwise, this isn’t over!”
The boy’s mother, holding her bruised son, nodded in agreement. “Yes! He must kneel and apologize!”
Hearing that Baber’s apology might be enough, the director’s face relaxed a bit. She sighed with relief and turned to Ellinor. “Madam, they said an apology from Baber would do. Go find Baber, talk to him, and get him to apologize.”
Ellinor’s face remained impassive. She simply looked calm.
After a moment of silence, Ellinor finally spoke, “An apology is fine, provided my son is really at fault. But as for him kneeling, that’s not going to happen.”
Upon hearing Ellinor’s unyielding stance and noticing that she was alone without a husband, the boy’s father grew more aggressive. “Your son has made my son look like this, and you still don’t think your son is at fault? Ha! Like mother, like son! I shouldn’t have given you a chance. Even if your son apologized on his knees, it wouldn’t be enough!”
He turned his angry gaze toward the director. “If your preschool doesn’t expel this woman’s son immediately, then prepare for doom! I am the administrator of the parent committee. I just need to tell the other parents that your preschool is harboring a violent child who assaults others. They’ll withdraw their children without any hesitation!”
The boy’s mother added, “Who would send their child to a dangerous preschool like this?! What sort of parent would allow their kid to be attacked at any moment?!”
The director panicked. “Please! Let’s talk this out!”
She tried to calm the boy’s father while looking anxiously at Ellinor. “Madam, it was indeed your son, Baber, who hit someone. I beg you! Get Baber to apologize. Don’t put our preschool in this difficult position!”
“Director, I won’t make things difficult for the preschool, but I need to understand the full story before deciding whether my son should apologize. Now, I would like to see the preschool’s surveillance footage to see how the fight started.”
The boy’s father wasn’t satisfied. “What do you mean ‘how the fight started’? It wasn’t a fight! Your son just attacked our son!”
