“It’s not his fault,” Doris said hesitantly. “At the time, he was busy talking to his friends, and I went to the restroom alone; no one expected to run into that scum.”
“You’re defending Daniel,” Emmeline pointed out. “If my older brother hadn’t taught that jerk a lesson, you wouldn’t have been bullied for no reason.”
“What?” Doris was confused. “Waylon taught Raymond a valuable lesson.”
“Yes, don’t you know?” Emmeline responded. “My brother was the one who directly disabled. him.”
“Oh!” Doris said, her face turning pale. “Is it really that serious?”
“You should be grateful,” Emmeline pointed out. “It’s already good enough that he didn’t take his own life!”
“But he only left for three or four minutes,” Doris pointed out. “It takes three minutes for a round trip on the road, and in the middle, he disabled someone’s limbs?”
Emmeline asked, “How much longer do you want?” “If he wanted to take someone’s life, it would only take a few seconds, and it wouldn’t even be bloody; it’s the kind that even forensic doctors can’t detect!”
Doris took a deep breath.
Oh, my goodness!
Is Mr. Adelmar a good or bad person?
The doorbell rang while the two were talking.
Mrs. Flores walked to the door and announced Daniel’s arrival.
Daniel was noticeably ashamed when he saw Emmeline there as well.
“I was negligent yesterday and did not properly take care of Doris; I came to apologize and check on her,” Daniel explained.
“Mr. Thomas, you don’t have to blame yourself,” Doris pointed out. “I don’t know what Raymond would have done to me if you hadn’t arrived in time to stop him; I’m already grateful to you.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have Waylon’s ability to help you disable someone and vent your anger,” Daniel explained.
“Don’t say that,” Doris said. “Everyone has their own way of dealing with situations, and what you did was already excellent.”
“That makes me feel a lot better,” Daniel said, scratching his chin. “Raymond bullied you all night, and I cursed myself for not hitting him!”
“If you don’t have the skills, don’t take the responsibility!” Emmeline exclaimed coldly.
Daniel was taken aback, as if he had heard this before.
He suddenly remembered Waylon telling him this just a few days before.
They truly are like siblings-they are so close!
