Emily took a deep breath, her voice steadying as she nodded, "I know. It's on me too. I should've kept a closer eye on Kya."
Estelle frowned, "At the Lamont's, everyone let their guard down!"
No one could have anticipated Susanna stooping so low.
Estelle, trying to lighten the mood, said to Kya, "I just made a hammock in the backyard. Wanna go play?"
Kya, still a child at heart, was easily cheered up. She broke into a smile and reached out for Estelle to hug her.
Emily spoke up, "I'll give Charlie a call. He's out looking for Kya too."
"Alright," Estelle replied, taking Kya to play on the hammock.

Emily didn't tell Charlie over the phone about Susanna's bullying, but when Charlie found Kya, the marks on her neck spoke volumes, darkening his mood instantly. "What happened to Kya's neck?"
Estelle filled him in about Susanna.
Charlie was livid, his face turning ice cold as he handed Kya back to Emily and turned to leave.
"Charlie!" Emily called out after him, worry lacing her voice.
"Charlie!"
Magdalen also approached, her expression saying it all, "I've already given Susanna a piece of my mind. If you go now, you'll just be adding a few slaps to the punishment. I've handled it."
Charlie, fury bubbling in his chest, demanded, "Why would an adult bully Kya?"
"It's probably because she doesn't like me, so she took it out on Kya," Emily speculated.
Magdalen scoffed, "She probably got a reality check from Mr. Foster and decided to vent on Kya."
"On my daughter?" Charlie's eyes were cold as ice, "Fine. We'll see if Susanna can handle the consequences, or if the Murphys can!"
