Chapter 2955
"We're okay," Nolan and Lana assured everyone.
The school staff, visibly relieved to see the children unharmed, showed their concern, asking if the kids were injured or frightened.
"The children are fine. They hid and fell asleep, so they didn't hear when they were called," Nicole explained.
"It's good that the kids are found," the staff said together, clearly relieved that the children weren't in danger.
"I'll take them home now. They will rest for a couple of days before coming back to school," Nicole decided, intending to give Nolan and Lana some time off.
"Alright," the homeroom teacher agreed, accompanying Nicole and the children to the kindergarten's exit.
"Let the kids rest well. We're sorry this happened. We'll strengthen our security measures," the homeroom teacher sincerely apologized to Nicole.
Nicole, feeling a bit responsible herself, replied, "We should be the ones apologizing."
She knew it wasn't the kindergarten's fault and was just thankful that no other children or teachers were troubled.
After getting into the car and driving away, a heavy silence enveloped the vehicle.
"Nicole, what exactly happened?" Tia asked, her eyes filled with concern. 'Today's events are truly frightening. What if something had happened to Nolan and Lana?'
Nicole glanced at Nolan and Lana, then deflected the question, "Let's just get home first.”
Realizing it wasn't appropriate to discuss the incident with Nolan and Lana present, Tia softly agreed, "Okay."
When they arrived at the Riddle residence, Gloria, surprised to see them home early, asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
"There wasn't much to do today, so we came back early and picked up Nolan and Lana as well," Nicole said, making up an excuse.
After the children had bathed and changed into their pajamas, Nicole tucked them into bed.
"Mommy, I'm fine now. You can take Lana back to her room, " Nolan said, pulling up his little blanket and speaking with a maturity beyond his years.
Nicole gently ruffled his hair. "You both should sleep together tonight. I'll stay until you're asleep, then I'll carry Lana back to her room," she assured him.
At this moment, she felt uneasy about leaving Nolan alone. Though he appeared alright, the events of the day could still be troubling for a young child.
"Okay," Nolan agreed, obediently closing his eyes.
"Mommy," Lana didn't lie down but instead cuddled into Nicole's arms.
Nicole held Lana close, gently stroking her hair. "Don't worry, Mommy's here with both of you. Go to sleep,” she whispered comfortingly.
Nolan, who hadn't slept during the usual nap time due to the day's events, and Lana, though she had slept, were both visibly shaken and exhausted.
