Only then did old Mr. McCarthy realize that she had overreacted and frightened the child.
She restrained her anger and said in a soft voice, "No, I'm not angry with you. I just feel sorry for you. Little Anne is so cute and lovely, but there are still some villains who want to hurt you. Don't worry. I will help you find them out and let them pay for this!"
Anne didn't understand what she meant, but she knew that old Mr. McCarthy wasn't angry with her, which pacified her.
However, Natalia frowned.
"Anne, are you sure that someone pushed you down just now?"
Anne's eyes widened in confusion. She looked at Natalia and then looked at Archie, who was standing next to Natalia also with a frown.
Finally, she shook her head with uncertainty.
"I'm not sure."
Although she was still a child, she knew that she couldn't wrong others with the uncertain guess.
So she just said honestly, "At that time, I just felt that I couldn't stand steadily. I forgot whether I slipped down by myself or I was pushed down by someone behind me. Anyway, I fell down accidentally."
Seeing this, old Mr. McCarthy said with a long face, "it doesn't matter. If you don't remember, we can check the surveillance video."
Then he turned to look at old Kawn, who was sitting in a wheelchair behind him, and said in a cold voice, "Old Kawn, is that okay?"
Anne had an accident in the Kawn family, which also made old Kawn be in the wrong. Of course he wouldn't refuse such a request at this time.
"No problem. That's what I should do. I'll ask someone to get it right away."
Old Mr. McCarthy nodded with satisfaction. When he turned around and saw that Natalia's clothes were still wet, he quickly said, "It will take a while to get the surveillance video. You can't get wet like this. The child is fine now, so be careful not to catch a cold. Ask someone to take you to change your clothes."
Tracy, who had been standing aside without saying a word, immediately stood out and smiled. "Yes, it's early spring now, but the weather is still cold. I have some new clothes that I have never worn before. I'll take you to change. After that, we can watch the surveillance video when we come back."
Natalia didn't mind. Instead, old Kawn stopped Tracy and said to Selena who was standing not far away, "Selena, take Natalia to change her clothes. You are about the same age, so your clothes are more suitable for her."
Seeing this, Tracy felt a little embarrassed.
But she had to follow Mr. Kawn in front of so many people.
She quickly smiled and said, "That's better. I took Selena to buy some clothes that day when we went shopping. Selena, remember to take out all of them and let Natalia choose by herself."
Selena frowned, a trace of impatience flashing in her eyes.
But she didn't refuse. She just said in a low voice, "Come with me."
Then she took Natalia out.
Archie was a little worried about Natalia. He wanted to go with her, but was stopped by Natalia's eye contact.
After all, Anne was still here. Although old Mr. McCarthy was there, she was still a little worried.
As long as Archie was here, she could at least feel at ease.
Although Selena didn't get along well with her, in her opinion, compared with other people in the Kawn family, Selena was the least threat to her.
Natalia followed Selena into her room. The decoration of Selena's room was very simple and elegant, and the whole room was in the modern and simplest style. It didn't look like a girl's room, but more like a boy's.
As soon as she entered the room, Selena took out all the clothes, threw them on the bed and said casually, "you can choose one by yourself! Call me when you finish."
Then she was about to go out.
Natalia took a look at the clothes and suddenly stopped her.
"Miss Kawn, I have a question to ask you."
Selena was stunned. She stopped and looked back at Natalia in confusion.
"What do you want to ask?"
