300 Chapter 300 Let Her Get Away

Blanche’s POV

Carry’s eyes brimmed with tears as she stared at Zain, looking utterly fragile and wounded.

Zain gazed back at her, his expression softening with sympathy.

Miss Joanna pulled Carry against her, her palms carefully pressing against Carry’s belly with obvious

worry.

She dropped her voice to a whisper, asking gently, “Carry, can you tell Miss Joanna exactly where it hurts? Right here? Or maybe over here?”

Carry just continued sobbing, completely unable to speak.

Watching Carry in such apparent agony, Zain frantically told Heidi to rush and fetch some medication.

Once Heidi brought back the medicine, Zain tenderly assisted Carry in taking it.

After she’d swallowed the medicine, Zain noticed droplets of perspiration dotting Carry’s forehead. Concerned, he swept away the damp hair clinging to her cheek, gently stroking her face. ‘She must be in real pain, Zain thought, then murmured, “If you’re feeling this sick, you can skip kindergarten today.”

I stood there awkwardly in the bedroom, feeling completely out of place.

Hearing Zain say those words made my heart sink like

a stone.

‘Of course, this is exactly what Carry was hoping for, I thought bitterly.

I dropped my eyes, releasing a harsh, mocking laugh.

My mind drifted back to how Zain had appeared that morning, asking if I wanted to join him in taking Carry to kindergarten.

At the time, I’d thought, ‘I hardly ever get the chance to walk Carry to kindergarten, so I should dress nicely. That way, Carry won’t feel embarrassed introducing me to her classmates if they ask who I am.‘

I understood how children’s minds worked.

But I never imagined that all my careful preparation this morning would turn out to be completely wasted.

I was absolutely certain Carry was putting on an act, and watching Zain and Miss Joanna fall for it so completely made me want to leave immediately.

After thinking it over briefly, I stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

Once I made it downstairs, I continued with my breakfast.

Right as I finished eating, Zain appeared downstairs.

He walked over to the dining area and settled into the chair next to mine.

Noticing that I’d already completed my meal, Zain kept his words brief. He simply said quietly, “Come to the office with me later, alright?”

I’d risen so early just to make myself look flawless. If he didn’t take me out with him, all that work would be for nothing.

I didn’t overthink it. I just figured Zain wanted me to keep my word about never leaving his side.

The thought of refusing didn’t even occur to me.

But before I could respond, Miss Joanna’s voice floated down from upstairs. “Zain, I might need to take her to the hospital later.”

Zain looked up toward Miss Joanna on the second floor and replied, “I’ll arrange for the doctor to come here and administer the IV at home. Just stay with Carry, okay? She’s not feeling well today, so I need you to look after her.”

Miss Joanna answered automatically, “Alright.”

Zain made no attempt to hide anything. He told Miss Joanna directly, “Blanche and I are going to the office.”

Miss Joanna paused for a beat, then looked down at me. I rarely bothered with dressing up, but today I looked absolutely radiant–so striking that people couldn’t resist staring.

Even Miss Joanna, who’d encountered plenty of beautiful women, had to acknowledge–at this

moment, I was genuinely mesmerizing.

Miss Joanna shifted her attention away from me and asked Zain in a strained voice, “Will you be home for lunch?”

Zain paused before answering, “I’m not certain yet.”

Then he turned away from Miss Joanna, focused on me, and said, “Come on, let’s head out.”

I didn’t argue, just followed him out of the hall.

Miss Joanna remained at the top of the staircase, watching Zain and me exit together.

Seeing us side by side like that sent a sharp pain shooting through her chest, so intense she nearly stopped breathing.

But before she could fully absorb the sensation, Carry’s crying voice rang out from the bedroom, “Miss Joanna!”

Inside, Miss Joanna heard the child wailing and felt her patience finally crack–she was so frustrated she could explode. Nevertheless, she plastered a bright smile on her face and called back, “On my way!”

The moment Zain and I stepped outside Blissfield Villa, Zain opened the passenger door for me, waiting until I was seated before walking around to the driver’s side.

As the car pulled onto the road, I did my best to suppress that uncomfortable sensation churning in my stomach, but I simply couldn’t stand it anymore.

When we reached a red light, I shot Zain a furious look and exploded, my voice tight with anger, “Carry’s completely faking that stomachache.”

Zain creased his brow and looked at me. “But didn’t you mention she has lymph nodes in her abdomen? That’s what causes her stomach pain sometimes, isn’t

it?”

I fired back, “Yes, that’s correct, but what just happened was pure pretense.”

My voice rang out steady and certain.

Zain didn’t support me. Instead, he questioned, “But what if she’s actually not faking it?”

My expression turned icy. “Impossible. Previously, when she complained about stomach pain, I believed

her. But right now? She’s absolutely performing.”

After a stretch of silence, Zain finally broke it.

He released a frustrated sigh and said, “Just let her get away with it for now.”

I stared at him in shock, then snapped, “If you continue enabling her like this, she’ll become even more determined to avoid kindergarten.”

Zain looked ready to explode. “So what exactly do you expect me to do?” he shot back at me.

I met his gaze directly, my voice steady and resolute. “When she messes up, she needs to apologize.”

Zain blinked, obviously confused. “What exactly did she mess up?”

I kept my tone cold and steady. “She spat at another child and called them a bastard.”

Zain appeared genuinely stunned, but after

considering it, he let out a defeated sigh and said, “I’ll see that it gets handled.”

I shot back, “And exactly how do you plan to handle that?”

Zain replied, “So what exactly do you expect me to do?”

I responded, “She needs to apologize to that child directly, and then admit what she did in front of the

entire school.”

Zain’s eyes grew narrow as he gave me a sardonic smile. “You honestly believe that’s going to happen?”

Watching Zain constantly defend Carry, I finally lost it. I shouted, “Zain, if you want to let your daughter become someone everyone despises, then fine, keep overlooking her terrible behavior. But I’m warning you -when things go south with her eventually, don’t you dare blame me and claim I failed to discipline her properly.”

I was so heated as I spoke, my heart was racing and I struggled to breathe normally.

Zain noticed how agitated I was, then lowered his voice, teasing, “Damn, you’re really this angry?”

He maintained that casual smirk, completely relaxed- as if nothing could faze him.

Seeing him so annoyingly calm only fueled my rage further, my eyes burning with fury, practically challenging him to provoke me again.

Zain wasn’t going to give me another opportunity to scream at him. Instead, his grin became even more arrogant. “Sleep with me again tonight, and I’ll take care of everything–immediately.”

I gave

him an incredulous look and let out a bitter

laugh. “Really? You’re making jokes right now? Unbelievable.”

Zain locked his dark eyes on mine, all humor vanishing, his voice dropping to a serious tone. “I’m completely serious.”

Still seething, I pretended I hadn’t heard him. “Zain, honestly, what kind of hold does Miss Joanna have over you? Is that literally all you think about–just

sex?”

Zain raised an eyebrow, completely unbothered. “Pretty much, at least for now.”

I had reached my absolute limit. I slammed the car door and shouted, “Zain, pull over right now!”

Zain didn’t argue or resist–he immediately steered to

the curb without hesitation.

I reached for the door handle but stopped, then threw Zain a withering glare. “Keep babying her like this and soon enough, you’ll be visiting her behind bars.”

The second those words left my mouth, I jerked the car door open.

I was about to step out when Zain suddenly seized my wrist, holding me back.

I didn’t look back, but I heard Zain speak from directly behind me, his voice both gentle and firm. “Blanche, you’re Carry’s mother, I’m her father. Whatever issues arise with Carry, we need to handle them together.”
