Shirley's expression froze in an instant, she's shocked, dumbfounded, and her heart was throbbing.
She had never known that the two children had a very hard time in the kindergarten.
No wonder Jacob didn't let her help him take a bath at such a young age.
She took Jacob's clothes and took a look, she didn't know what to do to console the children's spirit… After being dumbfounded for quite some time, she put Jacob's clothes back on him.
At that time, Jacob grabbed her finger and said, “Mommy, my body doesn't hurt at all, if I don't take my clothes off and take a bath, I won't even know that I'm hurt.”
It'd be better if he didn't say that, once Shirley heard that, she cried uncontrollably.
She hugged Jacob and whispered in anger, “Jacob, do not lie to Mommy like this anymore.”
“All right, from now on if anyone bullies me at school, I'll tell Mommy right away.” Jacob patted her softly with his small hands, he's consoling her instead.
But the more he's like that, the sadder Shirley felt.
“Let Mommy hug you.” Shirley held him.
Jacob didn't refuse, he hugged Shirley's waist, half of his body was sticking to hers.
He thought that he could stay strong but when Shirley hugged him, only then he realized that he's just a 5 years old child who also needed support from his parents.
Shirley gently stroked the child's head, put her face on his head, but she stopped crying.
Adult's mood would affect the child.
Every time she accompanied her kids, she was always happy, that's the only way to make the two children feel at ease.
But Bryan saw the pain she was enduring silently.
Meanwhile, Shirley looked up at him, “Does the Moore’s Manor have a family doctor?”
Hearing that, Bryan knew what she's going to do, so he nodded and said, “Yeah, after we go back to the Manor, I'll bring the family doctor to treat the child's wound.”
In the morning, Bryan had told the family doctor to treat the wound, but Jacob’s bruise wasn’t so serious by then.
Seemed like he’s too negligent.
“Thank you.” she was complaining at heart because Bryan didn't tell her what happened to the children right away, but she's still grateful that he brought the children back himself.
“You're welcome.”
Half an hour later, they returned to the Moore’s Manor.
Cameron and Daisy saw the car light and walked out of the Manor to welcome Shirley and the two children.
Bryan carried Emma, who had fallen asleep, off the car.
Cameron walked up to Bryan and said, “Let me do it.”
“Go there and take a look."
“Okay.” Cameron immediately walked over to Shirley.
Shirley just carried her child off the car, Cameron opened both of his hands widely and said, “Let me carry him.”
“There's a wound on his body, it's better for me to carry him, help me carry Emma over and bring them to my room.” both children fell asleep in the car, especially Emma, who fell into deep slumber after crying in the car.
After Cameron shut the door, Shirley turned around and spoke to Bryan, “Give the child to Cameron then call the family doctor.”
“I told Jordan to bring him over, let's go back to the room first.”
Shirley had no objection to that arrangement.
It's just that, the agreement before she had moved in seemed to have become a scrap paper, even Shirley felt that it was ridiculous.
Bryan treated her well, that made her had less and less resistance, and if it went on, she's afraid that she'd quickly...
“Wait, Bryan.”
Just to be used when those two children need?
Bryan nodded, “I'm still considering whether I should hire another physician and surgeon, now that I see it, it is necessary, in case something happens so suddenly in the future and someone isn't willing to go to the hospital.”
He glanced at the back of her hand.
Shirley blushed in an instant.
“Is this also considered as my job's benefit?”
“To treat my mental illness smoothly, shouldn't I take good care of my psychiatrist first?”
That sentence made Shirley speechless.
She looked down at the wound on her left hand, she had applied medicine three times that day, it didn't feel as painful as it was when she woke up in the morning.
But those were all what Bryan did for her in silence.
She bit her lips and didn't respond to him.
After Dr. Woods treated the two children's wounds, Shirley said, “Go back first, I'll come later.”
“No need to come over, stay for these few days to accompany the children.” Bryan looked at the two children, their sleeping faces were so quiet and peaceful, that people wouldn't have the heart to ruin it.
Shirley turned her head and looked back after she heard that.
Bryan had walked up the bedroom, pushed open the door and left.
The door closed automatically, Bryan's figure was also separated by a door.
Shirley's heart somehow got affected, the feeling that was suppressed in her heart slowly grew.
Bryan was... very strange today.
