When Angeline noticed the sharp increase in her daughter's weight, making her turn from a white swan to an ugly duckling, she could roughly guess what was troubling Baby Zetty.
She walked over and pulled Baby Zetty into her arms gently.
"Mommy." Baby Zetty cried her heart out in her arms." They all laughed at me and called me a beast! I don’t want to go to school anymore."
Angeline's tears rained down her face.
She gently patted Baby Zetty's back and felt the child quivering. She could tell how helpless her daughter was feeling.
"Okay, if you don't want to go to school, then you don't have to." Education might be important to Angeline, but it was nothing compared to safeguarding her child's dignity.
Baby Zetty said, "Daddy won't agree to it."
Angeline said, "I'll talk to him."
Baby Zetty complained in distress, "I don't want to be like this either, Mommy, but I can't stop myself from eating all the time or I'll be very, very unhappy.”
Tears welled up in Angeline's ethereal-looking and delicate eyes. As Baby Zetty's mother, her child's guardian, all she wanted to do now was to protect her child at all cost since she had gotten hurt.
"Baby Zetty, what if... What if Mommy gets Brother Finn back for you? Will that cheer you up?" Angeline might be acting selfishly or cruelly, but now that her daughter was sick, the only thing she wanted to do was get Finn to help Baby Zetty recover.
She had no time to care about the innocent Tammy anymore.
However, Baby Zetty was extremely resistant to the idea and shook her head vigorously. "Please don't tell Brother Finn, Mommy. I beg you. I don't want him to see me like this."
