Larissa got a call from Aster's homeroom teacher during work once again. She hurriedly made her way to the kindergarten and found Aster in the teacher's office. He stood next to the homeroom teacher's seat with his head down, his eyes red even as his teeth bit down hard into his lower lip. The look on his face was one of stubbornness.
Well, he did not look ill.
Larissa released a little sigh of relief.
The homeroom teacher stood up immediately upon seeing her.
"Ma'am—"
Aster turned to look at her, and his eyes were a little watery. His stubbornness gradually faded into unhappiness. Her heart aching, Larissa hastened forward to bring him into her arms.
"Ms. Gilmore." She turned to look at the homeroom teacher. "What happened?"
In the phone call, Ella Gilmore had only said that "something had happened," and that Larissa should "come over to the Academy quickly," but she did not say what happened exactly. Looking at Aster, Ella sighed softly. "Aster pushed Bethany, causing her to fall and spill hot water on herself. Her arm has been scalded. She has now been sent to the hospital."
Larissa frowned—Bethany Rogers again. It seemed that whenever that brat was involved, nothing good could ever come out of it.
