Michael put his other arm around Nicole, flung himself into her arms, and nodded.
"It hurts... It really hurts!"
Nicole touched his little face, genuinely heartbroken.
"It's okay. I'll take you back and fix it. It'll get well soon."
Michael nodded solemnly and sniffled. He obediently let the doctor put the plaster on it.
The teacher stood by the side and sighed in relief when everything was done.
"Ms. Stanton, it won’t be convenient for Lil Michael to g o to school in this condition. Why not let him rest at home for a while before coming back to school?"
Nicole had the same thoughts and touched his head." Okay."
The teacher smiled and was just about to say something when Lil Michael turned his head to look a t Nicole.
"Where's Daddy?"
"Your daddy went abroad for a meeting. He just left today and is still on the plane."
After she finished, she was afraid that he would think too much and hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to your daddy. He won't blame you. It's not that he doesn’t want to see you either. His phone is turned off, so we have no way to contact him."
Lil Michael pursed his lips. His expression was a little upset.
"I didn’t fall on my own. Someone pushed me from behind on purpose. Teacher, didn’t you all see it?"
With those words, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.
The doctor did not want to get involved in this matter and went to fetch the medicine after treating Michael.
Nicole's gaze was slightly cold as she looked at the teacher.
"Is that the case?”
The teacher's face was instantly a bit flustered and helpless.
"It's not like that. There'll inevitably be bumps and bruises when everyone is playing soccer. It’s normal t o fall on the field. I didn't really notice at that time whether it was intentional or not. As soon as I saw Michael fall, I immediately ran over and brought him t o the hospital..."
There did not seem to be any loopholes to what she said.
Even if the teacher stood there, she could not have been staring at one single person, so it could not be considered negligence.
