Chapter 667
Seeing that it was getting late, Sean sent Molly home.
As soon as they entered the house, Grandpa Dave, Brycen, and others noticed the gauze on Molly's wrist.
"Molly, what happened to your hand?" Brycen was the first to speak in surprise.
Grandpa Dave looked at Molly's gauze and frowned in distress. He asked, "Molly, what happened to you?"
"Molly, you're hurt! Did you fight with someone? Did someone bully you?"
"Uncle Sean, why didn't you protect Mommy?"
The three little ones all looked worried, and their baby faces were red with anger.
'I thought Uncle Sean would protect Mommy. But, mommy still got hurt!' the triplets thought.
Molly suddenly laughed, she did not expect to get so much attention when it was only a minor injury, she felt warm in her heart.
Molly hurriedly comforted them, "It's just a little burn. It doesn't hurt that much."
"Really? But, I saw Sean's expression, and it wasn't as simple as that," said Grandpa Dave.
Grandpa Dave observed Sean's expression and felt that this was something much more serious.
Molly also looked at Sean. She could only see that his face was cold and serious, and the surrounding atmosphere had died down.
'Is this really necessary? It's just a minor injury,' Molly thought.
However, when facing the inquiring eyes of her family, Molly could not hide the truth. So, she pursed her lips and explained honestly.
"When I got off work today, I met a former colleague, she quarreled with me and accidentally splashed hot soup on my hand."
"Accidentally? I think it's more like intentionally, right?" Brycen raised his tone and asked.
'Who would dare to start a fight with my sister and intentionally hurt her? This is too much!' Brycen thought.
"That's right. The hot soup should be in an insulated bottle. How could it be accidentally spilled? It must be intentional!" said the triplets.
The triplets also angrily insisted that Molly must have been bullied, and they looked at Sean.
The three smart little faces showed dissatisfaction in unison. It was as if they were blaming Sean.
Sean felt a little guilty when the triplets stared at him like that.
Sean hurriedly lowered his voice and said apologetically, "I wasn't there at the time, and I couldn't protect your Mommy. It's my fault. But, I won't let her get away with this."
Brycen was initially dissatisfied with Sean and thought, 'what kind of a boyfriend is he? He can't even protect his own girlfriend!'
But, when Brycen heard the second half of Sean's sentence, Brycen's heart suddenly felt at ease. He raised his voice and said, " That's right. Who dares to bully my sister? I would like to see who dares to try that. Tell me who it is, and I will find her!"
Grandpa Dave nodded calmly. "This can't be overlooked. That person would throw hot soup at Molly today, so who knows what that crazy person would do in the future, she must be stopped."
