Chapter 869
Caden's school was not located in Northfolk, and it took two hours for Molly to drive there!
It was already close to eleven when she arrived at the school.
Molly went inside. She saw Caden's teacher and worriedly asked, "Teacher, why would Caden drop out without any reason?"
The teacher told Molly what happened with Caden after meeting with her.
"Ms. May, calm down. Listen to me.
"Some time ago, Caden said that he was not feeling well, and he kept taking leave from school. Even though I thought that it would affect his studies, I approved his requests anyway, considering that his health was more important.
"But, whenever he got back to school after taking leaves, he would either sleep or be on his phone! I suspected that Caden might be addicted to video games or something, so I lectured him because I was worried that it might affect his studies. I would never expect him to say that he wants to drop out after that."
The teacher's tone became softer as she explained to Molly apologetically. "Ms. May, I didn't mean to scold Caden. I just wanted him to focus on his studies! After all, his grades have been excellent, and he would always be one of the top students in the entire grade. I was very worried after seeing the sudden change in him. That's why I criticized his actions. I didn't know he would do this at all! I.."
The teacher's voice choked as she said that.
She thought that Caden got mad and stopped going to school because she scolded him!
She felt very guilty as his teacher.
Molly felt very anxious too, after hearing what the teacher told her.
However, she knew that it had nothing to do with the teacher. Molly knew very well that Caden was not a sensitive person like that.
'Something bad must have happened!'
Molly thought of that, but she tried to make the teacher feel better anyway. "Teacher, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. I'm pretty sure that something else happened to Caden, and that's why he acted like that. Don't worry. I'll talk to him about it."
After that, Molly went away from the teacher and dialed Caden's number.
However, Molly heard a pre-recorded female's voice. "Sorry, the phone you have dialed is switched off." 'He switched off his phone?'
Molly could not help but feel nervous. She had been too busy recently.
Even though she could call Caden from time to time, it was not frequent.
Besides, she would only ask him about his studies and grades...
But, Caden would always give her the same response. He would tell Molly that everything was fine, and she would not have to worry about anything.
Molly knew that Caden was a sensible kid, so she was not very concerned about him.
Who knew... that this would happen?!
Molly called Caden a few times more after that.
But, none of the calls got through.
Molly had no other option. She turned around and apologized to the teacher, "I'm so sorry. I can't contact Caden either, but I'll be sure to take care of this!
"Caden is my brother, and I know his characteristics very well. He's not the kind of person who would skip school for no reason. I think he's probably facing some difficulties, so I hope the school can give me some time and not let him drop out."
