You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 112

Mildred knitted her brows, even though in her heart she hoped that Shirley would find a good family, but she didn't like the way that Bryan was trying to get close to the kids.

"The two kids, I will pick them up..."

"They are at my company now."

Mildred knitted her brows even more, "Bryan, if Paisley finds out about this, she will be really angry, she doesn't want her kids to skip school and play outside, you are an adult, you should know what to do, and be a role model for them."

Bryan listened to Mildred patiently.

"The kids were mobbed at school, the school called me to go and solve it."

"What? They were mobbed!" Mildred asked nervously, "Who did that, are they okay, let two kids talk to me."

"The kids are fine, it depends on what adults tell them."

"What do you mean." Mildred wasn't stupid, she understood what Bryan meant on a deeper level.

But Bryan promised Jacob that he wouldn't tell them about what happened in the kindergarten, so he didn't dig deeper on this matter.

He gave the phone to Jacob.

Mildred heard the voice of the little boy on the other side of the line, "Mildred."

"Jacob, who mobbed you, I will come and pick you up to Mommy’s, okay?" If she didn't know about this matter, it would be fine, but now that she knew and she kept it from Shirley, she would definitely get angry.

"Can I stay with Daddy longer?" Jacob was almost begging her.

Mildred paused, she was not a kid anymore, but she could understand how a single parent child would crave for a family, the two kids needed adults with them, especially such a small child, who needed parental love more.

She looked at Kevin a little awkward, after keeping silent for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me to call your mother at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, tell her where you are now!"

"Okay, Mildred." Jacob yelled out in excitement, and then hung up the phone.

But Mildred felt a little heavy heart when she hung up, she could now feel what Shirley felt towards Bryan.

She must feel pressured like that, not being able to let go of herself, and feeling confused about her future.

After she hung up, Kevin asked, "The kids were mobbed at school?"

Mildred looked up and looked at him, then she nodded and said, "Right, but, they are okay now. I am leaving."

She turned around and opened the door to the study, she was about to leave when Kevin said in a cold voice, "Are they with Bryan now?"

Mildred paused, she turned around and looked at him, "At 3o'clock this afternoon, they will call Paisley, don't tell her yet."

"You are lying to her, you know that she doesn't feel well now." Kevin didn't agree with her and knitted his brows, "Tell me, where are the kids, I will get them."

Mildred frowned sadly, she turned around to face Kevin, "Kevin, why are you so weird today, you were never like this before, I know about Paisley better than you do, but we need to think about the kids too, they need a father, if you really want to treat her right, you should think about it. The kids are at the Moore Group now."

Kevin was speechless after what she said.

Mildred stared at him, "I am going to check on Paisley."

...

This time, Shirley slept till almost 5 in the afternoon, when she woke up, Mildred was sitting next to her.

"What!"

"Don't get angry, call first and ask." Mildred squeezed her hand, trying to press down her anxiety.

Shirley took a deep breath, then she dialed the number to the phone the kids carried.

She immediately heard Jacob's voice, "Mommy."

Shirley tried to hold the anger she felt in her chest, and asked, "Where are you and your sister?"

"Mommy, we are with Daddy, we are going to ZC restaurant for dinner, Mommy, let me ask Daddy to pick you up."

"Why did you skip school?" Shirley clenched her fists and bit her teeth then asked.

She couldn't accept that the kids skipped school, for her, this was a very bad habit.

Jacob was stuttering.

After a while, she heard Bryan's voice in the phone, "The two got beaten up, Emma's ponytail was pulled off, her toy broke, and Jacob received a few fists from someone."

This was news that Shirley was not prepared for, she was shocked.

"Where are you now, I am coming over." Shirley asked anxiously.

"We are going to ZC restaurant, they are fine, I already took care of it." Bryan calmed her down.

"Okay, let's meet at ZC restaurant." Shirley hung up the phone and turned to look at Mildred, "Let's go there, the kids will be there as well."
