Josh forgot about other things for a while. He went up to help Lilly distressedly and nervously checked her teeth.
"Open your mouth... Well, your teeth are still here!"
Lilly cried. "But my teeth hurt... It's hard to speak now..."
Josh was speechless. You're hard to speak because you're in pain.
Josh felt distressed and funny. He completely forgot about Veronica and his mother. He looked closer and found Lilly's tooth did break a little.
Josh quickly comforted, "It's okay. Just knocked off a little. It won't affect you."
Lilly cried. "Really? Will it affect me to eat?"
Josh's mouth twitched. "It won't affect..."
"Will it affect me to eat candies?"
"It won't."
Lilly thought for a while, then asked again, "Will it affect me to brag?"
"It doesn't matter. You can brag as much as you want."
Lilly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm relieved!"
Everyone around could not help but laugh. Lilly was so cute, and her focus was strange!
Ivan silently looked at the tearful Lilly. It seemed that she fell hard. Her eyes were reddish from crying. It must be painful.
He suddenly remembered something and took out two fruit candies in his pocket. The candies shone beautifully in the sun. One of the candies was yellow, which matched Lilly's coat, and the other was pink, which should be her favorite strawberry flavor.
He walked up and gave Lilly two candies. "Don't cry. I'll give you some candies."
Lilly was stunned. Hmm, who is he? He looks familiar. Is he the boy I carried back when I was camping? Oh, it's Ivan! He gave me sugar before!
Lilly remembered and said happily, "Thank you, Ivan!"
Ivan was happy. Lilly remembered his name, which meant she regarded him as a friend.
He had no friends, and Lilly was the first. Because of her, he and Drake were also friends. However, both he and Drake did not like to talk. When they went out together, they only stood together. Although they did not speak, they stood together wherever they went.
Ivan did not show his happiness. He only nodded lightly. "You're welcome."
Lilly took the candies and forgot about her pain. She said happily, "Josh, Drake, let's go home!"
Jack had finished talking with the teacher. After signing, he would lead Drake, Josh, and Lilly to leave.
Veronica changed her expression. None of them even looked at me! I don't want to be taken away by the police!
