Chapter 576
Hayes was thinking hard when he suddenly grabbed Teresa’s hand and headed for the door
Caught off guard, Teresa panicked and yelled, “Hayes, let go of me! I wasn’t done asking!! won’t go out! I won’t!”
Despite her efforts to break free, Teresa couldn’t match the strength of Hayes. All she could do was turn her head and shout at Manley, “Manley, you’re such a bad kid! Don’t you remember how my mom took care of you in the hospital?”
Manley’s voice rose to a hysterical pitch, “It was your mom who hit me first! She’s the one who let me down!”
Manley was so angry that his chubby body trembled uncontrollably, looking like he might break down at any second!
Soon enough, Hayes had dragged Teresa out of the room.
As the door slammed shut with a loud “bang,” Manley collapsed on the floor and burst into
tears
His tears mixed with snot, dribbling into his mouth, and he looked as pitiful as one could
From that day on, he would no longer be friends with Hayes and Teresa!
No matter what, he would never forgive them! Because “Aunt Marguerite” had said while hitting him that daddy only loved Teresa and Hayes, and he despised only him.
And Manley, unable to discern right from wrong, stubbornly believed it…
Meanwhile, in another room.
Hayes rushed Teresa into the children’s bedroom, eager to share what he had found out.
But when he opened his mouth, he found he couldn’t say a word.
Undeterred, Hayes frantically pulled out a writing pad and scribbled down a few lines, “Teresa, listen, Manley’s injuries are all on his body, but there’s not a mark on his head or face.
If he was really hit hard enough to hallucinate, there would be serious injuries on his head. Maybe he really had a nightmare, and he just doesn’t realize it!”
Teresa calmed down as she read Hayes’ shaky handwriting.
His analysis seemed to make sense.
But her face soon scrunched up again as she twiddled her fingers, looking at Hayes, “But
08.16
What about the bruises on his body? I think he did it to himself! I don’t care! I’m going to send the recording to mom right now!”
She reached for the children’s watch on Hayes wrist.
Haves thought quickly and hid his hand behind his back, blurting out, “Not to your mom, send it to my dad!
Teresa froze Why? Mom just said she wanted the recording sent to her!”
“It’s your dad and my mom who have the misunderstanding. Show it to my dad, let him Soure it out.. to protect your mom…”
Teresa scratched her head, mulling it over.
It did seem a bit better to send the recording to Dad rather than going straight to Mom.
Hayes’ dad was more formidable than her mom, and if he got involved, her mom wouldn’t be left to fend for herself!
Teresa mulled over Hayes’ words for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She belatedly cupped Hayes’ face, her voice soft with excitement, “Little Mute, did you notice? You spoke so smoothly just now, without any stutters!”
