All the kids became teary-eyed when they saw him leaving.
Roxanne also tilted her head down to hide her pain away.
Jack's voice came to her ears at that moment. “There are many similar cases, and all we can do is help them as much as possible. It is okay to be sad, but don't let it overwhelm you.”
Roxanne understood the logic behind it, but actually dealing with it was still a little challenging.
The kid earlier was extremely polite and kind, so it was even more difficult to accept his unfortunate fate.
Jack didn't say much else. He left her with a simple sentence. “There are other kids waiting for you.”
After saying that, he returned to his seat.
Roxanne took a deep breath and shifted her gaze down to look at the kids standing next to her.
Every single one of them was looking upward and staring at her with their big, round eyes. They were all on the verge of crying, and within those eyes was the most basic fear of all—the fear of death. They were worried about the boy who left and also scared that they’d meet the same fate.
Seeing how terrified they were forced Roxanne to suppress her sorrow.
Crouching down to look into the kids' eyes, she comforted them softly, “Don't worry, kids. We're here to protect you, so everyone will grow up safe and healthy. Your friend will be back soon as well.”
After that, she turned around quickly. She couldn't bear to keep looking into their eyes, so she fumbled a little when she stood back up. Still, she pretended to be calm as she patted the bed and asked, “Okay, who's
next?”
Quite a bit of time passed before a kid fearfully climbed onto the bed.
Roxanne glanced at him. Her heart was heavy when she treated him.
