Crystal's POV:
Soon after my video chat with the Beta of my pack ended, I retired to our room to have dinner with Arron.
When I entered, he was in the middle of frantically ripping off the bandage from his head. With a frown, I walked over to him.
"Honey, didn't I say that you don't need to bandage when you are alone here?"
"Mommy, I'm just practicing how to bandage myself." A little embarrassed, Arron swiftly took off the bandage from his face.
I looked at him suspiciously, feeling somehow terrible about this. Arron stammered and seemed to be guilty of doing something bad.
I helped him put away the bandage. When I walked to the window, I found that there were small footprints on its frame.
Taking a glance at Arron, who had been avoiding eye contact with me, I asked, "Did you sneak out today?"
Arron kept silent for a while before lowering his head. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I went out for a while, but I didn't go too far," he apologized in a low voice.
All of a sudden, my heart softened. I wrapped my arms around him and immediately comforted, "Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you. I just think that you shouldn't climb the window next time you want to go out. It's dangerous. What if you fall?"
It was all my fault that I had been neglecting Arron these past few days. He had probably been very upset when I didn't let him go out of this room.
Thinking of this, I felt even guiltier. I caressed his head and said softly, "We can go home after a few more days."
Hearing my words, Arron smiled again and nodded obediently. "I know, Mommy. Don't worry. I will be a good boy and I won't climb the window again."
