Marcel dropped Liam off at school the next morning. He was feeling very reluctant to part with him, to the point where his road manager went to drop off Liam's things at the orphanage while Marcel was wasting time saying goodbye to Liam as if it would be the last time the two would ever see each other.
"Big brother, you should go now," Liam said as he too got tired. Marcel was just thinking of how George is going to bully the boy and just that thought made it difficult for him to let him go in peace.
"If anything happens, you have to call me right away, if you can't reach me-"
"I'll call uncle Damien, now go, I will be late for class," Liam complained. When he finally had the chance of moving away from Marcel, he did not make the mistake of lingering around and instead left immediately. He waved back at Marcel as he ran to class.
