If it was up to Edith's old temperament, Miss Hailee would be sitting in the corner of the bathroom with her tears streaming down her face. Fortunately for her, Edith was not so hot-tempered these days.
Moreover, with Hazel by her side, Edith did not want to scare the little girl with her violent side.
Hailee's words had not hurt Edith.
What Edith was worried about was that Hazel was going to doubt her love towards her. Edith might Hazel's kindergarten teacher and her uncle's girlfriend, but her love for Hazel was not less than a love of a mother to her child.
The two of them had spent a lot of time together. They live in the same house, eat at the same table and sometimes, slept on the same bed. Gradually, their feelings towards each other deepened and Edith would not let anyone bully Hazel.
