After school, Milo's parents also stayed behind to thank Ruby for her help.
Ben had completely forgotten that today was Friday and school ended an hour earlier. He only recalled when Lauren requested Carina to call Ben.
So Lauren had to wait in the classroom for a while.
Lauren was not the only one left in the classroom.
Milo's mother was repeatedly thanking Ruby's mother, Susan, while holding on to her hand.
"Thank you so much for your daughter's help. If it weren't for her, I don't know what would have happened to this brat of mine."
Susan said, "It's nothing. As long as the child is fine, it's alright."
However, Lauren felt that Susan's expression was a little unnatural.
Milo and his mother had already left. The form teacher, Miss Carina Bailey, was still talking to Susan in the classroom.
"You really taught your child well. She's good at math and she even knows the Heimlich maneuver. She saved Milo's life today."
