After pushing the two children back into the room, Wendy pulled Michael over to the couch and sat down before saying in a lowered voice, "What are you doing?"
Wendy continued to ask, "Is Mrs. Lucas in a bad state?" as she briefly disinfected Michael's hand.
Michael lowered his eyes, turned and rested his head on Wendy's shoulder.
The weight on her shoulder startled Wendy.
What in the world was going on here?
It made her panic inside. But Michael did not say anything, so Wendy could not ask further.
Reaching out and stroking Michael's head, Wendy just kept him company silently.
After a while, Michael said in a low voice, "My mom is having some kind of mental breakdown because when my dad went back this afternoon, she slashed my dad with a knife. I went to the hospital to check on my dad's condition, but when I got there, I found out that I was a joke."
When Michael said this, Wendy understood.
