"Dad, I'm wrong. I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"
Kevin Clark's breathless shouts came from the study room.
Daisy clenched her fingers and went upstairs anyway.
"Olivia, please persuade Arthur. He's still young..." Natalie Wayne hadn't finished speaking when the door of the study room was opened from inside.
Ethan Clark ran out on his own.
He cried fiercely, holding up his two filthy little hands swollen badly. The red, swollen marks on them were obviously caused by the ruler.
"Mom."
Seeing Daisy, Ethan's crying became even fiercer.
He cried at the top of his throat.
Showing her his two hands as if telling on someone.
Tom Wayne and Calvin Stewart shed tears out of heartache, but neither of them moved.
Daisy hesitated for a moment and then picked him up.
Ethan leaned against her shoulder, crying so hard he could barely catch his breath. Daisy gently patted his back.
While he was crying upstairs, Noah Clark cried downstairs.
