As for Emma Smith, she was even more stubborn, refusing to change her ways unless she hit rock bottom. This time, she had irked herself by having an illegitimate child of unknown paternity.
It was because she knew her mother's bitter heart within her stubbornness that no matter how her mother cursed, Emma would not argue with her.
However, after slapping Tommy, she was still shaking with anger: "Apologize! Apologize to Grandma!"
Thomas Smith covered his face in shock. There was no feeling when the slap landed. Yet, as he reacted, his face slowly swelled! The burning pain seeped from the skin into his heart!
He couldn't understand why his mom would hit him when he was only speaking on her behalf.
As he covered his face, the pain on his face tugged at his little heart. It felt as if something inside was slowly breaking. His big eyes suddenly filled with mist, and he dashed down the stairs: "Mom is a bad person! Tommy won't talk to her anymore!"
