The boy with a cleft lip was the largest and strongest of the children, always flaunting his strength, bullying others around. Now that he faced a dominant figure, he immediately cowered, shrinking behind Amelia.
Regardless, he was still a child. Despite her distaste, Amelia wouldn't really hold it against him.
She quietly told him "Don't be afraid", then turned to the man approaching her, "You shouldn't speak such harsh words to him, it'll have a negative psychological impact."
Nowadays, many children from functional families require professional counseling because they obsess over trivial things, let alone these children with disabilities.
Unsatisfied, the man stared at her relentlessly, the veins in his eyes turning red, "And what about me?"
Amelia was confused, "What about you?"
"You disappeared without a word and hide here, that's put me under a lot of stress. Don't I deserve an explanation from you?"
