As the beauty leaned in, Grayson shouted, "Get lost!" The frightened beauty quickly backed away.
"You two continue drinking, I'm leaving!" "Hey, this was a celebration for you. Now that the main character is leaving, what's the point for us?" Sutu Chen's mind was filled with Lena, and without looking back, he walked away.
After Lena got home, she threw herself onto the bed. Luckily, it was the weekend, so she didn't have to work. The soreness all over her body didn't ease at all; instead, her heartache worsened.
Lena lay on the bed, the sunlight blurring her eyes, tears swirling in her eye sockets. She didn't know if it was because of the sunlight or because of seeing Grayson, but the defensive line she had built up in her heart for so long suddenly collapsed.
After lying on the bed for a while, she finally had some strength and got up to take a relaxing hot bath. Lena remembered what her best friend Alice often said: "Women must treat themselves well!" Life had to go on. Four years ago, when he abandoned her, our relationship already came to an end. Four years later, there shouldn't be any extravagance.
"Come on, Lena! My dearest, how are you? I hope you're well without me." The phone rang. "Hello, teacher, is it true that Helen caused trouble at school?" "Helen's mom, please come to school! Helen got into a fight with someone at school!"
After hanging up the phone, Lena didn't have time to feel miserable. She put on her clothes, tidied herself up, and drove her Audi to school.
She couldn't focus on driving the whole way, nearly getting into an accident halfway. She was afraid something might happen to Helen.
Lena felt guilty towards Helen because during her pregnancy, she couldn't provide adequate nutrition, resulting in Helen being smaller and weaker than children her age. After arriving at school, she saw Helen in the corner of the office, wiping her eyes.
Lena walked over, picked up Helen, and Helen lay on Lena's shoulder feeling wronged, while Lena gently patted her and comforted her.
"Helen, tell Mommy, what happened?" Lena asked softly.
Before Helen could answer, the parent of the child Helen fought with arrived. She was dressed in luxurious attire, heavily made up.
"Was it your child who hit my child?" "Look, your child bit my child; his arm is swollen!" "No, we need to go to the hospital to get his injuries checked. My child is precious."
The rich lady was relentless from the moment she entered, not giving anyone a chance to speak. Seeing the fierce auntie, Helen trembled in Lena's arms.
Helen was a sensitive child. Every time she saw Mommy quietly crying late at night, she knew Mommy missed Daddy. Despite her young age, she understood the scar in Mommy's heart and never mentioned Daddy in front of her. Mommy just told her that Daddy had gone far away, but he would come back when Helen grew up.
The teacher on the side also looked helpless at the wealthy lady. When the lady finished venting, Lena spoke up, "I'm sorry, no matter the reason, if Helen bit your child, I apologize first!" Lena's tone was sincere. She knew Helen wouldn't fight without reason, but at the moment, Helen did indeed injure the other child.
"Mommy, she called me a fatherless wild child first. Helen is not a wild child." Helen finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
Seeing her daughter cry so heartbreakingly, Lena felt despair, her whole body freezing.
Early the next morning, Lena hurriedly sent Helen to school and then drove to work, not even having time for breakfast. After parking her car in the basement, Lena felt dizzy as she was about to get out of the car. At that moment, Grayson's car happened to pass by and saw Lena fainting by the car.
"Gavin, stop the car!" his tone was anxious.
Grayson's driver, Gavin, immediately stopped the car.
Without thinking too much, Grayson directly carried Lena and took her to the elevator, telling his assistant, "Quickly, contact the private doctor to come to my office!"
