"Miss Eve, it's alright. Get up, okay?" Mrs. Ben persuaded Eve, her voice containing slight gentleness.
"Just promise me you aren't going to expel her," Eve insisted, her tone stubborn.
"Sure, I won't," Mrs. Ben quickly promised.
"Really?" Eve's eyes widened in surprise, and then her lips stretched into a grateful smile as she bowed quickly. "Thank you so much, Mrs. Ben. You have no idea how grateful I am."
"It's alright." Mrs. Ben patted her hand. "I will help you look after her properly from now on."
"Really?" Eve's hand flew to her mouth, looking enthusiastic as she embraced Mrs. Ben and pouted. "How can you be so good to us, Mrs. Ben? I'm really feeling so much indebted right now."
"It's alright. I'm just doing my part." Mrs. Ben patted her back before they parted.
"I still want to say thank you to you." Eve smiled and pulled Leila forward, pinching her wrist where no one could see, and she urged, "Leila, quickly thank Mrs. Ben."
