Chapter 12

Two days later, it was Monday.

It had been two days since she saw Liam. The thought that she would get to see her son again made Sylvia especially ecstatic. She took an early day off and left by noon.

She went to a nearby shopping mall where she bought large bags of ingredients, then she headed to the toy store to buy Liam and Isabel their favorite toys before making her way home.

Right after she entered the car and was just putting on her seat belt, the kindergarten teacher called her.

The teacher’s voice sounded anxious on the phone. “Miss Ross, your daughter got into a fight with someone at school. Please come as soon as you can.”

Sylvia’s expression shifted in an instant. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, she quickly revved the engine and zoomed off.

It took her less than ten minutes to reach the kindergarten.

She went to the teacher’s office, and as soon as she came in, she saw several children standing by the wall.

The one that immediately caught her attention was the girl whose hair was so messy that it could have been mistaken for a bird nest. The child still wore a disdainful, upset expression on her face. It was Isabel.

Next to her was Liam with what seemed like claw marks on his fair face.

Sylvia became upset and frowned. She approached the two.

She peered at them up and down to make sure they had not sustained any other injuries before she began to question, “What’s going on? Why did you two start a fight?”
