Chapter 13 Are You Siblings

No words could describe the pain on Estella’s hand and the grievance surging from within her after the fall. She massaged her little hand instinctively, almost breaking into tears.

After a while, she sniffled and got up to her feet. Then, she took out a notebook from the desk and started writing something in it.

All the other kids were not surprised by that. Since Estella was mute, she usually communicated with them by writing in her notebook. However, it seldom appeared as there was scarcely anyone to play with her.

A while later, she flipped her notebook toward Tammy after she finished writing.

Placing her hands on her hips, the latter snorted at the word “apologize” in it and questioned sardonically, “How could you have the cheek to request me to apologize to you? Estella, you’re asking for it!”

With that, she advanced toward Estella with her nose in the air and stretched out her hand, thinking of giving the poor girl another shove.

It never occurred to Estella that Tammy would strike at her again. Standing rooted on the spot, she was unable to react.

In the meantime, Archie and Benny had been keeping their eyes on them.

Nobody was aware when Tammy suddenly gave Estella a hefty shove a while ago. The realization only dawned on Archie and Benny when Estella fell to the floor.

Now that Tammy was going to shove Estella again, they could not hold back any longer.

“Enough of that! How could you bully her!” Archie stood in her way swiftly, glowering at her with a look of sheer grimness.

Tammy was stunned at his sudden emergence in front of Estella.

Archie stated sternly, “Didn’t your mother teach you to apologize after making a mistake? Since you’d shoved her just now, you must apologize to her!”
