The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 512

Chapter 512 A Marriage That Must End
The newly appointed principal received the news and rushed over promptly.
Seeing that the situation had temporarily stabilized, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, his face pale, as he approached.
“I am deeply sorry, sir. We never expected such an incident to occur. It’s a failing on the school’s part for not ensuring your safety adequately. Please rest assured that the school will take full responsibility for this matter. We will cover all your medical expenses as well,” he apologized earnestly, taking full accountability instead of shifting blame.
The parents saw his attitude and refrained from making a scene.
“We don’t need you to cover the medical expenses. Money is not the issue here. Safety is the top priority for events like this. They must be thoroughly checked beforehand. Today, it was me who got hurt. Thankfully, Mrs. Beauvort was here. But if something were to happen to a child in the future during such activities, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
The new principal nodded repeatedly, offering an apologetic smile, “Yes, you’re right,”
Everyone knew that the previous principal had organized this activity.
Since that person had been dismissed, it wasn’t feasible to pursue the matter further.
However, other parents remained somewhat shaken and voiced their concerns.
“The school could engage in other forms of community service instead of coming to places like this, right?”
“Exactly, there are plenty of ways to expose children to different experiences without the need for higher-risk activities.”
“Perhaps something like visiting an orphanage and spreading warmth among the children, that would be just as great…”
The principal humbly accepted their suggestions, “I will consider your suggestions. Thank you all for your understanding and support!”

Half an hour later, the ambulance finally arrived to transport the injured man.
After such an unexpected event, everyone’s mood to continue had been dampened, so they simply dispersed on the spot.
Neera and her companions quickly tidied up and embarked on their journey back.
As they left, the triplets leaned against the car window, reluctant to part.
“Mummy, when you have time, can we come back to see the little trees together?”
Neera smiled, “Sure, we’ll come next time.”
When they returned home, it was already noon.
Upon entering the living room, Neera spotted Adriana coming downstairs from the upper floor, which surprised
her.

“Aunt Adriana, you’re back? Are you here to stay?”
Adriana met her surprised gaze with a wry smile.
“No, I just came to get a couple of clothes. I have plans tonight.”
Neera’s anticipation deflated as she simply responded with an “Oh” and didn’t ask further.
Adriana, on the other hand, seemed perplexed, “Why did you all come back so early? Wasn’t the event supposed to end in the afternoon?”
“There was a little accident…” Neera summarized.
Adriana listened, her brows furrowing, evidently concerned, “Who would have thought that planting a tree could lead to something like this? I don’t think we should promote such activities in the future. Who knows if something unexpected might happen again? If our precious ones get hurt next time, the consequences could be dire!”
Neera shared the same sentiment.
“Yeah, the parents already made suggestions, and the principal promised to consider them. Aunt Adriana, you can rest assured.”
During lunch, Adriana stayed behind and ate with them before leaving.
For some reason, Neera felt that today’s Adriana was a bit different, radiating an air of happiness.
Could it be that she was going on a date?
But that seemed unlikely.
After all, Aunt Adriana didn’t seem to have anyone to date…
