Chapter 9: Chapter 9: I won't allow others to talk about you like that
Morgan Clarke hung his head lower as Cindy Clarke asked, "Did you get hurt from fighting with someone?"
Before Morgan could answer, Cindy lifted his T-shirt to look.
Thin clothing in summer made it easier to get hurt. You'll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•
As she lifted the T-shirt, Cindy saw bruises and scratches on Morgan's body, where two spots of skin were torn.
Even unscratched areas had a tinge of red, almost breaking the skin.
Cindy trembled with anger and said, "Let's go to the hospital first!"
At this point, Morgan's injury was a priority. Children's bones are soft and susceptible to internal injuries.
Their skin is also delicate, and scratches could lead to infections.
Cindy locked her electric bicycle by the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and carried Morgan into the car.
"Didn't you tell me because you didn't want me to worry?" In the car, Cindy held Morgan and asked.
Morgan pursed his lips, and Cindy did not press him.
After a while, Morgan softly said, "It was Arthur Woods from the Moon Class next door. He said I was a wild... wild-born child because I don't have a father, and that you're promiscuous. That's why you had me at such a young age."
"He can say anything about me, but he shouldn't say that about you! I won't let anyone talk about you like that!" Morgan said indignantly.
Cindy fell silent.
She never felt ashamed of raising Morgan on her own at a young age.
That's why she didn't avoid the topic of being a single mother when attending nursery activities, picking up her child, or meeting teachers, parents, and children at the nursery.
Everyone knew that she had a 4-year-old son at 24.
It was easy to calculate when she became pregnant.
She didn't find it disgraceful, but she never expected others to have such dirty thoughts.
Didn't children just repeat what adults said?
"Has anyone else ever said something like that to you?" Cindy asked.
Morgan shook his head, "No, only Arthur Woods. In the nursery, everyone likes me. I am the popularity king."
