Chapter 144

Ian hadn’t gone far; he was at a friend’s house nearby, having coffee.

Over the years, Tinley had been sick, and whenever something came up, Ian would handle the socializing for the family, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he had acquaintances all over Strate City.

This was one of those times.

He wasn’t feeling at ease about Yvonne, so after leaving the school, he thought he’d find something to do. While driving around aimlessly, he happened to run into a familiar face nearby.

The acquaintance invited him to have coffee at their house, and Ian figured he could have a cup, and after that, check on Yvonne’s situation at school, so he agreed.

As soon as the coffee was poured and only a few words were exchanged, Ian’s phone rang.

He excused himself and stepped outside.

When he saw the unfamiliar number on the caller ID, he couldn’t immediately recall who it was. He was distracted, but when the voice of a teacher came through the phone, he straightened up.

“Sir, something’s happened with Yvonne at school. I can’t explain it clearly over the phone, but please come to the school as soon as possible.”

The teacher spoke hurriedly, and lan was stunned. He glanced at the time on his phone and thought, It’s barely been ten minutes–how could Yvonne be in trouble already?

Without wasting another moment, he hung up, gave a quick explanation to his friend, grabbed his car keys, and left.

On the drive to the school, his thoughts were consumed with Yvonne.

By the time he arrived, Yvonne had already been taken to the teacher’s office. She was sitting in a chair, small and motionless, surrounded by many adults trying to speak with her.

But the little one didn’t say a word. Her head hung low, and she sat completely still.

Just seeing this scene made lan feel as if his mind was about to explode.

He squeezed past the teachers in his way and knelt down in front of Yvonne, his voice trembling with concern. “What happened, Yvonne? Who made you upset?”

Yvonne finally responded when she saw lan. Her eyes reddened, tears immediately welling up, and she collapsed into his arms, sobbing into his chest. “lan…”

At that moment, she seemed completely dependent on him.
