Chapter 13 By the time Odell came to his senses, Sylvia was miles away and her silhouette was the size of an ant.

Odell’s expression turned as black as tar, and an intimidating roar sounded through the cracks of his clenched teeth, “Sylvia!” Tara was frightened by his terrifying expression, and it took a while before she dared to approach him.

She hugged his arm and tried to comfort him, “Odell, forget it. She has always been like this and there’s nothing we can do about her. Let’s not get caught up with her antics.” This only seemed to make things worse. What Tara said reminded him of the previous infuriating encounter with Sylvia.

As if letting her threaten him with a razor blade to his neck was not bad enough, he had already let her escape from his very palms so many times! Just as he was about to erupt with anger, Tara quickly reminded him, “Odell, let’s go in and see Liam.” This seemed to do the trick of calming him, and his expression changed swiftly. He would deal with the present situation first. Then, he would have all the time in the world to send someone after Sylvia and take care of her.

He composed himself and stepped towards the kindergarten entrance.

Tara glanced in the direction Sylvia fled toward and grinned wickedly. She quickly trailed after Odell.

When they arrived, the children were on their lunch break. The headmaster and the headteacher attended to them and relayed the events from the very start to them.

At the end of the story, the headteacher stated, “Master Odell, the other children’s parents are already here. The parents of the aggressors have personally apologized to Isabel’s mother and have received forgiveness. Similarly, Isabel and Liam have also forgiven them, and that was how everything was wrapped up.” The headmaster echoed, “Master Odell, we deeply apologize for what happened. We vow that something like this will never happen again.” With that, both of them looked at Odell with an anxious glance.

Although they were one of the more reputable kindergartens in Westchester City, it would be devastating to get on Odell’s bad side as it could lead to them closing down.

Odell fell silent for a moment. “Bring me to Liam.” The headmaster responded dutifully, “Alright, Master Odell. This way, please.”

In the sleeping area for the children, by the time Odell arrived, all of the children were sleeping soundly in their respective beds, except for Liam, whose bed was crammed with two tiny figures.

Liam, who had always disliked direct physical contact with others, not only allowed Isabel to squeeze into his bed but even tolerated her resting her leg directly on top of him.
