One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 92 B*stards

Courtney immediately drove to the kindergarten. As it was almost time to return home, many fancy cars stopped at the gate with a group of butlers and maids flocking at the front door. She finally managed to squeeze through them until she arrived at the door where the person in charge of Sapphire Kindergarten, Nora, had been waiting for her. As soon as she saw Courtney, she immediately escorted her into the kindergarten.

“How’s Tina?”

“It’s not a huge issue. Dr. Ishiguro has already attended to her. Luckily we discovered it early, so there are no signs of cardiogenic shock. However, she wasn’t doing too well before, which was why I called you earlier. We thought you might be worried about her.”

They immediately rushed to the medicine bay. As soon as Courtney saw Tina, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She stood by the bed, unsure of what she could do. “Tina, Mommy’s here.”

Tina lay on the bed with a haggard look on her face. Her usual joyful and playful demeanour was gone and it was replaced by bruises on her forehead. However, she still forced a smile. “Mommy, I’m fine now!”

Courtney tentatively grabbed Tina’s hand. She did not want to be too harsh on her daughter, yet she could not help herself from gently chastising her. “What did you promise me before we started school? You said you won’t get into trouble and you will behave yourself. Did you forget about those? I’m getting angry now.”

Tina looked reproachful. “But, Mommy, they bullied me!”

While they were chatting, Dr. Ishiguro, who had been taking care of Tina, entered the room. “Are you Tina’s mom?”

“Yes, I am.” Courtney quickly turned.

Dr. Ishigura was an older lady whose hair had turned gray. Wearing a white robe and a pair of gold-rim round glasses, she looked kind. After gesturing to Courtney with her eyes, the former quickly walked out of the room with her.

“Doctor, are there any problems with Tina’s condition?”

“I saw her previous medical history. This child has congenital asthma. Usually, we would use medicine to control it. However, she would develop dependency on the medicine after using it for a long time and it’s not good for her as well. I would like to suggest acupuncture treatment. Would you consider it?”
