Chapter 98 You Are Lying
“Well, I’ll be taking them home now. Say bye to your teacher!”
Arissa smiled courteously at the teacher and reminded the five children.
The five little kids politely bid farewell to their teacher. “Bye-bye, teacher. See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
The teacher flashed a sweet smile while waving them goodbye. “Bye-bye!”
Arissa nodded respectfully at the teacher before taking the five children away.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?”
Gavin noticed that she did not look too good. “Are you okay?”
“Mommy, why were you panting just now?”
Zachary was also concerned.
Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse picked up on their mother’s strange behavior as well. They were all worried.
“Mommy, you don’t look okay!”
Arissa crouched down to embrace the five kids. She buried herself in their warmth.
She took in a big whiff of the milky scent on their bodies. It had a calming effect on her.
“I met a bad person in the car just now,” Arissa finally spoke up.
Having almost been kidnapped, she was frightened at the thought of it now.
Thankfully, she had a self-defense tool in her bag. It was also lucky that the person let his guard down, and that there was only him.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to escape so quickly.
“Mommy, what bad person?”
The little kids were worried sick. Their eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
“Mommy, are you hurt?” Gavin asked.
Arissa shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”
“Mommy, you’re lying. The side of your forehead is turning green.”
Jesse noticed the bruise on her forehead, and her eyes began to water.
“Mommy, you’re hurt!”
Arissa let go of them. She rubbed the spot on her head where she was hit.
It was still sore.
“I’m fine. It’s just a small bruise which a little ointment can fix!”
Seeing this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Gavin’s eyes.
“Mommy, did you see who the bad person was?”
Arissa was moved by his concern for her. She caressed his little head.
“I’ve reported it to the police. They’ve already caught him.”
Zachary was furious. “Mommy, do you know who he is?”
Oliver said through gritted teeth, “If I see him, I will beat him up!”
“Mommy, how many people were there?”
Jasper was enraged as well. He wanted to tear the scoundrel into pieces.
How dare he hurt Mommy!
“Mommy, let me blow on it!”
Jesse stood on her tippy toes, frantically huffing and puffing on Arissa’s bruised forehead.
Arissa was touched by her children’s love and care. She gave them a big hug once more.
“I saw it clearly. It was one person. He is now at the police station, and the police will interrogate him. Let’s go home!” Arissa blurted out.
Then, she got up and walked with them.
“Mommy, why did that bad guy attack you?”
Zachary had not stopped frowning since he heard the news.
“I got in his car. I got distracted by some desserts I saw on the roadside. I wanted to buy some for all of you, but he wouldn’t stop the car. That was when I felt that something was wrong. I quickly tried to get off the car, and I hit him!” She told the five children.
“Mommy, did he hit your head?”
Gavin asked with a dark expression. He looked just like his father at that moment.
Arissa rubbed the child’s head and explained, “No. I accidentally hit my head in the car.”
Jasper exclaimed, “Mommy, you should go to the hospital!”
“There’s no need for that. I’m not hurt anywhere else. You don’t have to worry. I just need to buy some ointment for it.”
“Mommy, there’s a pharmacy there. Let’s go buy the ointment!”
Oliver hurriedly pulled her forward.
Arissa had no choice but to follow the little munchkin into the pharmacy.
It was an unusual sight in the pharmacy when the five adorable little kids suddenly appeared.
Gavin rushed to the pharmacist with a distressed look on his face. “Miss, please give me the best ointment for bruises!”
“How adorable!”
The pharmacist was struck by the child’s cherubic appearance. However, when she caught sight of the five children glaring at her impatiently, she quickly went to grab the medicine.
“Thank you!”
After paying for the ointment, Arissa and her five children left the shop.
