Chapter 121: Let’s Give It A Try
Luckily, everything got sorted out. If it hadn’t, Ashley holding onto the fact that Elaine bit her would’ve been a big problem.
“Elaine, it’s okay.” Bianca knelt in front of Elaine, gently tapping her nose. “But remember, you can’t bite people. That’s not how we solve problems.”
Elaine sniffled, clearly upset. “She said I’m rude. I won’t let anyone say that especially if it reflects how Mommy raised me!”
Bianca understood. “Elaine, did you think she was being mean to your mommy?”
Elaine nodded firmly. “Yes, my mommy’s been through a lot. I won’t let anyone be mean to her. I have to protect her!”
It turned out Elaine wasn’t biting out of fear or defiance but to protect her mother in her own way.
Bianca felt a pang of sadness. Elaine had shown more strength than expected, yet she deserved care and protection at such a young age.
