A Lesson In Discipline
He brought Jhonny to the mess hall and found Sarah waiting for them there.
Before Henry could say anything, Sarah stepped in front of him.
"You don't need to do this. He's just stressed, and it came out wrong," she defended the boy.
Henry looked at her with a stern gaze.
"I'm not doing this for you, Sarah. I'm doing this because he needs to learn to respect authority, whomever that may be. He didn't just disrespect you with that comment. He disrespected me. That cannot fly. He has to learn."
Sarah could see Henry wasn't about to flinch on his point, so she stepped aside, mouthing the words sorry to Jhonny as he walked next to her.
The kid stopped, turning to her.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Levington. I didn't mean what I was saying. It was very rude of me, and I hope we can remain on good terms," Jhonny apologized, his eyes hung low.
Sarah grabbed him by the shoulders, smiling at him.
