It's wrong to pity when you are weak

When Noah heard this, all his anger dissipated, being replaced by fear. He could clearly see Max wasn't the same timid guy as he was before and won't endure their bullying anymore.

"I-I… under… stand." Noah struggled to speak.

"Good. Now keep quiet and don't make any noise. It'll just make everyone feel worse than they already are feeling." Max said, removing his hand from his neck.

Ha! Ha!

Noah gasped for air and then looked at everyone, hoping that they would scold Max or at least say something for treating him like this, but no one, including his mother and sister, said anything, causing his expression to turn dark. He gave Max a hateful glance and walked out of the room.

After he went out, Max glanced at Amelia and apologized. "I'm sorry for just now."

Although she didn't say anything, Noah was her son, after all, and she wouldn't feel good when someone hit him.

"It's alright. He shouldn't have burst out like too." Amelia sighed.
