When it came to taking care of children, John Quinn had no natural talent, which made the task a challenge.
Listeniing to Olivia Taylor's criticism, he couldn't even come up with half a word in his defense.
Olivia felt a chill when recalling a sentence Renard Quinn had said earlier.
If Kyle Quinn had run into the forest grove outside by himself, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
As John had said, the forest grove was rarely subject to human interference in order to maintain ecological balance.
If that was the case, the creatures living in the forest weren't used to human intrusion. They might act defensively when faced with the powerless child, Kyle.
"No matter what, you were entrusted with this responsibility, so you have to bear it," Olivia said, trying to save face for him, but John's face was still flushed with embarrassment.
John felt guilty and blamed himself, but he didn't dare to speak.
With Renard still present, he became even more timid.
