Nancy looked at Bobby and said, "Whatever it is Bobby, you apologize first!"

"Alright mommy! I will do as you say!" Though Bobby was not explicitly willing to make the move he decided to listen to Nancy and do as she asked.

"I am very sorry..." "Bobby you don't need to apologize for anything!" A booming voice came from behind just as the little boy uttered those words. Everyone turned to replace that Charles was standing there.

"No Charles, don't stop Bobby, let him apologize first and then we can do all the talking!" Nancy sternly looked at Charles.

"Oh, so this woman is yours then? You do look like a gentleman by appearance. Then how come this boy of yours is such a bully?" The man had no idea that he was speaking to Charles and not just anyone else. So he simply did not care to tone down his arrogance.

But astonishingly Charles stood there without reacting to this extremely insolent man and his words. Rather he took a step backwards and said, "Bobby, alright, do apologize first!" "But...but...I never raised a hand at Gary. I simply pushed him and he started crying out loudly." Bobby tried to tell his side of the story with understandable annoyance in his voice. "Listen you little prick, I really don't care if you hit my son or not. The fact is that he cried out and you must pay for that. So apologize, now!" The man literally commanded little Bobby! "Bobby listen even if you pushed the kid yesterday, it was your fault. No matter what, it hurt him. So please apologize," Charles explained softly.

Bobby frowned and said, "Uncle I am really very sorry to have pushed Gary yesterday. It indeed was my fault to behave that way. We are good friends no matter what. I promise we will get along with each other from now on. " Bobby sounded genuine in his apology.

"Now that your son has admitted to making the mistake of hurting my son, I assume you won't have anything to say if I give him a smack?" The man sounded unreasonably conceited.

"Really? But I am sorry to inform you that is not happening! Being an adult how could you think it was appropriate of you to come all the way to kindergarten just to hit a child? You think this is right?" Charles asked with disgust.

"Absolutely. I don't think I made a mistake in anyway." Though the man replied instantly he sounded a little softer. Probably Charles's demeanor frightened him a little bit.

"As my son has already apologized, it is your turn to apologize to him," Charles ordered the man calmly.

"What should I apologize for? I did not do anything wrong!"

Charles kicked hard on the man's leg without uttering a single word of explanation. The man instantly knelt down in pain.

"Let me inform you, you are very wrong!"

"Why the hell did you hit me?" The man screamed out in pain as he tried to stand up. But he was hurt so badly that he could not even move even a muscle.

"Will you apologize or not?" Charles asked calmly.

He lifted his foot his again.

Seeing that the man shuddered with fear.

"Sorry, sorry! It was my fault! I made a mistake! Please do not hit me again!" The man got an idea that Charles was powerful. So he decided to tone down his insolent behavior.

"Don't worry, uncle. Garry and I still are good friends." Bobby tried to ease the tension by cutting in.

Charles looked at Bobby and his swollen face. It pained him.

"Teacher, I think it is best that I take Bobby and Nadia back. He..." Charles stared down at the man on the ground squirming in pain and said, "If he doesn't want to die, he needs to go to the hospital right away!"

"Alright. We will do the needful." The teacher did not ask a second question and just agreed with a smile.

"He is such a barbaric man!" the man complained in agony.

"Do you have any idea who he is? He is the Charles Fu. Now do you understand whom you were challenging?" the teacher quickly said.

"What? Who? Charles? Why didn't you tell that to me before?" the man censured the teacher.

"Dear sir, you never asked anything or let me speak since you arrived. I did not get the chance to intervene!" The teacher tried to explain helplessly.

In reality the teacher was also extremely irritated by the haughtiness of the man. He had the audacity to walk into the classroom and take Bobby outside without giving a valid reason for his actions. It would not be so bad if he learnt a lesson the hard way!

In the hospital Charles made an appointment with the best pediatrician and had him check Bobby thoroughly.

Several examinations were conducted to see if Bobby sustained any severe injury.

"We see as of now that he has a slight wound on his forehead. Don't worry it is not bad!"1 the doctor who examined Bobby informed.

"The left ear is bleeding but it too does not seem serious!

The worst is the damaged muscle in his arm.

Everything else seems absolutely okay to me."

After hearing the diagnosis Charles immediately became serious and his face turned dark. His thin lips compressed into a line, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Nancy too felt a sharp pain shoot through her body after hearing everything.

"Treat my son immediately. I am not going to sit here and watch my baby suffer from any problems in the future because of these minor wounds today," Charles demanded without listening to anything. Hearing this the doctors became extremely nervous. They were all sweating profusely out of tension. They began murmuring among themselves and after a while of contemplating an elderly doctor stood out and said, "Mr. Fu Bobby is still too young to receive any major treatment with these injuries. It is best that we stick to hot compress even though the recovery will be slow."

"Are you telling me that there is no other treatment?" It was clear that Charles was losing his patience. He finally jeered at the doctor and said, "Then what is your utility anyway?" The doctors could barely contain their fear as they heard Charles.

They all turned towards Nancy to seek some kind of assistance. As she was also a doctor she would better understand the situation and would probably be able to say something in their defense.

"See the good thing is that Bobby's arm has not been torn apart. So naturally he cannot be operated. Also there are no suitable medicines to treat those bruises. They will have to heal organically. I absolutely understand that you are worried sick for him. You want him to get better as fast as possible. But doctors being human being are not omnipotent. Not all diseases have cures..'

"What?" Charles snapped back.

He looked at Nancy with enraged eyes.

It was as if he scorned at Nancy for not taking his side.

Nancy looked at him with kind eyes which explained that she was indeed telling the truth.

"Daddy I feel much better now. You must listen to mommy!" Even though Bobby was hurting a lot he did not want his parents to fight with each other again. Recently his parents were staying separately and this made both the kids very anxious.

"Okay," Charles said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

The doctors looked at Nancy with gratitude and quietly walked away.

"So what should we do now, Nancy?" Charles carefully picked Bobby up from the bed.

His sounded as though he was taunting Nancy.

"Come, Bobby let me apply some ointment on those bruises." Nancy carefully applied the medicine.

She was happy that Bobby did not sustain any life threatening injury. She was sure that her son would completely recover.

"You look very relaxed Nancy. Maybe that is because Bobby is not you biological son. Is that why you are so nonchalant about his well-being?" Charles almost accused Nancy.

He purposely did it to provoke her.

Nancy knew the truth, but she still didn't tell him.

How long would he have to wait? He really had no patience!

"Charles, you have crossed the line this time really!" How could Nancy not feel sorry or worried for Bobby?

Bobby was in fact her biological son. Nobody was hurt more than Nancy when Bobby got injured. Nobody could understand her pain.

"Is it? Have I gone too far? No. I think it is you who has crossed every boundary. Would you not cry had this been Nadia in place of Bobby? Bobby is badly hurt. But I don't see a single tear escape your eyes!" Charles felt frustrated, not only because Bobby was injured, but also because Nancy tore the painting up.

They had decided to pick up the children together but Nancy broke the pact yet again.

He could not tolerate all this anymore.

"Boring!" Nancy got up and walked out of the room instantly.

Nadia and Bobby looked at Charles with their reprimanding eyes.

"Daddy, you did wrong by her. Mommy loves me very much!" Bobby fumed.
