Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Just Like Serena Sterling
The little boy was still stubborn: "She’s not your biological mother, you can only call her aunt, and she’s dying soon."
"I call her mom! I don’t allow you to talk about my mom like that!" Seraphina cried, lunging forward and getting into a tussle with the little boy.
The children nearby were shouting all sorts of things, causing chaos.
Seraphina wasn’t as strong as the boy and was pinned underneath, but she still bit the boy fiercely, refusing to let go.
Tears continually streamed from her eyes.
Her mom won’t die; mom has always loved her, given her lots of forgiveness, never forced her, and has always treated her very well.
"Mom won’t leave you. You’re my daughter, and I will never abandon you, Seraphina. Mom will never leave you alone, don’t be afraid."
"Seraphina is not superfluous. Seraphina is the person mom loves the most. Don’t belittle yourself."
"Seraphina deserves the best in the world..."
Everything Serena said to her in the blaze was vividly remembered; mom was the best mom in the world, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to say otherwise!
Meanwhile.
In the hospital.
Inside Serena’s hospital room, various instruments once again began beeping urgently.
Sheila Jenkins immediately called for help, and when she turned around, she saw the tears streaming from the corners of Serena’s eyes.
"Serena, Serena, what’s wrong?" Sheila asked anxiously.
...
School.
The commotion from the children’s fight finally drew attention.
The little boy’s parents arrived first and separated the two.
A few other parents came along as well.
They were all holding their children, watching from the sidelines.
The little boy wailed, "Mom, she bit me, my hand hurts so much!"
The boy’s parent looked at the row of teeth marks on his hand and glared fiercely at Seraphina.
She scolded, "Whose daughter are you? How dare you bite my son!"
Tears were in Seraphina’s eyes; she was also hurt from the boy punching her, and her wounds weren’t fully healed, hurting again now, but she endured it.
She reached out to wipe her face, and said, "My mom is Serena Sterling."
"He talked bad about my mom first, that’s why I bit him!" Seraphina said.
"Wow!" The boy cried again, "I didn’t say anything bad, I just told the truth; her mom is dying! Everyone knows her mom is dying!"
"My mom isn’t!" Seraphina said, attempting to lunge again, "You can’t talk nonsense!"
A nearby parent directly pushed Seraphina to the ground.
"No manners!" The parent angrily scolded, "What does it matter if my son just said the truth? Your name is Seraphina, right? Do you really think just because Silas Hawthorne recognized you as his daughter, you’re great?"
"You’re not Serena’s biological daughter, once she dies, you and Silas Hawthorne will have nothing to do with each other, thrown back to the orphanage, and you dare to bite my son? Get lost!" The woman scolded.
"My dad isn’t like that, you’re not allowed to talk about my parents like that!" Seraphina puffed her cheeks.
Even though she hurt everywhere, she still stubbornly stood up, meeting the woman’s gaze defiantly as she held the boy.
The woman was very disdainful, reaching out to push the just-standing Seraphina down again.
Seraphina, being just a little girl, didn’t have much strength and was about to be pushed over again.
Just then, a hand steadied Seraphina’s arm, allowing her to stand firmly.
At this moment, the teacher who had heard the commotion also came running over.
Seeing this, they immediately exclaimed, "President Lawson?"
Everyone turned to look.
A few parents watching the commotion immediately greeted.
"Hello, President Lawson!"
"President Lawson, why are you here?"
"President Lawson, weren’t you still in the hospital? Why are you at the kindergarten?"
...
Julian Lawson had a furrowed brow, controlling his wheelchair, ignoring the others, and checked Seraphina’s injuries.
He looked toward the teacher, "First aid kit."
"Ah? Oh!" The teacher left immediately to get it.
Julian Lawson looked at Seraphina, who was still holding back tears, with puffed cheeks, and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
Seraphina didn’t speak, only shook her head.
"Such a temper..." Julian Lawson’s eyes held a bit of reminiscence, "It’s just like Serena’s."
Seraphina pouted but still didn’t say anything.
Julian Lawson kept Seraphina safe to the side, then looked at the mother and son pair over there.
Now, there was some apprehension in the woman’s eyes.
"Pres... President Lawson." The woman hesitated as she began speaking.
"Seraphina is not like you said." Julian Lawson spoke, "She may have been in the orphanage before, but whether it is I, Serena, or Silas Hawthorne, we all think she’s wonderful."
"Serena taught the child carefully, not like you said, without manners."
Julian Lawson said word by word, "Today, the two children fought because your child said things they shouldn’t have, and you, as an adult, not only failed to discern right from wrong but even attacked a child and laid hands on them."
"Apologize to Seraphina!" Julian Lawson sternly commanded.
The woman was still somewhat defiant.
"President Lawson, Serena is already married to someone else, and this little girl isn’t..."
"Apologize!" Julian Lawson’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "Don’t make me say it a third time!"
The woman was displeased but still bowed her head in humiliation.
"Seraphina, I’m sorry, it was wrong for me to speak that way today. I hope you can forgive me," the woman said, putting down the boy she had been holding.
The boy pouted but lowered his head after being glared at by his mother.
He said, "Seraphina, sorry."
Julian Lawson looked towards Seraphina at the side.
Seraphina came forward.
"It’s okay," she said, "As long as you don’t say bad things about my mom, we can still be friends."
Julian Lawson saw that the two had somewhat "made up."
He took Seraphina back over and addressed all the parents there, saying, "Regardless of how the Hawthorne Family and Sheridan Family view Seraphina, to me, Seraphina will always be the young one I protect, and she won’t be abandoned. I hope there won’t be similar incidents in the future!"
All the parents looked at one another with astonishment.
But they still nodded.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Julian Lawson brought Seraphina to a classroom nearby, and Jude Chaucer brought over the first aid kit.
Julian Lawson let Seraphina sit properly and applied the medicine to Seraphina.
He gently applied the medicine, even blowing on it.
Very careful.
Silas Hawthorne watched this scene from afar, hearing the teacher lower their head and apologize while explaining the previous events.
Silas Hawthorne’s brow furrowed tightly.
After the medicine was applied, Julian Lawson rolled Seraphina’s sleeve back down.
"In the future, you can call me Mr. Lawson," Julian Lawson told Seraphina.
Seraphina looked at Julian Lawson, still without speaking.
Julian Lawson didn’t force it either, reaching into his pocket to take out a box, unfolding it.
Inside was the piece of jewelry made from Tanzanite.
He had personally, slowly, crafted it by hand.
Right now, under the sunlight, each piece was shimmering with a glow.
