“Mommy taught us to be a good person. If Bad Daddy has changed, why don’t
we give him a chance to be a good person?”
“If we treat him well, he’ll treat us well. If we treat him badly, he’ll do the same to
us. Why don’t we be kinder to him and have one more person that treats us
well?”
Abby spoke her mind with reason.
She had always been Adie’s number-one fan and most loyal supporter.
Renee laughed and joked that Abby would always be undoubtedly supportive of
Adie. She did not expect them to quarrel over Stefan.
Enter title…
“Uh, hey… You two…”
Renee listened as the little ones quarreled. She turned to Adie and then to Abby,
feeling a little at a loss. It was the first time she had encountered such a scene.
“Abby, your thoughts are problematic. A bad guy will always be a bad guy. He’ll
never become a good person. We’ll hurt ourselves by being kind to the bad
guys!”
“That’s not true. People may make mistakes. If not, why would we need
teachers and police officers?”
It was Adie’s first time dealing with Abby’s stubbornness. He could only drag
Renee into the argument in desperation.
“Mommy, say something. What do you think? Do you support Abby or me? Or…
Do we have to forgive Bad Daddy?”
“About that…” Renee pinched her jaw and pondered the question. How could
she resolve the conflict and answer without hurting them?
“Well, I think it’s good to be strong. It’s right to be kind too. It’s important to find a
balance between the two. You shouldn’t give a chance to someone who’s
absolutely evil or hurt someone who’s kind and beat him to death, so…”
“So, it’s all about Bad Daddy’s sincerity, right?”
Adie instantly understood Renee’s answer. He behaved like an adult and said
with a serious nod, “Mommy’s right. We can’t just beat him to death. Why don’t
we call him out and take a stand!”
“I agree! Let’s ask Bad Daddy what he thinks… But what’s with him? It’s been
so long. Why isn’t he done?”
Renee listened to the two children and noticed that Stefan seemed to have
been in the bathroom for too long. Why was there no movement at all?!”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Renee turned towards the bathroom and pushed open the door to find Stefan
unconscious on the floor. Stefan had changed into his clothes and removed the
heavy makeup from his face. However, he was lying on the floor and shut his
eyes tightly!
“W-what’s going on?” Renee paled in confusion.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong, Mommy?”
The little ones heard Renee and hurriedly ran over. They were startled to see
such a situation too.
“He seems to have fainted…”
Renee went forward to nudge Stefan, only to find him unresponsive. Without a
second to waste, she called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital for
emergency treatment.
“You two stay home. Get some rest and listen to Margaret. No more playing
around. I’ll be back soon!”
Renee gave the two little ones a good lecture before leaving for the hospital with
the ambulance.
About an hour later, the doctor came out with the report.
