You're The Best Medicine For Me

Mildred knitted her brows, even though in her heart she hoped that Shirley would find a good family, but she didn't like the way that Bryan was trying to get close to the kids.

"The two kids, I will pick them up..."

"They are at my company now."

Mildred knitted her brows even more, "Bryan, if Paisley finds out about this, she will be really angry, she doesn't want her kids to skip school and play outside, you are an adult, you should know what to do, and be a role model for them."

Bryan listened to Mildred patiently.

"The kids were mobbed at school, the school called me to go and solve it."

"What? They were mobbed!" Mildred asked nervously, "Who did that, are they okay, let two kids talk to me."

"The kids are fine, it depends on what adults tell them."

"What do you mean." Mildred wasn't stupid, she understood what Bryan meant on a deeper level.

But Bryan promised Jacob that he wouldn't tell them about what happened in the kindergarten, so he didn't dig deeper on this matter.

He gave the phone to Jacob.

Mildred heard the voice of the little boy on the other side of the line, "Mildred."

"Jacob, who mobbed you, I will come and pick you up to Mommy's, okay?" If she didn't know about this matter, it would be fine, but now that she knew and she kept it from Shirley, she would definitely get angry.

"Can I stay with Daddy longer?" Jacob was almost begging her.

Mildred paused, she was not a kid anymore, but she could understand how a single parent child would crave for a family, the two kids needed adults with them, especially such a small child, who needed parental love more.

She looked at Kevin a little awkward, after keeping silent for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me to call your mother at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, tell her where you are now!" "Okay, Mildred." Jacob yelled out in excitement, and then hung up the phone.

But Mildred felt a little heavy heart when she hung up, she could now feel what Shirley felt towards Bryan.

She must feel pressured like that, not being able to let go of herself, and feeling confused about her future.

After she hung up, Kevin asked, "The kids were mobbed at school?"

Mildred looked up and looked at him, then she nodded and said, "Right, but, they are okay now. I am leaving."

She turned around and opened the door to the study, she was about to leave when Kevin said in a cold voice, "Are they with Bryan now?"

Mildred paused, she turned around and looked at him, "At 30'clock this afternoon, they will call Paisley, don't tell her yet."

"You are lying to her, you know that she doesn't feel well now." Kevin didn't agree with her and knitted his brows, "Tell me, where are the kids, I will get them."

Mildred frowned sadly, she turned around to face Kevin, "Kevin, why are you so weird today, you were never like this before, I know about Paisley better than you do, but we need to think about the kids too, they need a father, if you really want to treat her right, you should think about it. The kids are at the Moore Group now."

Kevin was speechless after what she said.

Mildred stared at him, "I am going to check on Paisley."

This time, Shirley slept till almost 5 in the afternoon, when she woke up, Mildred was sitting next to her.

Shirley rubbed her head and sat up, then asked, "What time is it?"

"It's still bright outside, 3 minutes to 5." Mildred took her phone and checked.

Shirley was shocked and said in a lowered voice, "That's how long I slept, where is Master, how is he now?"

"He is already out, this afternoon at 30'clock, there is a press conference at ZP Square, telling officially that Amelia was fired as his student, the internet is going crazy about it, Kevin said that if you wake up, he will come to pick you up to ZC restaurant for dinner, how are you feeling now?" Mildred turned on her phone to look at her Weibo, showing Shirley the video of the press conference to her.

Shirley saw how Arthur appeared in the video, and felt sad about it!

"Do you think Master took it too fast?" She didn't want to beg for mercy for Amelia, but she knew how Arthur felt about her, and how much hope he had in her, having him face all that in just one day, it was crue for him.

Mildred said, "Kevin said it is better sooner than later, we should break the bridge behind her, so that she would have no chance to come back to Mr. Steward."

"Right." When she thought about two years ago, the way Amelia had treated the two kids, she felt anger in her heart that was hard to press down, "Let's go, I am alright now."

Shirley pushed back the blanket, and got up.

Mildred looked at her back, and bit her lips, then she got up as well and followed her.

"Paisley, the kids just called." Mildred took her phone and handed it to her.

Shirley took it, and asked, "It's okay, you can pick them up, they are good kids."

"No, you should call back and ask about what happened at school today!"

Shirley paused, she looked up at her, and asked, "What happened at school?"

Mildred felt as if in a pickle and frowned, "You should ask them yourself."

She took Shirley's right hand, and gave her the phone, "You should be prepared, the two of them aren't at school since this morning anymore."

"What!"

"Don't get angry, call first and ask." Mildred squeezed her hand, trying to press down her anxiety.

Shirley took a deep breath, then she dialed the number to the phone the kids carried.

She immediately heard Jacob's voice, "Mommy."

Shirley tried to hold the anger she felt in her chest, and asked, "Where are you and your sister?"

"Mommy, we are with Daddy, we are going to ZC restaurant for dinner, Mommy, let me ask Daddy to pick you up."

"Why did you skip school?" Shirley clenched her fists and bit her teeth then asked.

She couldn't accept that the kids skipped school, for her, this was a very bad habit.

Jacob was stuttering.

After a while, she heard Bryan's voice in the phone, "The two got beaten up, Emma's ponytail was pulled off, her toy broke, and Jacob received a few fists from someone." This was news that Shirley was not prepared for, she was shocked.

"Where are you now, I am coming over." Shirley asked anxiously.

"We are going to ZC restaurant, they are fine, I already took care of it." Bryan calmed her down.

"Okay, let's meet at ZC restaurant." Shirley hung up the phone and turned to look at Mildred, "Let's go there, the kids will be there as well."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
