Abused
A few days passed.
It was rare for Nicole to send Levi to school.
Levi did not know whether he was happy or not at school. Every time Nicole asked him, he would ask her back, “Can I not go to
school if I’m not happy?”
Oh, of course not.
Levi sighed loudly like an old man with lots of problems. It seemed like Levi could put up with this school.
When they got to school, Nicole asked him to get out of the car. She carried his school bag to the entrance, held his hand, and
could not help but sigh.
“If only you could stay this young forever.”
Levi gave her a look. “It’s impossible for you to stay young forever either.”
Nicole retorted, “You really are Grant’s son!”
“Yup.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
At that moment, Levi’s eyes lit up when he looked behind Nicole. He waved his hand frantically and shouted, “Chance!”
Chance ran over with a heavy school bag on his back. He was equally happy to see Levi.
When Chance saw Nicole, he was excited at first but quickly looked downcast.
The expression on his face changed so quickly.
Since his birthday party when Chatty almost drowned, Chance had been blaming himself.
Seeing Nicole here this time, Chance was really excited and ashamed.
Nicole had long forgotten what happened last time.
Chance stood three or four steps away from Nicole and hesitated to go forward. He looked at her cautiously.
Nicole smiled and beckoned to him.
“Chance, school starts today. You look very happy! ”
Chance smiled and walked over slowly when he saw that Nicole was not going to blame him for Chatty’s incident. 1
Nicole saw that it was almost time to leave and handed the schoolbag to Levi.
“Little Leaf, call me if you need anything. I’ll get going!”
Levi nodded and waved at her.
“Goodbye, Auntie!”
Chance smiled, looked at Nicole, took out his pen and paper, and quickly wrote something on it.
However, before he could finish writing, the wind blew away the paper from his hand.
Chance chased after the paper but accidentally bumped into a passing classmate.
Both students fell to the ground.
Nicole was shocked G>_rJ6VT went to help him.
Unexpectedly, Nicole saw some bruises on Chance’s back and waist that were accidentally exposed.
Those were pinch marks.
Some of them were new, but some marks were old. It was shocking to see.
Nicole was horrified. Before she could touch him, Chance stood up by himself and patted the dirt from
his body.
The classmate who bumped into Chance burst into tears, attracting many people’s attention.
Chance blinked and lowered his head guiltily as if he had done something wrong.
He felt lost.
The teacher came over and asked what happened. She patted Chance’s little hand to reassure him
before she let him go.
The parent of the student who was crying did not want to let Chance off the hook so easily, but the
teacher stopped the parent in time and whispered something along the lines of Chance being Eric
Ferguson’s son. The parent looked at Chance and sheepishly shut his mouth.
Levi went over to help Chance with his school bag.
Nicole pulled Chance aside. She had mixed feelings when she saw his innocent and obedient look.
She pursed her lips, squatted down, and looked at Chance.
After all, Chance was Eric’s son, the young master of Ferguson Corporation.
Why were there signs that Chance had been beaten all over?
Who did it?
Chance looked at Nicole and blinked.
Nicole pursed her lips and reached out to touch his butt. Chance was shocked, and his face turned
pale.
“Who hit you? This is abuse. Did you tell your father or Mitchell?”
Nicole frowned. Seeing Chance’s panicked look, she continued to ask, “Who bullied you? Did this
happen in school? Or is it your nanny at home?”
Yasmin did not seem like someone who would do such a thing.
How sick would one have to be to hit a child?
Chance lowered his eyes and did not speak. He could not say a word, but his body was tense and stiff.
He was shaking from fear.
However, Nicole could not figure out why Chance was like this.
Nicole had mixed feelings when she saw that Chance would not say a word.
The Stantons had two children. Levi and Chatty were both so pampered by the family.
They would never hit their children. Clayton also could not bear to lay a finger on Chatty. 1
Chance was almost the same age as their kids.
Chance looked glorious on the surface bearing the name of Young Master Chance, but his body was
actually covered with scars.
Nicole could not figure out who did this.
Was this school violence or domestic violence?
If Chance was from any other family, Nicole could rush over to question them.
However, she could not do the same with the Fergusons.
Nicole had no right to question Eric why he treated his son like this.
As she thought about this, she felt really angry and despondent.
