It Wasn’t Me
Cheryl’s first reaction when she saw Eric was to shirk any responsibility.The teacher looked up at
Cheryl, hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr.Ferguson, you provided Chance’s safety harness, and it
was never faulty.When Ms.Lichman put it on for Chance, I reminded her to be careful..."
Eric’s face darkened.
Although he did not witness the accident, he immediately understood what caused the accident after
listening to their explanation.
Eric glanced at Cheryl coldly.He was no longer polite as he said frankly, "You can explain it to my
lawyer and the police later."
He implied that he would not brush off this matter easily.
Cheryl instantly looked embarrassed.
The teacher said, "The doctor will be here soon."
In the next second, another person hurried in.
"Chance..."
Yasmin ran in anxiously and knelt beside Chance with worry in her eyes.She carefully touched
Chance’s head.
It looked gory because of the pool of blood under his head.
Chance pulled her sleeve tightly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he could not
make a sound.His eyes were full of tears.He was extremely frightened when he looked at Yasmin.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, they thought Chance’s tearful appearance showed his dependence
on Yasmin.
Eric looked at them with a complex gaze.
Within five minutes, the doctor came running in.
Soon after, the ambulance arrived.
The paramedics carefully carried Chance away on a stretcher.
When Yasmin stood up, tears were already streaming down her face.
Yasmin glared at Cheryl angrily.
"Ms.Lichman, didn’t you say that you’d take good care of the young master? Did you want to get rid of
him because you see him as an eyesore? That way, you won’t need to be a stepmother to Chance
when you marry into the Ferguson family."
Cheryl’s face turned pale.She opened her mouth to refute, but Eric’s cold and indifferent gaze was like
a slap in the face.
Even Yasmin, the nanny, saw through Cheryl’s thoughts and dared to accuse her unscrupulously.
How could Eric not have thought about it? Eric probably already thought about Cheryl’s motives when
he mentioned that he would call his lawyer DFq&(nMI the police.
Yasmin looked at the entrance with a heartbroken expression, took a step forward, and grabbed
Cheryl’s clothes fiercely: "You vicious woman! How dare you attack a child?! Mr.Ferguson, will you still
turn a blind eye to how she treats your son?"
Cheryl staggered back a couple steps and almost fell to the ground.She felt that her whole body was
drained of energy, and she could barely stand up.
Cheryl looked up at Eric and saw the chill in his eyes.She had never seen that kind of coldness and
sternness before.
Everyone could not help but chime in.
"That’s right, Mr.Ferguson! We all witnessed it.Ms.Lichman urged Chance to climb higher even when
he couldn’t.She kept pushing him!"
"Sigh...Chance isn’t her child, so she won’t feel bad if anything happens to him."
"Yeah! All of us saw that she tied the safety harness to Chance just now.Maybe she tampered with it..."
Cheryl shook her head.
Her face was pale as she trembled in fear.
"It wasn’t me...It wasn’t me..."
However, the people present kept accusing her.
What a nightmare! With so many people as witnesses, how could she not be a suspect? Eric called
Mitchell and went to the hospital.
As soon as Eric left, the school tried to figure out how best to give Eric a proper explanation.
They checked the surveillance footage and asked some parents who witnessed the accident to stay
back.
Nicole did not come out of the room to check on what was going on, so she did not know that such a
big mishap occurred.
She only found out when the teacher apologetically told her that they had to suspend all activities.
Levi was immersed in his own world and did not hear the commotion outside.
When he heard that his friend Chance was injured, he stood up anxiously and wanted to visit Chance.
Nicole frowned slightly at Chance’s sudden mishap.She also felt sorry for the child who had a speech
disability.
"Auntie, please let me go.Chance is my good friend.He’s so pitiful.He doesn’t have a mommy and his
daddy doesn’t like him.I just want to see if he’s okay..."
Nicole hesitated for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.
Although she did not want to have anything to do with the Ferguson family, she could not stop the
younger generation from becoming friends.
The two families could not avoid each other just because of Nicole’s personal reasons.
After asking the school about the hospital Chance was sent to, Nicole and Chance set off.
Levi anxiously followed Nicole to the hospital.
In the car, Nicole repeatedly instructed Levi.
"Let’s just take a look and come back.We can’t stay in the hospital for too long."
Levi nodded.
"Don’t worry, Auntie.You won’t be so unlucky to meet Chance’s daddy."
He looked at her with clear eyes.
However, Nicole was stunned and blinked.
"What do you know?"
Levi pursed his lips and raised his chin slightly.
"Daddy told me to watch out for you when we're outside.I can’t let others get close to you, especially
the Ferguson family.I’ve asked Daddy, and he said that besides Chance, everyone else is off limits!"
Nicole pursed her lips and could not help but take another look at Levi.
At such a young age, Levi already resembled Grant in terms of speech.
She could not help but feel a little envious because her eldest brother’s son was so sensible, especially
when she compared him to Chatty, who was spoiled by Clayton.
That little girl even dared to smash a computer in the conference room.
Nicole enviously touched Levi's tender face and sighed.
"You’re such a good boy, Little Leaf! I love you!"
"Auntie, can you promise me something?"
"What is it?"
Levi wrapped his little fingers around Nicole’s pinky and lowered his head to discuss with her.
"I want to stay with Chance in the hospital."
Nicole smiled.
"No way!"
Levi was speechless.
Although Nicole was touched just now, she was still rational and did not let her emotions get in the way.
Luca, who was driving in front, also smirked when he heard this.
When they arrived at the hospital, Nicole called the hospital director, who happily informed her of
Chance’s location.
Nicole held Levi's hand, and they went into the elevator.
The elevator went up to the sixteenth floor.
There were fewer people on the VIP floor, with more doctors walking around than patients.
As soon as Nicole came out of the elevator, she saw Eric and Mitchell talking with their backs to her.
The light in the emergency room was dim, indicating that the rescue was over.
Did it mean that Levi was not seriously injured? Levi took Nicole’s hand and wanted to go in to check it
out.
However, Nicole did not want to be seen by Eric and Mitchell, so she pointed to the stairway beside
her.
"I wait for you here.Come and look for me when you're done.You only have five minutes!"
Levi nodded and ran away hastily.No one noticed such a small child.
Nicole entered the stairway at the corner.
Unexpectedly, she could hear the conversation between Eric and Mitchell clearly from where she was
standing.
Mitchell seemed to be talking on the phone.
After he hung up the phone, he looked serious as he spoke to Eric.
"Mr.Lichman was in Danburg for a meeting.He heard what happened, so he’s rushing over now.He
asks that you be merciful toward Cheryl."
