122: [Bonus chapter]Principal's office

[Bonus chapter]Principal's office

When Heaven woke up in this body, she heard that the school summoned Dominic because Sebastian hurt his classmate. From what she heard, Sebastian caused his classmate a nosebleed after punching him. She didn't bring up the topic, knowing Dominic already resolved the matter.  1

Moreover, Sebastian wasn't hurt. 

However, who would have thought that her advice would only lead to what she feared the most? That was Sebastian getting hurt at the hands of another. 

Just because she told him to be good, Sebastian allowed another kid to hurt him. Despite that, he was more worried about what his mother would think. He was even more concerned if she was disappointed in him instead of his nosebleed. 

How could a mother not have her world crumble with such questions?

"I'm sorry." A tear suddenly rolled down Heaven's cheek, trying her best to keep herself together. "I'm sorry."

Heaven lowered her head, wiping the blood on Sebastian's upper lip. Meanwhile, Sebastian sported a frown as he watched his mother shed tears. He glanced at his father, who was sitting beside Heaven. 

Dominic was quiet, staring at him and then at Heaven's trembling back. His expression was dark and his eyes could even freeze hell. 

'He's angry,' Sebastian thought, knowing his father too well. It was rare for Dominic to get angry, but when he does, Sebastian would always be quiet. Not just Sebastian, but anyone who knew Dominic would stay quiet for their own sake. 

"Ahem!" the principal cleared his throat, keeping his eyes on Sebastian. "We have already given the children first aid kit —"

"I don't see it." Dominic coldly cut off the principal before taking his phone out. He raised a finger at the principal as he sped dialed Dane's contact number. "Get a doctor in here asap. My son is having a nosebleed."

"Yes, sir —"

Dominic didn't even wait for Dane to finish his answer as he hung up, setting his attention back on the principal. "Direct to the point, principal. I don't think I can spare enough patience today. Tell me what happened and how my son got beaten while within the premises?"

The principal momentarily held his breath and swallowed a mouthful of air. He could feel Dominic's dissatisfaction deep into his bones, revealing how this man was not pleased with this situation. 

"According to the students —"

"From the students?" Dominic didn't even wait for the principal to continue as he immediately pointed out what was wrong in that unfinished sentence. "Is there no teacher around to supervise the children?"

"Ah, well." The principal sighed, glancing to his side where the two teachers in charge of the class stood. "The teachers left for a moment to grab some materials for the class, but when they came back, Sebastian and Yun were already wrestling."

The principal bowed his head, hands on his thigh. "I admit we have our shortcomings, Mister Zhu. This wouldn't happen if they didn't step out, even for a second. We are sorry that this happened."

Sorry?

In most cases, hearing someone apologize sincerely was enough. However, why did this word sound so painful to listen to? Was apologizing the only thing they could do?

Heaven scoffed as she slowly raised her eyes at the principal. He was bowing deeply to show his sincerity, even the other two teachers standing on the side were bowing. They were acknowledging their shortcoming, but alas, Heaven just couldn't find that acceptable. 

"My son!" Before Heaven and Dominic could express their displeasure, a woman's voice rang inside the principal's office. "Oh, my god! My baby!"

A woman showed up by the door, rushing to the seat across from Heaven, Dominic, and Sebastian. She scoffed in disbelief as she cupped her son's face with both her hands, assessing the slight bruise on little Yun's face. 

Unlike Sebastian, little Yun didn't seem he was hurt. At least, not where others could see. 

"Who!" The woman's breath hitched, glaring daggers at the family of three across from her. Her eyes instantly fell on Sebastian and the sight of him filled her eyes with rage. "You again!! What did you do this time, hah!? This brat — how dare you hurt my little Yun —"

The woman almost bit her tongue when she lifted her gaze, only to see Dominic's icy countenance. But what surprised her the most was that familiar woman she kept bumping into. 

"You!" the woman pointed at Heaven, wide-eyed. "What is this woman doing here?! No, principal! How can you let this psychopath inside these premises?!"

The woman gasped as she cast the principal a look. The latter also didn't know, as Heaven only arrived with Dominic Zhu. Now that the woman mentioned it, the principal couldn't help but wonder as well. 

Who was this woman?

"Are you here to hurt my little Yun?! Are you the one who…" the woman trailed off as she darted her eyes between Heaven, Dominic, and Sebastian. Her mouth fell open.

No.

Her guess wasn't correct, right?

That psychopath wasn't with the Zhu's, right?

"Mommy." Little Yun tugged his mother's hand, glaring daggers at Sebastian. "Basti is so violent! I was just exposing his lies about his mother making him a lunchbox. But he kept lying to everyone that he had a mommy!"

The child's mother almost choked as she looked back at her son.

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you and stayed away from him, but I just can't allow him to lie to everyone," the child continued with a pout. "I told him it was fine to have no mother, but he just attacked me. Mommy is right. A child without a mother is violent…"

The woman covered her son's mouth, but it was too late. What her son said was enough for Heaven and Dominic to know what truly happened.

"I warned you, didn't I?" Heaven balled her hand into a tight fist, slowly rising from her seat with her fiery eyes fixed on the mother and child. "I told you to discipline your son."

"What — what are you doing?" The woman stuttered as Heaven walked over to the coffee table between them, and without further ado, grabbed her by the collar. "Kya!! What are you — help!!" 

Heaven's grip around the woman's collar tightened. "Maybe… your life is enough to quench my anger," she announced under her breath. 

"I'll know once I did." As soon as those words rolled out of her tongue, she swiftly let go of the woman and kicked the back of her feet, causing the woman to fall. Heaven immediately pounced on her, holding the woman's neck as she strangled her to death.

"I told him it was fine to have no mother, but he just attacked me. Mommy is right. A child without a mother is violent…"

Heaven blinked ever so tenderly, calming herself. The moment she looked at the mother and son, she already thought of various methods of hurting them, varying from strangling to setting them on fire. However, she didn't do that even though she had long sold her morals and soul to the devil as Hera. 

Hurting them would only prove their point. For the sake of Sebastian, Heaven could only clench her teeth and grip her hands so she wouldn't throw them senselessly. Dominic also placed his hand on top of her hand, remembering her request to not let go of her.
