Chapter 574
Easton looked at the little girl in front of him carefully. She was a little shorter than him and looked a
little thin.
But her eyes were gentle and nimble. She was timid and nobody could bear to refuse her.
Easton nodded. She looked much prettier than the most beautiful girl in his class. So he was a little
curious about her.
"What do you need them for? Didn't your school distribute them to you?"
Fiona felt sad. Of course, the school had distributed books to them for free, but these extra workbooks
were for sale.
After her mother left home, she lived with her father, who found her a stepmother. She had a half-
brother now.
And she rarely had any more pocket money. She didn't dare to tell her family about such things,
because she knew they would not give her money.
Easton looked at the sad girl in front of him and sighed. "Well, just let it go if you don't want to tell me.
They are useless to me. Take them back if you need them. It's good not to waste these books."
Hearing what Easton said, the little girl looked up at him. She now felt that the boy in front of her was
not only good-looking, but also very nice.
"Thank you. I will repay you."
Easton coughed.
Easton was a little shy to hear her say this seriously. He cleared his throat. "Then let's exchange phone
numbers. We are friends now and I'll protect you."
After saying that, Easton found that his phone was in the pocket of his changed clothes. Instead, he
took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down his number, and handed it to Fiona.
Fiona was about to pick it up when suddenly, there was a woman shouting and swearing from behind.
"Where the hell is the girl going? I asked her to buy something for me and she's still dawdling. Did she
run away with the money? She's such a money-losing bitch."
Easton had never heard anyone speak so vulgarly. He looked over and saw a woman with a fierce look
came over.
The woman also saw Fiona standing next to Easton, and immediately came over angrily, "Well, I asked
you to buy milk for your little brother but you ran out to talk to others. Do you want to starve your
brother to death? You are really heartless."
Then she reached out to pinch Fiona. Fiona shivered with fear and was about to apologize. Easton
said, "What are you going to do, lady? "
Although he had only said a few words to Fiona, Easton had a good impression of her. Besides, he had
said that he would protect her, so how could he see her being bullied?
"Who are you? It's none of your business. Don't interfere while I'm teaching my daughter!"
"You abused a child in front of me. Why is it none of my business?"
Easton was not afraid of her at all. He didn't care about anyone who was much more powerful than this
woman. How could he care about what she said?
"Well, am I bullying her? Her mother left her alone and eloped with another man. I've been good to her
by feeding her and clothing her. You brat, mind your own business. Fiona, come here quickly!"
Fiona's eyes turned red when she heard this.
When her mother left, she was too young to remember anything. When she grew up, the adults told her
that her mother had cheated on her father and eloped with a wild man.
It was a huge shock to a child that her mother didn't want her anymore.
"My mother must have left for some reason. You are lying."
"How dare you talk back to me? Go back quickly and I'll punish you."
Then the middle-aged woman grabbed Fiona's thin wrist and tried to pull her away.
Easton knew Fiona would be beaten after going back. So he immediately pulled her hand and kept
them from leaving.
However, Easton was a child after all, and couldn't match the strength of an adult, so he slowly lost his
grip on her hand.
Easton was worried and suddenly thought of a way. He held Fiona's hand and cried loudly.
"Help! Someone here is going to abuse children. Help us call the police!"
His voice attracted the eyes of the passers-by who had been indifferent. Many people took out their cell
phones and called the police when they saw the scene.
Fiona had never met such a situation and was startled. "Don't do that."
She had never been to the Police Station. Although Easton was doing it to protect her, asking the
Police for help could only solve the difficulties for a while. She might have been bullied even worse by
her family afterward.
"Don't be afraid. Do you want to find your mother? My father is great. He will definitely help you find
your mother!"
Easton immediately comforted her. When Fiona heard this, she wavered and thought about it. She
really missed her mother. In this family, she seemed like an unnecessary person, so she nodded and
said nothing.
"Fiona, how dare you call the police?"
The middle-aged woman was a little flustered. Although she was mean to her children, she was just an
ordinary person who had never dealt with the police. She felt that something bad was going to happen.
"I, I want the policeman to help me find my mother."
Fiona summoned the courage and looked at the woman in front of her.
She couldn't stay at this home anymore. This woman often beat and scolded her, calling her a money-
losing person. Sometimes when her father would also beat her when he was drunk, saying that she
was the same as her mother.
Easton nodded with satisfaction when he saw that she had finally given up on compromise.
After a while, the police came and saw a lot of people watching. In case causing a bad impact, the
police directly brought the three people back to the Police Station.
...
Meredith didn't find Easton when she arrived at school.
She immediately became nervous. Although Easton was usually naughty, he rarely wandered off.
Did he get left behind by his teacher? Meredith consoled herself.
Meredith immediately asked the teachers, but they said that Easton left the school as soon as school
was over.
Only then did Meredith realize that something must happen.
A lot of bad thoughts came to her mind, and she even thought that he might have been kidnapped by Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
bad people.
After all, Easton was from the Xaviers, and it was possible for him to be kidnapped.
Meredith called Easton, but no one answered. So she went out to look for him and asked a few
teachers to help, but Easton was nowhere to be found.
