“Mommy taught us to be a good person. If Bad Daddy has changed, why don’t we give him a chance to be a good
person?”
“If we treat him well, he’ll treat us well. If we treat him badly, he’ll do the same to us. Why don’t we be kinder to
him and have one more person that treats us well?”
Abby spoke her mind with reason.
She had always been Adie’s number-one fan and most loyal supporter.
Renee laughed and joked that Abby would always be undoubtedly supportive of Adie. She did not expect them to
quarrel over Stefan.
“Uh, hey… You two…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRenee listened as the little ones quarreled. She turned to Adie and then to Abby, feeling a little at a loss. It was the
first time she had encountered such a scene.
“Abby, your thoughts are problematic. A bad guy will always be a bad guy. He’ll never become a good person. We’ll
hurt ourselves by being kind to the bad guys!”
“That’s not true. People may make mistakes. If not, why would we need teachers and police officers?”
It was Adie’s first time dealing with Abby’s stubbornness. He could only drag Renee into the argument in
desperation.
“Mommy, say something. What do you think? Do you support Abby or me? Or… Do we have to forgive Bad Daddy?”
“About that…” Renee pinched her jaw and pondered the question. How could she resolve the conflict and answer
without hurting them?
“Well, I think it’s good to be strong. It’s right to be kind too. It’s important to find a balance between the two. You
shouldn’t give a chance to someone who’s absolutely evil or hurt someone who’s kind and beat him to death, so…”
“So, it’s all about Bad Daddy’s sincerity, right?”
Adie instantly understood Renee’s answer. He behaved like an adult and said with a serious nod, “Mommy’s right.
We can’t just beat him to death. Why don’t we call him out and take a stand!”
“I agree! Let’s ask Bad Daddy what he thinks… But what’s with him? It’s been so long. Why isn’t he done?”
Renee listened to the two children and noticed that Stefan seemed to have been in the bathroom for too long. Why
was there no movement at all?!”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Renee turned towards the bathroom and pushed open the door to find Stefan unconscious on the floor. Stefan had
changed into his clothes and removed the heavy makeup from his face. However, he was lying on the floor and

shut his eyes tightly!
“W-what’s going on?” Renee paled in confusion.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong, Mommy?”
The little ones heard Renee and hurriedly ran over. They were startled to see such a situation too.
“He seems to have fainted…”
Renee went forward to nudge Stefan, only to find him unresponsive. Without a second to waste, she called for an
ambulance to take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
“You two stay home. Get some rest and listen to Margaret. No more playing around. I’ll be back soon!”
Renee gave the two little ones a good lecture before leaving for the hospital with the ambulance.
About an hour later, the doctor came out with the report.
