Chapter 712 I Refuse To Apologize (2/2)

Everything is going to be okay.”

Fortunately, the doctor did a wonderful job of patching up Dylan's wound quickly. When the boy came to his senses he immediately knew that Emily was blaming herself for the accident with just one look at her. He reached out his hand towards Emily and said, ”Why do you look so sad? You really don't have to worry about me. I am a big boy, you know. And I've heard what the doctor said about the scar. That's not a big deal at all. In fact, I think it'll make me look cool and mature!”

Dylan was such a sweet and sensitive boy that he understood why Emily was worried about him. Taking her feelings into consideration, he tried to lift her spirits by pretending to be tough, even though his head was still hurting.

Jacob understood what Dylan was doing and he patted him on the shoulder, as he couldn't be more proud of the person he had become. When Jacob saw Beryl hiding behind Ancho at the top of the stairs, with a guilt-stricken look on her face, he immediately figured out what had happened.

”Ancho, care to explain what happened? Did Dylan fall down the stairs by accident or did someone push him?” Jacob's cold voice drove shivers down her spine.

Ancho avoided Jacob's sharp eyes, trembling with fear, ”Sorry, sir! I... I didn't see what happened. It wasn't me! I...”

”This has nothing to do with Ancho. It was me. I pushed Dylan,” Beryl confessed. ”But it's all his fault! He said all these horrible things about you that got me angry!”

”So you pushed him down? Just because you were angry at him?” Jacob shouted at her.

”Yes! So what? He deserved it!” Beryl felt disappointed at the way Jacob was charging at her.

”Beryl! How dare you!” Jacob roared, ”What's the matter with you? Why won't you apologize to Dylan? I am so disappointed at you!” Jacob couldn't understand how the loveliest girl in the world had become such an unruly child.

Emily simply stared at Beryl with a deadpan expression on her face. She was at a complete loss for words.

Beryl had gone too far today. Emily loved her daughter, but that love didn't come without principle. She decided not to defend Beryl, either. She knew that if she had stopped Jacob, Beryl would never realize her mistakes and that would be even worse. Seeing how her daughter reacted today, frightened her to think what her daughter would be like in the future.

If Beryl had simply apologized to Dylan, everything would be different. But she didn't. She thought she would lose face if she did that in front of all the people. And she felt wronged by her father wondering why he chose to stand with Dylan instead of her?

”I refuse to apologize! I refuse to apologize!” Beryl repeated loudly.
