---- Chapter 127 Looking at the string of numbers that were deducted from her account, Wendy couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache. Her empty stomach started to growl at that moment. She'd been so busy all evening that she didn't even have dinner. Wendy grabbed a sandwich from the fridge before popping it in the microwave. As she leaned against the kitchen counter, she called Zelda. What Ethan had said that afternoon still lingered in her mind.

Children wouldn't lie about something like that even if they did spout nonsense. But Wendy had taught Ethan from a young age never to make stuff up when it came to his body. She was worried he might actually be feeling unwell. "Ethan was indeed feeling unwell in the morning, but he became much better by the afternoon." As soon as the call connected , Zelda updated her on Ethan's condition. Wendy then asked for more details, but Zelda sounded a little dispirited.

"After what happened last time, Ethan's health has improved ---- abit. Also, Mr. Frank took him and Ms. Jenna out for dinner again tonight." Upon finding out that Ethan seemed physically fine now, Wendy finally let outa sigh of relief. Yet, the things Ethan said still lingered in her mind. She fell into a daze as she recalled them. Zelda suddenly sighed. "Mrs. Frank, I think you should really come back soon.

Ethan, he..." She trailed off mid-sentence, clicking her tongue as if deciding not to continue. Sensing she was holding her tongue, Wendy, tired as she was, pressed, "What about Ethan?" It was then Zelda finally told her what had happened today. She told Wendy everything, from being sent away in the morning to being scolded by Ethan upon returning in the afternoon. Wendy furrowed her brows halfway through the account. "How could he talk to you like that?

And James is just letting him be like this? It's bad enough that he's not disciplining Ethan, but he's letting Jenna manipulate Ethan as well?" Zelda hesitated before replying, "Mr. Frank genuinely trusts Ms. Jenna, and Ethan only acts like that when Mr. Frank's not around. It's like he's a completely different child. I'm just a nanny.

I'm only able to stay this long because Ethan's used to ---- my care, and both of you trust me, so I can't really say anything." She spoke bitterly, still brooding over Ethan's rude and disrespectful words. It wasn't that Zelda felt aggrieved. She simply didn't wish to see such a sweet child turn into someone unkind. Wendy stayed silent for a moment before remarking, "There's nothing I can do about him anymore. If Ethan has any health issues, please let me know.

And Zelda, thank you for taking care of him." Children aged around four or five were full of energy. Zelda was 15 years older than Wendy. Taking care of a child that age was exhausting, so all Zelda could do was try to watch over Ethan as best as she could. After hanging up, Wendy sent Zelda a generous sum of money. It was a small token of appreciation for her efforts. This was all she could do for now. As for Ethan, she no longer held the same expectations she once did.

Asa mother, all she hoped for now was that he would grow up safe and healthy. The microwave soon dinged, and she brought her dinner to the table. After eating alone, showering, and getting ready for bed, Wendy still felt a vague unease. ---- Thankfully, with everything that had happened that day, she was exhausted and was able to fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. The next morning, Wendy tried calling Liam.
