Maria quickly embraced her as soon as she saw that her best friend was about to shed tears
“Don’t get too emotional about it. Louis was wrong meddling with your drawing and you did a brave thing standing up against him”
“But I got injured in the process”
“It doesn’t matter if you broke your ankle. After we left for the infirmary, the teacher made everyone understand how brave you were to fight for what belongs to you and he punished Louis for misbehaving”
Hearing this, Ruth stopped crying stared at Maria in bewilderment. She felt comforted by the fact that their teacher did that for her and more still, Louis got punished for being the cause of her unforeseen accident.
“Is that really happened?”
She questioned in disbelief without minding the fact that Sean was listening to their conversation. Sean decided to wait to hear more of what Maria had to say concerning the aftermath of the incident that took place in their classroom.
