Chapter 438
Larissa got a call from Aster’s homeroom teacher during work once again. She hurriedly made her way
to the kindergarten and found Aster In the teacher’s office. He stood next to the homeroom teacher’s
seat with his head down, his eyes red even as his teeth bit down hard into his lower lip. The look on his
face was one of stubbomness.
Well, he did not look i
Larissa released a little sigh of relief.
The homeroom teacher stood up immediately upon seeing her.
Maam-
Aster turned to look at her, and his eyes were a little watery. His stubbornness gradually faded into

“Ms. Gilmore.” She turned to look at the homeroom teacher. “What happened?”
In the phone call Ella Gilmore had only said that “something had happened” and that Larissa should
“come over to the Academy quickly.” but she did not say what happened exactly. Looking at Aster, Ella
sighed softly. “Aster pushed Bethany, causing her to fall and spill hot water on herself. Her arm has
been scalded. She has now been sent to the hospital”
Larissa frowned-Bethany Rogers again, it seemed that whenever that brat was involved, nothing good
could ever come out of it.
“I didn’t push her? Aster denied with agitation. “just pulled away from hert She fell down on her own He
looked up at Larissa with hope. and Larissa gently rubbed his head, soothing him.
“I believe you.” She knew exactly what kind of person her son was, If he had truly done something

prove it?”
Ella was a little awkward. “Well, no one saw it and there’s no surveillance footage — It was Bethany

Ella’s concern was valid.

believed that Aster would definitely tell her the truth and disavow that student
However, Bethany would not be the same.
Aber Aster calmed down, Larissa asked him again, “Can you tell me what happened?”
Asternodded and said, “I was in charge of clearing the dishes while everyone else went to take their
naps after lunch. Then Bethany came
in. She had a thermos in hand, saying that she came over to drink some water. She poured a cup and
left it on the table. Saying that she
was waiting for it to cool down. Lignored her, and she came over to pull at my hand, refusing to let me
lake the dishes, so I threw her hand aside-I swear that I didn’t push her, and then she fell down, spiling
the water as she did. I went to find Ms. Gilmore, and then Bethany
said that I was the one who pushed her, which was why she fell down
