Xander frowned and also felt wrong. “No, this isn’t like the way our family handles things.”
Jasper’s anger intensified, “How does your family usually handle things? I think they’re biased against Laura! Then let me take care of her! Why are you leaving her out lonely?”
Everett couldn’t bear to say, “It is indeed out of line!”
Zayn glanced at them and said, “I’ll take her to another hospital now. She doesn’t have to live in your house anymore.”
Xander said, “Zayn, Laura is my sister. Please calm down.”
Zayn’s face darkened horribly, “I was trying to calm down, but what about you? She’s still fine at my house, but after just a day of caring for Mr. Smith, she’s in this state! Are you going to say that she was not ill–treated?”
Suddenly, a male voice sounded behind him. “Zayn? You’re out of school? So fast?”
Zayn turned around and was not surprised to see Dexter, “You’re just in time. Come with me to transfer Laura!”
Dexter was puzzled and asked, “Why?”
Zayn grew furious, “What do you think? Laura didn’t even have anyone to look after her. Why are you asking me?”
Dexter twitched his mouth and raised his hand hesitantly, asking, “Could it possibly be me taking care of her?”
Zayn was silent.
Xander was puzzled.
Dexter smiled awkwardly and explained, “We’ve been with her for an hour now. Joshua and the others have other matters to attend to, so they must step out. Since no one can replace me, I needed to use the restroom, so I left her alone momentarily.”
Zayn’s eyes were filled with anger. “Are you the one taking care of Laura?”
Dexter nodded, “It’s me.”
Zayn’s face darkened as he shouted urgently, “What’s the matter with you? Don’t you realize she’s still a child and shouldn’t be left alone? You can’t go to the restroom until someone else comes back!”
Laura felt so noisy. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Zayn scolding Dexter.

Dexter was dumbfounded by Zayn’s fierceness. When he noticed Laura woke up, his expression instantly changed. “Oh my God, I am your father! How dare you yell at me for a girl! I don’t want to live!”
Zayn was puzzled.
Laura frowned, “Zayn… You’re yelling at Dexter?”
Zayn stopped breathing and looked at her in astonishment, “Are you awake?”
She nodded and scolded, “How can you talk to Dexter like that?”
Zayn was about to explain, but he saw Dexter sitting calmly beside Laura, sobbing, “Laura, please listen to me! While you were sleeping, I just went to the restroom. And when Zayn saw me, he scolded me! My emotions are all over the place!”
Everett, Jasper, and Xander were all speechless.
The three of them looked at Zayn with sympathy, “I didn’t expect your father to be like this.”
Zayn was speechless.
Laura looked at Zayn and was a little disappointed, “Zayn, Dexter is so nice that you can’t shout at him. Don’t you know?”
Zayn said helplessly, “Got it. I’ll make it up to him.”
Dexter instantly smiled, “Zayn, you owe me a meal!”
Zayn shivered and said through gritted teeth, “Yes.”
Dexter walked away. “Then take your time chatting. I’ll go outside and give you some space to chat!”
Everett was stunned. “Zayn, if my dad could be a blend of your dad, it would be great. My dad is really strict.”
Zayn was furious. “It’s because of his behavior that I don’t trust him.”
He leaned down to tuck Laura in and said distressed, “Did he do this to you?”
Louis happened to come back from somewhere else. Hearing this, he paused.
Laura bit her lower lip, and Louis‘ face appeared in her head.
If she was honest, Zayn would definitely quarrel with Louis.
It was going to be a lot of trouble.
She looked at him timidly and said, “No, I did it myself.”

Louis was stunned.
Zayn asked anxiously, “What do you mean?”
Laura bit her lower lip and muttered, I… I ate ten boxes of ice cream secretly.
The atmosphere was silent.
Zayn’s worried expression suddenly showed a trace of anger. He straightened up and looked down at her. “Ten boxes of ice cream?”
He said the word “ten” hard.
Jasper’s eyes suddenly turned indifferent. “Laura, I told you that only one ball of ice cream can be
eaten.”
Everett was speechless. “You can’t eat ten ice creams even if you have ten cakes. No good person can afford to eat like this!”
Xander took off the phone indifferently and said, “I’ll tell Mom.”
Laura was startled and clasped his hand to plead for mercy, “Xander! I promised I wouldn’t eat it again!”
Xander looked at her seriously and said, “Is a guarantee useful?”
Laura pouted, “How do you know if you don’t try? Please!”
She shook his arm and said, “Xander!”
Xander choked, and his ears were faintly pink. He was disappointed she couldn’t make it, “Does acting like a spoiled girl work?”
She said childishly, “How can I know if I don’t try?”
Xander took back the phone, “Forget it. You won’t dare to do it again.”
Zayn’s expression was even indifferent. “It’s okay not to tell your mother, but you can’t get through with us. You are treating yourself like this, right?”
Laura was shocked.
She was doomed.
Zayn was pissed off.
Louis stood up, unable to bear listening to it any longer. “It’s not her fault! I let her do so!”
The four boys were stunned and turned to look at him.

He straightened his chest as if he was willing to be scolded, “I bought the ice cream. I thought it would be fine for her to eat it. Don’t blame her!”
Zayn’s eyes instantly filled with anger, “Are you sure it was you who did this, not protecting Laura?”
Louis directly showed them the reimbursement, “This is the money I transferred to the driver.”
The boys‘ faces darkened instantly.
Zayn narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Are you trying to abuse her?”
Louis was speechless, “Of course not! I wanted Laura to keep my secret, so I bribed her with ice cream. I didn’t know that children can’t eat so much ice cream!”
Laura sighed and said helplessly, “Louis, it’s my fault. I was greedy.”
Louis looked at her seriously and said, “No, it’s my fault. I will never make excuses for myself. Fortunately, you didn’t tell your Mommy Winnie. If your mom knew about this, she would probably kill me.”
He took out his phone and said gloomily, “So, I just bought you a dress to express my apology. There is only one piece of this dress in Hestrya. It will be delivered to your home soon. Look!”
He showed Laura a picture of the dress.
It was a lilac lolita–style princess dress.
