บททั้งหมดของ Tiny Body, Big Revenge: The Stepmother Gets Schooled: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

There were a bunch of colorful pill containers, but I couldn't recognize a single one of them.I looked left, then right, but none of them seemed to be painkillers.Ms. Woodard noticed my scrunched-up face and quickly asked with a smile, "Penny, dear, why are you digging through the medicine storage box?"Looking up at her, I asked, "Ms. Woodard, which one is the painkiller?"At my words, Ms. Woodard instantly tensed up. She hurriedly scooped me up from the floor, feeling my forehead and palms in concern."What's wrong, dear? Are you feeling unwell?"I shook my head meekly. "I'm not sick, but my daughter's birthday is today. I need to send her some painkillers!"Thinking that I was talking about one of my dolls, Ms. Woodard gently corrected me. "Sweetheart, we eat cake on birthdays, not painkillers."Hearing that, I smacked my head in sudden realization. Right! I shouldn't just be giving my daughter painkillers for her birthday. I should give her a cake and some candy, too.Th

My daughter continued, "Mom, you just have to be there for me every day and listen to what I have to say. That's all I need."My eyes grew hot as I suddenly realized how mature and thoughtful my daughter was."Okay. Then you can tell me anything from now on!"Suddenly, my phone buzzed. Looking at the incoming call from my daughter, I started feeling at a loss.If she knew I was only five years old, would she no longer let me be her mom?After much thought, I still chose to answer the call.On the other end of the line came the sound of rainwater pattering on the floor and a young lady's voice. "Hello. Thank you for agreeing to be there for me in my mom's place."Though I tried to deepen my voice, the sweet, high-pitched tone slipped out anyway. "That's what mommies are supposed to do!"Her voice trembled slightly. "Thank you. At the moment, you're the only one willing to keep me company besides Ollie."I tilted my head to one side. "Who's Ollie?""She's the cat my mom used to

"The top attorney of this country? The one who has never lost a case? Don't attorneys like that only work for the rich? Why would someone like that come to a dump like this?"The residents gathered around to watch the commotion, whispering in disbelief.Wiping away my tears, I puffed up my chest and stood by Abigail's side."Don't be scared, sweetheart. My mom and dad are amazing. They'll definitely protect you."I took Abigail's hand.Glancing at me, she squeezed my hand back. "Okay. I won't be scared."Mom smiled at us before turning back to the woman. "You must be Abigail Sanford's stepmother. Does her father know what you've done today? I don't mind getting our law firm to take you to court over this!"All of a sudden, the atmosphere felt suffocating, as if the air around us had just vanished.Abigail's stepmother's face was drained of color as she stared at Mom in disbelief."Ma'am, I know you have a kind heart, but this young lady is my daughter. How I discipline her is

Abigail sure was capable. In the following days, she took excellent care of herself and studied diligently every day. In her spare time, she even worked at the school cafeteria.She'd told me, "I got a job at the school cafeteria! The cafeteria lady said that from now on, I won't have to pay for meals there! This is great because I can save money to buy canned food for Ollie and buy candy for you!"I felt like crying as my heart ached for her. The very first thing she wanted to get with her earnings was things for me and Ollie. She really was a good daughter.Even though I badly wanted to eat the candy she bought me, I firmly shook my head. "I learned online that there will be many more things you'll need money for in the future! You should save the money. Then, when you ever feel like life is hard, you can use your savings to buy candy!"Though she promised she would do that, Abigail would still take out the candy in her pocket and slip it into my hand whenever we met.She was su

Abigail continued, "But I'm all grown up now, Dad. I can share your burdens. You don't have to put all the blame on yourself. I've also met a very important person. "Here, see. This is my little mom. She's been looking out for me, and these are her parents, who are incredible people!"Proudly lifting my chin, I said, "That's right. I've protected her well! And she even did well on her SATs!"Hearing this, the man grew emotional and lowered his head in a show of gratitude. "I really can't thank you enough."Looking at all the patches on the man's clothes, I felt bad for him all of a sudden. If Abigail's dad lived a hard life, wouldn't that mean Abigail would suffer with him later on?With that in mind, I hugged Dad's leg and pleaded, "Dad, with how amazing you are, you can help Abigail's dad find a job, right?"Before Dad could respond, the man instantly refused."I've saved up a bit of money working at sea these past few years. I plan to rent a small storefront nearby and sell
