Hellbents
Chapter 155: Behind the Scenes
"Be careful if you get caught!"
Of course if a child's body is hit it will leave a mark. If he's so afraid he won't show a new bruise on Ava's stomach, why hit him instead?
Ava can't follow adult logic. The girl then glanced beside him, ignoring the mischievous children who liked to prank, Lexa did not dare to be touched by the staff because her body was already weak from the start, but in return Alex curled up in pain because he was kicked more. Ava and Alex stared at each other, then nodded.
Dinner later, they'll secretly mix bleach into the staff.
It's not their fault if a stray cat decides to defecate in an orphanage's yard, but why are they being scolded when the staff at the parlor are told to clean it up?
Adults are unreliable.
"What look-look?!" Clearly, no one liked the revolting radiance in Ava's eyes.
Plaque!
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
"Look at him, his behavior was left even more insolent!"
"I told you not to hit where it looks obvious!"
"Curtain!" The girl's t-shirt was pulled, Ava's face and the staff who had just slapped her were so close that the pores of the skin were visible if Ava had been slightly focused. "If asked, just say you fell off the Akh-laden!"
He could not help but bite his nose in front of him. "Pick up!"
"Hey, off!"
Ava's body was pulled again, this time away. But the boy who was still upset was not willing to let go of his bite. "Full! Heself!" loud screams.
"Don't be noisy!"
"Take this boy off!"
Ava can taste the blood on her tongue. "Aw! Aw! Aw!"
"What's this commotion?"
Huh huh? Did they think that bringing in the highest-ranking person here would make Ava shrink? Nah!
But on the contrary, the three staff who were bothering them from earlier were the ones who were silent instead, not daring to speak.
"I won't repeat my question." With both arms hipped, Sven raised his chin high, looking arrogantly at anyone who was clandestinely disobeying.
Ava's chin is poked, Lexa codes with her eyes to immediately break free. Once, the girl's feet looked safe on the ground with the corners of the lips bleeding, definitely not her blood, Lexa broke the silent tension in the backyard of the parlour. "They mistreated us, sir." Ava appointed.
The girl's mouth shriveled, disliking the respectful nickname addressed to the leader of the evil staffs.
But Sven quickly believed. The former slap on the cheek as well as a small child who was still curled up on the ground were already strong evidence.
"Three of you, to my office!" The director's grandfather left them with wide strides and a frenzied breath. The staff are caught, pushing and blaming each other, but in the end they follow the old man, of course after glaring at Ava, Alex, and Lexa desperately.
"Gig!"

The next day, the children of the orphanage were interviewed one by one. Many cried before being forced into the office of the new director.
When her turn came, Ava immediately showed blue and purple circles on her stomach and back due to yesterday's incident, according to Lexa's instructions.
The triumvirate finally cheered in excitement as the evil staff were no longer allowed to approach the orphanage building.
Lexa said they were fired.
"Finally, there's a pretty normal adult here."
"meaning?"
"The director's grandfather, he pityes us."
Pity, huh? Ava read it in a book. The other name is "sympathy", right?
