I Will Not Do It Again
“No. Of course not. We’reing,” yton and Franklin chorused.
Pressing her lips into a line, Natalie continued, “Thene out with me.”
The kids bit their lips and exchanged a nce before finally following Natalie out of the room.
Xavian and Sophia nced at each other, worried that Natalie would find out about yton’s injury.
Despite their worries, however, they couldn’t do anything about it. They hoped yton could face
everything Natalie threw at him.
yton and Franklin followed Natalie to the study quietly.
She took a seat with her legs crossed and looked at the boys.
“Do any of you have anything to tell me?” Natalie wanted them to confess and owe up to it instead of
forcing their confession.
“No,” they both answered.
She frowned at their denial. It was within her expectation that they would deny it.
She didn’t know why they still wouldn’t confess when they had already guessed that she had found out
about it. It seemed that they were still holding on to a tiny sliver of hope that she hadn’t found out as
long as she didn’t bring it up with them.
Natalie got up from her chair and stepped in front of them.
“I’m not someone that likes to interrogate. I know the two of you are young and have your secrets, but
you’re my sons. You can’t hide something as serious as an injury from me,” she said with a grave tone
as she met their gazes.
“Hiding your injuries from me won’t relieve any of my worries. It’ll just make them worse. I don’t like nor
care for white lies, especially when ites to your health and safety.”
They are my flesh and blood. I don’t mind getting hurt if it can spare them from the pain.
Franklin and yton exchanged a nce as a pang of guilt hit them at her words.
In the end, Franklin conceded after catching the sincerity in his mother’s eyes. “Mommy, it was yton.
His arm got burned. Since the truth is out now, can you look at his injury and treat it with more suitable
medicine?”
“You—” yton didn’t think that Franklin would let the cat out of the bag so easily.
“yton, Mommy is right.” Franklin lowered his head and said, “Hiding your injury got us all worried.
The injury on your arm is quite severe. I know Sophia has treated it, but she’s inexperienced. You need
help from a professional.”
“yton…”
“Mommy, I…” yton hung his head with guilt, not daring to meet Natalie’s gaze.

“Franklin, I have something to speak with yton privately, so I need you to leave the room. Don’t
worry. I’ll treat himter,” Natalie instructed.
“Okay.” Franklin nodded as he whirled around to leave the study.
Soon, only Natalie and yton remained in the study.
“Remove your coat and roll up your sleeve.”
yton knew there was no point in hiding his injury any longer, so he obedientlyplied and rolled
up his sleeve, revealing the full extent of his injury.
His previous fair, smooth arm was now covered with burn scars and spots.
Natalie’s heart clenched at the sight.
“yton, you’re all grown up now, is that it? How could you hide such a serious injury from me?”
Natalie scolded with reddened eyes.
yton merely stayed quiet.
After a long silence, he finally lifted his head slowly and looked at Natalie guiltily.
“Mommy, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.” Tears filled his eyes. “My injuries were not that bad, but the scars
were too ugly and scary. I didn’t want you to get upset, so I thought I’d hide it from you till it got better. I
figured you won’t feel so upset when you see it then.”
