Chapter 36 Those Were Ten Lives
"That was ten students! Ten lives!"
"Let's see how Adeline is going to pay for it!"
"Call the police! Call the police and the fire department!"
"Please, God. Bless all these students!"
"It's too dangerous! Hope those kids won't fall off!"
......
More and more self-media rushed to the scene and started live broadcasting those children on the platform.
"A total of ten children, ten lives. What made them rush here to commit suicide?"
"What kind of teacher will force all these lovely children to kill themselves? I am Lewis Day. Please follow me, everyone. I will continue to share the high-definition live broadcasts on the spot with you."
......
Adeline looked at all those self-media reporters who were talking one after another, she was so angry. She grabbed the microphone of the nearest person and yelled at them.
"Shut up! I'm the in-charge here!"
"None of my students will die!"
"I believe in them!"
"They are positive-minded kids!"
"They won't kill themselves!"
"I repeat! My students will not kill themselves."
Adeline's voice was resounding and she looked determined. All the media who were present were silenced for a few seconds after being yelled at.
At the same time, Billy walked carefully to the position of the beast's head and looked at the people below.
"Ms. Burton, if they want to record, let them do it. I owe you an explanation and I owe you a justification."
"Billy..." Adeline looked up at him. She found a 10-year-old child who had grown up overnight.
Adeline suddenly felt distressed.
"You all are doing live broadcasting, right? Come on, shoot me. I am Mr. Baker's son, and my name is Billy Baker. If you like to do live broadcasting so much, then shoot me!"
After he finished speaking, Billy's mother and several other parents also arrived at the scene.
Seeing Billy standing on the high platform, Billy's mother was so frightened that she couldn't feel her legs.
She tried to calm down and coaxed him in a soft voice, "Billy, don't be too hard on yourself. I will listen to you, okay? Please be good and come down... Sob sob sob..."
In the latter part, Billy's mother broke down in tears.
Other parents of several students also coaxed their children not to be impulsive.
Billy smiled and said, "You all don't know us as well as Ms. Burton. We will not commit suicide. We just want to express our thoughts."
"Yes!"
"That's it!"
"Ms. Burton believes in us, and we won't do stupid things to disappoint her."
"Yes, we just want you all and those ignorant people on the Internet to listen to our voice."
......
Billy raised his hand, and several students fell silent.
He looked down at the cameras that were pointing at him one by one and said, "Let me go first. Ms. Burton, I like you very much."
"You are the best teacher I have ever met. You taught me a lot of interesting knowledge that I couldn't get in textbooks."
"I like mythological stories. I know there are some notes that you don't understand yourself. But whenever I ask you, you will try to search for a lot of information, take notes, and then share them with me. I really like you."
"You never laugh at what I like. You aren't like my parents who always complain about me reading useless books."
"But my mother doesn't like you. She said you have too little homework for us. She wants to drive you away."
"I saw that she incited other parents in the parent group to transfer you to another class. I was very sad, but I couldn't stop anything."
At the same time, Billy's mother, who only hoped that Billy was safe and sound, hurriedly voiced out, "Billy, I was wrong. As long as you come down, I will listen to you."
"No!" Billy refused, "I haven't finished talking yet. I'm sorry, Ms. Burton. I'm guilty. So, today I'm here to ask the Lathlaeril, who represents fairness and justice to forgive me."
After a pause, Billy continued.
"That day... I overheard a conversation between my father and an uncle. That uncle was Ms. Burton's brother."
"Ms. Burton's brother always wanted to give her away to my father. He gave my father a very bad idea. He suggested that as long my father has that kind of thing done to Ms. Burton in her home, even if Ms. Burton called the police, she couldn't explain why she invited the parents of the students to her house!"
"After my father found out that I was eavesdropping, he asked me if I liked Ms. Burton and if would I like to let her be my mother. At that time, I hesitated."
"Then, my father said, if he married Ms. Burton, I could have two mothers who loved me, and that Ms. Burton could also tell me many interesting stories at home. I nodded after that."
Billy's mother who was standing down there gritted her teeth angrily.
"You are such a bastard, Kevin! Why don't you go to die?"
At the same time, Billy who was on the high platform lowered his head, and his tear fell onto the ground.
"Ms. Burton, I'm sorry. After school that day, I actually wanted to tell you about my dad's conspiracy! But I hesitated for a long time, and I didn't tell you."
Adeline's eyes turned slightly red. She recalled the scene after school that day, where Billy did look for her and he hesitated. In the end, he ran away without saying anything.
Billy took a breath of snot and continued, "I feel terrible. Today, I saw my mother beating you in the corridor. I knew all the truth. I knew that my mother was instigating everyone to drive you out of Class A, but I didn't say anything."
"Ms. Burton, I'm so sorry. After finished school, I heard from other parents that everyone scolded you online, and some people even asked you to die. I'm very sad and guilty."
"I don't know how to clear your name. So, my classmates and I posted on the Internet. But those anti-fans were so crazy. They were able to overwrite our posts so quickly."
"So, we came to find Lathlaeril. I remember that Lathlaeril represents fairness and justice. Today, in front of my favorite Lathlaeril statue, I want to clear my teacher's name and ask for justice."
After Billy finished speaking, a girl who usually liked Adeline also spoke.
"Yes, Ms. Burton is a great teacher! We love Ms. Burton, and we don't want to change to other teachers!"
Right after that, other students spoke the same too.
"Ms. Burton is not the bad teacher that the parents say!"
"Yes, Ms. Burton is not a bad person! Ms. Burton has sacrificed a lot for us!"
"Ms. Burton also makes individual files for each of us, which record our strengths, learning advantages, and areas for improvement!"
"I like Ms. Burton!"
"Ms. Burton is our favorite teacher!"
"I don't want Ms. Burton to leave!"
......
Several children cried and spoke their minds.
At the same time, the netizens who were watching the live broadcast fell silent. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
At the scene, the sincere and affirmative voices of the children also made Adeline burst into tears instantly.
She pursed her lips and closed her eyes.
She felt that all her hard work was valued!
Soon after, the firefighters came with the air cushions. It was placed on the platform on the fourth floor to prevent the children from stepping on the air and falling when they came down from the ladder.
After everything was ready, Adeline looked at the ten students and began to call their names one by one.
"Billy Baker!"
"Yes!"
"Gabby Kelly"
"Yes!"
"Maria Harris"
"Yes!"
......
"Ten of you, come down now!" Adeline ordered with a teacher's stance, "Be careful! Make sure no one is left behind!"
"Roger that!"
The children responded loudly in unison, and after landing on the ground one after another, they all ran over and hugged Adeline.
"Ms. Burton, we don't want you to go."
With teary eyes, Adeline patted those children's heads.
All the self-media presented were faintly moved by this scene.
Many people took the initiative to come to Adeline to apologize.
"Ms. Burton, I'm sorry."
"Ms. Burton, it's our fault."
"Sorry."
......
After that, those children were brought home by their parents one after another. It was only Billy there and he was standing there and looking at Adeline.
"Ms. Burton, will you forgive me?"
