Chapter 18

“Who?” Leon kept his mouth shut. But even if he didn’t answer, Pia had already guessed. This is Henry Dale’s work. 100% sure child abuse was taking place in this mansion. “Teacher.” Then Leon whispered in a very low voice. A voice that was very careful about who would only hear it “Why?” “teacher. I want to grow taller.” “You will definitely grow later.” “I want to get stronger… and grow up quickly. I want to go out here as an adult.” Pia’s heart pounded at those words.

‘Maybe this kid wants to run away from this mansion too and wants to run away from abuse…. When I thought of that, my eyes became all red. I wonder how painful it was to be thinking like this. “You will grow up quickly.” “teacher. I want to drink milk.” “What?” Pia doubted her ears.

“You must not drink milk. You have an allergy.” “I have never drank it.” “What?” “I have never tried. No one gives me milk.” “Are you sure you don’t have any allergies?” How do you know you have an allergy if you haven’t tried it?’ Once I started to doubt, everything became suspicious. Not to go out of the house, to put the child to bed at 9 o’clock, allergic to flowers, and the ban on eating animal products all became suspicious.

‘Mr. Dale is abusing this child. It’s clear that he’s depriving the child the food he needs. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you give the child milk and meat?’ It was weird from the start. The child, who was supposed to eat well and grow well, had poor complexion, poor development, and frizzy hair. Besides, it was too small and scrawny. Does it make sense to not eat meat, milk, butter, cheese, even fish because of allergies? Besides, the child has never eaten it at all. This was clearly abuse. “Then I’ll give it to you secretly.” “Really?”

“Then try to avoid Lindsay’s eyes over dinner and I’ll give it to you. You must not tell anyone that you drank it. Understand?” “Yes, teacher.” Seeing Leon happy with his cheeks dyed red, Pia felt a strange sense of anxiety. Former tutors must have noticed this too or not, or maybe he noticed it and got cut off trying to do something. I could be fired if someone found out that I was doing this secretly too. Money is not the problem, but if she leaves this mansion after being fired, who will help this child? ‘You must never be caught, secretly, let’s find a way so that we won’t be noticed.’
