Chapter 48 I’ll Always Protect You
The child’s voice was innocent, full of trust and hope.
Nathan looked at the pitiful pair–one big, one small–and couldn’t bring himself to reject them. He didn’t want to. Especially since something so vile had truly enraged him. If he hadn’t come to the school today, who knows how long Emma would’ve been bullied?
He lifted his lips and let out a cool “mm“: “Everyone who’s bullied you will get what they deserve. That teacher’s punishment…. honestly, too light.
Emma had complete faith in him. Her face lit up with a smile. “Love you, Future Daddy! As long as you’re here, I’m not scared of anything!”
Rebecca watched her daughter’s smile and finally realized her child needed a father. That solid, towering sense of safety was something a mother simply couldn’t provide alone.
She pressed her lips together, wiped her tears away, and looked to Nathan. “Nathan, can you take us to the hospital first, and then the police station?”
Nathan frowned, and after a pause, understood what she meant. “There’s no need. I’ll handle it.”
Rebecca shook her head. “No. You can’t protect us forever. I have to give my daughter her own sense of safety”
Her voice was firm, her eyes unwavering.
Nathan had the sudden urge to tell her he could.
But just as the words reached the tip of his tongue, he realized what that would mean.
Some things, once spoken, would last a lifetime.
An hour later, Rebecca took Emma for a full medical check–up. Then, with Nathan escorting them, they arrived at the police
station
The officer was incensed when he heard what had happened. “Young lady, whether it’s your mommy or us police, we’ll always protect you Carclang bad guys is our jobs. So if anything happens, come to us right away, alright?”
Emma blinked and asked curiously, “Like Captain Feline?”
Her innocent question made the officer laugh. “That’s right. Even better than Captain Feline”
He rulled her hair, then looked at Rebecca “Miss, which kindergarten is it?”
Rebecca answered truthfully, “Colors Kindergarten”
At that, the officer’s expression changed slightly. Colors Kindergarten? That big–name place? This might be tricky
Rebecca noticed the hesitation. She knew this would be difficult–after all, she’d picked Colors because of its national reputation and clite branding. She’d even spent extra money to get Emma in:
But that made it all the more important not to back down.
She smiled and turned to Emuna “Emuna, being an officer is a sacred job. If he says he’ll protect you, then he will. And I’ve already posted about thus on social media and other platforms. I believe more people like him will pay attention and help protect every child being bullied. We have to stand for justice, defeat the bad guys and never give in to them. Got it?”
Emma didn’t fully understand–but the look in her mom’s eyes filled her with confidence. She nodded. “Mm–hmun Enima gets at Thank you?”
The officer let out an awkward laugh–her words hit hard

Rebecca came out holding Emma’s hand. She immediately met Nathan’s deep, sea–dark eyes–so captivating, like they could
Her hand unconsciously tightened around Emma’s as she walked over.

Just as the firbed speaking, her phone rang. It was Sebastian,
“Hello! Mr. Sebatian? Oh.. okay I’m at the police station right now. Mm.”

Marcus was surprised too. “Emma? Why are you
Future Daddy brought me You look so handsome today, You’re like a superstar!”
“What’s a superstar supposed to be?”
“It means someone really, really good–looking! How can you not know that?”
That childish nonsense? I don’t need to know stuff like that. Just like you don’t know what QC stands for.”
“Oh….
The two little kids went back and forth, bickering adorably. Standing side–by–side, they were irresistibly cute.
Finished
It was the first time Rebecca had seen her two children standing together like that. Her heart was full of warmth. She couldn’t help pulling out her phone and snapping a few pictures.
Just then, Caleb suddenly said from the side, “Whose little girl is that? She looks quite a bit like Marcus. Standing together like this–they look like a pair of twins.”
