Larry cried out in pain and fell to his knees, his calf quickly bleeding in a serious-looking manner.
But he didn't cry, as if he were used to this treatment.
On the other hand, Olive was shocked but didn't dare help her son up.
"Cole, did Larry do something wrong?"
Cole rolled up the whip, his voice icy.
"The teachers at school said he’s busy learning Taekwondo instead of focusing on his studies. He's wasting time on useless things!"
As he spoke, his belt came down again.
Olive was heartbroken and knew pleading was useless, so she hurriedly questioned her son.
"What are you learning Taekwondo at school for?"
Larry blinked back tears.
"I can protect Mommy if I learn Taekwondo, and those people won't look down on her anymore..."
Olive was taken aback, tears filling her eyes.
She pleaded with Cole, "Larry is still young. Please, for the sake of his good intentions, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Only then did Cole put away the belt.
