Fortunately, the doctor’s examination showed that Ruby Cromwell was fine. She had fainted due to low blood sugar.

“What’s going on? How many days has she not been eating? She looks so weak.”

The doctor in the white coat frowned and said in a serious tone, “The child is growing up right now. She has consumed a lot of physical and mental energy. She needs to keep up with the nutrition.”

“She didn’t eat? This… Lauren, how was Ruby’s lunch at school?”

“Ruby ate very little. She kept saying that she couldn’t eat much,” said Lauren Torres.

She was embarrassed to say that Ruby Cromwell would always give the meat on her plate to her.

Lauren Torres had thought that Ruby Cromwell was really full, so she didn’t eat.

As the class teacher of the second senior class, Carina Bailey felt a little guilty that she didn’t notice Ruby Cromwell’s problems in time.

“Doctor, other than low blood sugar, is there anything else?”

“Not at the moment. The fainting this time was caused by low blood sugar. Just give her some glucose and have a good rest.”

“That’s good.”

The nurse was at the side, preparing to give Ruby Cromwell an IV drip.

Lauren Torres looked at Ruby Cromwell who was lying on the bed. The zipper of her jacket had been unzipped because the doctor had wanted to check on her earlier.

She tugged at Carina Bailey’s hand.

“Miss Bailey, you… you take a look at Ruby’s arm.”

Carina Bailey lowered her head and looked at Lauren Torres with a puzzle.

“Ruby’s arm? What happened to her arm?”

Lauren Torres pursed her lips and said, “I found a lot of wounds on Ruby’s arm these two days.”

“Wounds?”

Lauren Torres frowned and walked to the bedside. The doctor also followed closely behind.

“Was it caused by other children?”

Lauren Torres shook her head. “No. Every time Ruby came from her home in the morning, I saw a wound on her arm.”

“I was with Ruby all the time during class. The other children didn’t touch her.”

The school was very serious about wounds on the children.

The doctor and Carina Bailey quickly took off Ruby Cromwell’s jacket and found that there were indeed many wounds on her arm.

The wounds were big and small, deep and shallow. It was very shocking.

“How can this be? Lauren, you are usually close to Ruby. Do you know how these wounds came about? Did Ruby tell you?”
