Chapter 1576

Alison was already perched on the edge of the railing, like she was about to jump over it, as she spoke.

"Stop!" Ivy shouted.

"If you end your life like this, you won't get another shot at being human!"

Calvin arrived in a hurry, just in time to catch Ivy's words.

"Why?" Alison turned around, fear in her eyes.

"Didn't you ever read the Bible?" Ivy asked.

Alison was isolated by her mother, forbidden to play with other kids, which made her an introvert and clueless about the Bible.

"The Bible says that life is a gift from God, sacred and precious. We can't just throw it away" Ivy explained solemnly.

Ivy was frantic.

Once Ivy finished, Alison's legs gave way. She fell to the ground, burying her head in her knees, crying out, "I didn't want to do this, but what am I supposed to do? If I don't do as my mom says, she'll hit me when I get home!"

"Does she hit you often?" Ivy slowly approached Alison.

Seeing that Alison seemed to have given up on the idea of jumping, Ivy sat down next to her.

Alison didn't answer, but rolled up her sleeves.

Ivy had heard other kids mocking Alison before, for wearing long sleeves in such hot weather. It was odd.

Now, she finally understood why Alison wore long sleeves: Her slender arms were covered in scars.

Calvin took one look.

He instantly recognized that some of the old injuries were from being hit with a stick. There were also fresh pinch marks on her arms, seemingly made that day.

"Did your mom do all these?" Calvin asked angrily.

He already had a fierce look.

Now, with his anger, his expression was even more ferocious.

Alison lowered her head in fear, then nodded.

"Your mom's such a heartless bitch!"

*Calvin, you can only cuss once. You can't swear too much in front of a child," Ivy said sternly.

Calvin was furning.

"Your mom's like that, you don't have to consider her as your mother! Ditch her, I've got money, I can support your studies. I won't demand for good grades, being happy is most important! Isn't that right, kiddo?"

Alison looked at Calvin.

Then she lowered her head again, beginning with a soft whimper, then her shoulders started shaking violently, and her crying got louder

No one cared about her, her family didn't love her, and her classmates thought she was a loner.

She was always worried that people were laughing at her,

This was the first time someone had said these words to her.

After a while, several teachers and the principal rushed to the rooftop

"Alison!"

The principal's voice had gotten shrill

"Sir, we were just chatting, nothing else happened, Ivy said worriedly, afraid that Alison's actions would get her expelled.

The principal had run so fast that hus wig was askew
