Sandra took Bobby to the hospital . She thought this couldnt be kept a secret ; she had to tell Elijah . Before Elijah arrived , Sandra glanced at Bobby , who was with the doctor , then checked her reflection in the mirror . She quickly walked over to the stairwell and slapped her own face until it swelled . When Elijah arrived , she immediately stood up from the bench , tears falling down her face . Clark , Im so sorry . Its all my fault . Bobby was upset at school today and didnt want me to pick him up . He hit me and even bit me . I … I didnt control my strength , and instinctively pushed him . I never meant to hurt him like this … Its all my fault … Mr. Clark , please punish me , she said . Elijah looked at her swollen cheek and didnt know what to say . You can go now . Ill take care of things here . Clark , can I stay just a little longer ? I cant stop worrying about Bobby . I swear , I didnt mean to hurt him . If I could turn back time , Id rather have lost a tooth myself than let this happen to him . Elijah felt frustrated . Lately , Bobby had been getting into trouble again and again . When Willow was at home , he didnt need to worry about Bobby . But now , in less than a month , the kid had already been to the hospital several times . Stay , then . Maddie arrived right after Elijah . She immediately saw Bobby , his front tooth knocked out , his nose and mouth both bleeding . Her face tightened with concern . How did this happen ? Bobby didnt answer , his head down , looking defeated and pitiful . Elijah picked him up and told Maddie to bring the medication the doctor had prescribed . When Sandra saw them coming out , she rushed over . Bobby , Im so sorry . I didnt mean it . Bobby turned his head , burying his face in Elijahs neck , refusing to acknowledge her . Sandra sighed . How about you hit me a couple more times to get your frustration out , okay ? Elijah spoke up at this . Bobby , its wrong to hit people . 1/3 13:09 Tue , 11 Mar Chapter 20 Bobby bit his lip , feeling deeply wronged . Elijah glanced at Sandra . You can go now . Sandra nodded . This was her defeat . Shed wait for a few days until Elijah and Bobby had calmed down , then try to make amends . Sandra left . Elijah suddenly remembered something and asked Maddie . Did you call Willow the other day ? Yes , I asked her for the cookie recipe . Elijah thought for a moment and then turned to Bobby . Would you like your mom to come back and stay with you ? Bobby hugged Elijahs neck tightly and whispered , Moms been mad at me for so long . She hasnt even come to see me … Elijah comforted him . Its her fault . Bobby muttered , She needs to apologize . Maddie , who was standing by , looked confused . Elijah patted Bobbys back . Okay , Ill make sure she apologizes to you . Upon hearing this , Bobby finally relented . Then let her come back . Maddie was left speechless . Elijah turned to Maddie . Tell Willow that Bobby was hurt . Then he changed his mind . Forget it , give me your phone . Ill tell her myself . Maddie thought to herself , Honestly , I think it would be better if I just did it for you . During a work break , Willow saw a message from Maddie . Maddie : [ Willow , this is Elijah . Bobby was injured today , his tooth got knocked out . ] The implication was clear : you should be here with the child , taking care of him . Before Willow could figure out how to respond , the phone rang . She answered the call . 2/3 13:09 Tue , 11 Mar Chapter 20 Although the message had come from Maddie , it was Elijahs voice on the other end . Did you see the message ? I saw it . Then why didnt you reply ? Willow , where have you been these days ? Out with Freya , messing around ? Willow pinched the bridge of her nose , feeling a headache coming on . Elijah , do I need to remind you what you said when we signed the divorce agreement ? You said after the divorce , I wont allow you to visit Bobby , not even once . The line went quiet for a long time . Long enough that Willow almost hung up , but then she heard Elijah laugh , frustrated . Willow , I never realized you could be so … capable . Really ? Maybe my capability is still to come . Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
