Hathaway hung up the phone gratefully.
……
The next day, Pei Shixi arrived in Y on an early morning flight.
Upon arrival at the hotel, he heard about Cathleen and was at a loss as to what to say.
And on Hathaway’s side, an unexpected guest had arrived.
Hathaway looked at the man at the door with an unwelcome look on her face, “What are you doing here?”
The man looked to be around forty, a typical Viennese man, dressed in a suit and looking very gentlemanly.
He was Kathleen’s father, Hathaway’s ex-husband, Laurine.
“Why do you think I came and asked you to look after Cathleen and you watched Cathleen get taken to the police station, is there such a thing as a mother in you?”
Lauryn was angry and pushed Hathaway into the room, his handsome face grim.
Hathaway staggered two steps before she steadied herself.
She looked at the man in the room and said with a grimace, “Now that you’ve heard about this, then you know that Kathleen is to blame for this, you’re not welcome here, so get out.”
“If it wasn’t for Kathleen, you think I would come to you, and you want me to leave, you can, and have whatever student you have release Kathleen immediately.”
“No way!”
Hathaway refused without even thinking about it.
After all that had happened, she no longer had the face to beg Wen Shiyu to forgive Cathleen.
“It seems Cathleen is right, you no longer care about her as your daughter at all.”
Lauryn snorted coldly and said with a pinch of fire, “I’m not on to discuss with you today, I order you to bring Cathleen out of the police station immediately.”
Hathaway continued in the same vein, “Cathleen has done wrong and deserves to be punished as she deserves, I am not going to go to Tokiwa and let Cathleen go.”
“Hathaway!”
Lauryn was angry.
Soon the two men were arguing over the matter.
And all these things, Wen Shiyu didn’t know anything about it.
For the next two days, she was in the hospital taking care of Feng Shenye.
Feng Shenye recovered well from his wounds and his body did not show any other adverse reactions, so three days later, they were discharged from the hospital and went home.
At this time, Wen Shiyu was also finally able to return to the orchestra training without worry.
“Good morning, teacher.”
She looked at the teacher walking towards her and greeted him with a smile, then she noticed that he seemed to have a wound on his face and was a little stunned, “Your face, teacher?”
“I’m fine, how is your husband?”
Hathaway avoided answering the question about her own injuries and changed the subject.
Wen Shiyu could see that her teacher didn’t want to talk, so she didn’t pursue the matter and nodded, “My husband is out of hospital now, recuperating at home.”
“It’s good that he’s out of hospital, you go to the practice room.”
After speaking, Hathaway left straight away.
Wen Shiyu was about to go to the practice room when Mona leapt out from the side.
“Shiyu, you’re here.”
Wen Shiyu nodded, thinking of the injury on her teacher’s face, and enquired, “Mona, do you know what happened to the injury on her teacher’s face?”
“The headmistress was beaten by her ex-husband, supposedly because of Kathleen’s arrest.”
Mona came close to Wen Shiyu and whispered about what had happened in the orchestra in the past two days.
Wen Shiyu’s brow furrowed as she listened.
Just before she opened her mouth to say anything, Mona’s voice once again reminded her in her ear.
“You should be careful when you go in and out these days, this ex-husband of the headmaster is not to be messed with, he might come after you because of what happened to Kathleen.”
After hearing her friend’s words, Wen Shiyu blushed badly.
A man who even beat up a woman, that was too bad.
And who was to blame for what happened to Kathleen, which was her own fault in itself?
“Teacher, isn’t she even going to call the police?”
“It’s a family dispute, the police can’t do much about it.”
Mona knew what Wen Shiyu was worried about and persuaded, “Don’t worry, the headmaster will definitely have a solution, and you shouldn’t think too much about it, this matter has nothing to do with you no matter what, what’s important to us now is training.”
Wen Shiyu thought about it and agreed, so she put aside her distractions and concentrated on training with the band members.
