Forced to Be Stepmom
The Return of Radit and Lathan

“Sorry? Find who?” Andra asked with a surprised look when she saw the person in front of the door whose clothes were clearly visible if

she is not a doctor or a nurse. She was just a young mother with a child

small with.

“Is this really the patient's room of a traffic accident victim this morning?” asked the woman with a little hesitation.

“True. Who are you?”.

Andra asked again in a calm manner.

“I .. can I meet them?” asked the woman again with her head bowed in doubt. Next to her hand held the hand of the little boy beside her trembling.

“Who are you?”.

Andra who did not get the answer asked back. If he had been polite and calm, Andra had started

looking at the woman with a cynical look.

“I ... My daughter who was the cause of their accident”.

The woman responded to Andra's question with her head bowed.

Andra was silent for a moment with a gloomy look

“Come in!”.

After a while Andra finally let the woman and her child go inside to meet with Radit and Lathan

Everyone in the room looked at the woman and the little boy with curious faces.

“Whose are you?”

Radit asked in a cold manner.

“I .. want to apologize. I was negligent while looking after my son until he ran to the streets and made you surprised to hit the pavement to avoid my son”.

The woman again explained with a bowed face full of regret.

Radit fell silent listening to the young woman's explanation.

“Do you still want your child?” radit asked in a cold manner

“Of course. There's no way I don't want my own son”

“If so you should really keep an eye on him. Because your negligence could have made your child lose their lives or maybe it was someone else who lost their lives like the accident we experienced this”.

Radit interrupted the mother before she finished speaking. It was obvious that she was so upset that the young mother was so busy herself that she did not keep an eye on her son running around the street.

“I know. So I apologize and I regret it. I will definitely be more careful when looking after my child”.

Radit looked at the face of the young mother who kept her head down without daring to look into Radit's eyes. As the young mother seemed to be regretful, Radit did not prolong the problem any longer and eventually forgave the woman.

“Good. I forgave you. Hopefully something like this does not happen again in the future and you can be more careful”

“Good. Thanks very much. Then I won't take any more of your time. Excuse me first. Thanks again

many”

The woman said goodbye politely and there was still a sense of regret on her face

“Yes. Please”

The woman turned around and left Radit's treatment room with her son.

“Huh. If it wasn't for fear of prosecution, I wouldn't want to apologize to them” muttered the woman after she came out of Radit's room.

“Why brother let him go just like that? He doesn't look very fond of his son. The proof when she took him was that he pulled his hand hard, not lead his son with more care”.

Andra grumbled in annoyance after seeing the woman who was the cause of the child and her husband's accident.

“Leave it. Lathan and I are fine. He also has good intentions to apologize. It would be his business if he ran away after crash”.

Radit responded to Andra with an indifferent tone. He knew that his wife was upset right now.

“So big brother course’

...****************...

A few days have passed.

“Are you ready to leave the hospital?”.

Leo asked Radit and Lathan.

“Yes, Pah. We're ready to go home. Some days in the hospital are boring. I think I could be sicker than before if I had been here for a long time.”.

Radit complained to Leo with a calm demeanor

“Cih, your body is big, but you complain like a child. Even your son is calmer than you”.

Leo snorted at Radit's attitude and compared him to Lathan.

“Papa don't say that. Papa at all. not at all do not defend your son this” said Radit who offended the father

“Stop arguing. We better get going now. Are there any items left behind?”.

Vio mediates a debate between Leo and Radit

“Nothing, mah. All already dkemas”.

Andra who held Vio up in a polite manner

“Alright, then we can go now. You can wait in the car while I take care of the administration for Radit and Lathan” Leo said in a calm manner filled with dignity.

“You want me to accompany?” ask Vio in a calm manner.

“No need. You can help Lathan here”.

Leo immediately turned away without waiting for a response from Vio.

“Kak Radit, can you walk alone?” andra asked as she helped Lathan prepare.

“Let Mama help Lathan, you can help your husband”.

“But, Mah”

“No papa, Mih. I'll walk with grandma. Mami help Papi ku”.

Lathan spoke with a cheerful smile

“What is not papa?” tanya Andra made sure to Lathan with a worried look

“Iya Mih's. I'm not papa”.

Andra then turned to Radit who then nodded her head at him

“Good. Mami will help papi and you will be helped with granny”.

They finally left the hospital.  The bandage on Radit's head had been removed and was wearing only a small amount of plaster on his forehead, but his hands were still cast. While Lathan only uses a little plaster in his hand.

Everyone stared at Vio, Radit, Andra and Lathan as they walked out of the hospital. But Radit and the others ignored everyone's gaze and walked out of the hospital anyway.

Shortly after they arrived in the car, Leo came after taking care of the Administration fee.

“Let's go home” Leo said before he started driving away from the hospital.

...****************...

Meanwhile, Lathan School.

The teachers were gathering in the teachers room during the school break.

“What is Lathan still not in?”  jane asked Lathan's friend.

"Not yet teacher. Looks like Lathan is sick" replied one of Lathan's friends.

"ill? Does anyone know what Lathan is sick of?".

Ms. Jane again asked who was returned to the head by Lathan's colleagues.

Is it okay, Lathan really got the mistreatment from her stepmother? It's not usual for him to skip like this without news.

Ms. Jane kept thinking about Lathan's condition and worrying about all the possibilities.

"Here it is. Better just keep an eye on him. After all, Lathan is smart and also she doesn't like it when other people interfere with her personal affairs. If I cross the line, then I will interfere. So for now we're just relaxed".

Ms. Jane talked to herself about the Lathan family's attitude. He must have strong evidence to bring the case to justice.
