NovelEnglishChapter 794 Steven and Stephanie successfully entered Ashton and Xan's class under the guidance of the school staff.
Xan had apparently ranked last in the entire school and wasn't technically qualified to get into Class Alpha. However, Michael donated a library to the school, and with Ashton's exceptional grades, the school allowed her to get into Class Alpha.
"Daddy! Mommy!" The children started to call for their parents happily as soon as Steven and Stephanie entered the classroom.
Ashton was the only one sitting upright like a mini adult while Xan sat casually by his side. She remained lost in her own world as she doodled on a paper.
"That's the first place in our class, and beside him is a dimwit who can't speak. We all think she's mute!" Sof the students were badmouthing Xan and Ashton behind their backs.

They weren't at all worried that Ashton and Xan might be bullied in school. In fact, they were worried about the opposite. After all, Ashton's and Xan's hearing were even more sensitive than their own.
As expected, a scream was heard when a chair broke. The student who had bad-mouthed Xan fell to the ground and cried.
Stephanie looked at Ashton in shock. "Did you do it?" He played dumb and replied, "What are you talking about, Mom?" Stephanie glanced at Steven. She did not even see when Ashton had done it. That inexplicable sense of fear started spreading once again.
"Tellthe truth, are you the one who broke your classmate's chair? When did you do it?" she asked stubbornly. Her emotions were getting slightly out of control.
Ashton stared at Stephanie defiantly. Sometimes, he seemed more similar to her while Xan was more like Steven. Upon sensing the tense situation between the two, Steven hurriedly reached out for Stephanie's hand. "We're still in the classroom, Stephie. Maybe it's not Ashton's fault. We've been sitting here, and he didn't move at all." Ashton's eyes were rimmed red as he huffed in an aggrieved manner. Stephanie calmed herself down, feeling somewhat guilty.
Had she wrongfully accused him? She had been wary of Xan and him after having that dream.
"I'm sorry," Stephanie softly said.
Steven stared at her in shock, surprised to find her admitting to her mistake.
Ashton was equally stunned. He looked up at her and said after a while, "He always talks bad about Xan, Mom. Dad toldI had to protect her, so I did something to his chair in advance.
"Considering his weight and the positions I cut, he'd only fall to the ground in shock and wouldn't sustain any injuries." Stephanie was taken aback as she looked at him.
Ashton was indeed brilliant, and his intelligence was rather intimidating. It was as if he had absorbed all of Steven's and her smarts.

However, she wondered if they could prevent tragedies from happening if they were to properly guide him and channel his smarts in the right way.
"I'm sorry, Ashton. I overreacted, thinking that you might've hurt your classmate, but your intentions were e good, you did it to protect xan, and you didn't cross any lines. You're definitely better than me," Stephanie said with a smile.
This was the first tshe had genuinely smiled since they got back days ago.
Steven looked at them and smiled, finding one's family to be the best remedy.
If the old Stephanie's soul were an incomplete defect, the current m Stephanie was gradually healing from it. "For you, Mom." Xan finally finished her drawing and handed it to Stephanie.
It was a drawing of the four of them under the sun. They were running along with Stevie in the field.
