Parental Qualification Certificate

Chapter 78

In 3018, the New Year's Day in 3019 arrived. Before New Year's Day, Jiwon moved back to her home.

Before leaving, she said to Lisa, "You should come over and see Rowoon! My family has not allowed Yuna to meet with him so Rowoon is very sad. Just comfort him and say that those things are not his fault."

"Okay." Lisa agreed to Jiwon, but she smiled bitterly in her heart.

How would she comfort Rowoon?

It is a fact that his mother did all the bad things; it is also true that Jiwon's family did not want to see him because of his mother; he was not a friend of Yuna because of his mother. These things are indeed not Rowoon's fault, but they have an inescapable impact on Rowoon's life.

She called Dr. Jeon, asked about the size of Rowoon's shoes, and found a good-selling children's shoe on the Internet. It was a New Year's gift for Rowoon.

On the second day of 3019, Lisa met Rowoon again in the children's amusement park where she met Lee Sunmi.

When seeing Lisa, Rowoon let go of his father's hand, rushed to hug her leg, and looked up to her and said, "Aunt Lili I miss you so much!"

"Aunt misses you too!" Lisa picked him up, smiled and nodded in appreciation.

"Rowoon weighs a lot. It seems that you eat well everyday?"

Rowoon smiled, nodded heavily, and said proudly, "Well, Rowoon is well behaved, not at all difficult to raise."

Lisa smiled and praised him, "Good boy!"

She had a hard time holding Rowoon, so she put him down, held his hand, and greeted Jeon Junhyung, "How are you doing recently?"

Junhyung looks a little shy. After listening to her question, he smiled slightly, "Not good. But compared to Wei'er and her family, It's not much.

Lisa couldn't help sighing, and could only say, "Take care of yourself and give Jiwon some time."

Junhyung nodded, his eyes gloomy, "I understand. I will wait for her decision."

Both were in a heavy mood and fell into silence.

Keeping his eye on them, Rowoon showed off his new shoes to Lisa vigorously, "Aunt Lili, look! Look!" He pointed to his shoes and said, "This is Gamma's favorite shoes! It's my New Year's gift from dad."

Glancing at his shoes, Lisa agreed that it was indeed the same pair of shoes that Gamma wore in Wandering All Stars.

She praised him and took out the shoes she bought for Rowoon to see if it fits.

Rowoon broke down happily, he was wearing the new shoes she bought and was running fast in front of them.

Lisa watched him run and said to Junhyung sitting next to her, "It seems that Rowoon has begun chasing that play."

Junhyung smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "I originally wanted to tell him this story first. But after he knew Yuna, Yuna took him to the drama theatre. Now, he is instead the one telling me the story."

After playing for a while, Rowoon ran back to Lisa and said, "I also prepared a gift for Aunt Lili." He urged his father to quickly take out the gift.

Junhyung took out a small wooden picture frame from his backpack, which was a children's picture. It depicts an adult woman pulling a barefoot boy out of a door.

Rowoon pointed at the two people on the painting and said, "This is Auntie Lili, this is Rowoon. This is Rowoon's painting. The picture frame my father bought with me is a gift for Auntie Lili."

Holding the frame in both hands, he solemnly handed it to Lisa, "Aunt Lili, thank you for helping me out. I didn't know that there was so much fun outside."

Lisa felt that the smile in Rowoon's eyes was extremely innocent.

"Thank you, Rowoon! Auntie likes this gift very much," she sincerely thanked him.

After playing for a while, Rowoon complained that he was thirsty and that he wants to drink chocolate, so he asked his father, Junhyung, to buy some for him.

When Junhyung went away, Rowoon sadly asked Lisa, "Aunt Lili, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what's up?"

"How can I have Aunt Jiwon to forgive my dad, and Yuna to forgive me?" Rowoon frowned, his eyes brimming with tears.

With a sigh, Lisa gently rubbed his soft hair, "Rowoon, there is nothing I can do about it. We can only wait for Aunt Jiwon and Yuna to make a decision."

"What if they refuse to forgive us?"

Lisa was silent for a moment, "There are two ways. First, you can make other friends. This is normal, so don't be embarrassed making new ones. Second, you can continue to wait until the day you are forgiven, or until the day you let them go. You can choose either or both of these two methods."

Rowoon was silent for a moment and said impatiently, "If I apologize for my mother, will they forgive me?"

"Rowoon, what your mother did doesn't require you to apologize for her."

"But they were all angry because of my mother. Yuna said that my mother was a very bad person, had done a lot of bad things and harmed Aunt Jiwon. She said she would never play with me again..." Rowoon finally cried out, "Aunt Lili, is my mother really so bad?"

Lisa could only hold him in her arms and silently comfort him. She couldn't say something to pretend that she was too peaceful to deceive him.

When they finally said goodbye, Lisa said to Junhyung, "Let Rowoon make one or two new friends as soon as possible. When he has new friends, the damage will not be so big."

Junhyung nodded, "Doctor Lee said the same thing, but there were no suitable children around me to introduce to him. Fortunately, Dr. Lee has agreed to let Rowoon go to an online school. I plan to register him after New Year's Day. Can you see him make new friends in the online school?"

Lisa nodded and said nothing more.

Rowoon has grown so isolated in the world that he mustn't yet venture into physical schools. Otherwise, he wouldn't understand what the teacher is talking about, what his classmates are talking about, and he has to face countless people every day without any social skills.

Such a huge and sudden change will make him confused and make him feel isolated and out of touch with others and it is very bad for him. By the same token, those children who are too skinny are not suitable to be introduced to him as friends.

Rowoon still doesn't understand what other children are playing, why they are making trouble, or laughing for any reason. Without an emotional foundation, another group of naive ignorance can easily arouse those children's desire to bully and tease him, which would be even worse for him.
