Robert's face darkened.
"Herbert, tell Daddy what you saw."
Herbert gritted his teeth. "I didn't see anything."
"Ha…" Robert's smile disappeared. His eagle-like fierce and sharp eyes were on Herbert. Finally, he said darkly," Herbert, a lying child has to be punished. "
That evening, Herbert did not get to eat dinner. He was punished to kneel on an uneven stone. It was not until two in the morning that Robert allowed him to return to his room to rest.
When he returned to his room, Herbert did not even have the energy to complain. He was so tired that he fell asleep.
For the next few days after that, Herbert was honest and did everything according to the rules. Robert could not guess what he was doing. Even so, Robert would still stare at him with the strange gaze of someone looking at prey. In this atmosphere, Herbert could not concentrate in class and was listless when he went to and from school.
