"What... What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaking.
"Look, I understand that you may not like Cindy or everything about this situation... But leave the child out of this."
I gasped in disbelief. My eyes widened and my mouth stayed open in shock. I couldn't help but chortle.
"Wait... Are you trying to tell me that you're blaming me for this?"
"Yes," he retorted. "I am blaming you. What is wrong with you? I hate Cindy, yes but I will never be so careless! What if the child had died?! Do you even think for someone who claims to be intelligent? How could you leave a child unattended and have him almost swallowing something hazardous?!"
I slapped him
