“Hey, Grace…” Lina was confused.

“Grace has talked to the child before. She seems to care about him,” said Kyla.

“Speaking of which, Grace was pregnant with three children and one of them is still missing. I wonder how they’re doing? Maybe it’s because of empathy that she cares about this child,” said Lina.

Kyla said, “Maybe. If only Grace could find her child sooner. I wonder where that child is and how they’re doing now.”

She was a mother herself and knew how important a child was to a mother. She would probably be devastated if Nelson were separated from her one day.

“We’ll find them. If even a family like the Reed family can’t find the child, I’m afraid there won’t be many people in the world who can,” Lina said optimistically.

Grace had now walked up to Mason. She approached him, but what she saw shocked her even more.

The little one’s skin was bruised, and his beautiful face was also slightly swollen. Grace could imagine how much more swollen his injuries were a few days ago.

“Does it hurt?” Grace crouched down and looked straight at the child in front of her.

Although Mason’s face was still swollen, his beautiful eyes were staring at the school gate in front of him as though he had not heard Grace’s question.

All he cared about was when his sister would be out of school and when he could see her. He did not care about the rest.

Grace raised her hand to touch one of his bruises, but the little one warily avoided her hand.

“I only want to check your bruises. I mean no harm!” Grace said quickly.

The little one stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, “I don’t like you touching me!”

“Then… Shall I take you to the hospital and let the doctor take a look at your bruises? It’ll stop hurting after the doctor treats you,” she said.

ignore Grace.

The little one exuded some resistance and alienation. Grace could do nothing about it.

Just then, Lina also walked over. She was surprised to see the little one’s bruises as well. “Gosh, his parents are really ruthless to hit such a small child.”

Then, Lina bent down and smiled gently at the little one. “Hello, I heard your name is Mason. I’m Aunt Lina, a friend of the store owner over there!”

Unfortunately, the little one completely ignored Lina’s gentle smile. Those beautiful eyes of his were just stubbornly staring at the school gate.

“Why is this child so weird?” Lina whispered to Grace.

“It’s how he is. It probably has something to do with how he grew up,” said Grace.

“You’re right,” said Lina.

Then, more and more parents began to wait at the school gate to pick up their children. At that moment, the school gate opened and the students were let out.

When the quiet little one saw the figure he was expecting, a smile instantly appeared on his expressionless face. Although the smile was faint, it was still a smile.

The little one rushed to the little girl who had a bag on her back.

Lina was surprised. “What a huge change!”

“The siblings are really close,” said Grace before walking up to the little girl. “Hello, we’ve met before. My name is Grace, and you can call me aunt Cummins. I’m a friend of the owner of the store over there. Your brother has a lot of bruises. Can I bring him to the hospital to get treated by a doctor?”

Veronica Barlow raised her chin slightly to look at Grace. She remembered her. Besides, every student in this school was familiar with the store owner because they often went there to buy snacks to eat after school.

“You don’t want your brother to be in pain, do you? Besides, some bruises can turn into something major if they’re not treated in time.” Grace continued to persuade the little girl.

She knew that Mason listened to the little girl very much.

“Why do you want to bring Mason to see a doctor?” asked Veronica Barlow.

Although she was only seven years old, she was noticeably more precocious than other children. There was wariness and vigilance in her eyes when she looked at Grace.

She knew more about self-protection because of what she had faced in life and was not ignorant like regular children her age.

“Because my child is about Mason’s age. I can’t help wanting to help Mason when I see that he’s hurt. Plus, it’s not a difficult task to bring Mason to a doctor,” said Grace. She spoke flatly, showing that she had no other intention.

The little girl was momentarily silent before turning around to look at the little boy who had been following her. It was as if she was hesitating about something.

The little boy said, “Sis, it doesn’t hurt.”

“Even if it doesn’t hurt, you’re still wounded. Aren’t you limping around?” said the little girl before looking up and saying to Grace, “aunt Cummins, just give me a minute. I’ll be right back. to accompany Mason to the hospital with you.”

With that said, she spoke to the boy and told him to wait for her at the store’s entrance.

“Ci, be a good boy. I’m just going to put my bag away. I’ll be right back for you!” The little girl stroked the boy’s head to comfort him.

Then, the little boy let go a little reluctantly.

The little girl then ran in the other direction and was soon out of sight.

Lina said to Grace, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital later.

I have a car, so it’s more convenient. Besides, I have nothing else to do today.”

Grace thought about it and said, “Thank you.”

“These siblings are an interesting case. The boy was beaten up so badly. I heard from Kyla that they never even went to the hospital. How pitiful,” said Lina. However, she deliberately lowered her voice when she said this, lest the little boy heard her.

She felt sorry for the siblings after learning about them from Kyla. Lina was an only child with no brothers and sisters, so she envied how close they were.

The little boy listened to his sister and stood as still as a statue at the store’s entrance.

Grace narrowed her eyes and stared at the little one. For some reason, the little one felt familiar.

It was as if she had seen him somewhere.

‘Is it because the child is beautiful? Isn’t there a saying that beautiful people are alike?’

“What’s the matter? Why do you keep staring at that child?” asked Lina.

“I just think the family that adopted him is a little strange. They adopted a boy when they already had a son of their own. And it doesn’t seem like they adopted him because they like him,” said Grace.

After all, if they loved the boy, they would not have hit him until they broke a cane.

“Who knows? There are all sorts of weird people these days. I’ve also heard that some people adopt children with certain birth dates to ward off evil spirits for their families,” said Lina as she curled her lips.

Grace pressed her lips together, seemingly thinking of something.

Just then, the little girl ran back. This time, without a bag but a small crossbody pouch. She took the boy’s hand and said to Grace, “aunt Cummins, I’m ready to accompany Ci to the hospital.”

Grace smiled. “Okay, let’s go.”

Lina shrugged and drove the car over. They got in the car, and Grace asked the little girl, “Did you tell your parents?”

“I left a note,” said Veronica Barlow. However, she knew that there was no point in leaving a note. Even if she and Ci were gone for one night, her father would not care-let alone her stepmother.
