Finally, when Veronica Barlow’s small figure walked out of the school gate, Mason ran toward her and threw himself into her arms.
Looking at Mason’s attachment to Veronica Barlow, Grace felt a little bitter. However, she still felt grateful to Veronica Barlow.
If it were not for the little girl protecting Mason with her tiny body, Mason’s life in the past two years would have been a lot worse.
Mason was probably so attached to Veronica Barlow because she truly cared about him.
“aunt Cummins, Uncle Reed.” After Veronica Barlow saw them, she asked a little timidly, “Are you… here to take Mason away?”
Mason hugged her even tighter when she asked that.
Grace said, “No, we’re just here to see Mason. Mason may be staying at your house for a while.”
Veronica Barlow instantly felt a burst of relief when she heard that.
Grace talked to Veronica Barlow again. Then, she insisted on sending Veronica Barlow and Mason back to the He family’s house. Jason naturally accompanied her while Archer Barlow and Rosalind Bush looked elated and smug.
If word got out that Jason and his wife had gone to their house, everyone would think highly of them!
Lina said to Grace, “I’m not going to the He family’s house. How are your hands? Did the doctor say when they would return to normal?”
“It’ll take about a year and a half to heal, but he said I should be able to carry light things in a week. After a month, I should be able to do simple things like typing and writing,” said Grace.
“That’s good.” Lina breathed a sigh of relief.
Grace said goodbye to Kyla before heading to the He family’s house.
Lina sat in the store and said to Kyla, “Grace was eager to meet her son as soon as she got discharged, but Mason…”
Kyla said, “He’s still young and unfamiliar with Grace. Maybe they’ll get closer after some time. I saw how that boy is attached to his sister. That means he’ll accept anyone who is truly kind to him.”
“I hope so,” said Lina.
The two chatted, and Nelson soon returned. Nelson Corbyn greeted Lina politely when he saw her.
“Why are your clothes so dirty? Did you fall?” asked Kyla.
“I accidentally fell,” said Nelson Corbyn.
“Your pants are torn.” Lina saw a hole in the knee of Nelson’s pants, which she thought was caused by the fall.
“Go change your pants. I’ll mend them,” said Kyla.
Nelson Corbyn responded and went to the room at the back to change his pants.
Lina looked at Nelson Corbyn’s tiny figure and frowned slightly. Then, she looked again at Kyla, who was busy with her store. Linal walked to the room at the back.
Nelson Corbyn was about to take off his pants. His face instantly turned red when he saw Lina.
Before he could speak, Lina took a step forward and asked, “Did you get into a fight?”
Nelson Corbyn’s expression stiffened when she asked that.
“Don’t lie. Your Aunt Lina used to fight almost every day when I was little and made my parents worry a lot. You’ve always been a cautious child. If you had really fallen, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. Here, here, and here… These are all signs of friction.” Lina pointed to a few spots on Nelson Corbyn’s clothes. She also grabbed Nelson’s pants legs and pulled them up, revealing several bruises on his calves.
Lina asked, “What’s going on?” Nelson was not a troublemaker. On the contrary, he was a quiet child who would not cause trouble. “Is someone bullying you at school?”
Nelson trembled slightly. Lina was right.
“Why are they bullying you?” asked Lina.
Nelson hesitated a little before saying, “Because I wear hearing aids. They say people like me should go to school for disabled people. They also said Mommy must have done something bad to give birth to a disabled child.”
Lina’s nose instantly felt sore when she heard this. She straightened up. “Who said this? I’ll talk to their parents!”
“Aunt Lina!” Nelson yanked Lina. “Don’t… Don’t go look for their parents. I don’t want Mommy to know about this.”
He knew his hearing disability was his mother’s sore spot. Every time she saw his hearing aid, his mother’s eyes would flash with guilt.
His mother kept saying he could not hear because she had taken fever medicine when she was pregnant.
However, he did not blame his mother at all. He thought his mother was the best! He did not want to see her sad.
He would not have fought today if those guys had not talked about his mother.
Lina saw Nelson’s nervousness and could not help sighing, “Okay, I won’t tell your mommy. If those people talk about you like that again, call me. I can talk to your teacher and we’ll see how we can stop this!”
Nelson obediently replied, “Thank you, Aunt Lina!”
Lina touched Nelson’s head. The child was so sensible that it made people feel sorry for him sometimes.
He was only nine years old but was already burdened with more hardships than other children his age.
Neither noticed Kyla at the door. She was leaning against the wall with tears welling in her eyes.
It had occurred to her that Nelson would be discriminated against for his hearing disability, but the boy had never mentioned it to her. Hence, she always a**umed that his cla**mates were not discriminating against him.
He could spend his schooling days healthily and happily while learning like ordinary children.
However, it seemed that it was wishful thinking after all.
‘He should have been a healthy child! He doesn’t deserve to be discriminated against.
‘I did this to him. It’s my fault…”
Kyla only felt her heart throbbing with fits of pain…
Grace and Jason came to the He family’s house. Archer Barlow and his wife wanted to inform all their neighbors.
However, due to Jason’s cold gaze, Archer Barlow and his wife dared not do anything.
Grace found that the He family had reorganized Mason’s room.
However, according to Veronica Barlow, Mason did not sleep in this room at night. Instead, he would come to her room and sleep with her.
“I like to sleep with Sis,” said Mason.
When Grace was ready to leave the He family’s house, Veronica Barlow could not help asking, “aunt Cummins, can Mason still be my brother?”
She knew that Mason would return to the Reed family one day. What she feared most was that Mason would no longer have. anything to do with her after he left the He family.
Mason still had the surname He, and he was her younger brother. She and Mason were sister and brother, not people who had nothing to do with each other.
“Sure,” said Grace as she glanced at the nearby couple who were pretending to be good parents. Then, her eyes fell on Veronica Barlow. “Veronica, have you thought about my suggestion? You can move to the Reed family’s house with Mason. The Reed family will cover all your living expenses and tuition fees. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
Veronica Barlow hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “My… daddy’s still here, and my mommy left me this house. I don’t want to leave it.”
There were memories of her mother in this house.
