“Do you know what you’re doing?”

“Yes,” Kyla Corbyn replied dryly.

She even knew that what Martin Weiss said was probably just a casual remark. Even if she did what he wanted, he would still fight with her for Nelson’s custody.

It was just that she had no other choice, so even in such circumstances, she was going to place a bet.

It was because she had nothing to lose…

Martin Weiss’s pupils shrank immediately. He suddenly grabbed Kyla Corbyn again and pushed her out of the door. “Get out. Get out of here! Your body will only make me sick!”

The door slammed shut at the end of his sentence.

Kyla Corbyn gave a wry smile and looked at the closed door. She had only humiliated herself today. She had lost so much, and now, she could not even keep her only child,

She was afraid to fight either the wrongful conviction or the rustody case. She was afraid that if she did, the media would expose Nelson, and he would receive more unusual attention from others at such a young age.

Nelson was deaf and already being looked at and treated differently by many people. If… She dared not think about it.

Kyla Corbyn lowered her head and left gloomily, while Martin Weiss, who was in the hotel room, leaned against the door and smiled wryly at himself. “Haha… Hahaha…”

There was a perplexion in his laughter that he could not explain.

‘Why… does Kyla Corbyn still annoy me after all these years? Is the child’s custody so important? Is it so important that she would give up her body?’

He even felt heartache! The pain was… overwhelming him!

Lina also wanted to see Nelson after she learned Nelson was hospitalized, so the two came to the hospital together.

Nelson had already woken up, and Kyla Corbyn was beside the hospital bed.

When the little one saw Grace and Lina, a smile immediately appeared on his little face, but the smile instantly collapsed because it had pulled the wound on his face.

Seeing the little one’s bruised face and bandaged shin, Lina’s heart instantly broke.

“Does it hurt? How long does he have to stay in the hospital? What did the doctor say?”

“He should be able to leave in a few days. It’s just some superficial wounds. There’s no bone damage,” said Kyla Corbyn. Nelson had done some more tests this morning. Luckily, there was nothing serious, so she was slightly relieved.

“That’s good to hear,” said Lina as she took out the toy she had specially bought today to amuse the little one.

“Thanks, Aunt Sweeney,” said the little one. He seemed to like the toy.

Just then, Lina’s phone suddenly rang. She answered it, and it as a call from the hospital’s security guard. “Hello, are you the owner of XXX? Your car is parked in City First Hospital’s parking lot, but the alarm keeps going off. Please come and deal with it.”

“Ah. Okay, I’ll be right there!” said Lina. She said to Grace, “Grace, I’m going downstairs for a while. There seems to be something wrong with my car’s alarm system.”

“Okay,” answered Grace. Once Lina got out of the room, another nurse came and asked Kyla Corbyn to go see the doctor. As such, there was only Grace at the bedside.

After Kyla Corbyn walked out of the ward, Nelson suddenly lowered his head and stopped playing with the new toy in his hand.

“Why did you stop playing?” asked Grace.

Aunt, am a bad boy?” Nelson asked dully.

“What makes you think that?” Grace asked curiously.

“I got into a fight, and the hospital bill costs a lot of money. Mommy has to work really hard now to make money,” he said quiltily.

Grace touched the little one’s head. Nelson had always been more mature and sensible than other children his age, but due to him being deaf since childhood, he was also more served than other children.

Although he was also lively like other children sometimes, he was quiet and shy most of the time.

Besides, Grace more or less knew the reason why Nelson had fought with his cla**mates when she came to the hospital yesterday.

Grace said gently, “You fought for your mommy, didn’t you? You did it to stop others from saying bad things about her and to protect your mommy. It’s a good thing. It means you’re a sentimental kid, and you have someone you want to protect!”

The little one blinked his eyes and looked at Grace with some surprise.

Grace continued saying, “But we shouldn’t do things on impulse. We need to weigh our options and consider what we should do. For example, you’ll get hurt and get hospitalized if you fight, and it’ll make your mommy and grandmother sad, so next time, can you figure out a better way to solve the problem while protecting the people who are important to you?”

“What’s a better way?” asked the little one in his childlike.

voice. He only half-understood Grace’s words.

Grace had no idea what was a better way either. “Nelson, your can think about it, and I’ll think about it with you, okay? But member, no matter what happens, what you should do is to protect yourself because your loved ones will worry the most when you’re hurt!”

The little one gave a hard nod at that. “I’ll protect Mommy! I’ll protect Grandma, you, and Aunt Sweeney!”

“Yes. Nelson’s manly indeed,” Grace praised with a soft smile.

After a while, Lina returned to the ward and Grace asked, “Is the car okay?”

“It’s okay, but I’ll go to a repair shop later to have it checked. The alarm system has been going off two or three times. recently for no reason at all,” said Lina.

When Kyla Corbyn returned to the ward, the two talked with her for a while before leaving.

Once they were out of the ward, Lina could not help saying emotionally, “I never expected a kid like Nelson to get into a fight.” After all, in Lina’s opinion, the little one was the shy and quiet type. Sometimes, with a little teasing, the little one would usily turn red and appear shy.

“Even a rabbit will bite when provoked. Besides, Nelson fought for his mother. Although he’s usually clever, he’s not afraid to fight,” said Grace.

It was because she knew the boy was a strong hardworking boy. He had been deaf since childhood, and that made him more tolerant and patient than other children his age. Besides, he could speak fluently shortly after installing the hearing aid. He spoke better than many average children his age. Other than being intelligent, he was also hardworking.

Everything was fine when such people were calm, but once they exploded, they would be ruthless!

Grace figured the kids who fought with Nelson were no better.

“Yeah,” mumbled Lina.

The two arrived at the hospital entrance as they spoke and got into Lina’s car.

“I’ll send you home first,” said Lina.

“Okay,” replied Grace.

“By the way, what’s going on with you and Brian now? Are you really just friends?” Lina started to care about her best friend’s love life.

“Nothing’s going on, but… we’re not exactly friends either,” said Grace. Only in front of Lina could she say what was on her mind. “I know Brian’s interested in me, but I don’t want to spend my life with anyone. I’ve rejected him, but it doesn’t seem to work. Or maybe I should be harsher in rejecting him.”

“What do you mean you don’t want to spend your life with anyone? Are you going to sacrifice your whole life for Jason?” Lina curled her lips and said, “In my opinion, you should find another true love and piss Jason off.”

When Grace heard the name Jason again, her mind could not help but recall the figure she saw in Tianxiang Pavilion’s private room. The way he had looked at her was so cold that it gave people chills.

She no longer existed in his eyes, and he had let her go as she wished!

“Brian’s pretty good tool He has had many girlfriends, but! heard he seems to have never touched them, not even kissed them There seems to be an exposé questioning whether Brian is incopable’ and hos problems in that oreo, but the scandal was quickly suppressed?

Lina talked about the gossip she had discovered

Grace said, “I just think of him as a childhood friend who had gone through thick and thin with me.”

“That’s now. Who knows what will happen later? Can you guarantee that you won’t fall in love again for the rest of your life?” said Lina.

Grace choked.

“What’s more, Brian has the looks, figure, and ability. Do you know how many women are after him? Even if he doesn’t have the identity of the crown prince, his face and figure alone can drive many women crazy. He was ranked first in the online poll for the dreamiest man!”

Lina started to talk about all the gossip she had collected. about Brian. Grace listened, and some of it really surprised her.

For example, a well-known female celebrity had once asked Brian to kiss her to fulfill her wish, even if it was just on the cheek.

However, Brian did not say yes. He only said lightly, “You’re not the one I want.”

Another example was that Brian was good at painting. Besides, it was said that he had a studio full of paintings he had painted, but they were never released to the public.
