“Since they adopted the child, how about we ask them to pa**

him to us?” asked Grace.

Jason smiled faintly. “You seem to care a lot about that child. Do you like him so much?”

“Maybe it’s because he’s about the same age as Mick and Jasper.” Grace hesitated a little before saying, “Plus, there’s something special about the kid.”

“Special?” Jason raised his eyebrows slightly. “What’s so special about him?”

“He’s not as ignorant and capricious as the average child. Even though he had bruises all over him, he said it didn’t hurt. But it’s all the more heartbreaking,” said Grace.

Jason said, “I don’t mind adopting the child, but I don’t think he’ll be willing. I remember that the boy is quite close to his sister. He wouldn’t want to leave her.”

“But even if we adopt him, I won’t stop them from seeing each other again. I’d bring him to see his sister.”

“But even so, he won’t be willing,” said Jason.

“Why?” Grace was puzzled. “If he joins our family, he won’t be beaten and scolded. He’ll receive better education too…”

“But his sister wouldn’t be there, would she?”

“But I can bring him to see his sister.”

Jason said, “But they’re not going to be together every day. If he’s no longer with that family, he won’t see his sister when he wakes up, and he won’t see her every night before going to bed. If I were him, I wouldn’t want to leave that family either.”

From what she had told him about that child, he knew just how important Mason’s sister was to him.

It was also because Mason was a child that he was purer than an adult. He would not weigh the pros and cons in making choices.

Since that child seemed to be indifferent to everything else but only cared about his sister, then he surely would not want to leave her-not even for a minute or a second!

Grace wanted to say something else but Jason said, “Why don’t we go and ask the child tomorrow? Didn’t you say he waits for his sister at the school gate almost every day? So why don’t we just go to the school gate and ask him?”

‘That’s… true! We have to ask him if he agrees to the idea!’ Grace agreed but asked in confusion, “Are you going to ask him too?”

“Since you care about him, I care about him too. It won’t hurt to go see him anyway,” said Jason.

The next day, Grace took Jason to Kyla’s store.

Kyla smiled after seeing Jason. “Mr. Reed, thank you.” She knew that Jason had helped her a lot. If it were not for Jason, Paisley Daniels’s misdeeds would not have been exposed.

“You’re still not with Martin Weiss,” said Jason.

Kyla said frankly, “Yes, we’re not. Not now, not ever. We’ll never get back together.”

“He made a mistake, but won’t he be able to win your heart again even if he spends the rest of his life frying?” asked Jason.

“Jay!” said Grace, scared that Kyla would be offended by Jason being too straightforward.

Somewhat uncharacteristically, Jason continued to stare at Kyla as if wanting to hear her answer.

Kyla said, “I’ll never love him again, even if he spends the rest of his life making it up to me and repenting.”

She spoke with such determination!

Jason’s brows furrowed slightly. “Why? He hurt you because he was deceived. He didn’t do it intentionally.”

Kyla said, “But he did it on purpose at first. He approached me and made me fall in love with him with another motive in mind. Also, he had every opportunity to investigate the truth, but he didn’t. He preferred to believe that I was a villain who was responsible for everything. Even if I did have feelings for him, they’ve long since died from the pain he has caused Jason’s eyes darkened, and his face seemed to be enveloped with a layer of gloom.

Grace quickly tugged at him and said to Kyla, “Kyla, I’m sorry. Don’t mind what Jay had said.”

“It’s alright. There’s nothing I can’t say about what has happened with Martin Weiss and me,” said Kyla.

Just then, someone came to pay for their things. Kyla greeted the customer. Grace whispered to Jason, “Why did you ask Kyla these?”

“Nothing, I’m just asking,” said Jason. Martin Weiss had made a mistake that disappointed Kyla greatly.

What about him? He had committed a mistake too, but Grace was still by his side! However, the memories he was missing haunted him.

Before long, the tiny figure walked toward the school gate again.

It was Mason!

Grace and Jason walked to the school gate as well.

Just like before, the little one walked up to the school’s iron gate and squatted down to wait quietly. His face appeared completely indifferent.

 Even when Grace and Jason stood beside him, he seemed to ignore them as though they were invisible.

Grace crouched down and said, “Mason, remember me?”

The little one slowly turned his head to look at Grace and nodded.

“This is my husband. You can call him Uncle Reed,” said Grace.

However, it was spoken in vain because the little one had no intention of greeting Jason.

“Did your sister apply the medicine for you? Do you feel any better?” asked Grace.

“She did, but I’m not in pain.” His childlike voice seemed to speak with some confusion. He did not understand why he felt no pain, but his sister said he had to apply the medicine on his bruises so that they would heal quickly.

Since he felt no pain, what difference did it make if his bruises healed quickly or slowly?

“Even if it doesn’t hurt, it may affect your health if you’re injured and you don’t get yourself treated. You’re only suffering from superficial injuries this time, but if you hurt your bones and you don’t seek treatment just because you’re not in pain, then you may have to walk with a limp forever.” Grace tried to explain things as simply as she could.

The little one was silent as if thinking over her words.

Grace added, “Would you like to change your home? What about staying with me and Uncle Reed? Then no one will ever hit you again and you won’t suffer from these kinds of injuries.”

Mason instantly grew vigilant. The way he looked at Grace had also changed. He appeared fierce, like a small animal that was ready to pounce and bite at any time.

Grace felt that Mason was looking at her as though he was looking at his enemy. She felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

Jason took a step forward and stood between the little one and Grace, just in case Mason did something to hurt Grace.

“I only want to be with Sis!” the little one said stubbornly and growled at Jason like a small animal protesting against an unusually powerful beast.

Jason stared at the little one’s face. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he narrowed his eyes as if to take a closer look at Mason.

Just then, school was over and the students came out one by one. The little one immediately rushed to Veronica Barlow when he saw her coming out. His small hands grabbed Veronica Barlow tightly.

“I’m never leaving my sister.” He seemed particularly determined.

Carrying a small school bag, Veronica Barlow asked curiously, “Who wants to separate us?”

Mason’s eyes turned to Grace. The next moment, Veronica Barlow rushed up to Grace and said, “I thought you were nice. I can’t believe you want to separate Ci and me. I’m telling you, we’re not going to separate from each other. I… I’ll try to save up to pay back the medical fees I owe you!”

“You can pay me back anytime you want, and I don’t want to separate you from your brother. I just… want to adopt your brother and give him a better home.”
