Rosalind Bush, who was nearby, looked enthusiastic as she said, âMrs. Reed, donât take it to heart. Masonâs still little. Donât worry, Yetian and I will take good care of him while you let him stay at the He familyâs house!â
Rosalind Bush seemed to have forgotten how they used to treat Mason!
The He family thought the longer Mason stayed in the He family the better. That way, the He family would have a better chance of getting on the Reed familyâs good side.
Lina walked over from the store. After hearing Rosalind Bushâs hypocritical words, she sneered and said, âI wonder who beat up such a small child until there were wounds all over his body previously. How shameless of you to say that!â
Rosalind Bushâs expression stiffened.
Lina crouched down again and looked at Mason. âYou should know that your mommy suffered a lot for you. Youâre able to stand here and wait for your sister to finish school because your sty saved you by disregarding her own life!â
Masonâs pretty little mouth was tightly closed and he did not say a word.
Lina had dealt with the little one before and understood that his personality was not quite the same as ordinary children.
âYour mommy is the one who loves you the most, got it?â asked Lina.
âThe one who loves me the most is Sis!â
âHuh?â Lina was amused by the little one. âDo you know what it feels like to love someone that much?â
âSis loves me the most, and I love Sis the most!â Mason said confidently.
âThis kidâ¦â Lina was speechless by the little oneâs stubbornness.
âLove? How would a five-year-old know what that means?â
Grace said, âAlright, Mason. Daddy and I are the ones who love. you!â
Just then, the bell rang. The little one immediately stopped speaking and stared intently at the students coming out of the school.
Finally, when Veronica Barlowâs small figure walked out of the school gate, Mason ran toward her and threw himself into her arms.
Looking at Masonâs 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, Masonâs 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.
âaunt Cummins, Uncle Reed.â After Veronica Barlow saw them, she asked a little timidly, âAre youâ¦
here to take Mason away?â
Mason hugged her even tighter when she asked that.
Grace said, âNo, weâre just here to see Mason. Mason may be staying at your house for a while.â
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 familyâs 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, âIâm not going to the He familyâs house. How are your hands? Did the doctor say when they would return to normal?â
