    Chapter 2166


    In the past, his mother did not care even if he got in a fight with someone outside and got bruises all


    over his body.


    All his mother did was drink, watch TV, and talk about how morous she used to be…


    “Here, why don’t I treat your wounds?” Grace took the little one back to his room. Then, she took the


    medical kit and carefully tended to William’s wounds.


    William remained silent as Grace applied the ointment to his body.


    “Let me know if it hurts.” Grace was afraid that she was being a little too forceful, but the little one


    stayed silent even though it hurt.


    William pressed his lips together. For some reason, the pain seemed to diminish… ‘Is it because of the


    ointment? Or… is it because of aunt Cummins?’


    The next day, William’s face was still swollen. Grace thought of letting the little one skip kindergarten


    for a few days until his wounds recovered.


    However, William insisted on going to kindergarten.


    Therefore, Grace had no choice but to send him there. She told


    2/3 the kindergarten teacher to pay more attention to the little one.


    During recess, a teacher came to the bed William was napping on and patted him gently, hinting him to


    get up.


    William got out and followed the teacher out of the nap room with a puzzled look on his face. Then, he


    went into a room.


    In the room, he once again saw the man who imed to be his father!


    Philip Barlow instantly felt upset when he saw the bruises on his son, even though the current situation


    would help him bring the little one back to the Barlow family. After all, the more miserable he was in the


    Reed family, the more willing he would be to leave.


    However, he still felt an indescribable pain.


    ‘Is it because the child is mine? Is it because he’s my only son?’


    “You look so ugly right now. Were you beaten by the children of the Reed family’s servants?” asked


    Philip Barlow. Although he was not in the Reed family, he knew what he ought to know.


    William watched him warily like a guarded kitten.


    “You have a bad reputation in the Reed family’s house right now. Everyone said you pushed Nelson


    Corbyn down the stairs. Even if you said it wasn’t you, no one believed you, right?” said Philip Barlow.


    A hint of gloom shed across William’s eyes, which were

    simr to Philip Barlow’s. Then, his nervousness and wariness turned into frustration. He lowered his


    little head.


    “Even the servants’ children dare to beat you up now. It’s because they think you’re no better than they


    are.” Philip Barlow crouched down and looked straight at his son, saying, “But if


    you’re the Barlow family’s heir, someone with the same status as Jasper and Mick Reed, who would


    have the guts to treat you like that?”


    The little one shivered a little.


    He asked, “Do you want to stay with the Reed family or return to the Barlow family with me? Once you


    return to the Barlow family, no one will dare to look down on you again, let alone call you the son of a


    criminal!”


    William slowly raised his head and looked nkly at the person in front of him. What he said was


    tempting him to say yes.


    He did not want to be despised or looked down upon again, let alone hear people call him a criminal


    just because he was the child of a criminal.
