Chapter 123
"Well, it seems that you really love your son. Let me see how deep your love can be." Este handed
the stick to a man and asked him to do it.
These men took Este''s money and did things for her, though it was unfair for them to bully a woman
and a child.
They closed their eyes and hit Arya.
Ryan was trembling in Arya''s arms and sobbing. Tears wet Arya''s clothes.
Arya didn''t Ryan to worry and fear. No matter how painful it was, she didn''t make a sound. She held
Ryan tightly in her arms andforted Ryan, "Ryan… Don''t be afraid. I''m here."
The stick broke, and Arya groaned in pain. Este was furious that Arya still did not kneel in front of her
and beg for mercy. Este looked at Arya with a ferocious face. "I didn''t expect you to be that brave!"
Arya was afraid that Ryan would be hurt, but Este was even more eager to torture Ryan. Este
asked someone to pull Arya away.
Arya hugged Ryan tightly and refused to let go.
"Well, let me see if you''re tougher than my stick." Este found a thicker stick and hit her. She hated
Arya so much and wanted to tear her apart.

Este beat Arya madly and mumbled, "I''ll kill you…"
Arya, surrounded by them, had no chance to escape or fight back. She could only hug Ryan tightly to
protect him.
She had experienced it once. This time, she protected her child in her arms. Tears fell unconsciously
on Ryan''s face. She didn''t know if she could survive. She tightened her arms. Her eyes turned red, and
her voice hoarse. "Ryan… I am your mother. Will you me me for leaving you alone?"
Ryan was sobbing and shaking his head desperately. He didn''t me or hate her anymore. He just
hoped that they could stop.
Caspar secretly told him that Arya was his mother, but he was unwilling to ept it. If his mother loved
him, why would she abandon him?
So he didn''t want to call her mother.
But now, he no longer med her.
"I didn''t abandon you. I love you so much. Forgive me for not being by your side for a few years." Arya
was about to pass out. She was afraid that it would bete if she didn''t tell Ryan the truth. Ryan
nodded. He kept calling "mommy", but he could only groan. He could feel her hand loosening.
Just as Arya was about to lose her strength, a man ran over quickly. "There''s a car driving this way."
After a while, Este''s anger subsided.
"Let''s get out of here. Otherwise, we''ll get into trouble." The man advised. Although he had received
the money, he did not want to get into trouble or lose his life.
After what happened to Marshal, Este became more vignt. Arya was half-dead, so she threw away
the stick and said, "Let''s go."
Este and her men got into the car promptly and left.
Arya did not know what was going on. She raised her hands to untie Ryan''s rope, but she was too
weak to do so. At this moment, she saw the light and heard someone talking, "Someone is here."
Xavier saw Arya kneeling on the ground with Ryan in her arms. His heart skipped a beat.
He had been in a meeting, and his phone was left in the office. When he returned to his office, he saw
a missed call from Arya, but he couldn''t get through to her when he called back. He went to her
Joy said she hadn''te back.
He was worried about her, so he watched the surveince video of Arya leaving thepany, only to
see someone pick her up at his name.
It was obviously a conspiracy because he had never sent anyone to pick up Arya.
ording to the clues in the surveince video, he followed here. There were no surveince cameras
in the suburbs, so he could only search around for them. So he waste.
His footsteps suddenly became heavy. The closer he got, the more clearly he could see the injuries on
Arya''s back. He didn''t know how badly she was hurt, but judging from her red clothes, her wounds
must be severe.
He squatted down to untie the rope on Ryan''s hand and take off the thing in his mouth. Just as Ryan
was free, he cried out. Ryan put his arm around Arya''s neck. "I don''t me you. I don''t hate you. I don''t
want you to be beaten."
Arya wanted to hug him, but she couldn''t lift her hands. She thought that she was leaving Ryan alone
in this world. She was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. She closed her eyes and felt the
warmth of Ryan''s embrace.
Their cries were heartbreaking. Jacob walked over with his men, but he did not dare to disturb them
when he saw this. Although he was just a bystander, the sadness still infected him.
Xavier wanted to touch Arya, but his hand paused. He didn''t know how tofort her. His heart ached
as if someone had stabbed it with a knife.
He was moved. He wanted to protect her and love her.
Arya''s face pressed against Ryan''s hair, and her own hair was loose. Blood oozed from her back. She
was both sad and happy because of Ryan''s words. Ryan forgave her and called her mommy. She was
rxed. She passed out.
"Mommy!" Ryan cried hoarsely with tears and snot all over his face.
The moment Arya fell, Xavier took her and let her fall into his arms.
Xavier was softhearted. The scene of Arya protecting Ryan just now was shocking. She was not a
good person, but she was definitely a good mother. He held Arya as gently as he could. He didn''t want
to hurt her.
Jacob went to carry Ryan, but Ryan broke away from him. Ryan grabbed Arya''s hand and refused to
let it go. He looked up at Xavier tearfully and sobbed, "Where are you taking my mommy? You can''t
hurt her."
Xavier lowered his voice for fear of scaring him, "I won''t hurt her. She''s injured. I''ll take her to the
hospital. You don''t want anything to happen to your mommy, do you?"
Ryan nodded heavily. He didn''t hate her anymore. Maybe his mother left him for some reason at that
time.
If she didn''t love him, she would not have protected him from the stick with her body…
