Chapter 621 Take Him Back

He was still such a little boy. At this age, he should have been living a happy and peaceful life, being pampered and spoiled by his parents. Instead, it seemed like he had been constantly abused and tortured by someone.

Fixing her eyes on the numerous scars covering the little boy's back, Ashley became much more careful handling him.

It hurt so much just to take a glimpse of the scars. Ashley wondered how this boy managed put up with the pain on a daily basis.

Ashley bathed the little boy carefully with the lightest of touches. Since she didn't have any clothes that he could wear, she decided to borrow some from Selma.

Luckily, Selma still had some clothes that Tony had worn when he was young. Old-fashioned and plain, they were still decent enough to be worn.

Of course, Selma found it odd that Ashley had come to borrow some clothes for a child. "What's going on? Why do you want clothes for a little kid all of a sudden?" Selma asked with curiosity.

Ashley didn't mind explaining the whole story to Selma. Considering the little boy was still lying in the bathtub and fearing that he might have an accident and possibly drown, she kept her reply as brief as possible. "It's a long story. I can't get into it right now, but I'll explain everything tomorrow."

Then, she thanked her neighbor and left in a hurry with the clothes.

Ashley's brief explanation even confused her. "What on earth has just happened? Why did she come to me to ask for clothes for a little kid?" Selma murmured.

After racking her brain for a while, she decided to stop thinking about it. After all, Ashley would tell her in the morning, what was actually going on.

After getting the clothes for little boy, Ashley hurried back to her room to get a clean bath towel. Then, she wiped the boy dry and helped him put on the borrowed clot

essfully put the boy in bed after much effort. "Sleep little boy. Tomorrow we will go look for your parents."

Then, she walked out of the room and closed the door.

After cleaning up, she retired to her bedroom.

It was unfortunate that she had gotten herself into such an unexpected situation today.

Fortunately apart from the fact that he was a little dazed and couldn't speak, the boy was in good condition, so Ashley made up her mind to take him back tomorrow.

She didn't have the time nor energy to take care of a child. Besides, she was soon going to give birth to her own.

She fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit her pillow.

The next morning, she woke up early and continued to lie in bed for a while before finally getting up in a daze.

After washing her face, she went to the kitchen and made some porridge and snacks.

The smell of porridge slowly wafted through the air.

As Ashley cooked, she didn't notice that a boy who was about a meter tall slowly opened the door and walked out.

When she turned around and spotted the sudden movement, she flinched in surprise.

It was only when she realized that it was the little boy whom she had bought home last night, that she relaxed.
