Chapter180.

When Brian’s mother heard the words, her face paled even further.

“What are you blathering about? I would never hit him! I’m his biological mother. How could I do such a thing? You shouldn’t be slinging this filth at me!”

Given Joshua’s identity, she dared not utter anything too extreme, yet her guilty expression betrayed her inner disquiet.

Joshua sneered, “I’m lying? I witnessed it myself. Brian had wounds all over his arms, and he even had burns. Despite his tall stature, he falls ill frequently. He’s such a weakling, always fainting at the slightest provocation.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to defeat Brian.

When Gabriel heard Joshua mention “fainting,” he furrowed his brow, experiencing a sense of familiarity.

The woman grasped Brian’s arm tightly, fearing that the secret beneath his clothes would be exposed. The pointed tip of her high heels kicked Brian’s shin, and she lowered her voice to caution him not to speak out of turn.

Brian hung his head mournfully, the bones at the back of his neck jutting out conspicuously. He stole a glance at the children being safeguarded by their parents and blurted out feebly, “It was Joshua who initiated it first…”

The woman’s mouth curved upwards in satisfaction, but then she heard Brian’s subsequent words. “But it was indeed me who provoked Joshua.”

He lifted his head and looked at Joshua, saying, “So we’re even now.”

Joshua glanced at him, feeling somewhat at a loss for words.

“If Brian couldn’t defeat someone shorter than him, it would be understandable. But, astonishingly, he couldn’t even overcome Leila, who wasn’t even two years old. Do his parents not feed him properly? Else, how could he be so frail?”

Reflecting on this, Joshua felt a tinge of sympathy for Brian’s plight.

Although his parents were divorced, they were kind to him and his brother. Brian’s parents, on the contrary, were not divorced, but his father never returned home and his mother frequently

assaulted him.

In comparison, he was already extremely fortunate.

Joshua looked at Gabriel and felt the gentle stroke of Gabriel’s large palm through his hair, while Gabriel’s words filled his ears, offering an overwhelming sense of security.

Gabriel said, “Joshua, how do you propose to settle this?”

In his heart, although Joshua was mischievous, he was very kind, and Gabriel was willing to safeguard this kindness within him.

“Dad, can you have Dr. Martin examine Brian’s wound? He looks truly pitiful.

“Once, I saw him crying in pain.”

Brian flushed with embarrassment and hastily clarified, “I
