The More the Merrier

Chapter 428 Busted

“I’ll work harder and earn more money to pay for your medical expenses. Don’t worry, okay? Didn’t you say that I was picked up from a pile of garbage? That goes to show that my parents have abandoned me. In that case, you’re my only family member. So please don’t send me away.”

Since the day Tim heard Raphael address him as an adopted b*stard, the boy knew that Mary was not related to him by blood.

With a heavy heart, he persistently pursued the matter and bombarded Mary with a series of questions. Left with no choice, Mary told him the truth.

Therefore, Tim was well aware of his background all along.

The heartbroken Mary hugged him and wiped away his tears.

“I know that you worried about me. But you’ll lose your life one day if you continue staying here. Raphael has lost his mind and turned despicable. He would hit his own mother, let alone you who aren’t related to him at all. You’re still so young and I can’t let you suffer like this. So please, leave this place now. I’ll ask the village chief to send you off so that you can start anew elsewhere.” Mary tried to convince him.

This street-smart boy has great survival skills. He won’t starve to death even if he has no place to go. Conversely, his life will be at stake if he stays here with me.

“I’m not going anywhere, Grandma. I’m not afraid of him! Let’s leave together, okay? I’ll never leave you behind.”

It’s not that Grandma doesn’t want me, it’s just that she has desperate reasons to force me to leave her side.
