Chapter 606: Raymond is a Flexible Person

Claire bailed, and the crew started messing with Bradley again.

Bradley clenched his teeth, trying to tough it out.

He had to hang in there and spill the beans to Ethan about Claire's dirty deeds.

"Dude's got some serious grit," one of the goons sneered, stomping on Bradley's fingers. "Heard he's been playing piano since he was a kid. His hands are prettier than a chick's."

Bradley fought through the pain, his mind getting all fuzzy.

In his haze, he drifted back to his childhood, hiding out with his mom in Maple Grove to dodge Howard.

"Mom, why do we keep moving and switching schools?" He never got why his mom was always running from Howard back then.

"Bradley, you're too young to get it."

"Mom, I met a guy today. He said he's my dad."

"Bradley, he is your dad."

"Why can't we live with Dad? Other kids live with their parents."

"Because I messed up. I took something that wasn't mine. I am guilty."

Bradley would never forget Leah holding him, saying it was all her fault, that she was a sinner.

"Dad's got a family. He's got his own kid. So we can't live with him. We gotta hide 'cause I don't wanna be a homewrecker."

"Bradley, you're an illegitimate kid, the son of a mistress."

"Bradley is an illegitimate kid, the son of a mistress!"

Those taunts, the endless school changes, the strange places, and the nights crying alone with his mom.

All those memories felt like chains, almost choking him.

"My mom's not a mistress. She didn't know that guy had a family. She only found out after she had me. He lied to my mom!"

"My mom did nothing wrong! Nothing wrong!"

He had once screamed like a madman, but no one cared about the story of an illegitimate kid.
