All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 398

These days, Zayn was swamped with work, so his visits to Moses place had become less frequent. But he still knew the way like the back of his hand.

After having Liam prepare some gifts, Zayn hopped into his car and headed to Moses” neighborhood

Moses‘ neighborhood was a mix of architectural styles, with towering apartment buildings and sprawling villas. Moses himself lived in a secluded courtyard. It was perfect for bending to his collection of medicinal herbs.

When Zayn pulled up, it was already past 9:00 am.

Today, being Sunday, the kids were out of school. Thus, they could be seen frolicking in the small square at the neighborhood entrance.

Every day at this hour, Aaron’s nanny would take him for a walk in the square.

Aaron’s health was fragile, and despite his limp, he needed the exercise. The more he moved, the better for his legs

The square’s facilities were all safety–certified, so parents could relax while their kids played freely. It was a time for families to mingle, catching up with neighbors as the children laughed and played together.

The nanny tending to Aaron was chatting away with the other nannies from neighboring families. The air was filled with their lively banter.

Surrounded by a few elderly ladies keeping watch over the children, Zayn paid them no mind. His gaze was fixed solely on Aaron, who was moving about the small square with a noticeable Emp.

Zayn figured they were Aaron’s buddies, but to his dismay, after watching Aaron stroll for a bit, the kids erupted into exaggerated laughter.

Achubby kid named Tommy pointed at Aaron’s Jeg, snickering, “Hey, check it out! Look at him walking. He’s just like a duck, right?

Bursting with laughter, Tommy hilariously imitated Aaron’s limp, adding a touch of mockery to his imitation.

Witnessing Tommy’s antics, another boy named Jack joined in. He stuck out his rear end and dramatically hunched over, wadding about.

“Like this? How’s my impersonation? Jack enthusiastically mimicked Aaron’s limp, then brazenly guaded him, “Hey, limp boy, who’s got the better strut, me or you?”

Aaron winced at Jack’s mockery, clenching his fists tightly. Clearly, he was feeling uncomfortable.

But he didn’t want to stir up trouble or cause his mom any worry. With a subdued nod, he continued practicing his walk.

He knew from a young age that he was different from the other loda,

While they enjoyed school and playtime, he spent his days confined to a hospital bed, battling a serious illness.

When he finally recovered, he was left with a limp. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Walking with a limp wasn’t easy on the eyes. It weighed heavily on his heart.

But he had to keep a cheerful facade. If he showed too much sadness, it would only add to his mom’s worries.

He couldn’t bear to see his beloved mom suffer.

“Okay,ut it out, all of you!” The tallest boy, Timmy, declared with his chin held high

“Do you all want to end up like him? My mom says cripples can’t find wives. I sure don’t want to be in his shoes!”

With a scornful glance, he turned to the girl holding a doll beside him. “Jenny, would you marry a cripple when you grow up?
