MainNovelChapter 1622:
The man blurted, “I'm telling—" The rest of his words caught in his throat the second he saw Kristian’s face. All
the bravado drained out of him. “Mr. Shaw...”
“You're aware it's illegal to beat a child, aren't you?” Kristian’s voice was low and steely. His gaze dropped to the
boy still kneeling on the ground, and a chill swept through his eyes. “You wantto have you locked up for a
while?”
“He’s my son! I'm just disciplining him. The police can’t interfere!” The man scrambled for an excuse, clearly
unnerved.
Everyone in the community knew Kristian’s reputation. If he wanted someone taken in, he’d have the top
lawyers lined up in minutes.
“Nobody's stopping you from being a parent. But the law doesn’t allow you to cross the line into abuse,” Kristian
said, reaching down to help the boy to his feet. The moment he did, he caught sight of the bruises on the boy’s
waist—dark, angry splotches that screamed pain.
His expression turned grim in an instant. He lifted the boy’s sleeve and found even more bruises.
“You did this?” Kristian asked, his tone clipped.
“He's disobedient and doesn’t study well. Spare the rod, spoil the child,” the man muttered, swallowing hard. He
yanked the boy behind him. “This is a family matter. We're going.”

Nina didn’t seem to notice his fury at all. She just walked up to the boy and held out her chubby hand. “Let me
take you to the hospital.”
“No need,” the boy answered coldly, his voice hollow and flat.
It was only then that Nina got a proper look at his face.

He radiated loneliness and indifference. Even though he had a pretty face, the gloom in his eyes made other kids
hesitate to cnear. He was the kind of kid everyone avoided.
“But you do need it,” Nina said quickly. Then she turned to Kristian. “Uncle Kristian, can we take him to the
hospital? He's got so many bruises... it must really hurt.”
Jesse froze at her words, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. Nina only ever insisted this much when she truly
cared.
“Okay,” Kristian agreed.
At that moment, no one noticed the faint flicker in the boy's lifeless eyes—like a match struck in the dark. But
just as quickly as it appeared, it vanished again.

Kristian didn’t respond. He simply fixed the man with a level stare.
A chill skittered down the man’s spine.
