Ethan pouted, clearly reluctant.
"If you don't go, I won't hang out with you anymore!" Elena threatened.
Ethan had no choice but to lower his head and walk over there.
She finally managed to send the guy away.
"Dylan, are you okay?" Elena asked, stepping forward.
Dylan wiped the corner of his mouth, surprised to see a bit of blood.
"I'm fine."
"Why didn't you fight back? That's not like you."
"Why would I hold a grudge against someone with the mind of a child? Forget it."
"It seems you're actually quite compassionate."
"Taking a punch is nothing, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. Aren't you surprised?"
"Surprised about what?" Elena was confused.
Dylan continued, "Daphne has always bullied him, and he never fought back. He was constantly picked on. But just now, he actually attacked me. If he's capable of that, how could Daphne possibly be a match for him?"
"His mind isn't right, so he probably doesn't know how to defend himself, right?"
"But he just defended himself against me!" Dylan looked at Elena.
Elena understood what he meant. "Are you saying he's faking it? That Ethan is pretending to be mentally disabled?"
"I had my suspicions. But after he left the Sinclair family and Scarlett sent him away, I didn't think much of it. I just didn't expect him to come back recently!"
"That can't be it, can it? For someone to fake it for so many years... Plus, I checked the bruises on his body. They were definitely from being pinched and abused. It seems he hasn't had a good life out there all these years."
"It's just a guess on my part. You're the closest person to me, so I wanted to tell you to keep your guard up!"
As they were talking, Elena suddenly realized that Ethan was gone!
Ethan began to cry in panic. "No... don't... I'll crawl right now, I'll crawl through right now..."
With that, Ethan actually got down on the ground, ready to crawl between Damian's legs.
A loud smack echoed.
A fist swung out.
Dylan stepped forward, his voice sharp. "Damian, do you have any humanity left? He has the mind of a child, and you have the heart to humiliate him like this?"
"You again! Dylan, why are you always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong? I'm just messing with the idiot, and you have to interfere! Do you really think I'm that easy to push around?"
After saying that, Damian rolled up his sleeves, ready for a fight.
Dylan grabbed him and gave him a severe beating.
Elena went over and asked, "Ethan, are you okay?"
