The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 174

The sports field at the special education school looked no different from that of a standard middle school.

It was recess, and quite a few special needs children of all ages were out on the field playing.

It was easy to see that some of them weren't as physically agile as ordinary kids, while others were incredibly energetic but could only communicate using frantic sign language.

There were even kids who, like Julian, used wheelchairs, or kids whose uniform sleeves hung empty, missing one or even both arms.

But what surprised Julian was—

He had assumed an environment like this would be suffocating, dreary, and steeped in tragedy.

But the reality was the exact opposite.

Every one of these children, born with inherent disadvantages, wore a pure, untainted smile on their faces.

It was the look of someone who had accepted fate's cruel joke and decided to live life to the fullest anyway.

Soon, the bell rang.

Julian watched the children scattered across the field gather into two formations.

Under a teacher's guidance, one group performed a slightly uncoordinated routine of calisthenics, while the other group slowly jogged a few laps around the track.

Once the basic PE requirements were met, the teachers gave them free time.

Julian noticed one of the PE teachers gathering eight or nine kids in wheelchairs and leading them to the basketball courts on the far side of the field.

The young man's pupils trembled slightly.

Before his accident, he had loved all kinds of competitive sports.

In college, he had even been a star player on the varsity basketball team.

But ever since he received the diagnosis that he would never walk again, he had lost his right to participate in all normal sports overnight, solidifying his belief that he had become completely useless.

Yet, the PE teacher's actions sparked a flicker of hesitation in his heart.

Could you really... play basketball in a wheelchair?

A sudden urge took hold of him, and before he realized it, he had already steered his wheelchair to follow them.

On the court, the PE teacher split eight of the kids into two teams of four, positioning them on opposite sides.
