Chapter 195 The Child No One Protected
The water channel work was quite simple. It would take about one day. By the time Rosalie finished explaining everything to Leon, the sun was already up.
Leon stayed behind with the beastmen to dig the channels and guide the water. Rosalie and Talia walked back at a slower pace.
On the way back, Rosalie thought of Reid and asked, “Talia, is there a child in your tribe named Reid Chandler?”
Talia’s expression stiffened. Rosalie knew at once that she knew him.
She did not even try to hide it. It was just that this was a shameful matter for the tribe, and she felt embarrassed to say it out loud.
She sighed and said, “Reid is from our tribe.
“His father left with someone else, so his mother has never liked him. She treats him … very badly.
“When she sees him, she either hits him or yells at him. Sometimes she does not even give him food.”
At this point, Talia sighed again.
“It’s not that their home has no food. Even when there are leftovers, she would rather throw them away than let Reid have a bite.
“He can only wander around the tribe. If someone feels sorry for him, they give him a little food.”
As Talia spoke, Rosalie’s brows lowered. There was pity in her eyes, but even more disbelief.
How could a mother treat her own child like this?!
As she thought about it, she suddenly felt a movement in her belly. Rosalie froze, then slowly placed her hand on her stomach in shock.
“Baby, you can’t stand this either, can you?”
This was the first time the child inside her had moved. It happened after hearing about Reid’s suffering. It seemed her baby had a strong sense of justice.
At first, Rosalie had not planned to interfere. She only wanted to ask Talia to look after the child more.
But now, since even her baby reacted, she would not ignore it.
Rosalie said firmly, “Talia, take me to Reid’s home.”
Talia looked worried. “His mother is very cruel. You really shouldn’t go.”
She did not say the rest, that Rosalie was a guest, but the concern in her voice was real.
“It’s fine. Take me there.”
