Sloan stepped out of the carriage, rushing to the physician's place inside. There, she saw the child sitting on the hospital bed and talking to the physician.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL7B2JEMxx
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnrBzNm9Dg
"Kaven,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjO1aQGhCa
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJwFuc2cC
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjpRMoOCH4
Kaven nod his head. "Luckily, it was only minor injuries. He'll be fine for weeks after resting and eating healthy foods. The child needs to be taken care a lot, m'lady. He said he was fine, I asked him when he woke up just today. He was asking about you."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9iuPJC0HC
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9QqpyUDwy
"You're asking about me?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPebTJykfDf
The boy nodded.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPiVQxNvfv
Kaven spoke, "M'lady, please don't asked him too many questions, alright? He can only speak less...he suffered so much..." Shane pitied the boy.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhpdpAhWGI
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIp6R9EsuH
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7p7Ov9sdy
He shake his head.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7zTE4F0t
"You're not alright?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUO3cuXGvZ
"Alright...now."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqXT3QQLm
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwfmZC9mzz
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvohH2Yvza
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWRQOPqI3G
That's not his name at all! But that's what they call him? Even before he was sold? What a cruel mother he has!
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82trsQrTbX
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hXAafzuBv
"That...stupid...and hey..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2bdndkEpV
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwHyDlpcz
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qhUJ2ZSpf
"What?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF7vHxjht4
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRIXtukXuv
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkzGaj8fkg
She sighed and carefully asked again, "Uhm, you see, it seems that you have not a name...would you allow me to call you a name? What do you think? You see, stupid is a bad word...that's not a name, alright? You understand me? What do you think?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMlQe4hmQ3
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqYgNunGmf
Sloan thought for a moment, looking down, finding names in her head that would be suitable for the child, "What about...Joe? Do you like how it sounds? Joe."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBje9dlhtsR
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKd2shXPyY
Sloan sighed in relief. "That's right, Joe. Now, can you tell me how old are you? Do you know...how old are you, Joe?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUywJTSW7q
"Ah! I know...I know..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7C7O3avad
Thank God!
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNboGVGfYr
"I'm seven...seven years old."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbI2kQHZGx
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIl5X59Plj
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHq8mU3MO
In anyone's eyes, he won't look like any seven year old boy. Surely, he would be fit for a four or five year old.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VzFxU2TPS
Just who is your parents????????????????????
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvk1TBCPh
"Oh hell..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QIFGE5x2
"M'lady!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKLgNvUZq
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilRGg43Q54
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzmvb1nr2
"M'lady?" He said.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi48tqk0K8
Both of them look at him.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPJWmGro9J
"Your name is...m'lady?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr82YvtgIp
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6gs6aXpnO
"Title?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NSSIxVQvm
"You're familiar with nobility?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5tlsnDWQ
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3XuNCj1X
Good. He understand a little.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLzkSsWcfU
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbBrWhlNY
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS46vIqvPZF
"What the hell...no!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpGB18BcvN
"M'LADY!"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUms6VoJt
Sloan sighed. "I mean, no, you will not. You'll come with me. Do you want to come with me? New home. I'll take you with me."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcIZCWVxTA
Sloan, looking at the child, decided to not bring the child to the Baron's orphanage. She's going to take him to her father and trained him to be a knight. Joe was neglected, not take good care of, sold, and enslaved by the Countess for she doesn't know months after he was sold. Maybe training him to hold a sword will allow him to defend himself anytime at anywhere. Instead of waiting at the Baron's orphanage for the people to adopt him, he will be take good care of their place.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFhmjAhJs
"M'lady, what are you..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTPVJ0MwXm
"You heard me,"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO56H8nChE
The day after that, Sloan came back to Kaven's place to pick Joe up. When the carriage stopped at their place, Joe was amaze to see the big house.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ney5zfmT
Shae was the first to welcomed them. He took notice of Sloan's approached to adopt Joe. He has always wanted to have a son. What he means is, with Gale. But that could only be a dream now. Also, having everything that happened to him and his wife, and Sloan, his only child and daughter, was about to marry the prince, why not took the chance to have a son? He has to decide. And his decision comes up with this.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0UpFWPOaP
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUias3bLS
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7jaRfoBC4
"I'm Joe."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag9fDhpK5t
"...And I'm father, from now on."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcX6wxvp5g
"Father?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytEFMjTPjU
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFX6jm04K
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Mrszg18D
"Like...parent?"
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9cp15jiUZ
Shae nodded. Sloan let go of his hand. Shae held Joe's hand and they both head there way in the big house while talking. Sloan watched their back faded as she only stood there.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr84npIdCHS
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed4kCnu1KU
Joe was still a child. He will have experiences. It will be tough for him to deal with his past traumas growing up, just like her. But she knows, she can feel it, Joe was a strong child. He will going to make it in the future. And he will be happy. Happier more than anyone who neglected and abuse him.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ObfEqqIPC
And her father, was a great father. He guides and supports anyone, showing them the path they choose and advising them. Though he never became a husband with her mother, he takes all the greatness of being a father to almost anyone.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY463eHApcL
And for herself...what about her? She can't think of her future. Maybe she'll have a child. Maybe she'll left the palace after the prince find the one he loves and she'll be a great mother to her child. Maybe one day, she'll live with her child to a place like a normal kingdom's citizen.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIrjKrEgB7
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
