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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzK1G9B4RX
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2MxsxeUt5
"Kaven,"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6qWLFu8xV
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XFvy9VIL
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdlUfv47b
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."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmS1mJDyLp
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN3sf4hpfx
"You're asking about me?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6I2VWkMkJ
The boy nodded.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTNbpMqi9e
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUs8s7ZYk
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWpgKfdnF
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTLHRykoRV
He shake his head.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJMrBiSiV
"You're not alright?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0OCeYuKLL
"Alright...now."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1HjJvN7h
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNFmtKSAOC
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sLfzshEkk
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8RKAUF9Zp
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!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq4A5dvtQK
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewE9nCRAV
"That...stupid...and hey..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ahixW3XEc
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZ8to1FBz
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlMfLz2BO0
"What?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92b5Spflpp
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PgrCu8NL8
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGV85AeWw
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?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eRZ2jwdhg
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2A4gshbyP
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."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn4Nm8dgtB
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN2oKfBp6B
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?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAAeboIb2b
"Ah! I know...I know..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTa5wmfnnt
Thank God!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yaVWKyBAc
"I'm seven...seven years old."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBOklrODk
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEE8ZOlMHp
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QirpROjjo
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Rq8hV6xh
Just who is your parents????????????????????
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OfMnVplu1
"Oh hell..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDUIzljb5q
"M'lady!"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtloBXMWjCZ
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdv79i2W7q
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYXI2FKyGm
"M'lady?" He said.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3zhDwbWzV
Both of them look at him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAI5mwyak
"Your name is...m'lady?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWc3tC3PB4
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2FOzMLAB2
"Title?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyu4AGq0OP
"You're familiar with nobility?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW869PUOA6s
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpehZ80yh79
Good. He understand a little.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkjjSKjwcK
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfkpS61di
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Hho7U8U3
"What the hell...no!"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDmYZTjwDS
"M'LADY!"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCegOxuaeTV
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."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTaKIeAsrE
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sVHLwZgGF
"M'lady, what are you..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ickBljCg
"You heard me,"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAcfmUbrhd
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYboZx3Ia
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUch04zIpc
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7esClaeCL
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33d51BhOzt
"I'm Joe."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeleCLd88Zv
"...And I'm father, from now on."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkRZ4tuIH
"Father?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLioFJWH3Td
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA2eX8Prgk
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCHqm9EJYy
"Like...parent?"
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKoSUVB5am
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoXr4HxZe5
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYOuLCwngU
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWxIMT8Qxg
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8RO2iy174
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvycQtnjeJ
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
