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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC64ykSKpay
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb67q8CzLCj
"Kaven,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFr7D05U7Q
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkYd0vM3ZR
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ImegTRuik
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."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVMfZX9SJX
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiykw8dhU2
"You're asking about me?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyiVZ9hqvc
The boy nodded.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQBrhN1pS4
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnyvcchqml
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMo0PDVKRk
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqyKAPdXP8
He shake his head.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPK2vJOYHT
"You're not alright?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJVuW8xsUC
"Alright...now."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSNmoCcgQE
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxSVrUVE7Z
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxJGzplCc8
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvs3ht18Ym
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!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnhmqcHo3
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M8f5nJJV3
"That...stupid...and hey..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ov1X1OfE
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdUHpp0Qam
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXHwSQNA0Z
"What?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzarp4wOti
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9dwNLp3VD
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcFCkQF0B1
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?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0BUNUUSi7
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxkb6woYew
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."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3JhSs4UaC
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI0JDHwFHv
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?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3be9ORg99
"Ah! I know...I know..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuGpny3rSt
Thank God!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBDym4A28K
"I'm seven...seven years old."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7yXmtqzFy
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2rc5DnhQ
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEkphmh5UK
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZdXjVXkOa
Just who is your parents????????????????????
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTWxr8ZpTy
"Oh hell..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RbFukY2kt
"M'lady!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObspRbV2bj
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NAXbSUyRw
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZWMVLOUwK
"M'lady?" He said.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIgJv6BUbN
Both of them look at him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66vWfKTNEe
"Your name is...m'lady?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7zY5V9obL
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7GkBy7os8
"Title?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuIzOyRba
"You're familiar with nobility?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXMi70kDDR
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJBH9HE020
Good. He understand a little.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9P8d11OwX
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0tx3fmev
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81tanCMglv
"What the hell...no!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgucEqwUfY
"M'LADY!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNbUD719JX
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."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupaAicvfql
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vdqIye6LF
"M'lady, what are you..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPe8lNVbXZ
"You heard me,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSrSex1j0
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kmaKpQjZU
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVYY4MeuQL
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7sQIIWYsc
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3uLbrUxq
"I'm Joe."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZGdS1Jiy6
"...And I'm father, from now on."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEKOraegE4
"Father?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7yCxgI4zz
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8cOHGLNo
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJPRz5X4o
"Like...parent?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx8LGepCRp
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQrsxjoNkG
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CigW4jF5N
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyreDIRHxtB
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP92xTMTEyN
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ii1MU3Ywm
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
