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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTb5RLMGdV
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9YEyKYgkT
"Kaven,"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubiZPLVw5
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeiBGAjke1
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxd5opLqyS
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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uZTLGNyZU
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkLxkg8IvU
"You're asking about me?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21I8bzBe5F
The boy nodded.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0r9oZ7dJJ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJWEHWqfgC
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUuXx7tB6A
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfmm6Y7a7
He shake his head.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6tSCGSXrO
"You're not alright?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg9E0ALIao
"Alright...now."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMIYdGTsLe
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjPlnpuELP
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMiJRwPHKk
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaupAU3JrxK
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!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51h7tP3DNg
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9xGVfQu9
"That...stupid...and hey..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgHWDMkCiM
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1htjSraV3
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rw0KQ1leL
"What?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOcizz0gg1
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZQkcwx5Bw
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUstvD0wCu
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?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrawFQJXOB
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVzc1zupO4
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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jrlZGnH5k
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1QTbtfvx
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?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJcco1qSUO
"Ah! I know...I know..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbDrSkxvc2
Thank God!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9rvpqf1Bm
"I'm seven...seven years old."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkGUEHBwQQ
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7xZiNi6wg
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiivXugCU7
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKka1pmKSp4
Just who is your parents????????????????????
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL2HoFbrAm
"Oh hell..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpPKFldlR6
"M'lady!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroBp0Ej7qy
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9jsnwJ9VW
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYZ0YI1Z24
"M'lady?" He said.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztNIAhHXAr
Both of them look at him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzzUtvHL0p
"Your name is...m'lady?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL12GiXuBrN
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqCl4f8pN
"Title?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaWxZD1w7O
"You're familiar with nobility?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE8CcSm5G8
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OQDBBHxrc
Good. He understand a little.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcYwwxP8mG
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmJSHE6DAG
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xT2uSQFWQ
"What the hell...no!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QZ88gNOlM
"M'LADY!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdBGtsiTyy
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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4KMJYJ6NC
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr7nOXeDJC
"M'lady, what are you..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c0F6Nzfqd
"You heard me,"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIBd2qArGa
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZilPKpP0y2
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBstowre4
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ5jwnpzno
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP1LscfWCL
"I'm Joe."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6AVQXz8ad
"...And I'm father, from now on."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNohXiWEOM
"Father?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qR1g8Xe6o
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wYIcZzBI
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24rfrNnkhX
"Like...parent?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXVl5tovj
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPoa4nD3mT
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ731b7yQxQw
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGdufHnWd0
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpTGBfbhnd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BwvjPcKp
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
