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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKA2W8sfE
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufTVlJSofs
"Kaven,"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZQoCgBRH
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFlvBSHhx
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qQa7I6J5G
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."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkCMQW3aQL
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd334CpiwK
"You're asking about me?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6TvSwbuT
The boy nodded.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0sWUg43Eq
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ1UE7PIKS
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvD3o6ZgQl
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zLDzPHRTI
He shake his head.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZ3aGkAZV
"You're not alright?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPVm0QXvb
"Alright...now."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILuJaEEDrO
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzdmcXZQ3P
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUT3x7tqkl
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjACqe43L
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!
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOrMSIXbM6
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ix9ApmA4I
"That...stupid...and hey..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT34ZMYj8V
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOueNmNI5g6
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aSSpaVxK9
"What?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMslKP4Z1OH
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXF67gFiHW
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhsNF3a1gy
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?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI3Uzz1rI1
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQqAcSgMGl
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."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBfWqmTjS1
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqq8Y2OWU3
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?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuOWcBnsmt
"Ah! I know...I know..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8myTjNeuX
Thank God!
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqZDwvwnK
"I'm seven...seven years old."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoRQ0vq9u2
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rtRHZeBqk
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaxvTF7Ftm
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCHFa7ygNY
Just who is your parents????????????????????
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl2dXu9WK7
"Oh hell..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbX03IwWhL
"M'lady!"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2xxEFBgMF
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctGnQ2WOYv
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQvHOqCGC6
"M'lady?" He said.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwele14Ypq
Both of them look at him.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJBKd2bzLo
"Your name is...m'lady?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92oGrvkiqT
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqjuXpUjGA
"Title?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvemQ7Nb7V
"You're familiar with nobility?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ebYBYr10
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXngGjq50ql
Good. He understand a little.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCTkIOAjX2
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xVcHVsHde
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKOIfN0Zl5
"What the hell...no!"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YNb6yn6Jd
"M'LADY!"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKchnqnJfu
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."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJTqObwlCu
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wHgDClTLO
"M'lady, what are you..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqnU0ZTJqQ
"You heard me,"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7kksneQMS
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowZBhLiTm4
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndXR3r3bIM
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFOJSOie9S
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsScKnILs5
"I'm Joe."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwomSLJlLo
"...And I'm father, from now on."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM5s0zVrXt
"Father?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rr9APoUYX
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YqjGZlNzY
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1qIuVK1yj
"Like...parent?"
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBrOPc8xgK
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36dMzi4TmT
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFxCkwUJ34
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BLaBYjnF
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1MQpqXYeN
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QbuIdRUew
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
