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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMESmrh1l6k
Sloan called the physician's name, Kaven.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksOXnbaur8
"Kaven,"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d3EvsI0Nm
"M'lady? Oh, m'lady, you're here..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX94kHKi00
Sloan nodded. "Is he...alright?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k460svAoO
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."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16CGnHCKKR
Sloan looked at the child. He looks alright now compared seeing him yesterday with the horrible condition. He just stared at her.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSfCu4Zl4D
"You're asking about me?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ073vIwbhDP
The boy nodded.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0P9KfnOR
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtLb2Wz6e
Sloan sat at the chair beside the bed and asked him. The boy stared at her.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDPq3Wzfj1
"Are you alright now? 'You scared of anything?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGbm4DvU54
He shake his head.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jsDfAlbr2
"You're not alright?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTZNLUfrfz
"Alright...now."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQjxdxx9E2
"I see. Do you...do you have a name? What do they call you?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVhPodI0uD
"Stupid...stupid boy...hey...is my name."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOQH6GlPo3
Kaven and Sloan's face paled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnGVKtkayW
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!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRDXU5Z2PO
"Uhm, no, that's not a name, alright?" Sloan carefully explained. "I mean, your mum, what your mum call you before...alright?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhwYYvXuq5
"That...stupid...and hey..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJd247Zzx
Sloan has childhood problems, but this is crueler than she thought, having not a suitable parents for a child. So terrible.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IekSiApuu
"Uhm, m'lady?" Kaven called.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbNjdxaDH
"What?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9mOU0th2d
"What if...you gave him a name instead?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wBsInBqSt
"Me?" Sloan was astonished. But then she looked at the boy.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgM2jGOANH
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?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75DvgVm4Js
The boy blinked for about five times before he nod his head. "Okay..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f2wcArdvH
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."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJUQ9zbK0g
The boy nodded. "Joe..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuCIT2KGTS
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?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWaOKXI79
"Ah! I know...I know..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDeXBSuzx
Thank God!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxFlTcdgLa
"I'm seven...seven years old."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bskDYbIGc
Once again, Kaven and her face paled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdPyOsyuB
Is it certain? Is he really sure and not just confused?
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDhHCCR6Yr
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8nQ15RifR
Just who is your parents????????????????????
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXx3HWzDVI
"Oh hell..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2oSFOHsji
"M'lady!"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuMHSOr0QE
"I'm sorry! I was just...ugh, let me calm down."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24CSUfFazm
Joe was confused, looking at the beautiful lady infront of him.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyBswmczRL
"M'lady?" He said.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzBxjjeX3
Both of them look at him.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UcixhGFvw
"Your name is...m'lady?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWWpFHCHQQ
Sloan shake her head. "That is not, Joe. My name is Sloan. He's just calling me that name because of a title."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLns3ouXBF
"Title?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudInyTuMxo
"You're familiar with nobility?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRrHFuftY
Joe think for a moment. "Like the Countess?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mrt9erHZ5
Good. He understand a little.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80anrcfsi
"Yes, and my father...I may say, was only on the lower nobility. We're nothing like the countess. They're higher than us,"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nPslBu57
Joe nodded. "Will I...Will I come back to the countess?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDrDuXjqtJ
"What the hell...no!"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71YgADhwR4
"M'LADY!"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1316DyjVH
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."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3zSAJYaSR
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K18PUYZs8
"M'lady, what are you..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47XdAell1
"You heard me,"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28l9AqnYUx
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIofoE7qvm
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefhFUVjr8H
Sloan, on the other hand, saw this coming, she was glad.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPC9p4FTZ0
"Joe, right?" Shae asked. Joe had to look up real hard because Shae was too tall.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhf8vkfk2
"I'm Joe."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hgm21uaS8
"...And I'm father, from now on."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLrmQ47vY
"Father?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9XaCFyFPt
Shae offered his hand. Joe flinched.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BoYrbez0Y
"I'm not going to hurt you, and yes, I'm father..."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYzX0sg75
"Like...parent?"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzemeDkF98
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIBLIzOckR
She could only hope the best for Joe and her father.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhqTfkK4N
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC818vMDwo
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGi0oSNuEo
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDgsXeM4TN
She don't know. She's just existing waiting for some things to happen.
