“Yes, he’ll be fine.” Right then, Arielle realized the boy must have had a unique identity. Regardless, her adoptive parents' matter was more urgent, and Vinson would be fine after he made it past tonight.
With that thought in mind, she looked at the boy. “Can I ask you for a favor?”
Earlier, the boy followed her to the hospital and waited for a few hours when Vinson was in surgery. Knowing he was grateful for Vinson's help, Arielle decided to entrust Vinson to him.
“Please go ahead,” the boy answered as he stared at her with a serious look. She's pretty and speaks fluent Ustranasion.
“I need to attend to another matter, but I don't know when I'll be back. Can you please take care of Mr. Nightshire?”
“Is it dangerous? If it is, I can ask my father to assign someone to protect you,” the boy suggested as though he knew Arielle was going to a perilous place.
Arielle shook her head. If possible, she would bring her men along. Alas, her adoptive parents were in that
man’s hands, and she dared not take the risk. “No need. I can head there myself.”
A look of disappointment flashed across the boy's face when he heard she didn't need his help. I really like her.
“All right. I'll take good care of him, so don't worry. We'll be waiting for you here,” the boy looked up and promised solemnly.
Arielle patted his head before turning to leave. She headed to the Wilhelms' house alone. There was no time to imagine what would happen there.
“Wait up!” Before she could leave the hospital, a clear voice rang out to stop her. Arielle turned at her shoulder to see the boy dashing toward her.
