The child clinging to her, Hyuen watched with a critical gaze. So many things passed through his mind.
For one, is the child, not the malnourished girl who held him.
When they took him away he cried and screamed for hours without pause at first it was perhaps the boy had been sick and with various checkups it was found that he was healthy but the boy continued to cry until he coughed and gasped for breath, red in the face, refusing to eat or sleep stubborn really.
She had passed out and the only way to silence the child was for him to see and touch her. After changing her bed to accommodate a baby of seven days, they then placed him at her side and had him fed. He drank, quite a lot for a small child.
Mother had visited on the second day while she still rested looking over the child with the results from the test satisfied. She watched the girl closely and smiled.
For this woman, it was a sheer surprise to see such a smile on her face. Hyuen hadn't thought much of what happened because she had left not long after saying a few words by leaving instructions for the girl to come with the boy.
"After all, she is his benefactor and since he is attached, bring her!" Hyuen heard his mother say with a smile before leaving flanked by her three bodyguards and a somewhat flustered director.
Honestly, Hyuen was thinking of separating them but his mother's words were law so he could only comply.
The Pingui first family head wife. Who is a highly influenced figure throughout the country even spanning across the world, not many families would oppose her decision.
Not even her son.
If the girl had family after being taken in, they could at most have her visit but sadly from the time mother recognised her-
No, from the time she had saved this young cousin. This girl had given up the rights to her freedom and became the property of the pingui first family.
His gaze directly on her scrutinising her tiny form Hyuen thought to himself that she really looked like a wild thing.
With her upper lip curled in a snarl revealing her incisors a stark white against her pecan coloured skin, the boy in her arms shifted a bit as if searching sniffing, calming while she rumbled softly rubbing his back.
Was she a wild child really?
He had his doubts.
The doctor had confirmed her vocals were fine, though a bit disused. Hyuen for some reason felt extremely dissatisfied.
How dare she treat him like the enemy!
"While you slept, he was restless unless he was by your side, only because he is close to you that you will live."
With those words, Hyuen turned away from her monolid eyes squinting in annoyance and left the room. Outside he issued a command to the director, it was answered immediately. A nervous male who looked around thirty looked at him with slight fear when he opened his mouth to greet hyuen, hyuen cut him off stating his desires clearly.
"Second-"
"I will be taking both my cousin and the girl, preparing the necessary documents and sending a copy to my mother."
"Second-"
Closing the channel, Hyuen signalled to the guards discreetly, that he was leaving and for that girl to dress with what he had provided and to immediately follow.
There was no way he would have her looking less than presentable to meet the family.
Waiting around any longer will only create unnecessary problems. Hyuen spared his wristband a glance thinking he would give her the time of ten minutes for him to wait, the boy had been already cleaned and dressed not too long ago by the nurses half an hour before she had awakened.
"Have her dressed in the dress and shoes that were delivered."
He spoke to a nearby nurse, who flinched, nodded, bowed her pretty head and went to do his bidding.
In less than ten minutes the girl arrived.
He thought to himself what a little doll, her eyes those lavender eyes were clear the diamond-shaped face filled with unblemished innocence.
Hyuen thought he wanted to keep it exactly like that.
"Let's go!"
Heading to the exit Hyuen took the private elevator and exited through the reinforced glass double doors that took up more than half of the privately-owned hospital.
Outside the custom stretched limo slid into place. The driver after greeting him opened the door. Sliding in, Hyuen took his seat and watched as the girl entered holding the child close.
Those lavender eyes glistened with barely concealed wonder as she stared at the baby seat while securing the newborn.
To think this child who seemed so obedient now had been screaming himself blue up to a day ago, refusing to eat or sleep unless he was by her side. Forcing him, Hyuen the second young Master to change both the room and bed to accommodate him in order for him to be calm.
Already, Hyuen felt that this small child was his nemesis.
Is this the child born from the third family's second-born daughter?
While the girl continued to scan the interior looking at the baby seat longer than normal. Hyuen felt that he must explain in order for her to relax.
"It is made from carbon fibre and kelvar, you should be aware that the boy is not from an average family, he will be protected using all resources available." Their family had been constantly the target of assassinations for several decades. Many had fallen, leaving only a few alive. Even children born to mistresses were not even spared.
In order to continue surviving in this world, each transportation vehicle to the clothing they wore by the family members and bodyguards that surrounded them, were all protected by special materials.
There is nothing wrong with treating those who protected you better to stay safer and stay alive.
Hyuen was just fifteen years old who had a wish to be married someday. He may look mature but that was just how he is as a young man. His sight landed on the girl who nodded to him who then leaned back and closed her eyes once the child seat was twisted to face her.
Her attire was much more reasonable than the simple medical gown she wore upon entry to the private hospital.
Right now the tulle bell-sleeved, peach coloured dress, suited her complexion well. Paired with the coral coloured ankle strap low wedged shoes, of which, gave her a more domesticated look. Hyuen felt pleased by these selections of attire. Unaware that he was drawn to this tiny girl. Inwardly he gloated at his taste, selecting this dress was something he had personally done using his wristband and had it delivered, paired with the shoes she wore and the jewellery she had refused to wear. Hyuen felt that it was a pity. He felt that her natural looks would have made her look at least somewhat pretty. With the only thing, she lacks was a waterfall of silky straight hair or a wrap to enhance that even more making her pass for a little beauty at least.
"The family will want to know how you found him, how you cared for him, what happened to his mother.."
His words trailed off, her eyes were closed still, and it looked like she was resting.
Hyuen thought that this was fine for now. Either way at the house she would have limited time and if he knew his mother well enough. He was sure that this little girl will have no time to relax.
Either way, he already had an idea;
The mother in question had been the younger sister to his mother of which had been proven by the doctor present.
