"Personally, Your Highness, I think this boy had an amazing pain tolerance because of abuses he experienced before. You should treat him well, or it might also affect his mental state in the future."
The doctor bandaged Little Jean's hands and then excused himself, leaving oblivious Little Jean and distressed Duke Maximillien alone.
Little Jean stared at his big brother, who looked so concerned for no reason. He jumped out from the sofa and then walked towards his big brother with his small legs.
He realized that his hand had been fully bandaged, so he couldn't grab his big brother's trousers. So he hugged his big brother's leg instead.
"Big brother, is something wrong? Jean wants to help you!"
Maximillien's heart quivered when he lowered his head, staring at the thin but beautiful little boy who hugged his leg, depending on him as if he was the best human on earth.
