"What's going on here?"
Hearing the voice, both Orson and Alina turned towards the source of the voice,
When they turned, they saw a handsome man. The man had red hair and golden eyes. He had a well-built body surrounded by a powerful aura. He is Alvin Dukas, Alina's father and the owner of A&J Group.
Beside him was a beautiful woman, she had long black hair and blue eyes, she had big breasts, a curvy body, and a big ass. There was an air of comfort and softness about her. She is Elena Dukas, Alina's mother.
And behind her was a young woman with red hair and golden eyes. She had modest breasts, long legs, and a small ass. She gave off a cold vibe around her. She is Tracy Dukas, Alina's young sister. She is a teacher at Afadora Academy.
"You guys are back, but aren't you guys coming tomorrow?" Alina said after seeing them,
"We thought about surprising you," Alvin said with a smile.
"How did your trip go?" Orson asked,
"It was good, it was nice to finally relax after a while," Alvin said,
"Who's that cute boy?" Elena asked
"He is grandfather's disciple,"
Upon hearing the word disciple, their eyes widened in amazement.
"So, you finally took a disciple," Tracy said,
"Yeah,"
"Why is Mr. Rainier here?" Alvin asked as he saw Rainier sweating,
"He is treating him," Orson said,
"Treating?"
"Yeah, that kid–"
Before Orson finish his words, Rainier spits blood on the floor,
Gack!
Upon seeing that, Orson retried the artifact. As he retrieved it, he asked,
"Are you fine?"
"Yeah, but can you give me some water?" Rainier replied as he wiped his blood and sweat with his handkerchief.
"Sure,"
The butler came with a glass of water and handed it over to Rainier. Rainier gulped the entire glass down in one breath.
"Ahh!"
"Thank you," Rainier returned the empty glass to the butler.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Alvin, Mrs. Elena, and young Miss Tracy," Rainier said as soon as he saw them.
"Nice to meet you as well," Alvin said while Elena and Tracy nodded.
As they finish their greeting, Alina asked
"What happened?"
"I just overuse my power,"
"How's the kid?" Orson asked,
"Don't worry about him, he's just sleeping," Rainier replied and paused for a moment before saying,
"I apologize for not keeping my promise. I looked in his memory more than necessary."
Hearing his words, Orson said with a serious face,
"I'll accept your apology if you tell me about the memories you saw."
Rainier nodded,
"This kid went through so much pain at such a young age," Rainier looked at sleeping Andrew with pitiful eyes.
"At the age of six, he had to do chores and take beatings from his uncle, and after he turned nine, things got even worse. In addition to being beaten to death, he was raped by his aunt countless times. He wasn't just raped by his aunt, but also by her friends. They treated him like a toy."
As Rainier said these words, he became more and more solemn.
The others who were listening couldn't believe what they heard,
"Those scumbags," Alina was enraged and accidentally released her aura.
Under the pressure of Alina, the maids and butlers got on their knees,
"Alina, stop. You're hurting other people," Orson said gently, putting his hand on her shoulder.
Hearing her grandpa's voice, Alina tried to calm down. When she calmed down, she looked around and saw that both maids and butlers were on the ground sweating buckets. Seeing that, she said,
"I'm sorry,"
"You don't need to apologize, Miss Alina," one of the maids said, as others nodded in agreement.
When everything had calmed down, Orson asked.
"How is his condition? Can his emotional numbness be cured?"
"It can be cured, but for that, I need to check him once a week for the next few months."
"That's good," Alina said,
"There is also one other thing, this kid doesn't have any parents."
"But," Orson raised his eyebrows.
"I know that he said that he forgot his parents' name and face, but in reality, he never had any parents. Someone manipulated his memory, and I wasn't able to see who did it." Rainier paused briefly and continue,
"But whoever manipulated his memory was certainly an extremely strong person,"
As Rainier finished his words, the room fell silent.
'Someone who can manipulate memories? For as long as I can remember, no one can manipulate memories in the alliance.'
After contemplation for a few minutes, Orson shook his head,
'Let's first take care of the child,'
"So, what will we do while you are treating him?"
"In such conditions, there's not much we can do, the only thing we can do is create a healthy environment. In my opinion, all this child wants is love and care."
Orson nodded his head.
After looking at Andrew's condition, Rainier stand up from the chair,
"I will take my leave. Please give him the medicine I have written,"
"Alright, thank you for coming here," Orson said.
"It's my pleasure that I was able to meet you, Sir," Rainier slightly bowed and left the house.
"Father, where did you meet that kid?" Elena asked.
"I will tell you everything, but let me first take this little guy to his room."
"Sure,"
Orson carried Andrew to his room, where he laid him down on the bed with a blank covering him.
After that, Orson left the room and went to Alina and others. When he returned, Alina and the others were sitting on the couch waiting for him.
Seeing that, Orson smiled. He got near them and sat on the couch,
"You guys sure are curious, don't you?"
"Yeah, we are," all of them said at the same time.
Orson began to tell them about how he met Andrew, how he took him as a disciple, and about his scars.
A moment of silence followed after he finished telling them,
Alvin asked after pondering for a while,
"How about we adopt him?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone gasped in shock.
"Well, you always want a son. If we adopt him, then he will have a family and you'll have a son,"
"Are you sure?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, I'm. but if everyone agrees, because I don't want the kid to face any family issues,"
"I would love to have a son," Elena said with a beautiful smile.
"I don't have any complaints," Alina also said with a smile.
"The moment I took him as a disciple, he already became a member of this family. So, I also don't have any issues taking him as my grandson. I'll have another choice for the family head."
Tracy was the only person who didn't say anything, so everyone looked at her,
Feeling everyone's glance, she said with a cold expression.
"Do whatever you want,"
Tracy might have a cold expression on the outside, but from inside she was jumping in joy,
'I will have a younger brother. He'll call me big sister.'
'I'm melting just thinking about that,'
Everyone smiled when they saw her face. Despite her cold appearance, her eyes were filled with joy.
"Then it's decided, we're going to adopt him."
