Chapter 36 - Meet Eliot

Shutt!!

It was then that the time suddenly turned to noon, which of course made Aidan quite surprised. But in the end, he realized that the territory he was currently on was a completely different territory from the one they were in before, and that was why they were currently at noon.

Aidan turned to Lucas who was walking ahead of him, towards a house on their left. Of course, Aidan followed Lucas' footsteps and walked behind him, because he didn't know the area and didn't want to be separated from Lucas who knew very well where they were at this time.

Lucas stopped and stood right in front of the door of the house, then he knocked on the door three times until finally the door was opened by a small child who immediately screamed with joy when he found out who had come.

"Lucas!!!!" That's the sentence that was shouted by the boy, enthusiastically the boy jumped and hugged Lucas who could only laugh at the scream and got a hug that was given by the boy suddenly.

While Aidan, who was standing behind Lucas, was quite surprised to see the reaction of the little boy he saw. He also had a suspicion that Lucas and the little boy had a close relationship, and were not strangers.

Not long after, Aidan found another small child emerged from inside the house. The child looks even younger than the child who is now hugging Lucas. The little boy who looked so adorable to Aidan ran over to them while calling out Lucas' name over and over.

"Lucas… Lucas!!" The call from the boy made Lucas and the boy let go of their embrace. Lucas who saw it smiled and immediately picked up the little girl who was now smiling widely at him.

Without Aidan realizing it, at this time the boy who had opened the door for them was staring at Aidan who was focusing on paying attention to the interaction of his brother and Lucas at this time.

"Who is he Lucas?" a question that was asked by Sam at that time made Lucas now remember and turned to the side to look at Sam who was now looking at Aidan. Aidan could only give an awkward smile to Sam who was staring at him.

"He is Aidan, the healer I was looking for yesterday." The words that Lucas said to Sam at that time made Sam now smile very kindly at Aidan who was confused by Sam's rapid change in attitude.

"Lucas, come on in! There's no one at home except Daisy and me." Take Sam to Lucas and Aidan. Lucas, who had guessed it, just nodded his head and looked briefly at Aidan, as if he was also inviting Aidan to enter the house.

Lucas was still holding Daisy when he entered the house because Daisy kept hugging him tightly as if she missed Lucas so much and didn't want to let Lucas go.

"Where are your parents?" A question asked by Aidan at that time, made Sam turn to look at him and then say casually,

"They're at work right now, but they'll be home tonight!" Sam replied to Aidan who was now frowning and immediately turned his head to look at Lucas as if he was asking for an explanation about the two small children his parents left behind to work.

Lucas, who understood Aidan's gaze, finally explained, "They are guarded by a Nanny." After hearing Lucas' explanation, Aidan finally nodded in understanding. He also became less worried about the two children.

But the absence of Nanny that Lucas explained made Aidan ask again, "Then where is she now?" And that question made Lucas realize Eliot's absence, and asked Sam who was busy playing on his cell phone at the time.

"Sam!" Lucas called to the boy, which made Sam now turn to look at him. Lucas then continued his question which he would ask, "Where is Eliot??" Lucas asked Sam who was now smiling and replied,

"He's on his way here, Lucas... You know he's slow..." Sam said to Lucas who chuckled at that and nodded his head remembering that. Meanwhile, Aidan, who heard it, couldn't understand the attitude of the caregiver who took care of the two children, which turned out to be working slowly.

"Alright… There's no harm in coming early, right??" a question that was asked by Lucas also made Aidan now nod his head and sit on the sofa, the place where Lucas is currently sitting.

Even though Aidan didn't understand why they had visited this house. But he was sure that Lucas had other intentions than just visiting the house at this time.

…

About thirty minutes they waited, a knock on the door was heard and made both of them turn to look at Sam who is now quickly running towards the main door and then opened the door. Aidan frowned as three other small children entered the house, and then looked surprised to find himself and Lucas sitting in the living room at the time.

"Lucas!!" A shrill call from the fat boy who was now smiling and jumping for joy at that moment made the other two children turn their heads and shout with joy as if they had known Lucas before.

"Ehei… I could already guess if you guys would come!" Lucas said to the three who were now walking quickly towards Lucas and then hugging him in turn, the gaze of the slightly skinny boy there now turned to look at Aidan who then turned his gaze to Sam as if he was asking about who Aidan is now and that was enough to make Aidan was uncomfortable and became uncomfortable about it.

"The healer Lucas was looking for!" said Sam in response to that gaze, which immediately made the three of them chuckle in admiration looking at Aidan who was awry because of it, realizing that Aidan looked confused, Lucas laughed and then changed the topic by saying,

"Ah… how was your game playing?" a question that was asked by Lucas, made them now become distracted and now smiled and started talking about the games and also the scores they each got.

Aidan couldn't do anything at this point but stay silent and listen to their conversation, and ten minutes later, the door opened and revealed a beautiful girl carrying groceries while saying,

"Sam! Are you hungry??" that's the question that the beautiful girl asked, but when her eyes looked at all of them, the look that was shown was now surprised and then smiled with joy as she called out Lucas' name. Just as the children called him.

"Lucas?! oh my god! You're back!!" that was what the young girl said, which made Aidan finally realize that the girl was that slow Nanny.

"Hey, Eliot." Lucas greeted Eliot, looking very, very pleased as if he'd just gotten a thousand dollars on the highway.

…

Right now, in the living room, there were only Aidan, Lucas, and also Eliot. Meanwhile, the children are currently playing in the garden after Eliot had previously prepared dishes and spread cloth behind the house to serve as a kind of small picnic for them.

Eliot's gaze was currently looking at Aidan and back at Lucas and now Eliot was saying, "So… he's the healer??" Eliot asked Lucas, and Aidan quickly cleared his throat and held out his hand as he said,

"I'm Aidan, nice to meet you!" Aidan said to Eliot who was now smiling and nodded then grabbed his outstretched hand to shake each other.

"Eliott!" said Eliot with a very charming smile, as if he was trying to get the attention of both Aidan and Lucas right now.

"You're a healer… So… can you also treat the loneliness in my heart, Aidan??" a teasing question that Eliot threw to Aidan at that time made Lucas chuckle and then shook his head as he said,

"Eliot… please, sober yourself up for now." the words that Lucas said at that time, made Eliot now turn to look at him and then nod his head and now turn to focus on Lucas.

"What's wrong, Lucas?" Eliot asked Lucas who was now exhaling and then saying,

"Actually, I still have other duties and am looking for some more people like me. However… I have a problem here." Lucas said to Eliot who originally nodded his head, but now his forehead wrinkled, and then said,

"Constraint??" Eliot asked Lucas who now nodded his head and then said,

"That's why I came here… I need your help, Eliot." Lucas said to Eliot who looked surprised and happy because it turned out that Lucas had come for him at this time.

"I?! so… you came here to see me?!" Eliot asked sounding very happy, which made Aidan try to hold back his laughter, while Lucas nodded his head to convince Eliot that this was the one Lucas was looking for it right now.

"Okay… I see, now… what's the problem?? do you feel if I can help you like that??" Eliot asked Lucas who nodded his head again and Eliot cheered happily.

Lucas' eyes now turned to Aidan which made Aidan know if he needed the emblem they got, which finally made Aidan take out the small blanket and then give it to Lucas.
