Chapter 100: Cat

" Shut up tramp. " The shorty spoke and then dragged Karen away from there while pulling her hair, it seemed there was going to be a big fight." All of you, who are enjoying this show, fuck off. " Lucian spoke, and the crowd dispersed hastily.

" Sorry for the inconvenience, some people won't listen no matter how much we try to explain. " One of the doctor walked in front of Lucian, and apologized.

" It's fine since it's not your fault, but for causing me so much trouble I am sure you are going to give me a big discount, right? " Lucian spoke with a smile.

" D- Discount? Yes, we will give a discount as an apology. " Then the doctors and nurses walked away, leaving only one middle aged nurse there.

" Are the results of her tests out? Is she fine? " Lucian questioned.

" Aside from those injuries and malnutrition, she didn't have any hidden injuries or disease.

But it seems she have gone through quite a lot, which had a negative impact on her mental health so she is... you know, not that healthy mentally and whether she is awake or asleep, she always seems to be in pain.

She isn't talking at all, so in conclusion her mental health is very weak therefore be careful around her. Also she can be discharged whenever you wish. "

The nurse spoke as she looked at the little girl who had turned into a small ball, with pity.

" Yes I understand, I'll be careful, thank you. " Lucian nodded then the nurse walked away as she released a sigh.

Lucian pushed the door open and walked into the room, he stood beside the girl and just looked at her for a few seconds.

' But what exactly am I supposed to do here? Yes the decision to send her into an orphanage was the best after all. ' he thought. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[ No it probably isn't, try talking to her. ]

Releasing a sigh, Lucian sat down on one corner of the bed and tapped the girl's shoulder with his finger but there was no response, so he again tapped over her head but the little girl still didn't react.

" Hey are you okay? " Lucian spoke, she looked so small, even her hands were tiny.

He gently moved her hand away from her ear and asked again: " Are you okay? "

Now, she finally noticed him and slightly opened her eyes then she glanced towards Lucian, after which she opened her eyes and turned her face to look at him properly.

"..." Lucian just sat in front of her, giving her time to calm down, then he asked in his mind:

' What's her name? '

[ Her name is Teresa, and Jackie used to call her Tess. ]

"..." Tess stared at Lucian with her big watery eyes, then she sat up slowly and with the sleeve of her shirt she wiped her tears off.

In a low voice, Tess spoke: " B- Brudder? "

" Uh... No, I am no- " Lucian was about to refuse but immediately tears welled up in her eyes and she was about to cry.

' Why is she calling me brother? And isn't she already six or something, why is she talking like that? ' Lucian asked, as he paused mid sentence.

[ Just like that nurse had said, her mental health is not good so probably she is misunderstanding you for her brother. And she had stayed alone for most of her life, so her speech is not that developed yet. ]

" Yes I am your brudder, Tess. " Lucian spoke, as he patted her head.

" Brudderrrrr!! Sob sob T- They wocked me i- in...sob " Tess immediately jumped up and wrapped her small arms around his neck, then she began to cry loudly and complained about Ron and John.

" Oh, they locked you up? Don't worry I'll beat them up both, they will never hurt you again, okay? " Lucian spoke while gently caressing her back.

' Why is she so cute? Aren't children supposed to be annoying, she is like a cute little cat. ' he thought, while she continued to sob and tremble.

" Are you hungry? "

" Sob Mhmmm "

Tess nodded her head over his shoulder, she was standing with her face buried into his neck, the shirt she was wearing reached down to her ankles, still in such a dirty and over sized shirt she looked adorable.

" What did you say, I didn't hear that. " Lucian asked again, as he pulled her away and looked at her face then he wiped off the tears from her cheeks.

" T- Tess is h- hungwy. " She spoke while trying not to cry, her cheeks puffed up like a squirrel.

' Sigh She is the cutest thing I have ever seen, maybe taking care of her might not be a bad idea. ' Lucian thought, as he spoke:

" Okay, then let's get out of this place, we will eat something very delicious, okay? " After he spoke Lucian picked her up in his arms.

" Owkay sob brudder. " Tess spoke and just placed her head over his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Lucian decided to get her discharged, so he walked out of the room as he thought:

' I need to do the paperwork to become her legal guardian right? Hmm, I don't think that will be a problem, but I am still not sure if I can really take care of her properly. '

[ She is quite similar to you in some aspects, she is born with an ill fate, so she easily gets in trouble. And since the moment she was born, she had faced a lot of misfortune.

Her parents died not too long after her birth so Jackie had to take care of her and even earn money, that's why she was alone in most part of her life.

Still, everyday was like a nightmare for her, she went through things like the cupboard incident on a daily basis, and now she is completely alone.

Even though death in not chasing her like it did to you, but even in the future she still won't have it that easy, her life will be filled with tragedies. ]

' It will be fine then, I'm already dealing with someone who is called cursed and brings bad luck for everyone around her, and I have a bone to pick with fate anyway. '

As he spoke, Lucian noticed that Tess has already fallen asleep in his arms, and a little drool leaked out from her mouth over to his shoulder, she looked calm now.

Then Lucian met with the nurse and got Tess discharged, after which he walked out of the hospital, it was already around 1 in the afternoon, first he decided to go to a hotel.

Taking his mobile out, Lucian checked the locations of all the hotels around but then he noticed how Tess was dressed.

" I think before anything, she needs some new clothes. " Lucian mumbled, so he looked around to see if there were any shops around.

" Ah there are several cloth shops in this street, hmmm hmmm okay that one looks good. "

Lucian mumbled to himself as he looked over the shops present there, then he chose the one which looked better than the others and seemed to have clothes even for kids.
