To tell you the truth, Angelina had expected to keep the little boy a secret for at least 3 weeks or so. The reason was quite simple actually, his injuries were very deep and severe and she wanted the child to rest until he got his strength back. So she expected that it would at least take two or three days before he regained consciousness. Another reason for the secrecy was because it would be a pain to explain everything that had happen. No one would believe her if she were to say 'A long silver headed guy just came into my room and ask me to take care of the bloody child that was about to die', yeah nope, no one is ever going to believe her. Or so she thought.
Angelina sighed tiredly. Why were her servants so diligent in their work. She's happy that they are but for the moment it only gave her a headache. She had only wanted to hide the child for awhile. Is that so much to ask?
But alas, fate has not been kind to her as of late. If only fate has a physical manifestation of its own, then she could've at least give it a bitch slap. Sigh, she really needs to find a way to reduce her stress these days.
At the moment, she was between her faithful servant and an awfully frightened boy, all bloodied and bruised. Overall, it was the type of situation that you would not want to explain, especially after working till the late hours. What did she do in her past life to deserve this?
"Madame! I apologize for the rude intrusion but may I ask where did that boy came from?" The head Maid asked. She must've came in when she hadn't answered the door for quite some time. So, how is she going to answer her now?
Angelina opened her mouth to give her a bullshit respond, but was interrupted by a horrifying scream. She gritted her teeth in response and whipped her head to the boy so fast that she might have cracked her neck. What she had witnessed was something that could pull the heartstrings of others. The little boy was clenching his head in pain so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
The head Maid was stunned by the sudden scream. She had never heard of such a painful scream coming from a boy below the age of seventeen before. Let alone ten. While the maid was in a stupor, Angelina had swiftly made her way to his side. She tried to pried his hands away from his head to prevent him from hurting himself, but his gripped on his hair was too strong. Her fear began to increase when the stitches on his face began to undo itself again, and blood came flowing out of it.
The boy was trembling, as though he was keeping something from escaping his mind. Or maybe he was actually controlling himself from exploding into madness. For a child, pain should be an unknown territory that they had to discover when they grew older. To have discovered it at such a young age could be bad for his mental health.
After a minute of examining his current situation, he began to trashed wildly. The action was so sudden and violent that Angelina had to take a few steps back while surpassing a flinch at the torturous screams.
The head Maid ultimately snapped out of her shock after realizing that her Mistress was in danger. She moved forward and grabbed Angelina's hand to drag her away from the child with an apology at the tip of her tongue for her rudeness.
Of course Angelina protested, she had to calm the boy. "Wait!" She yelled, trying to catch the head maid's attention over the loud screaming. "The boy needs my help!"
The head Maid paused. "We will send the butler to handle this situation madame. For now it is dangerous for you to be around an unstable-"
Angelina cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "No!" She yelled with much authority. "I am not leaving that child, he is my future son, so I will be the one to calm him." She said with determination. Seeing the maid's stunned look as an opportunity, she pried herself out of her grasp and made her way towards the child.
"But madame-"
"Bring me some water and cloth. Also a new attire that would fit the child," She then turned to the Maid with a steeled look. "Well? Hurry!" She ordered.
The Maid looked startled but she bowed her head in respect nevertheless and made her way out the door to bring the needed items.
Angelina turned back towards the child and gasped in horror when she saw him trying to rip his stitched face open. She hurried towards his side and grasped both of his hands tightly, preventing him from any movement.
The action only made him to trashed and squirmed even harder then before. Angelina even got punched in the stomach when she accidentally lost her grip on one of his wrist. But she wouldn't give up, she had to stop him from hurting himself.
Though the screams were enough for her to know how much pain he was in, in the first place. She held back the tears as she struggled to keep him from moving.
Suddenly, the doors opened to reveal the head Maid, two butlers and a maid. They swiftly arrange the items on a table and went to help their mistress.
"Madame, we're very sorry to have intruded into your personal quarters, but let us help you on holding the boy down." One of the butler addresses her politely with a bow.
Angelina thought for a while, but in the end conceded and gave her spot to the two butlers. Afterall, she's not strong enough to hold him for a long time. What's more, who's gonna examine his injuries if she was busy keeping him immobile. "Please be gentle..." She said softly, which got a nod from the two.
She then made her way towards the table where the items she had requested were placed. She then noticed some of her equipments beside the cloth as well. Ugh, why hasn't she thought of it before. She regarded her maid with proud eyes. They were always ready to help her when she was in need.
She took a breathe in before steeling her mind to help the suffering child. "Girls," She addressed the maids with a stern tone. In respond, they readied their posture to help their mistress. "I want you to clean his arms please. I need to see the vein in order to give him some morphine . Oh, and thank you for fetching my equipments for me, head Maid." She said and they bowed, pleased that they were able to help their mistress.
They then turned to clean the child's bloodie hand. When the Maid made her way towards the left side of the child's arm, she let out a small squeak of fear before she could stop herself. She trembled at the sight of the grotesque arm. The butler with blond hair and blue eyes, who was holding the left arm glanced at the Maid with sympathy. He was also shocked at the boy's arms. It was quite a... monstrous sight. But after seeing the boy's horrible figure, he couldn't help but to swallow the fear down and help the boy out. He was so young after all. No child should scream in pain like that, ever.
Angelina turned around when she heard the squeak, to find one ofher the maid trembling in fear. Angelina almost facepalmed herself for she had forgotten to warn her servants. But to her shock and amusement, the butler holding the child's left arm reassure the maid with a soft smile while the head Maid took her position to ease her of her fear. The maid seemed embarrassed by her previous action and reluctantly accepted to clean the right hand instead.
Angelina really does have great servants working under her. She smiled as she approached them with the syringe. She went to the right side of the child. "Thank you, Chloe. I'm very sorry for forgetting to warn you of the child's... uniqueness." The Maid blushed after remembering her previous action, she bowed in respect timidly before giving her position to her mistress. "Please hold him still."
The butlers nodded and flatten the child's arm so that Angelina had a better access to the veins. She leaned forward and insert the syringe into the child's arm and let the morphine flows into the child's body. After 10 or so minutes, the medicine finally took effects on his body. The boy's trashing decreases as time passes until the screaming had stopped and only whimpers can be heard as the child cries with silent tears.
All the occupants watched as the child eventually lost his consciousness and left for the world of dreams.
"The poor child..." The Maid commented after a few second of silent, with her hand covering her mouth in sadness.
"What could've happened to him to result in... this?" One of the butlers ask in sympathy with a pained expression.
"I don't know, but they sure are cruel to do such a thing to a child this small." The other butler said with a grimace.
"Everyone," All the servants turned to their mistress at her call. "I would like you to warn all the servants about this matter. But only the servants and no one else. I trust that you keep this a secret?"
Realizing how serious their mistress was, they nodded without hesitation.
"But madame, may we ask what you are going to do with the boy?" Head Maid ask.
"I would like to make him my son."
One of the butler thought that his mistress's wording was weird, so he pointed it out. "Excuse me madame, but did you say make him your son and not adopt him?"
Angelina smiled at his respective mind. "Yes. I would like him to officially be my son and not an adopted one. You do know how harsh this world is if someone from the higher class, like me, were to have an adopted child. They would discriminate him." She said, sadly.
The servants nodded in understanding. "Then what do you suggest we do with his backstory? I'm sure this will be a very difficult problem for you, afterall, the boy is at least at the age of ten. People will questioned his existence." The head Maid commented.
Madame red thought for a while before a wide smile appeared on her face. The servants saw this and were pleased to find that their mistress's heart was healing. "I've got an idea but I need your help in this."
The servants bowed and stimultaneously said, "We will be honoured to help our mistress."
Angelina nodded in satisfaction. She then turned to the silently crying child on the bed. "Don't worry child, we'll fix you up in no time. And then we'll be a family." She said excitedly with a hint of sadness in her tone.
