Nowi smiled with relief when she saw her house come into view. 'Thank goodness.' Nowi though as she was closing in on the front door. 'At least I can get some of these injuries patched up.' When she eventually stopped at the front door, she reached down to her belt and pulled out a key and unlocked the door. She practically flew into her house, and placed the little boy gently on her sofa.

After making sure that Harry wasn't in pain from her putting him on the couch, Nowi sped towards the kitchen and to her medical cabinet. She quickly left the room and returned to the living room, seeing that Harry has yet to wake up. No matter how many times she looked at the beautiful little boy on the couch, she always felt an intense ache in her heart. She leaned down to plant a kiss on his cheek to offer some form of comfort before she began.

The first thing she decided to treat was the hateful words carved onto his back. She absolutely could not stand the fact that they were there. She wanted them gone as soon as possible. So with her first objective in mind, she opened the medical kit and took out disinfectant spray to hopefully stop the words from becoming infected. She was relieved by his lack of reaction. After that was finished, she took out the stitching needle. She took a deep breath and slowly pierced the flesh around the wound with the needle. Soon enough, the words were all stitched up, and she was content they would heal. She looked at Harry's face with concern. He did not react at all through what would make anyone else at least cringe from the pain, even when unconscious. Was he that used to pain and suffering...? It caused her heart to ache thinking about how much pain he was in living with those monsters that he didn't even wake up or make no notion of feeling the pain that any other child would have immediately made.

She sighed sadly, tearing up, then placed a hand on his tiny cheek. 'I'll make sure that you don't have to feel that level of pain ever again.' Nowi promised as she stroked his cheek. Much to her surprise, Harry subconsciously leaned into her touches, and smiled ever so slightly. She smiled and giggled slightly at the cute scene. 'Why would anyone hate someone this cute?' Nowi thought to herself. She shook her head. No time to coo over his absurd amount of cuteness. She had to fix his wounds...

She grabbed the disinfectant spray again and looked towards the scratches, bruises and burns on his torso, arms, and legs. Her shoulders slumped as she looked at him sadly. This would take a while... With a sad sigh, she began her work on his injuries.

Soon enough, she had finished fixing up all of the painful injuries the little boy had sustained. She looked at him sadly as she examined all the injuries she had to mend. 'So much wounds...so much pain.' Nowi though somberly as she placed her hand on his cheek again. Then, much to her surprise, the child's eyes snapped open. He looked straight at her and started shaking. Nowi gave him her best smile. She knew he would be afraid at first. It was a natural response after suffering alone for so long. All she had to do was be there for him, and make herself seem as friendly as possible so he knew she wouldn't hurt him.

Harry just continued to stare at her with fear, trying to find his voice. "W-Where am I?" Harry asked her.

Nowi gently scooped him up into her arms and held him close. "Shhh..." She whispered. "You're safe now..." Harry was terrified that this lady was touching him and he started to attempt to wiggle himself out of her grasp. Nowi held him tighter. "Shhh...Stop squiming, sweetheart." She said tenderly. "You don't want to make your owies hurt again, do you?" Harry immediately stopped when she said that. Then he realized that the pain he had been in had lessened significantly.

"W-why don't I h-hurt so much?!" Harry asked out loud to himself.

Nowi giggled. "Because I made you all better." She replied.

Harry looked at her in surprise and confusion. "W-Why would you h-help a freak l-like me?" Harry questioned, earning a small frown from Nowi.

"Freak? A little cutie like you? No way!" She said.

"B-but it's true!" Harry tried to argue as Nowi placed her finger on his mouth.

"No. It's not." She said gently yet firmly. "It's ABSOLUTELY not." Harry looked like he was about to argue some more but he was quickly stopped by her leaning forward and kissing his forehead. He stared at the woman in shock, and she placed her hands on his shoulders and looked at him seriously. "I don't want you saying stuff like that about yourself, okay?" She said gently. Harry quickly nodded, never letting his gaze leave her face. Nowi giggled. "It's not polite to stare." She said playfully as she poked his nose. Harry blushed and looked down.

"S-Sorry...I...I just thought you were pretty..." He admitted bashfully.

Nowi couldn't help but giggle again at his honesty. "Well, you're so adorable yourself." Nowi told him.

Harry looked down with a blush. "R-Really...?" He said softly. Nowi hugged him closer.

"Yup! You're just the cutest little cuddle muffin." She cooed.

Harry snuggled into her embrace, lost in his own thoughts. 'I can't believe that this lady is being so nice to me. Especially only meeting me.' Harry thought as he got lost in the warm embrace.

Nowi gazed lovingly at the child in her arms. 'Oh my gosh, I love him so much...He's such a cute little sweetheart...I feel like I'm gonna cry from cuteness...'

Just then, Harry looked up with questioning eyes. "W-what's going to happen to me now?" Harry asked nervously, hoping that she wasn't going to abandon him.

Nowi giggled. "I'm gonna take care of you now, silly!" She replied.

Harry's eyes widened. "W-what?! Really?!" Harry exclaimed, wanting this to be true.

"Yeah!" Nowi replied. "It'll be really nice having you around!" She felt something squeeze her midsection and looked down to see Harry hugging her, burying his face into her chest. She smiled as she wrapped her left arm around him and used her right hand to scratch the back of his head."Awwwww...I'm happy about it too, honey." Nowi cooed softly. She kissed his forehead again and held him tightly. "I'll always be here for you..." She whispered. "No matter what happens, I'll always be here..."Harry smiled, happy to know he finally had someone in his life that cared about him.

"Thank you..." He whispered softly. "Thank you so much..."

"No problem." Nowi told him, happy that she will be able to raise him the way he's supposed to be... happy, loved and free.
