Westley carried Star in his arms and walked into the bathroom. On the other hand, Gabrielle simply went downstairs to help Sophie prepare breakfast.
After some time, Westley came down with Star in his arms. Concern formed in Gabrielle's mind when she saw the sight of Star.
Thus, she hurried over to Westley and asked, "Westley, why did you bring Star down?" After all, Gabrielle felt that Star needed some quiet time to rest peacefully, given his current situation. So it was not a smart idea for Westley to suddenly bring this little boy downstairs.
"I've checked Star's wounds, and it is okay for him to bear some slight movement. I've also asked Star's opinion. He also wanted to come down and have a look, so I carried him down. I'll place him on the sofa so that he can lie down and relax comfortably. It's really fine." As Westley said this, he gently carried the boy to the sofa and put him down.
However, Westley's words did not make Gabrielle feel less concerned, nor did they ease her worries for Star.
"Star, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable or pain?" Gabrielle asked Star worriedly.
"Mom, I'm fine." Star gave out a confirmation with a very calm smile on his face, but it didn't change the fact that he still looked a little weak in Gabrielle's eyes.
"It is good that you are fine."
Yet, knowing that Star was willing, Gabrielle felt less worried and exhaled a sigh of relief.
Star used his little brain to try to come up with an English sentence and said, "Mom, our home is so beautiful."
"This is also your home. It is good as long as you like it," Gabrielle responded as she stretched out her hand and gently touched Star's head.
"Woof, woof, woof..." Blackboo ran in excitedly from the outside, and when it saw a completely unfamiliar presence, it barked defensively.
"A dog?" Star turned in the direction of the sounds, and as soon as he saw the sight of a dog, he grew excited and happy to see it.
Just then, a vague memory flashed through his mind, and he recalled he had seen such a big dog before. But he couldn't pinpoint when or where he saw it.
Then he realized that he couldn't even remember who he was. So, how could he remember a dog?
"Star, don't be afraid. It's called Blackboo, and it's our dog." Gabrielle comforted Star in a hurry.
When Star heard Gabrielle's words, he immediately shook his head, indicating that he was not afraid of the dog. On the contrary, the emotions in his eyes even showed that he liked this dog very much.
"Black... Blackboo?" Star spoke out the name seriously.
"Blackboo, this is Star. Don't bark at him again, understand?" Gabrielle took the chance to teach Blackboo a lesson seriously.
Blackboo was very alert to strangers, which Gabrielle was pleased with. After all, Blackboo was very loyal to this family.
"Woof!" Hearing what Gabrielle said, Blackboo immediately let out an obedient bark.
"All right, Blackboo. You and Star are good friends now." Gabrielle continued to put this new information in Blackboo's head for it not to act aggressively towards Star again.
"Woof!" It seemed that Blackboo also understood what its master said since it let out another obedient bark.
"Star, Blackboo is your sister. It will protect you from now on." Pleased with Blackboo's response, Gabrielle said this to Star as she rubbed his head.
"Okay."
On the other hand, a car from the Morris' Mansion drove into the house from outside.
"Mr. Morris and Mrs. Morris. Mrs. Miley Morris asked the butler to send something here," Sophie hurried in and reported.
"What is it?" Gabrielle was a little curious. Thus, she glanced at Westley and asked, "Westley, what did you say to grandma?"
"I didn't say anything. We'll know when we go out and have a look." Westley was also confused by the sudden situation. He didn't understand why Miley had sent the butler to deliver something to them early in the morning.
When the two of them arrived at the yard, the butler of the Morris' Mansion came over and said, "Mr. Morris, Mrs. Morris, this is the gifts your grandma prepared for you. She asked you to take it with you to the Jones family for the regular visit."
