Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 2126

"Take me with you." The boy's tone sounded determined.

Baby Zetty said, "Oh, my good grandson, just stay here."

The young man looked around and saw that there was no one around them. Then, he brazenly placed his mouth close to Baby Zetty's ear and called out, "Sis Zetty, if you don't take me with you, I'll expose your identity to these men."

Baby Zetty stared at him in a daze and raised her fist t o punch him in a huff. "How did you find out, stupid boy?!"

"Try and guess." The young man took her belongings and walked forward while holding her hand. Then, he said, "I'll take you to where the boats are."

The roads were getting more and more rugged. Plus, Baby Zetty’s bodily functions had deteriorated with age, so she said to him in agony, "What kind of roads are we walking on?"

The boy smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry. The road is rugged, but it's the safest here!"

Only when he had helped Baby Zetty onto a bamboo raft and they drifted farther away from the village did Baby Zetty finally believe the boy's words.

She stood in front of the bamboo raft, looking at the young boy who was steering behind her while asking suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The young boy said, "Sis Zetty, don't you remember me anymore? It's me, Gale. Gale Quinn."

The scene of Baby Zetty's first encounter with Gale immediately appeared in her mind.

It was more than two years ago. Mister had asked her t o do a house call, and the young boy's father had run u p to her while holding the boy in his arms. The father broke down crying while saying, "Little lady, please save my child. He’s about to die."

Baby Zetty walked up to Gale. She remembered that h e had been so thin and small at the time. His facial complexion had been so sallow and dull, showing nothing but fatigue.

Baby Zetty had diagnosed Gale as severely malnourished, but Gale’s father told Baby Zetty that he had never deprived his child of food. Everything they had in their house was for him, so how was it possible that Gale was still suffering from severe malnutrition?
