Harry's POV:
After disconnecting the call, Joanna came closer to me with a calm expression and said, "The boy's mother just called."
She studied the little boy on the bed, who was still unconscious, and frowned slightly, seeming to be slightly worried.
The little boy was very cute, but right now, his entire body was wrapped in gauze and he looked like a mummy, which emphasized just how badly he was injured.
I couldn't help but grumble, "The kid's parents are so irresponsible. How could they leave a kid out there alone? If we hadn't happened to pass by at the right time, he would have surely died. When his parents arrive here, we must make them promise that this can't happen again."
"This child's mother said that he had sneaked out. His mother didn't know about it before, and they belong to the border pack. The border is far from here. No one would expect their kids to secretly follow them," Joanna glanced at me and said softly.
I scoffed, not believing the mother's reason. "She is just making an excuse. Even if she's telling the truth, that only makes her a terrible mother! I mean it's a kid, not a hamster. How could his mother not notice that he was following her? It is a long journey, so she should have brought her kid with her anyway! It must have taken her at least ten days to get here and get back. How could she stay away from her kid for so long? I will definitely not do such a thing!"
When I would become a father, I would take my children with me everywhere. I wouldn't leave them at home.
The boy lying in bed looked to be only four or five years old, but he was determined and brave.
Joanna didn't respond. She tugged her hand out of mine and sat on the edge of the bed to tuck the little boy in.
I also got my indignation under control and silently watched Joanna fuss over the little boy. She was very gentle now, not as cold as she was in front of others.
My heart twitched and I felt a little sad.
Five years ago, when Sylvia just left, everyone in the empire labeled her a traitor.
