There were some scrapes on the boy's face. His fingers were also riddled with scratches.
Tobias felt bad when he saw such a tiny hand being so badly hurt.
The boy didn't squirm when he was applying medication on him. Tears were welling up in his eyes, but he held them
back.
Tobias stared at the boy. He felt like the boy looked familiar like he resembled someone he knew.
After he cleaned the children up, he tried asking some more questions, but they didn't respond.
The girl started to nod off after she had her fill of food. She fell asleep after a few minutes.
The boy was visibly tired, too, but he perked himself up and stared at Tobias.
“Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. What is your name? Did you get split up with your parents?”
The boy remained silent. He didn't want to reveal anything about himself.
Tobias sighed.

“Rest if you're tired. We'll be here for one more day. I'll help you find your parents tomorrow.”
He gave the bed to the child while he lay on the couch next to it.
The boy finally fell asleep at midnight.
The following day, Tobias woke up early in the morning and started to look for the children's parents.
Unbeknownst to him, a man snuck into his room through the window as soon as he left.
The boy opened his eyes warily. His eyes lit up when he saw the man.
"Daddy!"
“Be quiet,’ the man said as he gestured for the boy to quiet down.
The boy quickly fell silent. When he noticed the blood stains on the man's shirt, he said, "Blood."
Even though he should be at an age when he was carefree and knew nothing, the boy understood what the blood
signified.
"I'm fine. It's not my blood. They are right on our tails. We'll hide out here for a while,” the man said in a deep tone.
The boy nodded. Ever since he could remember, the man had been on the run while bringing him and his sister
along.
And the men that were after them would find them only after a few days of peace and quiet. They had adopted a
cat before, but it died before their very eyes.
Tobias looked like a good man. Maybe he could adopt them. The man patted the boy on the head and looked at him
with pain in his eyes.
"I'm sorry you two have to suffer so much because you're with me.”
The boy nuzzled against the man's palm and comforted him like a puppy.
"After we get away. I'll bring you to your mother's grave. She must miss you a lot."
A tinge of sadness appeared in the man's voice when he said that.
"You have to grow up healthily. Your mother went through hell to give birth to the two of you."

“You're so well-behaved. Your mother would be so happy if she could see you."
"Mom," the boy muttered.

The sun had just risen. Logan got a few hours of rest. He looked at the time and got up to go prepare breakfast for
Olivia.
As soon as he walked out the door, his expression became cold. He started to check his surroundings warily.
“What's wrong, Logan? You have a scary look on your face.”
One of the sailors walked past him and gave him a look. The sailor could feel goosebumps on his skin when he saw
Logan's expression.
Logan regained his composure and said, “Did anyone walk past here just now?"
The sailor scratched his head.
With a hungover expression, he said, "I didn't see anyone. It's early in the morning, Logan. Please don't scare me.
I'm very timid.”
“Nothing.” Logan waved his hand.
After he turned around, his gaze became icy again. He wasn't mistaken. It was the smell of blood.
