Seventh Hundred and Fifty-Seventh Chapter: Sherron

...

When Wendy entered the medical center with a box of dinner, she saw Nana's father, Tigu Pine, talking to a man and a woman. Then the two bent over and tried to kneel, but were stopped by Viscount Tigu. After a stalemate, the two had to bow several times before leaving, looking back every few steps.

After they disappeared at the gate, Wendy walked over and asked, "Who are they?"

"Who else could they be, that little brat's parents." Tigu shrugged. "They were worried about their child being alone in the medical center and asked if they could take her home. But after learning that it was His Majesty the King's intention for her to stay here, they immediately changed their tune and thanked him profusely for his care." When he said the second half of the sentence, his tone was somewhat regretful, yet filled with pride.

Wendy couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think everyone can be like you, daring to break into the lord's castle for their daughter?"

She knew what he was regretting—presumably in the viscount's eyes, even if it was His Majesty's request, he shouldn't easily hand over his daughter. Back when Nana awakened, Tigu went straight to Roland's castle without even preparing a visiting letter. Luckily, the Fourth Prince himself was magnanimous and didn't intend to pohài witches at all, which turned the story into a tale of praise. Otherwise, if it had been Duke Lyne's or a great noble's mansion in the West, Tigu would have suffered greatly.

Although this incident happened before Wendy arrived in Border Town, she had heard Nightingale tell it many times, so she naturally understood where Tigu's pride came from.

"Compared to Asha's parents, they are already much better." Thinking of this, Wendy sighed softly.

Similarly, when their daughter awakened as a witch, Asha's family only thought of the gold dragon's reward, eagerly sending their daughter to the door and ordering her to comply with His Majesty and the Witch Union's every request, completely treating Asha as a commodity to be sold. If it weren't for the gold dragon being directly handed to them, this family probably wouldn't even allow Asha to live at home.

It was because of this completely different attitude that, after Asha became familiar with her sisters, she gradually became accustomed to living in the Witch Building's ziyou life, and the number of times she went back home became less and less.

As a witch, she was lucky.

But as a girl, her parents had abandoned her.

"That's true," Tigu nodded. "One of them works in the furnace area, and the other is a handyman in the construction team. They only found out about the news after a day's work, and ran over without even eating dinner. At least from their expressions, you can tell that they still care about that little brat."

"It seems my box of dinner wasn't brought in vain," Wendy smiled. "Can you take me to see Sherron?"

"Of course, please come with me," Tigu stroked his beard.

...

Although the expanded medical center had set up patient living areas according to His Majesty's requirements, very few people actually needed to be hospitalized. Nana and Lily almost handled all the illnesses in Neverwinter, and most patients only needed to wait in the hall for a while to recover and leave.

The main reason for keeping Sherron in the medical center overnight was to prevent accidents from happening—after all, the influence of the church had not been completely eliminated, and it was unknown whether immigrants from all over Graycastle had accepted the idea that "witches and ordinary people can coexist peacefully." But now it seems that at least Sherron doesn't have to worry about being poisoned by her family or being homeless.

Arriving in front of a ward in the residential area, Tigu opened the door and waved to his daughter, who was趴at the bedside, "It's time to eat, chat with your friend later."

"Aren't we eating together?" Nana asked in surprise, then she saw Wendy. "Sister Wendy, you're here too."

"Yes," Wendy patted the lunch box with a smile. "I brought her dinner."

"I see," the little girl suddenly realized. "Then you guys talk first, I'll come later." She said goodbye to Sherron and left the room with her father.

Wendy walked to the bed, placed the lunch box on the cabinet, and turned to meet the "patient" who was scrutinizing her with a curious look, "How does it feel to become a witch?"

The girl had ten

分striking short hair, the color was like roses that had just grown buds, which was quite rare in Graycastle. Her features had not yet fully developed, and she looked a little immature, but as her magic awakened, the witch's appearance would gradually improve. Wendy could already imagine her outstanding appearance after she grew up.

"I feel like there's something more in my body... Nana xiaojie said it's magic." Sherron pursed her lips. "Are you a witch too? Is it always painful the first time?"

"That's right, you can call me Wendy," although it sounded a bit ambiguous, she knew what the other party was referring to. "As for the second point, the answer is not necessarily... but that's not important, as long as you learn how to use it, magic is a part of your body, no different from your hands and feet." Wendy opened the iron box and placed the steaming food on the bedside table.

Sherron swallowed hard twice, and her stomach made a series of gurgling sounds at the same time.

Her face flushed instantly.

"Are you hungry?" Wendy smiled and brought the Bird Kiss Mushroom soup to the other party.

Several green onions floated on the light huangsè soup, and circles of oil shimmered in the light of the stove. Compared with the bland vegetable soup, the almost smellable meat and fresh soup were particularly tempting.

Based on His Majesty's past practice of holding banquets whenever he met new witches, she had also learned the skill of stabilizing people's hearts with delicious food.

Sherron nodded vigorously twice.

"Drink some soup first to warm your stomach, then eat something else." Wendy said softly.

Looking at the little girl's ravenous appearance, even she felt a little hungry.

"Where's your partner? Has she gone back already?"

"I don't know... I guess so," Sherron said as she ate.

"She didn't come to see you?" Wendy asked in surprise.

"No..." The girl shook her head. "After all, I'm from the Southern Territory like those who bullied her. She probably doesn't completely trust me yet?"

"Wait," Wendy couldn't help but be stunned. "You're from the Southern Territory?"

"Yes," she put a piece of Bird Kiss Mushroom in her mouth. "Maple Flower Town, a small town near Eagle City... but now it's no longer habitable."

"I always thought you and her were immigrants from the East," Wendy said in surprise. "That's why you helped her."

"Can't people from different places do that?" Sherron blinked and replied seriously, "The nobles' disputes obviously have nothing to do with her, those guys just wanted to find someone to mess with. It has nothing to do with where you were born, what's wrong is wrong, if I hadn't stood up at that time, no one would have been able to correct this mistake."

Wendy was stunned for a long while before she came back to her senses.

Perhaps your worries are superfluous, Your Majesty, she thought, this child doesn't need my comfort.

Her eyes clearly expressed this point—she was absolutely certain of her choice.
