Chapter 1476 - 1517: No Hugs Allowed
For this reason, even though initially the pain level of the Kinston Family’s Blood Curse was relatively mild, it was still quite unbearable for a child.
But Harper Kinston, who is now Ivy, never truly experienced the pain of the curse initially, so naturally, Kyle Kinston and Mabel Quinn hadn’t discussed the Blood Curse with their daughter. Now, due to the blood clot issue in her brain, her reactions are a bit slow, appearing foolish to others, making many expressions vague and unclear.
Amelia Foster found herself unable to ask her daughter anything useful, so she spoke briefly with the steward. The steward sympathized with Amelia Foster, as a woman who lost her husband and dragged two kids along, agreeing to the leave.
However, Amelia Foster took her daughter to the Hospital, and after some routine checks, nothing appeared wrong. The little one, though dull, seemed to be fine, showing no sign of distress, behaving just like usual.
A CT scan of her brain was taken again, and just like the one Amelia Foster had taken in their hometown County Town Hospital, no changes were found.
Finally, the doctor could only speculate that it might be some trauma after-effects, causing sudden pain sensations for the little one, but such pain was very brief and passed quickly.
Amelia Foster took her daughter back to the May residence, and at night, she seriously drew her daughter close and said, "Ivy, you must not ask Jeremiah May to hold you again, understand?"
Her eight-year-old son, Clarence Xenos, hearing this, spoke first, "Mom, what’s going on, did sis hug Jeremiah May again?"
"Yes indeed, luckily the master didn’t get mad, otherwise, truly don’t know what to do." Amelia Foster said.
But the little one still sucked her finger, not understanding what her mother and brother were talking about.
Amelia Foster had to explain again and again, only then did the little one understand, her mother was saying not to let the brother who hugs comfortably hug her anymore, and that brother was the master.
Though she didn’t know what ’master’ meant at all.
"Master brother hugs... comfortable." The little one popped her thumb from her mouth and said.
"Even if it’s comfortable, you cannot ask the master to hug you, or hug the master." Amelia Foster said earnestly, "Ivy, if you make the master angry, then we will be expelled from the May Family. Do you want to leave here?"
After a while, plus Amelia Foster elaborating more, the little one slowly began to understand. Hugging the master... would make the master angry, and if the master got angry, she, her mom, and brother would be leaving here?
The thought of leaving here made her very, very sad.
Her little head shook vigorously, "No hug, Ivy no hug... Ivy stay here with mom and brother..."
Amelia Foster finally felt comforted and patted her daughter’s head, "Alright, Ivy is good, mom just knew Ivy is a good child."
Meanwhile, Clarence Xenos lifted the little one up and said, "When Ivy wants a hug, brother will hug Ivy, brother will hug Ivy every day! How about that?"
"Okay..." The little one giggled with laughter, holding Clarence Xenos tight, kissing the cheek of the eight-year-old boy.
Watching such a scene, Amelia Foster’s eyes couldn’t help but get a bit wet, such a child; she appears just like a normal child. As long as you don’t talk complex matters to her, as long as you patiently repeat some words, she can actually understand them; she’s not truly a fool.
———It’s Tomb-Sweeping Festival today, so updates are late, I hope for everyone’s understanding~~~~Many readers worry that Ivy won’t be separated from Mabel for decades before finding her—rest assured, such things won’t happen, if it were the case, I’d write a separate side story instead of in the main text. Everything will get better, this world still holds much beauty; like Ivy who, despite misfortune, meets good ones like Amelia Foster and in the May Family, Jeremiah May. Our little Princess will have even greater happiness in the future~~~
