Chapter 78: A chance encounter [2]
Kayden furrowed his brows, confused, he asked away, "A noble family? Who are you referring to?"
Azrael stared at his cousin for a while. It’s already been days after he and Knox parted, yet there was still no news about his identity. Did Chairman Nathaniel chicken out and decide to keep Knox hidden instead?
He frowned imagining Knox’s disappointed face. Knox never said it but he looked happy after knowing that the chairman came and carried him.
Azrael stood and spoke as he made his way to the door, "It’s nothing. Anyway, I’m going." He made his way down the corridor before the doctor could say another word. He passed the garden and stopped in his tracks after bumping into someone.
"Ow!"
Looking down, Azrael found a kid on the floor. He fell on his back and the contents of his small opened bag scattered. Candies along with some crayons and one thin coloring book rolled out.
"Mister, why don’t you look your way?!" the kid’s head was lowered as he was picking the crayons. But somehow, Azrael found his black curly hair and his reprimanding voice familiar.
He crouched and started picking the candies, but his hands were pinched instead, "That’s mine. Don’t take it!"
The kid lifted his head and glowered at him cutely. Azrael smiled after confirming that it was indeed the kid he met before. Then, he puckered his lips and defended, "I’m not taking it. I’m helping you pick it. Why are you accusing me already? Didn’t your parents tell you not to judge others easily?"
Knoa’s eyes widened. It seemed that he wasn’t aware that what he did was bad, so he quickly nodded his head and explained, "Papa did! Papa did! But before! Someone took Knoa candy without a permit!"
Azrael faked his shock and gave the kid a sympathetic look, "What?! Then, what did you do? You should tell him to the cops!"
