Chapter 14: Learning Curve.
The parents enter the medical room and Mrs. Andino sprint and pushes everyone aside to go hug her son. She holds him tightly and this makes him murmur in pain caused by the hug.
’’Mama, you’re hurting me.’’
’’That’s good. This should teach you a lesson.’’ Mrs. Andino finally lets go of him.
’’Pops, Mama. I’m really sorry, I should’ve told you guy.’’ Apollo bows as he is seating on the bed.
’’It’s fine son, the only thing that matters right now is your well-being.’’ mentions Mr. Andino.
Conrad walks in the room along with Godfrey who steps in after him. Mr. and Mrs. Andino bow as a form of greeting as he walks in, he does the same in response. With a disciplined posture he stretches his hand towards Apollo’s parents.
’’Good day Mr. and Mrs. Andino.’’
They smile at him and both of them shake his hand.
’’What well manners.’’ Mrs. Andino whispers to her husband.
’’What do you expect? He’s a prince after all.’’
Mrs. Andino looks at the bed that’s on the other side of Apollo’s bed and notices Amari quietly sitting there quietly look out the window. He is covered with bandages all over his body excluding his eyes and nose. Amari seems to be enjoying the scenery of the forest from his view, the wind that enters through the window makes it even better.
He then determines the different colors and shapes of the trees that can be seen amongst the green trees. He sees the significance of how a tree, regardless of how it looks has the same values and meanings of any other tree, but the time and way it grows could be different from one another. Strangely enough the difference of that tree could be what gives it value, what makes it special.
