"God ... Uncle Theo, it's sick!!"
The sound of Aster's screams echoed inside the all-white room. Aster is currently being handled by Theo Kim, a friend of Nathan when he was in college who now doubles as a private doctor in the Xiao family.
Theo stopped his hand movements and looked at Aster a little horror. "In fact, Uncle hasn't touched your wound at all." Her speech.
Aster looked at the wound on his stomach that was still open. "really? Hahaha, I'm panicking too much. Uncle, you know for yourself not if I'm most afraid of medical equipment let alone syringes."
"Then why are you so reckless like this? You little girl, I'd love to snap your head!!" Theo is anxious himself with Aster's attitude and mannerisms.
Aster pursed his lips. "Uncle, I'm a patient, you should treat me gently instead of nagging me like this." His speech.
"Because you deserve to be booed!!" Reply Theo.
Aster had told Theo the truth about what happened to him. Theo was shocked when he saw Aster who suddenly woke up and ran towards the door after he was in the emergency room.
Even the girl looked fine and like she was not seriously injured. Finally Theo asked for an explanation from Aster, and Aster told him everything.
And it turns out that the blood is not the blood that comes out of the wound, but the cleaning fluid that Aster found in the sink whose color and texture is similar to blood.
There was no scent from the liquid so it did not invite suspicion at all from Nathan and the others. And once examined, the wound was no longer than a grain of rice. It's not wrong if Aster is nicknamed the drama queen by Amanda, Maya and Ella. And that's a fact.
"Uncle, you should just tell Uncle Nathan that I'm very bad and the wound is deep. In order to convince Uncle Nathan if my injuries are serious, you have to sew them!!"
"But your wound is only a minor wound and there is no need to sew, Aster Xiao!!"
"Don't take it, just do it or do you really want your video to dance on the side of the road in a woman's costume, because I lost a bet to Uncle Nathan?"
Theo's eyes instantly widened. "You still have that video?" Aster nodded.
"Wanna see it? Ahh, surely Uncle wants these lovely nurse Aunts to see him huh? Okay, I'll show you!!"
"Aster, no!! Okay, I'll obey all your weird requests, but don't open my disgrace in front of other people!!"
"Deal!!"
Aster smiled triumphantly. Not to forget he also asked the two nurses in the room to work together. Aster wanted to see how panicked and anxious Nathan was after learning of his condition. Not only beautiful and clever. But Aster is also cunning.

Cklek...
Nathan immediately got up from his seat after seeing Theo come out of the emergency room. "How is he doing?" Nathan asked.
Theo took a deep breath and stopped him. "He's past his critical period. But the situation is quite alarming. He's got 10 stitches in his wound, four inside stitches and six outside stitches."
"When can I see him?"
"After he was transferred to the hospital." Theo pat Nathan on the shoulder. "Calm down, he'll be fine. Your daughter is a strong girl."
"Eh."
Theo just left Nathan. The man nodded heavily. At least now Aster is fine, and he doesn't have to worry anymore.

Aster was enjoying his meal when the door to his room opened from the outside. Hurriedly Aster put his food under the pillow then lay down and enveloped his body with a blanket. Do not forget Aster wiped his lips, afraid if there is food stuck there.
The clattering of footsteps of someone who was getting closer lodged in Aster's ears.
Aster peeked in with his eyes open, and it was Nathan. Aster hurriedly closed his eyes.
Nathan sat on a high chair beside the bed where the girl lay. Nathan grabbed Aster's right hand and grabbed it. His left eye looked at the girl.
"Aster, when are you gonna wake up, honey? Uncle prefers when you're intruding, Uncle rather than having to be like this. Get up, my daughter, and stop worrying Uncle."
Aster opened his eyes slowly. He called Nathan."Uncle, I'm awake and just closing my eyes. I'm tired, so tired." His voice sounded weak, as if he was really sick.
"Before Uncle came in. I was so tired that I closed my eyes. Uncle, I'm sorry to worry you."
Nathan shook his head. "It's not your fault, it's the woman's fault. I've taken care of him and now he's at the police station." The inner goddess Aster danced to hear Nathan's words. That means one problem he managed to solve perfectly.
"Uncle, may I ask you something?" Aster asked still in his weak voice.
Nathan nodded. "You may ask anything from, Uncle."
"Then take me home from this cursed place. I don't want to be here anymore. This place is terrible. I beg you." Whimpering begs.
Nathan grunts amusedly. "All right, we're going home tonight. You look okay, too. Uncle, will take care of his administration first. After this Uncle will come back and help you get ready." Aster nodded.
After making sure Nathan's really out. Aster hurriedly took out the food he had stored under his pillow then threw it out through the window with the origin.
And worse, the food was about the man walking down there. But Aster wouldn't think about it.
Ten minutes later Nathan returned. The man was a little confused to see Aster had already replaced the hospital pajamas with a black dress.
"The nurse came over and I asked her to help me change clothes." His word.
"Eh."
Then Nathan got up and took a wheelchair for Aster. Aster put one of his hands around Nathan's neck as the man helped him to sit in a wheelchair.
Aster's acting was absolutely perfect, to the point that Nathan was unaware that he was currently being snatched by his own adopted daughter.

They arrived home at 20:00 p.m. Granny Xiao, Gavin and Rio were already waiting for the arrival of the two of them. Maya and Ella don't show their noses.
"Nunna, we're glad you're finally home."
"Do you know how anxious and fearful we are when we get word from Uncle Nathan if you go to the hospital because someone is trying to harm you." Said Gavin and then hugged Aster.
"Nunna, don't get sick anymore. If you get sick, then who's gonna accompany us to steal the neighbor's mango."
Aster grimacing. How could Rio discuss about stealing the neighboring mango at a time like this.
But it is also laughable when Aster remembers when he, Gavin and Rio were chased by neighbors for stealing his mangoes. And that happened a month ago.
"Let your Nunna rest." Nathan then picked up Aster and brought him to the room on the second floor.

Aster pulled Nathan's arm as the man was about to leave. As a result Nathan fell right on top of his body with both hands being the foundation of his body.
His left eye was rubbed with a pair of hazel belonging to Aster. The girl smiled broadly. Aster pulled the Long Vest that Nathan was wearing, and then their lips met and clenched each other.
Nathan raised his hand and pointed at Aster's face. The man begins to dominate the kiss that Aster begins. There's no doubt, Nathan's getting bolder.
"I'm going to sleep, so can Uncle stay here with me?" Aster looked at Nathan expectantly.
The man returned Aster's gaze and nodded. "All right."
