"Hot Daddy" (Dad Raise Me, My Opium"

New Servant

"Master, this is your coffee."

Nathan lifted his face and stared flatly at the figure of the servant standing before him. His left eye is squeaking. "I've never seen you before, are you that new waitress?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, Sir. My name is Betty, and I'm the new waiter in this house."

"Hn, you can go." The waiter nodded and then left Nathan.

Nathan saw a strange gurgle from the waiter. He looks a little strange and a little suspicious.

Somehow he had a bad feeling about her. Then Nathan recalled Aster's words last night, if he hurt the neck and arm of the person who tried to attack him.

Nathan saw a scar on the servant's neck, which he likened to a thin scarf tied to his neck. He also wears a long-sleeved shirt, while the other waiter wears a half-sleeved shirt.

A gray man was seen approaching Nathan. "Master," call the man who must be Uncle Kim.

"Uncle Kim, you happen to be here. I need you to keep an eye on the new waiter. I have a bad feeling about him. And find out if he was the one who attacked Aster last night or not."

"I'm here to tell you about it, sir. Last night I saw the waiter enter his room through the window, and his behavior was very suspicious. Besides, I found this black cloth that he threw into the trash can."

Nathan took the black cloth and showed it to Aster. Nathan wanted to ascertain whether the cloth was a cloth worn by the person who attacked him last night or not.

"Aster," called Nathan to Aster who seemed to have difficulty wearing his clothes due to a wound on his shoulder.

"Uncle, you're on time. Come here and help me wear this dress." Her request.

Nathan put the black one on Aster's bed, then walked up to him.

"Already know can not wear, own clothes. But why even choose a troublesome dress like this?" Nathan's grunt nagged Aster.

"That's because I really like this dress, not wearing it for more than a week, it's like not wearing it for a century." Reply confirms.

The dress was Nathan's birthday present one year ago.

The dress became Aster's favorite dress because Nathan bought it for her when she visited him in London. "EO.." YEAH..." Aster was a little surprised when he saw a black cloth lying on his bed.

Aster got out of front of Nathan and took the cloth. "Uncle, where did you get this cloth?"

"From the trash. Uncle Kim found it. Is it the cloth the perpetrator used to disguise his face when he tried to harm you?" Nathan asked.

Aster nodded. "Em, that's right. It was this other thing that he was wearing to cover his head. Ohmo!! Uncle, does that mean the culprit's been found?"

"Yes, and he's an insider."

"Who? Do I know him? Or is it one of the three female caterpillars?" Aster made sure.

Nathan shook his head. "No, but the new waiter in this house. He's the one who tried to harm you last night."

"New servant?" Nathan nodded. "But how can Uncle be so sure if he did?"

"Because I have a lot of hard evidence that he did it. And he used an alibi to anchor us all. And Uncle's found a way to set him up."

"really? How then?"

"Secret, Uncle doesn't want you to destroy all of Uncle's plans with your carelessness."

Aster grieves resentfully. "Cih, why should you play with all the secrets?! Uncle sucks!!" Nathan just chuckles at the words of his adopted daughter.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck...

The knock on the door caught the attention of both. Aster and Nathan both turned their heads, a servant standing before the door of Aster's room.

"What's up, Auntie?"

"Young Miss, your friend has come, and she's waiting in the living room."

"All right, tell him to wait a minute." The waiter nodded, and left.

Aster walked towards the mirror to ascertain if there was anything lacking on his appearance or not. The girl simply added a soft-colored lipstick on her thin lips, and sprayed a fragrance on her body.

Aster. Look at the man with a big smile. "I'm going on a blind date, and my date's here." The answer.

Nathan squinted his left eye. "Blind date?" Nathan repeated Aster's words.

Aster nodded. "Uncle, I'll go first. No need to wait for me for dinner, I'll have dinner outside." The girl snatched her bag and left just like that.

"You've been waiting a long time?" Aster cried as he approached the young man who would become his date.

The young man put down his drinking glass then turned to look at Aster with a gaze full of admiration. Even she did not blink the slightest look at how beautiful the girl was right now.

"Hey, how long are you gonna look at me like that? I ask you, "Aster flicked his finger in front of the young man, and made him wake up immediately.

The young man scratched his non-itchy nape. "Sorry," he said regretfully. "Can we go now?" Aster smiled then nodded.

"Sure,"

"SIR!!"

Uncle Kim's screech from the second floor surprises Aster as well as the young man who becomes his date. Both stopped their steps. Aster's face looked up, staring at Nathan's wide open door.

"NUNNA, NAWAT. UNCLE NATHAN'S RIGHT EYE SUDDENLY BLEED AND HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN!!" gavin from the second floor.

Both of Aster's eyes then widened. "WHAT?!" And he's screaming his ass off. He rushed to Nathan's room to see how he was doing.

"Aster, then what about our date?"

The girl looked. "Date canceled!!" Aster answered without stopping his steps.

Aster further accelerated his pace and yelled out to call out to Nathan. Inside was Uncle Kim who helped treat Nathan's right eye.

"Uncle" cried the girl upon arrival in Nathan's room. Aster exclaimed as he ran over to his foster father.

Aster kneels in front of Nathan, who has just been treated by Uncle Kim. Blood appeared to be poking at the bandage used to bulge his right eye.

"Uncle, what happened to Uncle's right eye? Wasn't that okay? Why did it suddenly bleed?" Ask Aster with teary eyes.

Nathan shook his head. "Of course, Uncle doesn't know either." Cold answer.

Aster squinted his eyes. She is confused by the change in Nathan's attitude which suddenly turns cold on her. "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why is your attitude so cold?"

"That's just your feeling. Aren't you going out on a date with your guy friend? Then why are you still home?"

Aster grunts heavily. "Uncle is joking? How can I leave Uncle with this kind of situation? I still have common sense, Uncle!!"

Nathan sneered. His attempt to stop Aster from going was successful. Even he was willing to injure his right eye which was still not fully healed, until bleeding.

Aster rose from his position and then moved Nathan's lap. His hands were draped around the man's neck, his hazel pearl locking Nathan's left bead.

"Don't get sick and hurt again, I'm sad to see Uncle like this."

"Hn, not anymore. Uncle, it's okay. If you want to go, go. Uncle's fine."

Aster shakes. "I don't want to, I'll just stay home with Uncle. I'm not going anywhere."

"Hn, whatever."
