Chapter 294 Soothing Him Like A Mother Would A...

"What?" Freya blinked, certain she'd misheard.

"When we were about to leave just now, you held my hand and showed you care for me, Kristian darified softly, a shy flush colored his cheeks.

Freya stared, caught off guard. Was he really this happy just because she'd asked a few simple questions?

Kristian had been quietly watching her every reaction. Noticing her silence, he gently called, "Freya."

"Yeah?"

"I've never seen you smile before."

"I'm just not the smiley type."

"No one hates smiling," Kristian said with quiet conviction. "Unless they're unhappy... or don't have anything to

smile about."

*Freya frowned slightly, unsure what was running through his head. "Where'd you get that nonsense from?"

"It's not nonsense," he replied, sounding every bit like a child explaining something serious. "I want to make you happy."

Freya didn't say anything. There was no point continuing the conversation. He still had the mind of a child.

Freya brought Kristian to the hospital. When the doctor used a sterile needle to lance the large blister and disinfect the wound, Kristian's face twisted in pain.

Freya looked at him, puzzled.

Wasn't he supposed to have a high tolerance for pain?

In that moment, she forgot that mentally, Kristian was only like a five-year-old kid. Looking at him now, all she

saw was a grown man.

If he really had been a little boy, she might've instinctively scooped him into her arms to comfort him without a second thought. But appearances shape instinct more than we realize.

"Does it hurt?" the doctor asked.

Kristian was about to nod, but when he caught Freya's gaze, he quickly shook his head instead. "No, it doesn't."

"There's no shame in saying it hurts," the doctor said as he moved to pop another blister. Watching Kristian stiffen, he chuckled and added teasingly, "Say it hurts, and maybe your girlfriend will fuss over you and kiss it

better."

"Girlfriend?" The term was completely foreign to Kristian. Sitting nearby, Freya clarified, "I'm his elder sister."

The doctor shot them a peculiar look.
