“Hi, Yannis, Spotting the man at the door, Mike, who was being scolded by Devin, looked up and spoke in his soft, sweet voice.

Devin shook his head and said, “Calling for Yannis won’t help you now. He’s not here to bail you out.”

“Hi, Devin, Millicent,” Yannis greeted as he pushed the door open.

Devin stiffened and explained, “Yannis, Mike wouldn’t listen. Despite his poor health, he insisted on going out to play and ended up with a fever. What’s worse, he told the butler to keep it from us.”

In his adorable baby voice, Mike said, “Yannis, the weather was nice today. I–I only played in the garden for a little while.”

At just three years old, Mike sometimes struggled to string words together, though his pronunciation was remarkably clear for his age. The Perkins family had hired private tutors for him since infancy.

Millicent gently pinched his chubby cheek and teased, “So now that Yannis is here, you’ve got your protector, huh?”

Mike had known how to latch onto the strongest support since birth.

“Devin, Mike’s just a kid. It’s only natural for him to be curious,” Yannis said, his voice hoarse behind his mask as he stood in the doorway. He didn’t dare go in, not wanting to risk spreading his cold.

Yannis frowned at Mike and said sternly, “Mike, how could you hide this from Mom and Dad? That was wrong. Understand? They’d be really worried about you.”

Mike was born premature and had always been frail and sickly. Being so young and with a weak immune system, even a slight breeze or chill could easily make him ill.

“Yannis, I’m sorry.” Hearing Yannis‘ voice, Mike lowered his head and said in his tiny voice, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry

Devin’s face was stern. “This won’t happen again.”

With a gentle smile, Millicent looked at Devin and Mike, then turned to Yannis. “Yannis, do come in.”

Yannis stood at the doorway and said, “I’ve caught a bit of a cold, so I’d better not come in.”

“Is your cold bad? Have you seen a doctor?” Millicent asked. At his words, both Devin and Millicent’s eyes welled up with worry.

“When did you catch this cold? Have you taken anything for it? Since we’re already at the hospital, I’ll take you to get checked out.” Devin walked to Yannis.

Mike’s wide, round eyes brimmed with concern as he looked at Yannis and called softly, “Yannis-”
