My Son...

Nicolae didn't understand why Aleksis was now crying softly. He did not know what had caused the tears to run down her cheeks, but he tried to comfort her while wiping her tears with his finger.

"Sshh ... what made you so sad?"

Nicolae then remembered that Aleksis became sad after he told her the story about his past. Did Aleksis feel sympathy because he was born without knowing his parents?

"I'm really okay ... don't be sad," Nicolae persuaded desperately. "I was well cared for by my parents and they loved me a lot. My foster father was the trusted doctor of King Michael of Romania in his place of exile. I had a really happy life ... I even followed the footsteps of my foster father and became a doctor ... so, there is no need to be saddened by my fate."

Aleksis looked fixedly at Nicolae and finally nodded.
