Harriet Potter

Aegis was both annoyed and understanding as he looked at the clearly abused girl who was now hiding half of her face under covers as if hoping that they could forget about her or just hoping for becoming invisible...

Aegis was never too much versed in the human psyche. But Aegis absorbed enough memories in shadowlands that belonged to either scholars or psychiatrists to know this girl would be a hard nut to crack as children who were abused, especially girls, are emotionally unstable...

With was proven right as the moment he came to the room, the girl hid under covers.

As Aegis was about to speak again, the room's doors were open with more strength that was needed, and through them came running Weiss, who had anticipating expression plastered upon her entire face...

"I heard you finally wake up! That's so great!"

Weiss said with a gusto of hammster on coffaine...

"Ehem"

Aegis made a sound, and Weiss quickly looked at him for the first time as until now, she didn't know he was there and made the best impression of deer in headlights.

Aegis was about to reprimand his little sister. Still, he catches a minor detail in his vision that looked as if the girl felt safer with Weiss around...

Aegis thought about the reason, and his fist clenched in anger. Still, he immediately suppressed it and just looked at Weiss, who now looked at him in both confusion and worry that he could be angry at her for her outburst.

"Weiss, why don't you speak with our guest, and I will, in the meantime, bring her some drink?"

Aegis said, and Weiss was about to retort as she knows that drinks are usually brought by servants but give up when she saw Aegis's eyes...

"Yes, big brother, and please bring orange juice too!"

Weiss said, and Aegis just nodded at her and left the room, not forgetting to close it after himself.

In the meantime, the girl who until now was scared finally relaxed as she was there just with Weiss...

"Well? Why did you fear big brother? He is a good person, you know."

Weiss said as she was observant enough to see a change in the girl's body...

The girl looked at Weiss but didn't speak, and Weiss just sighed as she thought that this would not be as easy or funny as she thought...

In the meantime, Aegis was speaking with doctors who were in charge of that girl's situation.

"You were inspecting her body. Can you tell me if she was sexually abused?"

Aegis asked as he saw how the girl reacted in male presence.

"Doctor who was inspecting her did indeed looked but said that the girl's hymen is still intact, so if she was abused in that way, they probably did not want to risk such action, or they didn't have enough time."

The doctor said, and Aegis just sighted in both relief and exasperation as this did both relieved one of his worries but at the same time brought a couple of new questions...

Questions he would need to ask the girl himself...

Or...

Aegis pulled out a scroll and called on one of his most used contacts...

"Mother? Can you please come to the mansion hospital section?"

Aegis asked, and after Willow said she would be there in a minute, he ended the call and just thought about his new move...

"Son, why did you call me there? Are you or Weiss hurt?"

Willow looked out of breath and clearly worried, and Aegis just had the urge to facepalm himself as he forgets to tell why he needed her...

After Willow calmed down by Aegis assurances that both he and Weiss is alright, he started to explain his problem, and Willow, who heard him, just looked outraged as Aegis told her why he couldn't ask the girl himself...

"Alright, son, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Willow said and hugged her son.

"You did well to think about the girl's mental state and didn't make it harder for her... My son is a true gentleman. Im proud of you."

Willow said as she hugged her son and truly was touched how he was careful not to hurt the girl mentally by making her speak with men when she fears them...

After that, Aegis made his way to his office as the work for him didn't end, and he was sure he could count on his mother and Weiss to take care of their guest's comfort...

----

Aegis finally finished the last document for the day and slumped into the chair as he wasn't tired physically...

No, he was tired mentally as even with corruption almost gone from SDC, he still found out that there are many idiots from other firms he absorbed...

Truly Aegis almost started to regret absorbing these new businesses as they were just like SDC, full of corruption and idiots with egos bigger than even his own...

At least if these people have at least an ounce of capabilities to support their egos.

Yes, he became the number one tycoon in the entire Remnant, but he truly felt that the problems it brought with such a title were just too much for him...

As he was about to call Iris, who he gets to know can give very good back massages which make his body and mind relax there was a knock on his doors and after he gave consent to enter the ones who come were Weiss and Mother who was hand holding the girl who still clearly feared him...

"Mother, Weiss, why did you come? Or better yet, why did you bring the girl who awakened just today after a month of coma from a hospital bed?"

Aegis asked with no real heath in his tone as even if he were angry, he would never take it upon his loved ones...

"We came to introduce you to our guest as it is normal to great ahead of the family."

Mother says and, with a gentle smile, look at the girl who, after little hesitance, looked at Aegis and speaks.

"Hh-hello, n-nice to meat you, I-im Fre-Harriet Potter."

The girl says with a trembling voice, and Aegis caught the little mistake when she was about to speak her name...

Integrated but not enough to scare the little girl Aegis just stands up from his chair and made his way to the girl who, upon watching him come closer, hid behind his mother...

Aegis kneeled upon one leg just enough to get on the girl's eye level and introduced himself.

"Im Aegis Schnee. Nice to meet you too, Harriet."

Aegis said and gave the girl one thing he gave just to his family only, and that was a genuine gentle smile...

From there on, Aegis told them to sit on the couch as he called for refreshments and started to speak with Harriet slowly as not to make her withdraw herself or scare her...
