Afraid of Injection

"Zarius~!"

Mr. Reno hugged the teenager's stomach tighter, as he had never done before with his rude son.

Zarius' consciousness is now in tatters. Slowly his hand that previously embraced Mr. Rendi's body, now weakened. His head drooped on Mr. Reno's shoulder. His consciousness was snatched away when Mr. Reno grabbed him.

Zarius groaned in pain while screaming in fear, when Mr. Reno woke Zarius up and said he would inject Zarius after this.

Mr. Reno doesn't understand how bad dreams Zarius is having right now. However, since earlier Zarius kept shouting, "Stop!! Don't hurt me!"

Mr. Reno thought that Zarius was a victim of child abuse before. Considering that Zarius was seriously injured the first time he found him, Mr. Reno was sure that Zarius had a bad experience. Because of that, Zarius' subconscious mind tried to forget the terrible incident. So, during his stay together, Mr. Reno did not demand Zarius to tell him the truth.

Zarius was very scared to see the syringe. He had never seen anything like it before. So, at this time Zarius reacted excitedly and refused when Mr. Reno gave him an injection. But, in the end Zarius gave up. Zarius didn't have enough energy to resist that.

Zarius closed his eyes and bit his lower lip as the syringe pierced the skin and flesh of his arm. Zarius felt unfamiliar with that thing. Zarius had never seen a syringe before.

"I gave you an injection just to relieve your fever, Son! If there is an orphanage that wants to accommodate you, I will send their caretaker to take you to a general practitioner. It seems that you need more intense examinations to arrange a suitable treatment for you, Son." Mr. Reno said, feeling concerned for the young man.

"Ah, it's nothing, Uncle. I feel like I've been through this a lot. Uncle look! My battered face is from fighting. So I'm not as weak as you imagine. Doesn't a guy with scars look cool?" Zarius spoke, trying not to appear weak in front of the good human.

Zarius squinted. He was still fussy even though he had used the portable oxygen several times before. Just now, Zarius had difficulty breathing earlier, probably due to the wound on his chest.

"It's not about your battered face, but about your nosebleed and failing to breathe," said Mr. Reno.

After knowing that the teenager who grabbed him had passed out, Mr. Reno immediately got up and immediately took Zarius into the room.

Even though Eric kept screaming and telling his father to kick Zarius out. However, Mr. Reno wanted to do Zarius one last favor.

After this, Mr. Rendi was absolutely determined to expel Zarius though with a heavy heart.

However, for Mr. Reno, Eric is everything. He couldn't possibly hurt his son's heart for the sake of a teenager who even Mr. Reno didn't know about Zarius' origins.

Mr. Reno tried to find a way for an orphanage foundation to accept Zarius. Considering that Zarius is 17 years old, it seems that it will be difficult to find an orphanage that will accommodate him.

However, Mr. Reno will do everything possible to make Zarius have a place to live.

"Why do you look sad, Uncle?"
