Wendy walked into the hospital with a dinner box in hand and there she saw Nana’s father Tigui Pine talking with a man and a woman. They bowed and then bent their knees, acting as if they were going to get down on their knees, but Viscount Tigui stopped them at once. This went on for quite a long while and then they bowed to him and left reluctantly.

When they got out of the hospital, Wendy came to him and asked curiously, “Who’re they?”

Tigui shrugged and said, “Who else could they be? They’re the parents of the new witch. They were worried about leaving her alone in the hospital and were asking whether they could take her home. After I told them it was the king who wanted her to stay here, they immediately changed their attitude and expressed gratitude to His Majesty.” Wendy sensed a little disappointment and pride in his last sentence.

Wendy couldn’t stop herself from laughing, “You think every parent is like you, who dare to break into the lord’s castle for his daughter.”

She knew why he felt disappointed. He believed that parents should never hand their kids over to anyone else, even if a king asked. When Nana had awakened, he had gone directly to Roland’s castle without a letter of introduction. Fortunately, the kind and merciful Prince Roland had never intended to do any harm to her, so this incident had ended up becoming a moving story. If he had intruded into the castle of Duke Ryan or any other great noble in the Western Region to save Nana, he would have never been able to get off so easily.

Although that story had happened before Wendy had come to Border Town, she had heard it from Nightingale repeatedly. That was why she naturally understood where Tigui’s pride came from.

“At least, they’re way better than Summer’s parents,” Wendy sighed.

Summer’s parents had hurriedly sent her to the castle to get one gold royal when she awakened to be a witch. They had treated her like a slave they had sold to the king and the Witch Union and warned her not to refuse any of their requests. If it hadn’t been for the money they would’ve got, they probably would not let her return home.

Disappointed by her family, Summer did not return home as often as before once she got used to living with all the sisters in the Witch Building.

As a witch, she could be considered as lucky.

However, as a daughter, she had been abandoned by her parents.

Tigui nodded and agreed with Wendy. “Indeed, they are. One of them works in the Furnace Area and the other is a handyman in the construction team. They had no idea what happened to her until they finished their jobs, but as soon as they heard the news, they hurried here without even having dinner. I can tell from their faces, they do care about the girl.”

Wendy smiled and said, “It looks like I was right to bring this dinner box with me. Could you take me to Sharon?”

Tigui touched his beard and said, “Of course, please follow me.”

…

After the restructure and extension, this hospital now had an inpatient department, but only a few patients would stay here, as Nana and Lily could cure most of the patients in Neverwinter in a short time. They usually just needed to stay in the hall of the hospital for a while to fully recover.

Considering that the influence of the church might still exist, Roland had asked the hospital to let Sharon stay. He was not sure whether all the people who had immigrated from the other districts of Graycastle could accept the witches as one of them. By keeping her in the hospital, at least, he could ensure that she would not become homeless or get hurt by her family.

Tigui and Wendy came to the recovery ward. He gently pushed the door open and waved to Nana by the bed. “It’s time dinner. You can talk to your friend later.”

“She’s not going to have dinner with us?” Nana asked surprised. She then saw Wendy and said, “Sister Wendy. You also came.”

Wendy smiled and patted the dinner box in her hand, saying, “I brought her dinner.”

Nana said, “Oh, I see. You guys talk first. I’ll come back later.” She said goodbye to Sharon and left the ward with her father.
