3 days, the boy had been unconscious for 3 whole days. Martha had been tending to him, changing his sweaty clothes and wiping his body, the kids at the orphanage would sit by his side and read story books, whenever he appeared to be in pain they would hold his hand and not let go.

Garrett and Martha were very worried for the boy, he had been sleeping for 3 days straight. The doctor said he had high fever due to food poisoning.

[Present time]

Emily was holding the boy's hand, her head on the edge of the bed as slept peacefully. She was the oldest in the orphanage so she had to be more responsible and take care of noisy brats, honestly she was tired and was resting by the boy's side who would soon be a new addition to the orphanage.

Yuki grunted as the light hit his eyes. He groaned as he tried to get up, but his body was too heavy. With a slight push he got up, looking around the room, it was all wood, a classic room with a bed, a study table, a cupboard, it was of decent size and the bed was of good quality too, though not too bouncy or soft it was more than enough.

His eyes moved towards the figure by his side, a girl few years older than him, she was sitting on the chair and her head was on the bed's edge. He gently tapped the girl's shoulder as she bolted awake, he was startled and scooted a bit backwards.

Emily looked at the boy in front of her, his sapphire eyes that looked like jewels, a thin golden ring around his black cat like pupils, the boy's head tilted to the side, looking at her with those innocent eyes, her heart skipped a few beats.

"Hello?" His voice was a bit hoarse, Emily snapped back to reality and shuffled a bit as she gave him a glass of water. Her face was bright red, even the boy's voice was angelic it sounded like he was literally singing!

"Hello there! My name is Emily! Oh- and pls wait for a bit I will quickly call the head!" Saying that she ran off, he just sat there and looked out of the open door, he's body was hard to move, it was heavy, he placed the cup on the nightstand and Obediently just sat there scanning the room in the process.

Emily ran, she ran as fast as she could and slammed the door opened, the room was clean and organized with a bookshelf on one wall. Martha who was arranging the books looked at Emily one eyebrow raised, even Garrett looked confused.

"You better have a good reason for slamming the door open so violently." She said and got back to arranging the books, Garrett shifted his attention back to the paperwork.

"The boy—" she panted taking in a deep breath, "—He's- He's awake!" A second, in a second Garrett was out of that paper and ink smelling office and was speed walking towards the boy's room. Martha placed the books on a table and also made her way out walking towards the boy's room.

Garrett opened the door carefully unlike a certain girl, he gulped when he saw the boy's eyes, he thought he was hallucinating back then but, but he was not, the boy had a pair of special eyes. Surely they are beautiful but the amount of people that would be behind the boy were immeasurable.

He carefully made his way towards the boy, afraid that the boy would freak out because of strangers. "Hello there, little guy, my name is Garrett, I own the orphanage and that woman standing by the door is Martha she's my wife and she helps me run the orphanage and take care of kids."

The boy just nodded at his words, "I feel kind of heavy, and my head hurts a bit, is there something wrong with me?" Garrett's eyes softened, they were filled with pity too, the boy was just a young lad, he had yet to live a life, "You were sick, you had a fever and were sleeping for the past 3 days."

Martha left the room and made her way towards the kitchen, she had to make a porridge, "Emily, go and call the doctor, tell him the boy is awake." She said and continued to walk towards the kitchen, she would make a porridge for the boy, he looked so malnourished, but she knew better than to overfeed the boy.

Slowly and slowly, she will increase the amount he eats, it should not be forceful or the boy will just throw up what he ate and get sick again, she had to make a proper diet, since the doctor would be coming she would just ask him for advice.
