An Extra Chance to a Terminally Ill

IV

"Milly!!! Cawn I gwo ouwtside agaiwn?"

A sweet little toddler clings to his leg. Milliaon swoons over this fluff because of its round, big eyes and cute pout.

What an adorable little brother! Pout more! I want to pinch those cheeks.

"You know, my friend, anyone would think you are a pedophile," Perial says as he sips his tea. Of course, based on how Milliaon treats his angelic little brother like a god, he appears to be a madman ready to create a religion out of his angelic little brother.

"Brother is busy today so..."

"Pwetty pwease?"

Million fought himself from within. He can't refuse with such a cute little stare. Those puppy eyes! Those puppy eyes!

I'm going to die early.

"Alright. Bring the butler with you and a knight."

"YESH!" exclaimed the toddler, asking to be carried. Milliaon expected to be petted only, but his little brother kissed his cheeks! His knees almost turned into a pile of mush. "Twank you, Milly!"

"Yes. Take good care." He smiled and kissed his brother's cheeks.

He can't help it, he's just too adorable!

He watched as the toddler ran to the butler, who took him outside.

"Why is he so cute?" Perial asked the boy, "he's wasted with a big brother like you."

"Don't fall in love with my baby."

"Nah. He's just so cute."

Perial used his miracle on the boy but it seems that he got better even before he got to cure him. His miracle is just to help boost his health but the boy seems to be a bit healthier now.

"Are you going to teach him the sword?"

Milliaon looked at him and smiled, "Nah. He's free to do anything he wants. If he wants books, then books it is. If he wants to travel around, he should travel around. If he wants the duke seat, then I'll give it to him."

"I'm sure he doesn't want that," Perial replied, "He looks like someone who wants to do nothing at all."

"I know." Milliaon smirks.

He can hear Alioune laughing all the way through while pulling the good old butler outside.

[***]

Anyone should be smitten by a cute kid but it seems the lady has immunity to cute children. Aly went to the doctor and happened to come across the lady once more. He then asked her to have a nice tea with him, and she accepted it.

Of course, the sentence should be 'she gladly accepted it', but she's wearing an even more gloomy expression.

"What is Noona's name? I'm Aly."

The lady looked at him and said, "I am Karina."

He smiled.

Oh, oh. Thinking about his brutish and uncouth older brother, marrying such a frail and weak woman would be a problem. Most of all, he didn't have the ounce of romance needed for quality and quantity.

If Milly is here, he'll be sarcastic, or he'll scare her even without saying anything. His handsome face scares girls away.

He smiled at the lady and told her to eat. He purposely chose sweets that are easy on the stomach, such as cakes, but not bread.

"Noona, you'll be prettier if you smile." He began talking earnestly like any child would do. Of course, it is for his brother, who will have to have his heir, because if he doesn't, he might turn like Tia who married the Imperial Family, became the empress, and ended up being the Lombardy House's Patriarch. He didn't want that to happen again.
