"I need to report this," said the doctor. "Don't," said Ian. "What if by reporting this they end up finding her. Like you said, she escaped from there and they must be on the lookout for her," he added. "But what about her parents?" asked the doctor."I'll search for them myself. Like I said she is my responsibility," said Ian.
The doctor knew what Ian said also made sense. And the parents usually want nothing to do with the kid once they found them in this condition. Or were the ones who sold them in the first place. And getting put into a home would also be a wrong choice for these types of kids. So the doctor accepted it and told Ian to bring her every week to see her progress or if anything goes wrong with her.
"We will help you," said Nina when Ian held out his hand to get the medicine from her. "No, she won't let me treat her wounds if anyone is around," said Ian getting the medicine. "You don't know that. Plus she can't even see," said Alex. "I know her and even if she can't see I can. And I will never do anything she doesn't approve of," said Ian getting angry and closing the door on them.
⎨I need to take care of your wounds.⎬ wrote Ian. ⎨I am the only one here with you. Your safe here.⎬ he wrote. "Don't worry. I won't let anyone come close to you," said Ian. He knew that she couldn't hear him. But he still wanted to talk to her, even if it was a one-sided. Ian was careful while giving ⨊ a bath. ⎨Sorry. This will hurt.⎬ wrote Ian. "Sorry I know it hurts but its almost done," said Ian as he applied medicine and bandaged her wounds gently. ⨊ observed Ian being extra careful and gentle with her, becoming puzzled with his behavior. (Why is he being so gentle with me? Am I not supposed to be a stranger to him? The only reason he would act in this way is...No, he is just behaving like Nina said, confusing a stranger for me.)
