When he reached the doctor's house, he knocked hard on the door.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
"Please! Open up!" he shouted.
After a moment, the door finally opened, and before the doctor could even speak, Zarius rushed inside. "M-My daughter…!" he said with a trembling voice. "Please… please help my daughter!"
Daughter?
Even in her fever, Rose could still hear that word clearly. She had mixed feelings about it. All this time, she had never dared to think of Zarius as her father because she was afraid he wouldn't like that idea.
Honestly, Rose didn't even understand why he would take care of a child he didn't even know. Why would he bring her home? Why would he protect her, feed her, and worry about her every day?
Why would he give so much kindness to a little girl who came from nowhere?
She couldn't understand it. Just like she couldn't understand why she now called herself Rose.
"You're too lost in these memories, Your Majesty." A familiar voice echoed in her ears.
