Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 127. After the Genesis bag. 9
“Kino-nii..injured..” Theo shocked to hear that.
Joel holding a parcel of cream cake went awry. He placed the parcel and some shopping bags nearby onto the table and grabbed Theo's hand.
“Little boy, listen to me! They survived! Be it your two friends, the ones who pick you up and also the Kino-niichan you always ignore whispers Joel to Theo
“Uncle pervert..”
Joel reassured the children by shouting.
“Kino-niichan you guys are safe! Both of your brothers are safe!”
“That's true, Joel-ojichan? But, you said he was hurt.” asked Michaela.
“Although injured, Kino-niichan you survived. Now he's in the middle of handling so don't cry and be sad like that. Gleefully”
All the children who had been crying finally smiled happily and jumped up. Even for the second time, the cake parcel on the table barely survived.
“You must be careful with this cake!”
Joel saved the cake's life. He quickly went into the kitchen and put it in the refrigerator as a rescue move.
After returning from the kitchen, he immediately returned to the children's place and told them all.
“We'll pick them up! We will go to their place and make sure ourselves with our eyes that they are safe!”
Hearing that, Theo smiled and nodded.
“Some uncle, you have to take us all there. I want to meet Stelani and Fabil! I want to see Ryou-nii and Kaito-nii! I...I want to see Kino-nii again!!”
“Take it easy! That's why I told you! Wait a minute and get all this done. Put all these items in the employee room and calm your friends. I'll call someone to look after and take care of this place while we're there!”
“I understand!”
Joel got out of the bar and ran. He ran as fast as he could. Afterwards, Theo tried to calm the children.
“Kino-nii definitely fine”
“I want to see Fabil-niichan and Kino-niichan!”
“Stelani-neechan! Finally got to meet Stelani-neechan”
All the children were crying happily and hugging Theo. As the oldest of them all, Theo tries the best he can. He took a breath and exhaled it to calm himself. After that, he talked to the children.
“Listen! No one is crying! We should be happy and grateful for their safety! Everything's gonna be fine. Now we put all these shopping bags first and then we pray together”
“Kino-niichan will be fine?” michaela asked with a sad face
“True. Kino-nii will be fine! Ryou-nii and Kaito-nii promise to bring her back. Arkan-nii was with them too. No crying! We must be happy!”
Michaela started to show her cheerful smile even though her eyes were red from crying in the beginning. The other children followed Michaela with a smile and picked up the shopping bag on the floor. They went to put it in the employee room in the back.
Afterwards, the children sat in bar stools and began to pray while waiting for Joel to return. Theo grasped his pendulum and began to pray.
“I beg you, protect Kino-nii! May we all meet with all in happy”
The other children followed what Theo said. They repeat it again and again.
‘I have to apologize to Kino-nii for stealing his pocket watch! I must apologize for causing Kino-nii to get hurt from looking for me! I beg God, please save Kino-nii!’ Theo prayed specifically in his heart
Time passed and the children waited long enough.
“Theo-niichan, where's Joel-ojichan? We have to go to hospital” the whining of those kids is starting to sound
“I can't wait to meet everyone”
“We wait a minute until that perverted uncle comes back. He already promised to take us to Kino-nii and the others”
Theo tried to calm the children's anxiety, although he himself was also still very agitated. Not long after, Joel came up with a very surprising. He is not alone but with a woman.
“Kids! Sorry to keep you waiting so long. Haah...haah..” Joel tries to catch his breath.
“Joel-ojichan!” Michaela called out to him and ran towards him
There was a short-haired woman behind him.
“This is Margaret, my wife. Commonly called Maggy. Maggy, these are the kids Justin took care of before. The one I told you about”
“This place is really worse than you said, Jey!” said Joel's wife with a shocked face
“Because of that, I told you earlier that I didn't lie! You don't trust your husband!”
“Of course I don't believe it! I've seen you walk with another woman, Jey!” Maggy yelled at Joel
“We'll discuss that later! Please wait for this place, my dear. I asked Sean to come here before I went home. He'll tidy up this place for a while. Because of this, please take care of this place first while I go to the hospital downtown! Do not accept customers until the renovation of this place is complete!”
Joel looks panicked and in a hurry. The wife who was initially upset and tried to hold back her emotions could only nod in a forced manner. He let Joel go with the seven children.
Before leaving, Maggy approached the little girl in front of him and tried to comfort the boy.
“I heard the story from my husband. You guys are okay, right?”
“Don't worry, we're all fine. We have prayed together and we have smiled to welcome Kino-niichan and the others, Maggy-obachan” Michaela said with a smile
Maggy hugged the children who came to her overtime. After taking off her arms, Maggy spoke to her husband.
“Already, hurry up you guys go. I feel so guilty for making you all wait so long. Jey, take them. I'll keep this place until Sean comes”
“Kids, let's go!”
Joel was followed by all the kids coming out and running. They rushed to the hospital. It took them about less than twenty minutes until they finally reached the fountain.
The children were breathing heavily and stopped in front of the fountain.
“You guys wait here first yes. Don't go anywhere!”
Joel left again leaving them. Theo and the other children did not have time to ask. Not long after, came two horse-drawn carriages with Joel inside one of them.
“I–ini..” Theo dumbfounded
However, the time of one second was too precious to be shocked and astonished right now. They don't choose which train they ride on. After that, they went to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, they saw Arkan outside holding two blades and a belt containing three knives. Arkan shouted to them and asked them to go inside.
“Durgan employees, you have a lot of explanatory debts to me!” Joel approached Arkan with an annoyed face
“Forget about that first, manager! They're inside. Second floor last room” Arkan told Joel
“After this, you have to explain everything in detail!”
Joel rushed away and Arkan could only sigh deeply.
All of them ascended the stairs to the room that Arkan said. Afterwards, the thing that greeted them was Kaito holding Stelani with Fabil standing next to him.
Kaito immediately lowered Stelani and quickly all the children hugged her. They immediately hugged Stelani and Fabil while crying. The children even expressed all their longing and joy with tears.
“Huwaa….Fabil-niichanis….Stelani-neechan..hiks”.
“I miss you guys. Thank goodness you guys are okay!”
Stelani and Fabil embraced them all with the same feeling. Touched and crying, that was the situation that happened in the lobby of the hospital on the second floor. Joel who witnessed the heartwarming moment was delighted. However, his attention was distracted.
‘The young man...’ thought Joel in heart
He looked at the clothes of the young man who was originally carrying Stelani that was filled with blood spots. Joel was quite surprised to see Theo approaching him and hugging him. He saw the young man stroking his hair gently and smiling happily.
After that, he walked over and approached her.
“Did you save a friend of this little boy?”
“It's not true. These kids saved me. If it wasn't for me, things wouldn't be like this”
Joel looked back at his clothes from top to bottom and said.
“I'm pretty sure you're their savior. My name is Joel, owner of the bar [Barre des Noirs]”
“Manager from mr bartender yes. I'm Kaito. Before, if the manager had heard the story of Theo and the other kids, I killed Justin and I destroyed your bar. I'm sorry”
“Ti–no...not a problem. It's not worth the things you do for them. They are finally free from that person and everything is thanks to you, Kaito” Joel smiled at Kaito
Before everything is finished, Theo asks Kaito about Ryou's whereabouts.
“Kaito-nii, where's Ryou-nii? Where's Kino-nii?”
“They are in that room” Kaito pointed at the room in front of him
“What's all okay, Kaito-nii?”
“Take it easy. All will be well” Kaito smiled at Theo
Seeing that, Joel whispered to Kaito to speak to him with four eyes. Kaito. They walked to the corner of the corridor and spoke seriously. Theo just looked from afar and did not know what the two adults were doing. After a few minutes, they returned.
“Theo, please wait here for a moment. I'll be down to meet the bartender lord under”
Theo nodded and only looked at Kaito's back which was getting further away. After Kaito went down the stairs, he asked Joel.
“What are you talking about?”
“I gave him money to pay all the cost of this hospital”
“You pay for everything, perverted uncle?”
“After all, he is the savior of all of you. You saw his blood-soaked clothes, right? He's been through a tough fight. That's right, right?”
“It's true! Kaito-niichan is already fighting to save Kino-niichan, me and Stelani” Fabil said
Joel smiled and nodded. Not long after, Ryou came out feeling calmly greeted with a hug from all those children.
Back to the present time.
After recalling the incident when he and the children reached the hospital two days ago, Theo did not realize he was almost at the bar.
The bar is being renovated due to the many blood stains that are difficult to lose and damaged walls and doors.
“Welcome, you all” Maggy welcome them
“Maggy-obachan!” Michaela and the other children smiled hugging him
“I'm back, my wife” said Joel
“How? Is your brother awake?” ask Maggy
“Already! We have promised to bring you a cream cake yesterday for Kino-niichan~” Michaela replied excitedly
“So. Well then, what are you waiting for. I'll prepare the cake first. But before that, you guys have lunch first so that the spirit yes. I'll cook a lot of food for y'all”
“Is Sean coming again?” joel asked his wife
“He just got home. He said he'll come back later”
Joel sat down on the bar stool and sighed.
“What a very long day” mumbled slowly
Theo approached Joel. Joel who saw the boy came to her was a little curious.
“What's up, little boy?”
“Um...thank you very much for everything, J–J–Joel-ojichan”
