CHAPTER 23

GYUTT

The bike Drake was riding was also in front of his house. Drake gets down and takes Joy from Lulu's lap.

"Thank you for helping me get this kid home."

Lulu nodded, "Let's get her inside quickly."

As they ran inside holding a child, Terra watched from her home.

"What's going on? Why did they take the boy to Drake's house?" The curious Terra descended and rushed to the man's house.

Meanwhile, Drake takes Joy to his room. While Lulu took the initiative to get drinking water for Drake and also the little boy.

A few minutes after Drake put Joy in his bed, the boy opened his eyes slowly.

"Eh? You're conscious, Joy?"

Joy nodded.

"Thank God," Drake felt grateful.

"Here, you drink first," Lulu thrusts a glass at Drake and Joy.

"Eh? Thank you, Lulu," Drake said.

"Hmmm," nods Lulu.

GRASPS

Terra came with a thumping step.

"What's going on?" tanyakanya.

"They just had an accident" said Lulu.

"K accident? That right?"

"Hmm. that's right."

Terra approached Drake and examined him. There was no injury.

"Are you in an accident? But there's not the slightest wound on your body?"

"Em, that, let's just say I'm lucky."

Terra sighed in agreeing sign.

"Then, who's this kid? Where did you kidnap her? How about his parents find him and report you to a child abduction case?"

"He's Joy. No, I didn't kidnap her. For the time being, she'll be staying with me for some reason."

"Dead together? Some thing?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What's that??"

Drake patted Terra on the shoulder as he nodded and closed his eyes, "Let me tell you again."

Although confused, Terra finally understood Drake's intentions.

"Then, I'll prepare dinner for you guys" said Lulu.

Hearing Lulu's words, Drake hurriedly held back his hand, "Ehm, Lulu. No need to bother. I'll order food from the outside."

"Eh, is that it?"

"Hm. You just sit down, yeah," she smiled.

Drake's memory of Lulu's bad food and making him want to vomit was still felt.

"Yes fine."

••••••

SIEGG

A few hours later, they finished eating. Joy, who was originally awkward, has now begun to open up with the women of Drake's friends.

Every now and then he glances at Drake, the man who saved him. He was so grateful to her for caring about him. Somehow it would have been if Uncle Drake hadn't saved her. He must have gone that night.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Had it.."

"Then go to bed."

Joy nodded without saying much. He said goodbye and rushed to sleep. Because the night is getting late, Lulu and Terra also say goodbye to each other's homes.

"You're not sleeping?" ask F5.

"Hmm. I can't sleep."

"Rest. Your body needs rest for recovery."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Actually, your leg was broken and bent. Then your back flesh was also torn to pieces by an iron plate. Even though I can cure you instantly, you still need to rest for at least a week."

"Also... Since this is a huge injury from an accident, you must not use your physical strength for any purpose. You have to rest right at home. If not,,,"

"Eh, what's the risk?"

"Yes. Otherwise, blood will seep out of your wounds. And eventually the wound will reappear."

GLUE

He's got to rest for a week? Then, what about the summer games he will be in?

"T wait. Can't you rest for three days?"

"Better one week."

"But I have a summer game in three days. Would it be okay to keep doing it?"

"I don't know. But you better follow my words if you don't want to take a big risk."

Drake swallowed. He thought hard about what he would do. That match was the only way for him to pay off the debt. In addition, he can also avoid Luna from the hands of Miss ZuanYi.

Drake walked into the room. Apparently Joy had slept well in her bed. Feeling sorry for the fate of the boy, Joy slowly approached him. Then she made a blanket that covered her little body.

"The poor boy. You remind me of myself" she said, stroking Joy's head gently.

Is correct. As old as Joy, Drake who has two parents seems to have no one. His father and mother were more worried about Pitt than he was despite several times he had a small accident like falling off a bicycle.

Or, when Pitt broke the pot of an antique plant and instead charged him. His parents did not want to believe what he said.

What a painful past!

TRACKS

Open the window slowly. Drake is getting no sleep. He grunted softly as he grabbed the cigarette pack in the bag of pants.

From the window of his room, he noticed Luna's house whose lights were still on.

"I'll keep fighting."

"Did?"

"I can't just stop because I signed the agreement. If I don't come to fight, Miss ZuanYi will definitely keep chasing me and do something to Luna."

"Three days, I'm going to take a full rest. So with just that, I hope everything can recover perfectly."

Hearing Drake's decision, F5 can't force. He knew there were two dependents placed on Drake's shoulders. He can only hope. Three days was enough for Drake to recover his body.

•••••••

WUZZZZ

Drake felt something so close to him. He could even feel something like a snake tickling his nostrils. While sleeping, he scrunched his forehead several times.

Apparently, Joy was observing her sleeping self with her mouth gaping. It's true what Drake feels!

The little boy played his nostrils and lips in turns while giggling.

Xi xi xi xi ... 😂

HAP!

Drake immediately opened his eyes and closed his mouth at the same time. Then, he who was upset glanced at Joy who was lying next to him with the index finger of the right hand that entered his nose.

"Hey, what are you playing?" drake asked with a flat and annoyed face.

"Eh? Uncle. hihihi. Uncle uncle's nostrils are funny," said Joy chuckling.

"Haiss, what are you doing! Quickly remove your finger," Drake said, exhaling violently and then changing his sleeping position to tilt to the right.

But, Joy who Drake got rid of it back to her.

"Uncle, may I know uncle's name?" Joy keeps disturbing Drake's sleep.

"Hmmm.."

"Who, uncle? Let's say it quickly."

"Drakes."

"Just drake?"

"Drake Halbert," replied Drake lazily.

"Drake Halbert? Is that the same as that businessman Pitt Halbert?" Joy bows her head from the top of Drake's arm.

Drake's stunned. Where did Joy know that name.

"Where do you know that name?"

"At our home business meeting last week, Pitt Halbert came in as a guest. Are you two, brothers?"

"No."

"Eh, is that right uncle? Your names are the same."

"Name can be the same. But we're not."

Joy observes Drake's face while leaning on Drake's left arm.

"Hoaheem.. Why look at me like that?" ask Drake while yawning.

KRUYUK

KRUYUK

KRUYUUKK

Suddenly we heard the sound of stomach rumbling. Joy grimaced in embarrassment as her stomach let out a rumbling sound.

"You hungry?"

"Ehehehe,, I haven't eaten since yesterday morning" Joy said as she scratched her head.

"From yesterday morning?"

Joy nodded.

"Well, go take a shower first. Uncle's gonna make you food."

"Yes," Joy nodded then rushed off to the bathroom.

Seeing the little boy excited, Drake woke up from his sleep and tidied up his bed quickly.

Then after she followed Joy to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, she rushed to the kitchen to cook rice and make eggs.

Incidentally, there were two pieces of meat that Luna brought yesterday for breakfast. So he cooked it all.

••••••••

TRACKS

"Well, eat fast."

"Yes," the refreshed Joy received a plate containing eggs and two pieces of meat served to her with a nod of her head.

Joy, who saw Drake not eating and took off her apron while walking away, asked.

"Eh, where are you going? Don't come eat with me?"

"Eat. Uncle can have breakfast later" Drake replied.

"But,,,"

Drake went to his room and took his bag. Today he's going to Thomas' office to do something.

"Uncle is leaving?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can I come?"

"No. For now stay inside the house. Your evil uncle may be looking for you everywhere."

GLUE

Joy knows about that. Therefore, he nodded according to Drake's words, "Yes well. I'll wait for uncle to come home."

"Good boy. Remember uncle's message, yes. Ohy. If you want a snack, in the kitchen drawer there are some snacks. You can have it," Drake stroked Joy's head.

"Hm. Good uncle."

As Joy complies, Drake rushes away. But once out of the house, he is shocked by the arrival of Terra and Luna.

"you guys? What are you doing here?"

"Said Terra, did you bring a child yesterday? Can I see it?" ask Luna.

"What a coincidence. I'm gonna go out for a second. Can you take care of him for me?"

"Of course," Luna hurriedly entered Drake's house. So did Terra.
