Chapter 58: Betrayal

Finally the food is ready and it only takes 6 minutes to prepare it. It's a chicken soup, the only food that Xiel can prepare and good at, a slurping sound can be heard in the room, while Xiel feeds his little brother.

"But Xiel, where are your parents?."

A sudden question by Hendrick.

Xiel's smile turns bitter, he looks at the floor and his body starts to shake. He tries to muster the courage to speak with Henrick and after taking his time Xiel finally can speak.

"They, they're dead."

"I'm sorry for asking a dumb question."

Hendrick bows a bit to apologize.

Zed smack Hendrick's face, how can Hendrick become so dense in this situation?

"Hahaha it's okay, I should tell you earlier."

After eating their food Xiel heads to the crib. It's time for Liel to sleep, and for Zed and Hendrick, both of them sleep in the other room. Xiel's house is small; there are only two rooms. Zed and Hendrick didn't complain since it's their request to stay in their house.
