Felicia, not knowing that she somehow made Xiaobai anxious, finished dressing his wound and settling him comfortably on the bed. She made sure he is comfortable before patting him on the head.
"Take a rest so you can heal much faster, if you feel uncomfortable don't hesitate to call for me or hubby,okay? I'll keep the door open so we can hear from downstairs. No need to worry about anything and have a good nap ."
Xiaobai nodded and closed his eyes, he is still somewhat weak due to blood loss. Felicia noticed his pale face and bloodless lips. She decided to cook some nourishing soup for blood production. Although it give him the aura of a sick beauty, sick is sick, so she wants him to be hale and hearty. She turned around and left.
Back downstairs, the table have long been cleared and the dishes washed. It seem that she must have spent more time on cleaning and dressing Xiaobai's wound.
Felicia cleared her throat, looking at her husband and daughter, she declared. " Today, we will discussed the issue of including Xiaobai to our family tree. We will decide on what procedures to follow, the documents needed, the day we will process them, and on what Xiaobai will need like clothes, shoes and other necessities he will be needing. "
"Ah, honey, don't we need discuss whether if it is okay to include that stin-I mean that little boy to our family tree? " Aldrich protested, his words changing when his wife glared at him.
"Didn't we discussed it this morning? "
"Huh? "
"We talk this morning about Xiaobai, don't you remember? I analyzed to you about his situation right? And from those conclusions, I conclude that we adopt Xiaobai. " Felicia unitary decided, smiling sweetly.
" Dear, we can't just do that. Think about all the troubles we might have if we adopt him, We don't want any incidents to happen right? Think about the situation he was in when we found him. "Aldrich persuaded, but Felicia remained unmoved.
She simply said to him." I want a handsome son. "
He looked at his wife speechless. It's not that they can't give birth to a son,he just refuse to let her give birth to one.
It due to Felicia having a hard time giving birth to their beloved daughter, despite the medical facilities being advance, he almost lost her and their daughter because he was unable to bring her to a hospital. At that time they were in dire states as they had to escape his so called family's pursuit. He still has lingering fear at that time.
But despite this incident, his courageous, stubborn wife still want a son because of her dream of having a set of good looking daughter and son.
They even have a big fight over it. It was only when he cried that Felicia conceded. She can be pretty hardheaded she can even make her stone heart man cry. That's how much he loved and love her still. His pampering made her spoiled and capricious. Despite conceding,she still somewhat hope for a son. Now that there is one available, how can it not make her heart move? To her ,it is an opportunity and a blessing.
As expected, Aldrich can't refuse his wife. He sighed, and said to her.
"Fine, I can ask some of my friends for a favor and get help in documents for our adaptation program and some news and lookout for anyone that may come looking for that brat . Some of my friends still want to pay the favor and help I've done in the past. But we will do the registering next week. I'll talk to my friends about it first and have the ball rolling. In about a week, Xiaobai must have healed by then and we can take him to the registration point to register."
Felicia nodded, pleased. She wasn't worried about the trouble of registering Xiaobai. Due to the very large number of the population that makes every city in every continent crowded, it is a common occurrence to have lots of unregistered citizens that only thought of registering when they feel like it.
"Darling, you go to the mall to buy what Xiaobai needs. I will give you a list, including ingredients for Xiaobai's nourishing soup. I and Lili will accompany Xiaobai here."
Felicia said, tapping her earrings, when she taps on it, a floating hologram appears. She gestured on it, clearly making a lost and then sending it to her husband. Aldrich's ring brighten a little, showing that he received a message.
After that, Felicia shooed him to the door, making him hurry so he can turn early and she can make Xiaobai's nourishing soup much sooner. She needs to boil it for a few hours. Aldrich looked pitifully at his wife,hoping to soften her heart and gained back his gradually unstable status in the family. Felicia finally took pity on him, giving him a peck to reassure him.
He left, satisfied. "Hmmmph, I will not let that brat steal any love from my wife and daughter. Lets see if he dares to be arrogant,hmmmp!"Aldrich childishly thought.
Ahm, Sir, where did you get the idea that Xiaobai is being arrogant and fighting for favor. Sigh, this family, their imagination is so rich. Xiaobai is right to be worried. Foolishness is contagious.
