The next morning...
Noah opened his eyes slowly while wincing softly...He turned his head with great difficulty and looked around him.
When he noticed that he was lying in his bedroom next to his little sister, memories of last night's abuse resurfaced in his mind.
'Argh!'
The ignored pain had finally settled in, making him unable to move a single inch without aggravating a welt.
Still, Noah fought against it and pushed himself to check on his little sister, worrying that she might have been beaten by the nanny after he passed out.
'Thank god...' Fortunately, he saw that she wasn't harmed at all, making him sigh in relief.
Cluck...
Abruptly, the door to his bedroom opened up gently...The nanny came inside while carrying a bowl and a glass of water.
"You finally woke up." The nanny showed a kind worried expression as she asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
