Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2126

"Take me with you." The boy's tone sounded determined.

Baby Zetty said, "Oh, my good grandson, just stay here."

The young man looked around and saw that there was no one around them. Then, he brazenly placed his mouth close to Baby Zetty's ear and called out, "Sis Zetty, if you don't take me with you, I'll expose your identity to these men."

Baby Zetty stared at him in a daze and raised her fist t o punch him in a huff. "How did you find out, stupid boy?!"

"Try and guess." The young man took her belongings and walked forward while holding her hand. Then, he said, "I'll take you to where the boats are."

The roads were getting more and more rugged. Plus, Baby Zetty's bodily functions had deteriorated with age, so she said to him in agony, "What kind of roads are we walking on?"

The boy smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry. The road is rugged, but it's the safest here!"

Only when he had helped Baby Zetty onto a bamboo raft and they drifted farther away from the village did Baby Zetty finally believe the boy's words.

She stood in front of the bamboo raft, looking at the young boy who was steering behind her while asking suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The young boy said, "Sis Zetty, don't you remember me anymore? It's me, Gale. Gale Quinn."

The scene of Baby Zetty's first encounter with Gale immediately appeared in her mind.

It was more than two years ago. Mister had asked her to do a house call, and the young boy's father had run up to her while holding the boy in his arms. The father broke down crying while saying, "Little lady, please save my child. He's about to die."

Baby Zetty walked up to Gale. She remembered that he had been so thin and small at the time. His facial complexion had been so sallow and dull, showing nothing but fatigue.

Baby Zetty had diagnosed Gale as severely malnourished, but Gale's father told Baby Zetty that he had never deprived his child of food. Everything they had in their house was for him, so how was it possible that Gale was still suffering from severe malnutrition?

Later, Baby Zetty investigated the cause and told

Gale's father that Gale's stomach could not tolerate the goat's milk that they were producing on their own.

However, Gale's father found that this conclusion was rather unacceptable. It was because the villagers here had been drinking goat's milk since they were children, and all of them grew up to be strong and tall.

He would rather believe that the reason for Gale's malnutrition was because of his naturally sensitive spleen and stomach than a strange reason like being lactose intolerant.

Then, Baby Zetty suggested, "Stop giving him goat's milk for a month and carefully observe Gale's appetite. If Gale's diarrhea gets better, that means my diagnosis isn't wrong."

Baby Zetty did not prescribe Gale any medications, and Gale's father was extremely desperate at the time. He felt that Baby Zetty was too young and her medical skills were not up to standard. However, when he took Gale, who was on the verge of death, home, he still followed Baby Zetty's instructions. He merely cut off goat's milk from Gale's diet and replaced it with warm soups. Just like that, Gale's condition improved with each day.

Now, although Gale still appeared relatively thin, he had grown into a devastatingly handsome young boy.

Baby Zetty looked at the brilliantly handsome Gale and said, "I said that you couldn't take goat's milk and your father didn't believe me."

It was just that... Baby Zetty looked at Gale suspiciously and asked, "But how did you recognize m e?"

Gale chuckled and said, "Because you had the gall to praise yourself as tall, slender, and very pretty. Oh, and gentle and kind." 2

Baby Zetty felt somewhat embarrassed now.

Gale looked at the aged Baby Zetty and said curiously, "Your disguise is outstanding. It seems very real."

Baby Zetty's eyes grew dimmer. Although Gale seemed trustworthy and straightforward, the Boye family's secret skills must never be revealed to outsiders. As such, Baby Zetty could not help but lie, "This isn't a disguise. I'm suffering from something called Progeria."

Gale was dumbfounded. "Progeria?" 2
