Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2127

He looked at Baby Zetty's long white hair and hunched body. She was now completely different from that beautiful and alluring girl from his memory. Gale abruptly shed some tears due to sadness and felt utterly sorry for Baby Zetty. "You must be very upset about getting this disorder, right?"

Baby Zetty gave it a thought. This was her escape strategy. She would not have been able to slip out of the hands of those masked people at all if it were not for this so-called Progeria.

For her, this was a blessing in disguise. Hence, she calmly said, "Truthfully, apart from turning older and having a tough time adapting to this sluggish body, there's nothing much to it." Gale burst into laughter upon seeing how optimistic she was and said, "It's good that you're not so sad over it, Sis Zetty. Plus, with your excellent medical skills, you'll surely be able to cure your illness in no time."

Baby Zetty looked at Gale and secretly thought to herself, 'I'm the one who's sick right now, but he's sadder than I am. This kid has the heart of a saint.'

Baby Zetty began to trust and become fond of Gale even more now.

"You have to stop calling me Sis Zetty in the future and start calling me Grandma." Although Baby Zetty was still a child, now that her body had aged, despite her mentality remaining at the age of a 17-year-old girl, her body, demeanor, and movements were all of a n 80-year-old woman.

Gale pursed his lips and said, "I can't call you Grandma. In my heart, you'll always be the beautiful Sis Zetty."

Baby Zetty looked at her reflection on the water and she saw her old-looking self for the first time. She could not help but despise herself, saying, "Woah! I can't even stand looking at myself. I don't think the name Baby Zetty suits me anymore, so perhaps I have to change my name. What should I call myself from now on?"

Gale blurted out, "What about Winter?" "Why Winter?"

"I heard a story from my dad before that in the deep mountains and old forests, the snow doesn't melt all year-round. So the people living there are constantly in bitter hardship. But fortunately, there's a young lady named Winter who'll show up once every New Year's to make house calls for the villagers. Since Sis Zetty has the heart of a saint as well, let's change your name to Winter."

Baby Zetty pondered it and said, "Winter, the one who saves the world? The name is worthy of my identity as a medical practitioner. Alright, I shall be called Winter from now on."

Gale proceeded to smile brilliantly.

"By the way, where are we headed?"

Baby Zetty lifted her bulging belly and took out a pillow from inside her clothes. Then, she took a small wooden box out of the pillow and said with a stammer, "I want to go to Sacred Land and send Mister and Grandpa home."

Gale said, "Alright. I'll keep you company."

Baby Zetty shook her head and refused, saying, "No way. It's very dangerous for you to come with me."

Gale said, "Sis Zetty, once I take you across the shore, do you know the way to Sacred Land? Do you know where to live at night? Will you know where to find food when you get hungry?"

Baby Zetty looked at the vast forest, and she honestly did not know how to handle any of the problems Gale had brought up.

Gale smiled and said, "That's why you should let me come with you."

Baby Zetty worriedly said, "But I don't want you to take risks with me."

Gale replied, "Don't worry. I'm clever. You have too many enemies in Serpent Land, but I managed to save you anyway, right? I know how dangerous it is to be by your side, but I'm willing to do it anyway. Ever if everything comes to a tragic end, I'll have no regrets." Baby Zetty was still reluctant.

Hence, Gale could only beg her sincerely, "Just agree to it, Sis Zetty. I lost my mother when I was a child, and my father died some time ago. I'm an orphan now and have no one to rely on. Just let me follow you and we can take care of each other. I'll treat you as my one and only relative, okay?"
