Ethan was hiccuping from all the crying. Even though he was a year older than Hubert, Boris, and Noomi, he was way smaller. Now that his fever had gone down, his face wasn't as red, but he still looked pale and skinny, even smaller than Hubert.

Phoebe's heart broke, especially when she saw the clothes Ethan had just changed out of.

Ethan's clothes looked okay on the outside, but inside, they were full of patches.

It was clear that Ethan and Ruby had been through some rough times these past few years.

Phoebe walked over to the bed and saw that Ethan had finally stopped crying and had fallen back asleep in Ruby's arms. Phoebe asked quietly, "What are you planning to do now?"

Ruby gently laid the sleeping Ethan back on the bed, making sure he felt secure. She lightly patted his small arm to let him know she was there with him.@@novelbin@@
