53 The Boy

This child didn't look like he was trembling with fear or apprehension in front of everyone. His trembling legs wobbled, his body moved and his jaw stuttered, but the boy's smile was as beautiful as frost on a window pane.

"This..." Lucas was speechless when he saw him looking like this.

It was like a rollercoaster of emotions to him. He didn't know what to say or how to act... This boy had a beautiful voice, and he looked like he was about seven years old.

Lucas was used to being around kids, but he never met anyone like him. Kids in Kali's hospital used to be lovely and playful. They probably didn't even know what it meant to be in a cold, lonely winter or be starving from hunger.

Yet this boy managed to smile experiencing these hardships.

His thin arms and waist were the proof of him starving for days, maybe even months but the boy was still smiling.
