Chapter 4397
The old doctor froze for a moment, then gently touched Titus’s head and asked kindly, “Why do you ask that? You’ve never seen your parents. You don’t even know what they look like. If they were alive, why wouldn’t they come looking for you? How could you have ended up abandoned on the side of the road, only to be found by your mother?”
Titus was a smart boy—he knew how to think things through.
“Sonny’s parents got divorced, but he still sees his dad all the time. He lives with his mom. Even when she goes far away for work, she comes back to see him. But me? They never came to see me. They didn’t look for me. So I thought… maybe they turned into stars in the sky, watching over me.”
The old doctor pulled him into a hug, let out a long sigh, and said, “Titus, you’re a lucky child. Your mother Jane and Uncle Ben love you like their own. The Johnson family treats you like part of their family too. Even though your parents are gone, you still have so many people who care about you. You’ll grow up surrounded by love.”
Titus snuggled into his master’s arms.
So it was true—his biological parents were gone.
