Chapter 295: IF Scenario - Bazel: Taking Care of Her for Life
As the two tidied up the room, they talked about the cubs. Bazel told Number 29 the whole story of how he found Anno.
"So that's how it is."
Number 29 glanced at Anno and asked Bazel, "Have you thought it through? Are you going to support her for the rest of your life like this?"
"I've thought it through."
Bazel said without hesitation, "I made up my mind when Nono was still in the petri dish. I will never hand her over to the Northern River Federation. I can give her a good life and make her happy."
Number 29 smiled and said, "I didn't mean to question you. I just wanted to tell you that if you've already made a decision, from now on we need to start making long-term preparations for Nono."
Upon hearing Number 29 say "we," Bazel put down the pillow in his hand, looked at Number 29 hesitantly, and said, "Number 29, you're living a free and easy life on your own. There's really no need for you to take such a big risk for us. I owe you this favor, and I'll repay it properly once Nono settles down..."
"Bazaar, what do you mean by this?"
Number 29 interrupted Bazel: "What do you mean by favors? If we're talking about taking risks, I've already taken the biggest risk since I helped you. I am indeed free on my own, but having a little cub won't stop me from being free. It's my business if I want to take care of her, and you don't need to think about anything else. The most important thing now is how to take good care of her."
"Moreover, it's very difficult for you to take care of such a small cub by yourself. Think about it carefully. Just the two of us wouldn't be a normal family for her. I understand your idea of not handing her over to the Federation, and I support you, but if you're going to take care of her by yourself, let's be realistic, there are many things you won't be able to do."
"Don't forget, she's not an ordinary cub. She's a spark. Once her identity is discovered, she'll be exposed at any time. Can you guarantee you'll take good care of her? Can you guarantee you'll keep her identity a secret for the rest of your life?"
Bazel was silent for a while. Number 29 was right. It was indeed difficult for him to take care of such a small cub by himself. Moreover, it was not just a matter of difficulty. Nono's identity alone was the biggest problem.
This bomb could explode at any moment. At that time, could he single-handedly resist the entire Northern River Federation?
He could give everything for Nuonuo, even his life, but if he gave all of his life, could he guarantee that Nuonuo would live a free and happy life?
Number 29 patted him on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. With me here, many problems are much easier to solve. Two people can do so much more than one person. Don't try to distance yourself from me now, I don't like that."
Bazel: "Thank you so much, Erjiu."
On the 29th, she shook out the blankets and made the bed. "No need to thank me. From now on, the three of us are family. We'll take care of Nuonuo together."
Anuo watched them busily packing their things and couldn't sit still. She wanted to help them. Number 29 had given them the largest room. She looked around and picked up some items that Number 29 had just taken out and arranged them.
Bazel and Number 29 exchanged a surprised glance when they saw her small figure helping to pack things.
Number 29 asked, "Bazel, Nono really just came out of the petri dish, but I feel like she knows quite a lot?"
Bazel looked at Anno with tender eyes, "She is very smart and learns things very quickly. When we were in the petri dish, she would communicate with me from time to time using energy. She is different from the other sparks."
Number 29 said thoughtfully, "She does look somewhat different. The markings on her body seem to be much deeper than those of ordinary fire seeds."
They had all seen the Fire Seed before. The Fire Seed's physical characteristics were the light band behind its ears and the faint patterns on its body. Anno's patterns were deeper and more intricate. Under the dim yellow light of the living room, she radiated a soft, gentle glow, like a little elf.
At this moment, Anuo was picking up the pillow that had fallen to the ground. The bed was a bit high, and she tried to put the pillow, which was bigger than her, on the bed. However, instead of putting the pillow on the bed, she was bounced to the ground by the pillow.
Bazel and No. 29 rushed over and helped her up.
"Did Nono fall?" Bazel asked, checking Nono's back with a pained expression.
Number 29 also comforted her repeatedly, saying, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
Anuo felt a mix of warmth and sadness as she looked at the two people who cared about her. She hadn't been hurt at all, just a little sore bottom, but it was nothing to her.
But being coaxed by the two of them like this, she inexplicably became emotional, her nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears.
The next second, large tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't expect her emotions to come so quickly, and she hurriedly wiped her tears with her arm, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed.
She had been able to hold back her emotions a little, but now she couldn't hold them back at all and simply started wailing loudly.
Although she didn't know how many years she had spent in the egg, and how she had been taken back by Bazel and raised in a petri dish for three years, her memory remained at the moment of her death.
All the suffering she had endured in the past was released at this moment, and she burst into tears.
Bazel was heartbroken by her crying and quickly picked her up to comfort her. Number 29 also rushed to find a first-aid kit to check if she had fallen somewhere.
The young cubs are already fragile, let alone Nono, who is a Fire Seed cub. They had never been in contact with Fire Seed cubs before, but even adult Fire Seeds are heavily protected. They are thin and frail, as if one punch from him would kill them.
"Quickly, take off Nuonuo's clothes and check her over."
On the 29th, he took out medical equipment and addressed it to Bazell.
Anno was wrapped in a thick, fluffy shawl that reached the ground.
Bazel sat her down in his arms, took off her shawl, and then lifted her clothes from behind.
Anno was crying so hard that she didn't notice his movements.
On the 29th, the doctor scanned her back with the instrument and said, "Fortunately, she didn't break any bones. She probably just hurt her butt."
He took a bag of cub snacks from Bazel's backpack and handed it to Anno, "Don't cry, okay?"
Anno hugged Bazel's neck and cried for a long time before she stopped.
During this period, on the 29th, she underwent a thorough full-body examination using medical equipment.
"Bazaar, Nono's physical stats aren't looking good."
On the 29th, I showed Bazel the body data that Nono had scanned. All of her vital signs were low, mainly due to malnutrition.
He looked extremely guilty. "It's all my fault. I couldn't earn enough gold to nurture Nuonuo."
On the 29th, she comforted him, saying, "We'll take good care of her from now on. Once she's out of the petri dish, things will be different. She can eat normal food and will grow better."
Bazel patted Anno's back and said to Number 29, "Go run the water and give Anno a bath later. I'll make her some milk."
On the 29th, she agreed and went to the bathroom to prepare hot water and bath supplies for Anuo.
Looking at Nono's symptoms displayed on the medical equipment, he thought for a moment and decided that he should give her a more thorough physical examination. Her immune system was too weak, and she might be allergic to some things.
He grew up on his own, always taking care of himself when he got injured. This spaceship has a medical room and professional medical equipment, so he is quite familiar with medicine and drugs.
He used a blood collection device to collect a small blood sample from Anuo and performed a blood test on her.
The results came out five minutes later.
Looking at the series of data displayed on the screen, No. 29 thought to himself, "As expected, Nono is allergic to many things."
He took out all the shower gels he had stored and carefully checked the ingredients. Although there were no ingredients that would cause allergies, these were shower gels for adults.
"I got her some baby toiletries." Bazel peeked into the bathroom and saw Number 29 squatting on the floor studying the shower gel, and said to him.
"I was just thinking about whether I could give these shower gels to Nono."
On the 29th, after repacking everything, filling the tub with water, and testing the water temperature, I went out to call Bazel to give Nono a bath.
Anno was sitting in a chair, sobbing as she drank her milk. After she finished, Bazel carried her to the bathroom.
Anno knew at a glance that she was going to take a bath.
She looked at Bazel and Number 29, wanting to tell them she would wash herself, but couldn't quite express herself.
I suffered because I couldn't speak up.
She could only let the two of them strip her naked and put her in the bathtub. She huddled in the bathtub, her head almost touching the water.
Bazel and Number 29 were completely unaware; to them, she was nothing more than a three-year-old cub.
The two had never cared for such a small cub before, so they gently and clumsily rubbed and washed her.
Anno felt like a puppy from the old base, bathed like this by her teammates, her whole body wrapped in foam.
Bazel and Number 29 chatted from time to time while washing.
"Be careful not to get the foam in Nono's eyes."
"Erjiu, did you use too much shower gel? The more you wash, the more foam there is."
"Just add some more water later."
"Bazaar, Nono smelled like you all over, but now it's finally gone."
"......"
After washing her, the two wrapped Anuo in a large towel and carried her out.
Anuo was completely numb. She kept giving herself mental suggestions, reminding herself that she was a three-year-old child, a three-year-old child.
Bazel put her on the bed, dressed her in pajamas, and on the 29th, he took out a hairdryer to dry her hair.
They bathed her, and both of them got completely wet. They simply took off their shirts and busied themselves taking care of the little cub.
Anno glanced at the two men's muscular upper bodies, then lowered his eyes.
Before her hair was even dry, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down to the side.
Before closing her eyes, Anno sighed inwardly, "What a tumultuous day, but also a reassuring one."
