Adopted Soldier Chapter 278

Chapter 278

After escaping from Cromer city Sarah Resti alongside the others retreated to the Capital of Berdonia, Regon . It was a good thing that her family was currently in the Souther Union were it's relatively safer .

Right now Sarah was in an newly created orphanage helping the children who suddenly became orphans, due to the sudden attack of the Granado Empire . In this orphanage she became the children's teacher and was using art to help the children calm themselves . She knew that this was in the end was something that wouldn't truly help them . . . But she hoped, she truly hoped that somehow this would make them forget for even a moment all the horrible things that happened . It has been three months now since that incident and she hasn't seen Kyle or his sister Emily for all that time .

She knew that Kyle was a mercenary, since he told her when he left her in that safe room . So it was possible for him to be doing his part in this war . Sarah didn't know Kyle for that long, but it still felt somewhat weird for him not to pick her up after work . It was a weird feeling, she didn't know if she liked him or not, but he was indeed in her mind a lot for the past days .

She wondered if at this point did she really like him, or was it like what some call the suspension bridge effect . She just couldn't understand her current feelings due to the rapid changes that was happening in the world around her .

While Sarah was thinking about her current feelings, a little boy came near her, bringing his drawing with him .

"Teacher look . " The little boy happily sat beside Sarah as he showed her the picture he drew .

"What is it?" Sarah who was deep in thought looked at the boy and smiled . She saw the drawing it was a bit messy drawing, that one should expect from someone that young . Still Sarah was able to piece out what the picture represented . It was a picture of a happy family .

"Look, I drew Daddy and Mommy, and there's me . I'm the one holding that cool robot toy . Daddy promised to buy me one, if I was good boy . . . Teacher, when do you think Daddy and Mommy will e back from their work?"

When Sarah heard the little boy's question, she gritted her teeth, as she tried to stop herself from crying . She couldn't look directly at the little boy's honest eyes .

'As an adult, what am I suppose to do in this situation?' Sarah smiled back at the little boy .

"Your Mommy and Daddy need to stay at work for a bit more . So while waiting for them, you better behave well . So that when your daddy es back, you'll see him carrying the robot toy you've been asking for . "

"For real teacher?!" The boy joyfully asked . Sarah simply smiled at the little boy while nodding her head . Seeing his teacher do that, made the little boy happy as he scurried off back to his friends .

Sarah who saw the little boy happily talk to his friends about the robot toy he wanted, made Sarah want to cry, yet she couldn't . It was at that moment she heard someone actually crying . Sarah stood up and headed towards the direction of where she heard the crying, there she saw a little girl .

"What's the problem, are you hurt?" Sarah worriedly approached the little girl .

"I want my Mommy! Where's my Mommy! Why hasn't Mommy e to pick me up?" The little girl suddenly screamed at Sarah .

"It's alright little one, your mommy's just a little bit late . We just need to wait for her here . " Sarah hugged the little girl as the girl continued crying . Sarah's heart was breaking, as she heard the little girl continue crying until she tired herself out and slept .

. . .

Sarah who has been trying to calm down the kids who were getting a bit more agitated, since its been months since they last saw their parents . Sarah who has been really stressed out by the events that happened today, started painting .

In her painting she drew the little boy and the little girl reuniting with their parents .

"At least in my painting they could be reunited . " Sarah softly whispered while she continued painting . As she was fully focused in her painting, Sarah didn't notice that someone was behind her, watching her paint .

Once she was done painting, Sarah heard a familiar voice .

"Such a beautiful painting . " Sarah hurriedly look back, and as expected there stood Kyle Hunt .

"Long time no see my pretty little teacher . " Kyle stood there smiling at Sarah, who almost cried when she saw him . It has been one hectic day for her, she was almost force to tears multiple times . Seeing that smiling face of his, made Sarah smile a bit as well .

She approached Kyle and embraced him, laying down her head on his chest tired from the events of the day . Sarah under the fort of Kyle's chest fell asleep in his embrace .

"Good work . " Kyle softly whispered in Sarah's ears .

. . .

For the first time in the past few months, Sarah was able to sleep well . She somehow felt safe and secured as she believed that Kyle was watching over her . She woke up and looked around seeing that she was in her bed . Sarah then finally noticed that Kyle wasn't here with her .

"Was that all a dream? Did I actually dream of Kyle?" As Sarah mumbled this she noticed a letter on the table beside her .

It was a letter that was obvious addressed to her . She opened the letter and read it .

"To my pretty little teacher,

I wanted to talk to you some more, but it seems like you're very tired today and needed some rest . It was fun watching your sleeping face . . . Wait . . . Did that sound a bit creepy? Oh well, but it's the truth you know, you looked really pretty while you slept so peacefully . Yet I saw that you were a bit stressed as well, don't bother lying I have the eyes of the best sniper in the world . I can spot your anxiety from a mile away . I hope you stop thinking of those negative things, so that you can stay healthy and happy . If you continue to stress over the things you can't change, the kids you're trying to help will notice something and it might make them a bit more gloomy . So smile my pretty little teacher, smile for the children that you're trying to save, and most importantly smile for yourself .

Don't worry about the small stuff . Like I said before, everything is going to be alright, there's no need to worry . As long as I'm here, I'll shoot down all the bad things away . So Sarah I will do my very best to end the war, and when that happens I have something important to say to you .

P . S . I'll be ing back to look at you're beautiful paintings .

From yours truly

Kyle"

Reading the letter made Sarah smile as tears fell down her face . She then started laughing a bit, as she hugged the paper hoping that it would somehow give her courage .
