Sorcha Knight In The City 16 Scolded

The driver Sorcha left was walking back and forth nervously outside the car. His young miss have been gone for over an hour now. Because she told him to wait for her here, he has no choice but to stay there anxiously.

'What should I do? What if young miss was caught in danger?' he said inwardly making him even more nervous.

After a while of waiting, that seems to be forever for him, he finally saw the silhouette of Sorcha. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly widened his eyes in horror.

Sorcha whose hair is unkept, her uniform with traces of burns, and most especially with a bandaged hand walked towards him.

"Young miss! What happened to you?" He said feeling his heart dropping.

"Uh, I helped someone and accidentally burned my hand a bit. This is nothing." She said. "Don't worry I'm fine."

'Nothing?' shouted the driver in his mind. 'Young miss ah! I'd get a thorough scolding from boss surely!" He calmed himself then asked Sorcha, "Are you sure miss? Should we go to the hospital?"

"No need. I'm really fine. Let's go home." Sorcha ordered.

Once again, he can only nod his head reluctantly.

The moment they stepped into the mansion, Aria instantly saw Sorcha. Panicking, she ran fast to her and made a rundown inspection.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Aria said with obvious concern in her voice.

"It's just a small incident that's all." Sorcha said as to not worry her mother more.

"No, tell me what happened." She insisted. "Aunt Claire! Can you get my first aid kit please?"

"Okay madam." Aunt Claire replied.

"Mom this is really nothing. I'm only burned a bit. Besides it's already been treated." She said softly. Feeling warm in her heart. 'it really feels good when somebody looks out for you.' she thought.

"What's happening here?" Anthony suddenly appeared and walked towards them.

"Our daughter is injured!" Aria immediately said.

Anthony tightens his forehead. "What happened?" He asked the driver.

"Sir.." The driver said everything that happened nervously with his head down.

The room temperature seems to drop all of a sudden.

"Why did you do that?" Anthony said with anger after piecing everything that happened.

Sorcha whose head was down stood there quietly. 'Father is actually angry.'

"Answer me." Her dad's voice was heard again.

"I.. I just wanted to help." She said while avoiding her father's eyes.

"That's not what's important!" Anthony shouted.

Sorcha felt scared to her father for the first time. Her father who always act the 'good father role', who has never even lifted a single finger to her, for the first time, got mad at her.

"Do you know you're wrong?" He asked her.

"I know." She replied with a voice barely audible. "But.. I just did what a good soldier should do."

"Ha ha!" Anthony laughed in madness. "A soldier? Are you a soldier yet?"

Sorcha abruptly shuts her mouth. Standing obediently there like a good child.

"You haven't even experienced training and you're already playing soldier! You don't even know how to protect yourself, yet you went and saved someone else already!" Anthony's voice was shaking.

"I'm.. I'm sorry dad." Sorcha said feeling guilty. Being a knight in her past life, it was instinctual for her to save someone. It's just that, she forgot that the her now, is but a fourteen year old child.

"Anthony, let's make her rest first okay?" Aria tried to comfort his husband. Anthony's expression visibly soften after he heard his wife. Then he sighed and looked towards his daughter who he's always proud of.

"I know that you wanted to help, but there's always another way of doing that. Remember not to do things out of your capabilities." He said. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have shouted towards you."

Sorcha's eyes turned red instantly, she choked then said with a quivering voice, "No dad, it is I who's wrong. I'll remember father's teaching."

Seeing his daughter trying hard not to cry, Anthony both felt happy and sad. He went and hugged his daughter.

"Shh, it's fine already. I was just too worried. I'm glad you're safe." He said softly.

Feeling for the first time in this lifetime the genuine love of her parents, the ice that enveloped her heart after experiencing too much pain in her past life, instantly melted. Tears that she tried hard to control, flowed continuously from her eyes. She cried her eyes out like a little kid as she hugged her father back.

"I'm sorry father, mother, I'm sorry." She said. Not knowing whether she's sorry about what she did today, or about how she's been neglecting her parents all this time. She cried hard, letting out all the pent up feelings she felt inside. Her heart that's been carrying all regrets in her past life, felt lighter. Now that she have someone who loves her again, she won't feel alone anymore, she thought.
