Although Nathan felt pity for the two kids, he did not act rashly.
He controlled the drone to fly near the kids and started observing them.
From up close, Nathan saw just how dirty they were but just continued to look at them.
The two drooled as they watched a kid from the window eating a fried chicken with relish.
They gulped as they watched the kid take a bite of the chicken.
At this time, as they were engrossed with watching, a person who obviously is the manager of the fast food based on his uniform came out with an unsightly face.
His eyes were fixed at the two while slowly walking towards them.
Seeing this, Nathan thought something bad might happen and was about to step out of his car.
But something unexpected happened.
The manager tapped the two kids, who did not notice him at all, on the shoulder to get their attention and handed them a plastic bag.
From the drone, Nathan heard the manager say, "You two, stop staring at the customer. Here, take this and eat it somewhere."
The manager did not even wait for them to react before turning back and going inside the fast food restaurant.
Before the door closed, the kids finally reacted, "Thank you so much!"
Then left hurriedly, heading somewhere else.
Watching that, Nathan heaved a sigh of relief, "Phew~ I almost thought he would shoo them away."
Then he controlled the drone to follow the kids and they arrived in a dark and damp alley a few blocks away from the fast food restaurant.
The girl who seems to be the younger sibling looks at the plastic given by the manager on the hand of the boy with shining eyes.
The boy noticed that and smiled, "Sister, just wait a little, in a bit we will have something to eat."
"Oum, oum!" The girl nodded her head obediently but did not take her eyes away from the plastic.
"First, let's pray and thank God that we have something to eat today." The boy said.
The two clasped their hands and closed their eyes, praying for their food to be blessed.
"Almighty Father, thank you for the food that we have received today. Because of that, we will once again be able to survive for another world. I am praying to you, oh, Lord, to continue giving us more food–"
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Especially fried chicken because it's my favorite, Papa God!"
The boy peeked at his little sister who suddenly interjected with a helpless smile on his face.
He closed his eyes again and continued the prayer, "Yes, Papa God, more fried chicken for my little sister. In the name of our savior, Amen."
After the prayer, the little girl couldn't wait anymore and urged her brother to open the plastic immediately.
"Brother, open it, open it!"
"Okay, okay, I will open it now."
The boy opened the plastic and inside, there was a container.
Taking it out, lots of food was shown to the two as wide smiles appeared on their faces, especially the little girl.
Meanwhile, Nathan who was sitting inside his car, stared at the container in the hands of the kids with a dark expression.
"I thought that I misjudged the character of that manager, but it seems like I was correct in the end."
The reason Nathan said this is because, the foods inside the container are obviously leftovers by the customer of the restaurant that should have been thrown to the trash.
By its appearance, it almost looks like food that should be given to the pigs!
Unlike him who's face darkened at the sight of such 'food', the two seem to be used to this and still thankful.
Nathan was not able to take it anymore and stepped out of the car and headed towards the alley where the two were resting.
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he was able to see face to face the appearance of the boy and girl who looked to be 6 and 10 respectively.
Subsequently, the two also saw the stranger that suddenly came to the alley while looking at them intently.
Scared, the two stopped their movements and lowered their heads.
Their appearance can be compared to a puppy that was scared of being hurt, hiding in the corner.
Nathan felt that they are more pitiful because of this.
Sighing, he walked towards the two and stopped in front of them.
Crouching down, he looked at the boy face to face, and with a serious expression, he asked, "What's your name, kid?"
The boy slowly looked up and saw Nathan staring at him.
Seemingly fearful of him, the boy timidly replied, "I-I, my name is Bruce…"
"Okay, Bruce, where are your parents?"
Hearing the word parents, the face of Bruce turned sorrowful.
But he still answered Nathan's question, "T-that, we don't know… They just told us to wait for them at the park but they did not come back."
After hearing that, Nathan already knows that these two kids were abandoned by their parents for whatever reason.
Feeling sad, Nathan sighed. He gazed at the 'food' not far away and said, "Are you really going to let your sister eat that?"
Bruce followed Nathan's gaze and saw the food in the container.
The sorrowful look never disappeared on his face.
To be honest, Bruce also knows that this food doesn't look to be for human consumption anymore.
But since they have nothing else to eat, he can only grit his teeth and accept what is given to them even if it's dog food just to survive for a day.
Seeing his appearance, Nathan did not continue to ask further as he already knew the answer just by looking at his face.
He stood up and grabbed the container.
Bruce's little sister reacted when she saw this.
"No! Don't take our food, please. Please, sir!" She cried and tightly held onto Nathan's shirt, dirtying it.
However, he was not disgusted by this at all, he raised his hand and was about to pat the girl.
But Bruce seems to have thought of something else and shouted,
"Please don't hurt my sister!"
