Chapter 197 Trying to Contact my Mother 1 (1/2)
Weeks have passed since the incident at the library. So far there were still no results in the investigation about the fire. It is still unknown to the public how the fire started.
Fortunately no one was injured severely. Satiana also recovered after a few days of rest. She has come back to her usual self except for one thing that I observed, she usually blushes when Jack is near us.
Like the usual day, after I have eaten my breakfast I come to visit my mother in her quarters. I was walking with William and Jack behind me through the hallway when I heard Satiana's voice.
”Big sis!” Satiana called out.
I turned around to see her trotting towards us. But by the time Jack turned around, she lessened her pace and became more graceful. This made me giggle lightly.
”Good morning big sister.” Satiana made a curtsy after stopping just in front of us.
”Good morning Sati.” I smiled. ”You seem a little bit hot. Your face is a little flushed. Have you been running all this way? Have you eaten breakfast yet?” I teased her.
Satiana's face became redder in an instant. ”N-Not yet big sis.” She said shyly.
”Well why not eat first. I won't be going anywhere you know.” I giggled. ”I will be in with my mother.”
”Okay.” Satiana replied. ”Are you going to the greenhouse this morning?” She asked.
”Yes, I will be going there a little bit later.” I replied.
”Then wait for me there big sis.” Satiana said. ”I will accompany you and aunty.”
”Okay.” I smiled while I look at Satiana's retreating back.
”The little princess is very fond of you isn't she?” Jack said with a low tone.
I looked at him curiously. It looks like he hasn't gotten any of the signs that Satiana has a crush on him.
”You know Jack, you are clever and all but you seem to be dense at some aspects.” I said with a neutral tone.
Jack looked at me curiously. ”Hey, where did that come from?”
I resumed my walk to the direction of my mother's room and William followed me behind.
”Hey, what aspect am I dense with princess?” Jack tried to nag me about it.
”Hehe, well if you can't see it then you really are dense.” I giggled.
Jack fell silent and looked at William with confusion written all over his face.
”Don't look at me like that. I also do not know what the princess is talking about.” William replied coldly.
The three of us resumed our walking until we arrived at my mother's room. Inside, Martha has prepared my mother to our walk towards the greenhouse. I have instructed Martha to come here beforehand to prepare my mother.
My mother was now wearing thick clothes and a winter coat over her body. She was sitting on the wheel chair provided by my aunt the queen.
”Good morning mother.” I greeted her with a smile. ”How have you been?”
