Chapter 77 Skeleton! (2/2)
Nana Aida returned her hug. ”It's been a while since your last visit, how are you doing? How's your mother and father?” she asked.
”They are fine, busy with work.”
Nana Aida turns off the remote control of the television.
”Have you eaten your dinner already? I will cook something for you,” she offered.
”No need, Nana, I'm full.”
”Are you going to stay here tonight?” she asked.
”No, some other time perhaps,” she replied.
Jessy's face turned serious. ”Nana, I'm here to ask you something, what happened after Adam died? I remembered that I passed out after drinking his blood.”
Nana Aida's face went pale.
Jessy examined her Nanny's face thoroughly.
”Why are you asking all these, Jessy?”
”Because I have a feeling that Adam is alive,” she said.
The older woman was stunned. Did Jessy already discover that Adam is alive?
”How did you know? I mean why you said that he was alive?” she asked again.
”I never said he was alive. I said I have a feeling he was alive,” Jessy said.
”So please tell me, Nana. What happened after I passed out?”
Nana Aida was trying to sort out the conflict in her head. To reveal the truth to Jessy or not? If she will tell her the truth the Queen will be very angry at her for violating her promise. But a little bit of truth can't possibly harm her.
The older woman sighed. ”When I check you both in your room, I found out that Adam already died and you passed out. So, I cut the tip of your fingers and fed your blood to Adam's already cold lifeless mouth.”
Jessy's heart suddenly starts beating faster...she's eager to know the rest.
”...then what happened after?”
Nana Aida cleared her throat...
”Nothing happens, Adam was still dead. Until Prince Zain, his men and the Queen arrives bringing a black coffin with them. They placed Adam's dead body inside the coffin. The Queen cried a river in front of her son's dead body. Then afterward, the Prince's men brought the coffin into your rose garden. The grave was already dug and they lowered the casket, we scattered roses on it before the vampires finally covered it with soil. Then after a few minutes, all the vampire had gone back to the Facility. I slept late that night hoping and thinking Adam will come back to life since I already fed him your blood, but I waited in vain. That's all...”
Jessy observe Nana Aida's face carefully, she can see that she was telling the truth. She sighed. She was about to give up but her heart and mind refused to surrender to hopelessness.
She stood up. ”Come with me, Nana.”
”Where?” Nana Aida asked bewildered.
”Into Adam's grave. I want to see his dead body inside the coffin,” she said.
”Huh? You mean to say you will dig his grave right now?” she went pale again.
”Yes. I just want to make sure that he is already dead so that my mind can rest in peace.”
Jessy was heading towards the kitchen, the hard determination was etched on her face.
Nana Aida followed Jessy in grim silence. She sighed deeply. This is not gonna end well tonight!
When they were finally in front of the grave. Jessy uses her power to part the soil, the soil starts piling up in both sides. After a few minutes, the coffin's surface can now be seen from above.
Jessy inhaled air sharply out of anticipation. Then she waved her hand swiftly and the lid of the coffin was thrown to the other side showing an empty coffin...
The coffin was empty and there was no skeleton inside!
That means one thing...
Jessy closed her eyes...her heart was pounding fast, she had difficulty breathing. Then she crumbled to the ground, fat tears were now rolling down her face. She cried in anguish and happiness!
”Adam is alive, Nana!” she exclaimed excitedly, her voice was full of expectation and happiness.
”Maybe his family took his body back into the Facility and buried it there,” Nana Aida suggested. She doesn't want to go all the way with her revelation to Jessy.
”Maybe, but I highly doubt that,” she said wiping her tears away.
She rose to her feet and started dumping back the soil covering the coffin until the grave was brimmed full to the surface.
”I'm going upstairs, Nana.” She wanted to see his room to find out some clues.
Inside his room, she found out that some of his clothes were missing. His laptop and his smartphone were gone along with his black garments and other important things.
Adam was definitely alive but he just vanished without a trace, without even seeing her? That would be impossible! He would never do such a thing unless there's a big reason why he has to stay away from her.
Where is he now?
Where can she find him?
Why he didn't even show himself to her after he was being resurrected?
He doesn't love her anymore?
Is he related to the invisible man?
Or was he the invisible man himself?
A lot of question was swimming in her head, she's experiencing a massive headache beginning to pound hard on her head, she lay down in his bed wanting to rest for a while.
She got to find him before the wedding takes place!
