Chapter 229 Ism Sorry (1/2)

The following day.

After breakfast, Jessy went to visit Antonia and the kids.

”Hi... Antonia...hello kids! Did they fed you well?” she looked at their faces. ”How are you doing kiddos?” she smiled at the children.

The kids smiled back at her for the first time.

Antonia smiled at the younger woman. ”Yes, they fed us well. We are doing fine here. The children are a little bit restless though...”

”Huh? why?” Jessy asked frowning.

”They usually go out of the cave during night time and play, but here they were holed to their rooms the whole day, I'm sorry about this—we shouldn't be complaining at all. Don't worry I will keep them busy,” Antonia said.

”Ah I see...kids will be kids...come here girls...sit on my lap,” Jessy grinned.

The three little girls went to sit on Jessy's lap. ”You want to play outside?”

They nodded their heads including the two boys.

”Do you know kids that there is a place nearby that you can play all day long under the sun? You can play in the swimming pool and run around the park and go to school as mortal children do!” she said.

”Really—where is that?” one of the girls about eight years old asked Jessy with curiosity in her eyes.

”I will take you there one day, do you wanna live there kids?” she asked.

”Yes!” they said in chorus, their faces brightened with curiosity and excitement.

”That's good! So, be good—okay? Don't give Antonia a headache!” she beamed at the children. ”Now you go and play there in the corner because Antonia and I are going to talk about adult stuff...” Jessy said.

The kids obeyed her order and huddled in the corner.

Jessy faced Antonia.

”Antonia, I'm sure you are aware of the prophecy of the crossbred, I am that girl they were talking about. In the coming days, I'm going to transform you and the kids into mortals so that you can relocate to the Habitat as soon as possible. Once you've become a mortal being you will no longer be dependent on human blood to keep living, you can eat human foods and live normally like everyone else. You can walk freely under the sun, the kids will have a normal life. Being a vampire is no longer practical in this era in which the anti-vampire vaccine can send all vampires to their doom. We have to adopt the ways of humans or else we will forever live in darkness fearing for our lives and surviving day by day with no promise of a bright future. So— are you ready to join the rest of the ex-vampires in the Habitat?” she asked her.

Antonia nodded her head. ”I'm willing to be converted into a mortal as long I can continue taking good care of the kids,” she said.

Jessy admired Antonia's dedication in providing maternal love and care to the kids, she remembered Nana Aida back in the mansion. The deep of Antonia's love for the children that weren't even born out of her womb was beyond amazing!

”Why are you willing to devote your time taking good care of these children when they weren't your own?” Jessy asked in wonderment.

Antonia smiled beautifully. ”These kids have no one, they lose everything, if I will abandon them they will roam these world with uncertainty and probably die early, they need someone to guide and nurture them. Kids need adults' love and warmth. It just so happen that—I also have no family of my own, so they become my instant family, the kids and I needed each other to survive in this world, we give each other a reason to continue living, so it's beneficial for both of us,” she explained with sincerity and honesty, goodness radiating in her eyes.

Jessy hugged Antonia tightly. ”Thank you for taking good care of the children, I know how they feel when they have no parents to nurture them when they were growing up, it's a difficult life, I've been there and survive those darkest times of my life, and here I am now,” she said misty-eyed.
