Chapter 277 You Dont Have To Feel lonely! (1/2)
It's been three days already since Jessy religiously throws herself into her blood transfusion duty, starting at 8:00 in the morning 'till midnight.
Right now, she was thinking that there's no need to visit Virgie because she was sure that the woman was doing well since she left her some money and the kids were already given back to her grandparent's care, so, no need to see her.
But then she kept thinking about her.
It wouldn't be much of a hassle if she will just visit Virgie later at 7:00 in the evening, that's what she's going to do.
Tonight will be the last time she will visit her.
Two hours later.
Jessy left the clinic to visit Antonia and the kids in the Habitat, she will also drop by to check on Grandma Alicia.
She walked down the tunnel, a moment later she emerged inside in the conference hall of the Habitat. She went directly to the flat were Antonia and the children were residing.
And what greeted her eyes put a broad smile on her lips and made her happy.
In the small living room...the children gathered around Granny Alicia. The children were trying to sketch her...lol
Alicia caught sight of Jessy. ”Come here, young lady, why don't you take my place? These kids think I'm a model or something...” she groaned.
Jessy laughed. ”Just take it easy Granny, once they got bored making your portrait, they will move on to another.”
Alicia looked at the drawing of the boys, she was horrified to see that her head was looking like a watermelon! ”Grrr! These kids murdered my portrait!” she feigned anger.
Jessy glanced at their sketches, some drew Alicia like an elephant, some drew her like a giant blob, they drew big eyes, nose, and mouth, complete with tails and horns, all their drawings were hilarious. She had to hold back her laughter afraid that Alicia will only get angrier.
Then the old woman laughed all of a sudden upon seeing the children's drawings and Jessy let go of her laughter that she was trying to hide, the kids looked at each other's drawing and they all erupted in peals of laughter.
When the laughter died down.
”Listened up kids, it's break time, let's allow Grandma Alicia to rest first—okay? In the meantime, why don't you watch cartoons on TV?” she said. She picked up the remote control and turn on the television and chose the kids channel that was currently showing a Peter Pan movie. The children shifted their attention to the show.
Jessy faced the old woman. ”Wow, fancy seeing you here, Granny!”
Alicia smiled. ”I'm never good with children, but it's not too late yet to enter their world and share their laughter and mischievousness.”
”So—how's the experience?” she asked.
”It's fun, but sometimes tiring because the kids have boundless energy and they would pester you about anything, they would ask me to tell them stories and we can go on for hours and hours and...Jesus... they would not want me to stop! They want me to continue telling them the story. So yeah, that's how it is.” explained Alicia.
Jessy asked, ”Where is Antonia? I can't see her?”
”Ah, she's in the laundry room, washing the kids' clothes, she will be back anytime now. So, I'm kind of doing some babysitting here while the Nanny is out,” Alicia smiled.
”You seemed to be doing a great job,” Jessy commented. ”Granny, did you come here every day to visit the children?”
”Yeah, sort of. You know...I just drop by and see how they are doing. Then Antonia and I will engage in some pleasant adult conversation together.”
”That's good! I'm happy that you find something worthwhile to do with your free time.”
”These kids want to swim in the pool earlier and I told them that they'd better wait for Antonia to return here so that she can accompany them in the pool, these mischievous children decided to draw my portrait instead. Later at 5:00 in the afternoon, we will be going to have a walk in the park for some light exercise,” Alicia said.
