Chapter 288 Secret Sideline (1/2)
Jessy was lying in the clinic bed one hour after Adam went home. She was holding Olivia's index card in her right hand. Based on the info Olivia had written on the card, the first address is where her son was left alone after she was gone missing, she was renting that small house, and one night when she took the garbage out of the house a vampire appeared out of nowhere and abducted her.
The second address is where her parents live, presumably, the son would be sent to the address of Olivia's parents since they were the child's nearest kin.
After the blood transfusion, she will visit Olivia later for further clarification.
Two hours later.
Jessy exited the clinic.
She sauntered towards the living quarters of the rescued humans, going to the room where Olivia was located.
When she opened the door, the room was empty but she heard the sound of water in the shower, Olivia was inside the bathroom.
Jessy sat down on one of the beds, waiting for the woman to finish her shower.
A few minutes later.
Olivia came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. When her eyes landed on Jessy, she was surprised for a moment and then her face broke into a smile. ”Hi Jess!” she greeted her visitor with a cheerful voice.
”Hi Olivia,” Jessy smiled and returned the woman's greetings. ”I want to talk to you for a minute,” she said.
”Okay,” Olivia sat down on the opposite bed facing Jessy.
”I'm going to visit the second address you wrote in your index card here. I just need some clarification from you,” Jessy showed the woman her index card with her written info.
Olivia asked, ”What is it that you want to know, Jess?”
”I'm just curious when you wrote that you are just cleaning some neighbors' houses and stuff like that...but you were able to afford the rent of a small house? And why you need to rent a house when you can stay with your parents?” Jessy asked.
Olivia breathed deeply for a few seconds, what she's going to reveal won't be easy for her. ”My parent's house is very small, besides I have two siblings also living there and the house has no extra room because we are very poor. My misery started when I meet this wonderful guy and fall in love with him, he got me impregnated and our son was born, unfortunately, the guy I fall in love with left me and my son after he realized that my son is mentally ill. He was afraid of dealing with the difficult challenges and responsibility that lies ahead. One day, he left me and our son and I never heard from him ever again. Since he can no longer support me and my son's financial needs, I was forced to accept washing dirty clothes of my neighbors and sometimes I clean their houses upon their request. But my income is not sufficient. And my son sometimes gets sick and requires medicine. I simply have no savings for rainy days. There are several times that no one wants my services...”
Olivia paused for a moment, her face has that look of agony etched in her eyes and a profound shadow of sadness blanketed her face. Then she continues talking...
