Chapter 319 - Let Go of The Pain (2/2)

Jessy stood up and took a peek at the earthen jug, it's nearly empty! Whoa, he surely drinks a lot of water.

”I will get drinking water from the stream. I'll be right back!” she said. She picked up the jug and flew out of the window heading towards the stream.

After arriving on the stream, she filled the jug with water up to the brim and then hovered back into the treehouse.

After she landed in the treehouse and placed the jug near him, she noticed that Jagger wasn't interested in all the stuff she bought for him, all this time he remained silent. But she was not bothered, sooner or later when hunger strikes he will eat anything in sight.

Jessy opened the pack of sliced bread and the bottle of peanut butter, she picks up the spoon and spreads the peanut butter on the sliced bread evenly, she put the bread on the plate and placed it on Jagger's lap. She also made her peanut butter sandwich and began munching on the yummy bread.

Jessy glanced at him, he was still not eating the bread she gave him. ”Yummy!” she gushes and continues chewing on her food enticing him to grab a bite. ”What are you waiting for? Eat!” she urged him.

Jagger's hands finally reached for the bread on his lap and began munching on it.

She smiled at him, finally!

She took another slice of bread, then made him another peanut butter sandwich and put it on his plate.

She scooped water from the jug using the glass and placed the glass near him.

Jagger finished eating the bread in no time, then he drinks the water. ”Thank you,” he said in a low voice, he was keeping tabs on every little meaningful thing she did for him.

Jessy smiled. ”You're welcome!” she replied. After a few minutes of silence, she addressed him. ”So, tell me your story. Why are you attacking the Facility? Is it because we killed all your companions in the cave? That is why you want revenge?” she bombarded him with questions.

Jagger released a deep sigh. ”My hatred towards the king and his men run for many years. I witnessed how my father died in the hands of the king and my mother died in the hands of the king's men while trying to shield my father from the king's blows. I was still young during that time but I made an oath on their dead bodies that one day I will avenge their death and kill our enemies,” he narrated. A glimmer of anger leaped from his eyes.

Jessy shook her head, feeling sad, it's about anger and revenge again, so many people die because of revenge. Now she understood why Jagger's hatred towards the king runs so deep. ”What happens in the past—children should stay out of it! The fight between parents already ended in the past, the best thing you can do is put the past in rest. You should have let go of the pain and every negative thing you harbored inside and avoid nurturing revenge in your heart, the bloodshed in the cave could have been prevented...” she did not finish her words but sighed instead.

Jagger smiled painfully. ”So, Belle...tell me how can I make this pain and anger go away?” he asked her point-blank. All his growing up years was geared for revenge, vengeance was all that he ever wanted to do his whole life but he only got small success so far.
