Chapter 330 - Proud Of What You Become (2/2)
Hector was silent for a while. He nearly has forgotten that his wife is a mortal being and not a vampire like him. If it's dangerous for a vampire to go to public places and risk the chance to be discovered, but on Sarah's case, it shouldn't be dangerous to explore the outside world again because his wife is human after all. What bad can happen to a human when she's with the same people of her kind?
”Dad, please allow Mom and I to go out sometime,” she pleaded after seeing that his father seemed to be having difficulty agreeing to her request.
”You know what daughter—? Your mother didn't complain even once that she's been holed up here with me inside the Facility for a long time. She didn't ask me to take her outside, so I kind of accepted the fact that she's perfectly at home here with us...I never know that some part of her wants to see her world again,” Hector said sadly.
Jessy looked at his father. ”Dad, that's not what I mean. Mom didn't even complain about her situation here. I just offer her one day to bring her to the city for a change. If I didn't suggest to her that we will go out, she won't even talk openly about this topic to me. Please, don't quarrel with her,” she said.
Hector smiled. ”Nah, don't worry, child. This is just a small issue. I've been grateful for your mother for sticking with me through thick and thin without complaining even once...”
”Because she loves you so much, Dad!” she responded.
Hector chuckled. ”Yeah, she did! Because of that, I will allow you to bring your mother to the city but on one condition...”
”What is the condition, Dad?”
”You should take care of her and protect her, okay?”
”Yes, I will, Dad! You can count on me, when it comes to mother's safety it's my top priority. I promise you that after we roamed the city I will bring her back without a scratch on her body,” she declared confidently.
Hector looked at his daughter, not doubting her words. The best person who can protect Sarah is no other than their daughter. He will be a bad husband and bad father if he will deny them their rights to have bonding moments together as mother and daughter.
”Okay, your request granted, so when you and your mother will go to the city?” he inquired.
”Anytime, whenever her schedule and my time allows because we are both busy women,” she said. ”Thank you, Dad, for being understanding,” she said softly. She was thinking of bringing her father along with them to the city one day so that they can bond together as one family. ”Why don't you come with us, Dad?” she suggested, thrilled with the thoughts of having both mother and father out in the open.
Hector smiled tenderly at his only child. ”Just bring your mother home safely, that's all I'm asking from you, daughter, as for your wish to see your mother and I bonding together that sounds a nice idea but we have to ask the royal couple's permission first!” he said.
Jessy pouted. ”Eh? Why can't we go out anytime? Why do we have to ask the King and Queen's permission first?” she pouted. ”Why Adam and I can come and go freely out of the Facility anytime we want?” she asked frowning.
”Because my dear daughter...the King and the Queen have no restriction for both of you 'coz they trusted you guys. You and Adam will become the future leader of the vampire clan, you are allowed to explore the world and learn everything on your own so that one day you will be deserving and worthy to lead the vampire clan. The royal couple knew that you've been going in and out of the Facility, but they never put a restriction on your nor sent vampires to spy on you because they simply trusted you, they were expecting that you always do the right thing by putting the clan's well being in your hands first. That is one way of shaping the future leader to be the best that they can be. No question ask,” Hector explained.
Jessy was silent for a moment. She was wondering how the royal couple would react if they will know that she saved the son of the savaged vampire leader, what would they think of her decision? But it's not the time to think about it.
”Just take care of yourself and your mother when you are out in the city enjoying your bonding moments together, okay?” Hector repeated.
”Aye, consider it done, Sir!” she replied jokingly and rose to her feet. ”I'm leaving now back to the middle...I mean to the clinic, Dad,” she tiptoed and kissed her father's cheek.
She was waving her hands to her father while walking towards the door.
Hector waved back at his daughter, proud of the woman that she had become.
