Chapter 372 - Family Picnic (1/2)

Weekend.

Jessy met her mother in the canteen for lunch.

”Mom, I'm going to spend the whole day with Adam and Nana Aida in the mansion tomorrow. Why don't you go with me to visit the mansion even for just a few hours? I can fetch you here at noon. Don't worry nothing bad will happen in the mansion, unlike previously in the food festival...” her voice trailed off.

Sarah stared at her daughter's face. ”Don't worry about me, daughter, I'm no longer thinking of what happened in the food festival, I have forgotten that incident. I don't mind visiting the mansion once again. Let me ask your father's permission first, okay?”

”Yes! I'm sure father will allow you Mom, after all, it's our home!” Jessy said excitedly.

”Alright, finish your food,” Sarah ordered.

”Aye, Mother dear!” Jessy obeyed and finished eating the rest of the rice, steamed fish and stir fry vegetables on her plate. ”Hmm, yummy, the fish and vegetables taste so good!” she raved.

Sarah smiled in amusement. ”I wonder if there's a food you don't like eating, daughter?” she asked.

”I eat everything, Mom, except bats, dogs, cats, rabbits, snake, and other exotic animals,” Jessy answered.

Sarah grinned.

A few minutes later, mother and daughter finished eating their meals in the canteen. Sarah went back to her office while Jessy sauntered back to the clinic for another session of blood transfusion.

On the way to the clinic, she made a detour and went down to the Core. She needs to convince her father to permit her mother to go with her to the mansion.

She arrived at the core just in time before her father goes back to the tunnel to resume their job.

”Dad, wait for a minute!” she shouted.

Hector smile seeing her daughter bouncing her way towards him. ”What is it, daughter?”

”I need to talk to you about something...” she said breathlessly.

”Okay, let's go to my office and talk there,” Hector signaled the others to go on without him.

Hector and Jessy proceed into the tiny room where the gold nuggets were being kept securely.

Hector looked at his daughter. ”What is it, child? You want some gold nuggets?” he inquired.

Jessy shook her head. ”No Dad. I'm not here for gold, I'm here for Mom. I will visit the mansion tomorrow and I want to bring Mom to the mansion with me. Give her your permission, please? And how about if you two will go with us for a change? Yeah...see new environment once in a while...and besides it's been a long time that you and mom have not set foot in the mansion. Why don't you guys go with me? I would be very happy...” she said, her face was brimming with excitement. ”Pleaseeee!” she begged.

Hector stared at his daughter's excited face for a few minutes.

”Alright, your mother and I will go with you to the mansion. Happy now?” he said smiling at his daughter.

Jessy can't contain her happiness, her eyes welled up, she hugged his father tightly. ”Thank you so much, Dad, this means a world to me!”

”Anything else, daughter?” Hector asked, wanting to do more for her to make her happy.

”Hmm, I just want to inform you that I hired a homeless man from the street to work in the mansion and be Nana Aida's companion. Hope it's okay with you, Dad, his name is Grandpa Waldo, he is a good man, Adam and I like him a lot,” she explained apprehensively fearing that her father would scold her for doing such a thing without his permission.

Hector's face displayed a bright smile, it's meant to wipe his daughter's apprehension. ”Don't worry daughter as long Grandpa Waldo is a good man, I have no problem with him working in the mansion, besides, Nana Aida needs a companion because the mansion is enormous it would be lonely and hard for a lone woman to work on it alone,” he clearly understood Nana Aida's situation.

”Thank you, Dad, for your understanding! Let's travel tomorrow by car...” she said.

Hector brows furrowed. ”Huh? Why don't you just use your power and teleport us directly into the mansion? It will save us time during traveling,” he said.

Jessy grinned. ”I can use my power, but for your information, Grandpa Waldo might have a heart attack if he suddenly sees us appearing in the living room of the mansion without further notice, he's completely blind about our real identity, unlike Nana Aida,” she explained.

”Ah, I see. No problem. I guess I will just leave everything to you since you are the one who invited me?” he said cheekily.
