Chapter 449 - NEGOTIATION: PART III (1/2)
Out of nowhere, Sam appeared along with a gardener and was carrying a long ladder.
”Make way my dear princess.” Jackie declared as the gardener extended the ladder to Elizabeth's bedroom window.
Elizabeth looked down at Sam who had changed at all. She couldn't open her mouth to greet her but her tears fell down seeing her.
Sam notices those tears and says nothing and only smiles back. It was enough for her to see her young miss and seeing her laughing earlier was satisfying already.
Meanwhile, in Lord Knightly's office. One of the surveillance guard came knocking at his door.
”Come in.”
”My lord, I have something to report.”
”What is it?”
”Miss Jackie, has...”
Lord Knightley went to check the surveillance himself by accessing it through his computer. He saw his daughter laughing with Jackie's ridiculous humor. Seeing his daughter smiling and shedding such tear make him think.
”Let it be.”
Sooner or later his daughter will find out about the truth and it is best that she finds out now rather than doing something crazy.
As Jackie climbed up the ladder with a few snacks she took from the kitchen it didn't take long before she was able to reach Elizabeth's room.
”Here you go, and that would be 100 dollar including tip.” Jackie handed the basket of snacks to Elizabeth as she grabbed it and placed it down to hug Jackie.
”I miss you too.”
Jackie slowly moved her arms to hug the girl. She tried her best not to cry at all. ”Can I go in first, I fear that I might fall any minute.”
”Oh, sorry... Please, come in.”
After she went inside, Jackie went and gave Elizabeth another hug. ”It's good to finally see you again.”
”Jackie, I'm sorry, I-”
”It's fine, I know you have your reason but please tell me, what happened?”
”Jackie, before that, I need to ask you something.”
Jackie was hesitant for a moment. She fears that the girl will ask her question which she must not answer, but will be too weak to dare not answer the girl.
”How long have I been asleep?”
”Well-”
”It's fine, we can do it the hard way or the easy way.”
”I mean, girl can you be a bit nice to me for a second. Why is that even important?”
”Jackie, has it been more than a month.”
”Kind of.” Jackie answers without revealing the truth. Specifically, she knows that the girl has been in a coma for almost three months. But before that, they don't know at all.
”That's fine.” Elizabeth said as she pondered on things. 'So, that means it's been at least two to three month or more since that day.'
”When was the last time you saw me?”
”That's easy, when you were in China.”
'So that part of my dream was true. Jackie did go to China as well, which means she must have met Yun Shen as well. Didn't we...'
”Did we last spend time with each other in my private beach house.”
”Huh?” Jackie looked confused and was about to speak when she realized she just stepped on a trap. ”Damn it!”
”Wait, we never went to the beach house?”
Jackie hesitate for a moment. She wonder what would be the best answer without revealing too much of the truth. ”We did visit your beach house but that was during college.”
Seeing the girl looked calmer and deep in thought. Jackie was relieved and was able to breath again.
'So, I never went to the beach house with Yun Shen and his friend. Does that mean...'
”Jackie, did I by chance become an actress?”
”Babes, did you hit or head or something. Of course you did, I mean, have you forgotten you star in a movie with your mom. The movie hit big time and even won an Oscar.”
