Chapter 386 - 382 When will I see my family?

((( Jasmin POV's )))

"What happened?" someone suddenly asked and pushed a tray on my table.

"Derick?"

"I've been watching you from that counter. I've just done my work here. What happened?"

I didn't answer.

"Have you met Rhio?" I shook my head.

"So, you have no plans to show yourself yet?" he offered me some food.

"...I do want to…but…"

"But?"

"...Do you know Ivy Ley?"

Derick's scrunched his forehead then shook his head.

"Nope. But her family name sounds familiar. What about her?"

"She stopped me from going."

Derick bit his burger. Just seeing him felt very different. He changed a lot.

"Why did you let her stop you? You were there for your family and not for her."

"Because...she didn't want me to come in...She said I'm just going to bother them again. And most of all, she said that my son recognizes as his mother."

"Cunning," Derick grinned. "But if Rhio heard that...he might've hit her although she's a woman. She's obviously the one who was interfering. I think you better rest first before going back and facing Rhio again."

"Derick..."

"Believe me...that idiot is excited to see you again. He wouldn't just believe that you're dead."

"Maybe you're right."

"It's safer if you stay in our house for the day. People might recognize you and know that you're still alive. The bad guys that tried to kill you might just hunt for you again."

I was wordless.

Indeed, I needed to rest first.

"That's if...you still trust me," he said.

I'm just smiled and nodded.

He pulled my suitcase took me to the house he was referring to. Even his lifestyle has changed? His life on the silver platter was gone?

We were met by a pregnant woman.

"Our landlady," Derick whispered to me.

"I thought you'd be going home late. Your daughter is still asleep. Who is she?" the landlady asked.

"My friend. I'll let her stay for today in our house." She just nodded.

We entered an alley that was overlooked by a small flower garden. The isle between it led directly to the door of a small house. To my surprise, it was the second floor already.

It looked cute.

The living room sat next to a dining table and a pair of separate stairs for two bedroom. Derick's daughter met us inside.

"Auntie...Jasmin."

"I'll be staying here today...if that's okay with you," I smiled at her.

Aby looked at his father and nodded vigorously.

"You will be sharing room with Auntie Jasmin today, okay?"

"Yes, Dad." Aby helped me pull my suitcase upstairs.

I can't help but think about my son too.

Maybe Rhio raised our son well... And hopefully…what Ley said wasn't true.

I sat down on the bed.

"We're sleeping beside each other here!"

"Alright..." I smiled again.

"Uhm…I'll be going downstairs." I nodded.

When Aby went out of the room, I suddenly found myself looking outside the window. I was left asking myself...

When will I see my family?
