After Katherine gave Jilly a glass of water, she was left alone in the kitchen as requested. She drank the water as she looked outside of her backyard, she still had the hammock they put up together years ago. Why it was still there? She had no idea.
“It’s not in his tooth. I would probably say in the nape.” Kook said and Jilly turned around to face him and then nodded.
“Call Marcus and ask his private doctor to come here and do a little surgery,” Jilly said to him as she glanced at Cayne. She got disappointed again by him even though it was unintentional. “I’ll be upstairs when changes are notified.”
“Have you eaten, Jilly?”
“Yes,” she replied shortly and then got off the chair to walk up to her bedroom. “Don’t let anyone bother me.” She continued but it was spoken directly to Cayne if he got what she meant.
“I’ll try.” Kook couldn’t promise something that might be bro
The doctor came and so, Jilly was having a talk with him in the living room while Kook and Katherine prepare a room for the surgery. Cayne, he was all by himself in the backyard.“What do you want me to do if there is really a chip in him?” Lorence, the doctor asked Jilly before he proceed with the procedure of taking out the assumed chip inside of Cayne’s body. He needed to make sure and know what he should do to finish it cleanly.“Just give it to me and I’ll do the rest myself. I just need you to take it out of him.” Jilly replied while glancing at him and Cayne back and forth.“If I have a say, I would have destroyed it, it’s too dangerous, Jilly,” Lorence said. The man knew the history of Julliane and Bargin. At that time, he had to take care of a bloodied Jilly. Thankfully, she didn’t get any serious or deep wounds.“You think de
“She is a distant family of Bargin.” Kook said, seeing his confused face.“No, she’s not.” Marcus denied it.“She is,” Kook emphasized while looking at Marcus with a pointed look. Was he trying to cover up for her? That was what Kook think.“You’re wrong, Kook. She is not a distant family, she is their half-sister.” Marcus calmly spoke. “I’ve known from the start, Kook. Pensi che io sia stupido?” Feeling insulted, Marcus had to shut him up.(Do you think I am stupid?)“Forgive me, Marcus. We really need to end this problem before they get to her.”“I know that. That is why I sent her to see them.” Marcus gave a pointed gesture. “What you know might be the recent event, I told her to get in contact with them and now she is meeting them.” He
“Are you awake?” Jilly asked as she saw him move from her sightline. She was focused looking ahead while sitting at the edge of the bed.He groaned and cover his eyes because of the sudden brightness. He felt sore around his neck but carefully stretched it afraid of bruising it even more. He felt like a fool and people said it right to his face. He was supposed to take care of his family and not the other way around.“Yes.” He slowly sit up and sat next to her. “Are you okay? Is everything okay?” He asked as he placed his hand on top of her thigh.“I have the chip with me, we’ll wait for a while to get ready. You … need to stay in until then.” She said, still with a flat voice. She had a lot in her mind and to feel the right
Jilly stood before the opened door while looking ahead to the guests who just arrived. He changed much but she could tell that he was still papa’s boy. “Julliane,” he smiled brightly at her and then come forward and peck her on the lips in front of everyone. “It has been a while.” Since Jilly couldn’t move fast, she didn’t object to him. “Gael, I should really talk to your papa later to thank him,” Jilly spoke. “You can thank me instead, that old man is busy. How about the dinner I offer you years back?” He winked in a friendly but flirting way. When everything unfolded right in front of his eyes, he was being shielded by two people which were Marco and Kook under Katherine’s demand. “Dinner would be nice. Should I tell mama Mariah we would
“I missed her.” Both Jilly and Cayn were lying down on their back looking up at the ceiling in their bedroom. Only their breathing sound could be heard in the entire room, this felt like the silence before the storm. Cayne had his arms underneath his head while Jilly’s head made a pillow out of it. “Does she miss us?”“I’m sure she does,” Jilly replied to him.“Can you at least tell me what you are going to do with the chip?” Cayne turned his head to the side to see her face.“I told you that I’m going to use it.”“To bait them out?” She hummed in to respond with a small nod.“Let’s go out,” Jilly requested.“Right now?” She nodded. “In the middle of the night?” She nodded again. “Out of the house?” She finally turned
Since no one was willing to leave the house, Jilly reserved the library for the dinner. A more private room for Jilly to have a conversation with Gael. She seriously had a lot to talk about with him after she found out some interesting information about him and his life.“Did you tell Antonio before coming here?” Jilly started the conversation and sipped on her white wine. Their dinner menu was steak for Gael and pasta for Jilly.“Antonio?” Gael was almost choked by the asparagus he eat.“Antonio Delgerosso, a therapist, Marco’s friend.” Jilly listed what she was familiar with, his name, profession, and even relation. “Your boyfriend.” She finally said the fatal one, her intense eyes looking at him thoroughly.“I’m a bachelor, single as ever. What are you talking about, Jilly?” He chewed on his meat nervously and digest it down a
Jilly sighed out loud and dropped to the couch. It had been a few days since that dinner and Marcus was also had been silent.“You have improved a lot and fast but Julliane, try not to fight. I know that is what you are trying to achieve from this session. Can’t you just let the others help? Gael is here to help.” Antonio tried to convince Jilly to just rest and let the other do the work. He just didn’t know it yet that nothing and no one could change her mind, especially when it involve her family. All she wanted was for them not to get hurt, it was and always would be her battle.“Thank you for today,” Jilly said to him and he sighed. “Out now while I’m still being nice.” She looked at him, with so friendly eyes.
“War it is,” Jilly declared as soon as they got home. Kook was the first one who approached her.“They were there?” Kook asked as he already suspected because they had been keeping an eye on her for a while. “As expected.”“They know about Grace,” Cayne stated, joining them in the conversation. He couldn’t understand how they find out about their daughter when they had done everything to hide her. He listened to her and never contacted Marcus’s household for her safety but now it got leaked, someone from their side must have done that.“I told him to consider Rachel, but he seem to be convinced that she had nothing to do with them,” Kook said, pointing out his conversation with Marcus a while ago.“I’m going to visit him,” Jilly stated. “No company needed.”Cayne stopped himself
