Bab 110
David tiba di kamar Jacey dan mencoba membuka pintu. Namun, itu sia-sia, karena Jacey telah menguncinya dari dalam.
âTok tok.â
David mengetuk pintu dan berkata, âIni aku, Jace, buka pintunya.â
Setelah beberapa saat, suara pintu dibuka bisa terdengar, tapi pintu tetap tertutup.
David mendorong membuka pintu dan masuk, hanya untuk melihat Jacey marah di tempat tidur.
Jacey baru berusia enam belas tahun tahun ini, belajar tahun pertamanya di sekolah menengah di Kota Shu. Ayahnya Yousef telah menarik banyak koneksi untuk mendaftarkan Jacey ke sekolah menengah yang bagus.
Jacey saat ini dalam usia pemberontak, jadi dia ingin membalas dendam ketika ibunya dipukuli.
Wajar jika dia merasa marah ketika ayahnya menyuruhnya tinggal di rumah.
âApa yang terjadi, Jas? Katakan padaku,â kata David sambil berjalan untuk menepuk bahu Jacey.
âDave! Quin hit my mom! Iâm going to f*cking kill him, but my dad wonât let me go! Just because my dadâs a coward doesnât mean I am too!â Jacey said angrily.
David smacked the back of Jaceyâs head and reprimanded, âExcuse me? Who talks about their dad like that, huh?â
âIâm not wrong!â Jacey refuted.
âYour dadâs not being a coward, heâs being logical. What if something happened to him? What will happen to you and your sister? Your momâs back is weak, she canât do anything too straining. Your dadâs the one holding your whole family up, he already has enough on his hands. How can you call him a coward?â
âIf he canât afford to go, then at least let me! But he wonât let me go out.â
âStop saying that youâre going to kill people here and there. Your momâs going to be heartbroken if something happens to you. This happened because of me, so let me resolve this, okay? I promise Iâll get justice.â
âReally?â Jacey asked.
âOf course! Just you wait! Once Aunt Sallyâs back recovers, weâll go and take revenge for Aunt Sally!â
âAlright! You said it, Dave!â
David brought Jacey out and they sat in the living room, waiting for Lily to bring breakfast over.
In the living room, David told Uncle Yousef he wanted to bring Aunt Sally to River City for treatment.
Yousef gave it some thought and agreed, then he called his superior and asked for a leave.
He wanted to bring Sally to the large hospitals in River City a long time ago, but Sally always refused.
In truth, Sally just wanted to keep the expenses low. After all, Yousef was the only one working in this household and their current expenses were already pretty high.
Sally woke up not too long after.
David quickly rushed over. âAunt Sally! How are you feeling?â
âDave? Why are you here?â Sally asked.
