Bab 110
David tiba di kamar Jacey dan mencoba membuka pintu. Namun, itu sia-sia, karena Jacey telah menguncinya dari dalam.
“Tok tok.”
David mengetuk pintu dan berkata, “Ini aku, Jace, buka pintunya.”
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.

“Apa yang terjadi, Jas? Katakan padaku,” kata David sambil berjalan untuk menepuk bahu Jacey.

“Dave! Quin hit my mom! I’m going to f*cking kill him, but my dad won’t let me go! Just because my dad’s a coward doesn’t mean I am too!” Jacey said angrily.
David smacked the back of Jacey’s head and reprimanded, “Excuse me? Who talks about their dad like that, huh?”
“I’m not wrong!” Jacey refuted.
“Your dad’s not being a coward, he’s being logical. What if something happened to him? What will happen to you and your sister? Your mom’s back is weak, she can’t do anything too straining. Your dad’s the one holding your whole family up, he already has enough on his hands. How can you call him a coward?”
“If he can’t afford to go, then at least let me! But he won’t let me go out.”
“Stop saying that you’re going to kill people here and there. Your mom’s going to be heartbroken if something happens to you. This happened because of me, so let me resolve this, okay? I promise I’ll get justice.”
“Really?” Jacey asked.
“Of course! Just you wait! Once Aunt Sally’s back recovers, we’ll go and take revenge for Aunt Sally!’
“Alright! You said it, Dave!”
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. “Aunt Sally! How are you feeling?”
“Dave? Why are you here?” Sally asked.
