Chapter 274
Sitting on the bed covered with white sheets, Heidi mustered all her strength to embrace the fawn's neck and squealed in a soft voice, "Stay here, little deer. You're wounded, so you shouldn't run around."
Jacob beamed from ear to ear when he saw his adorable daughter acting like an adult. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Just then, the scent of perfume spread in the air as Keysha led Fiona into the room. "Hey, Mr. Lynch, it's getting late. We shall excuse ourselves first."
Looking at the charming, beautiful face, Jacob lifted his brows and hummed indifferently, "I thought you'd already left."
"Indeed, it's time for me to go." Keysha nodded slightly with a profound expression.
"See you then." Jacob waved his hand.
"If there's a chance in the future…"
Keysha's voice stuck in her throat. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and said, "Hope to see you again."
Initially, she intended to become acquainted with Jacob, but alas, she was too reckless and provoked the Hunter's Association, a powerful organization. She had heard that all members of Hunter's Association were brutal and merciless. Those who offended this association would not be able to live in peace!
Keysha sighed and led her daughter out of the ward.
Holding Keysha's hand, Fiona turned to gaze at the fawn reluctantly as she desired to keep one too.
"Bye, Fiona!" Sitting on the bed, Heidi shook her legs and encircled the deer's neck with one hand while waving at her classmate with another hand.
Jacob nodded in satisfaction because it was rare for Heidi to actively engage with her friends.
Standing at the end of the bed, Moira said worriedly, "I can't believe you're still smiling. It's the Hunter's Association! The name itself sounds evil."
"I'm not a good person either." Jacob tilted his head to look at Moira with a smile.
Sitting beside the bed, he caressed Heidi's braid and asked gently, "Are you hungry? Shall we go for some nice food?"
"Yeah!" Heidi nodded.
After pausing for a while, she lifted her face, which was filled with anticipation. "Can I bring the deer back and keep it?"
"No!" Before Jacob could say anything, Moira directly rejected the request. "Be good, Heidi, we can't keep a deer at home. Let's send it back to the zoo later, alright?"
Heidi embraced the deer's neck tightly and pouted.
Jacob's heart ached when he saw tears brimming in Heidi's eyes. He caressed her head and cooed gently, "As long as you want, I'll let you keep a herd of deers, let alone one."
"Stop spoiling her!" Moira shot a glare at Jacob. "Deers are not domestic animals. We don't have enough space for it to roam around.
Jacob was reminded of the scene in Sector E when he heard Moira's comment. If Heidi can play there every day, she must be overjoyed! I'm going to ask Jerry to investigate that place later.
As for Hunter's Association, so what if it's ten times more powerful than The Meteorites? Three hundred Dragon Guardians could easily annihilate them!
Just as murderous intention crept into Jacob, he sensed an intense aura from outside the door. Following that, a loud sound of neat marching footsteps approached from afar and suddenly ceased when it reached the door.
