Chapter 105: Knock knock
Tess had come to check if Lucian was still at home or not, after all Jackie had to stay out of the house most of the time but then she turned around and began to walk away.
Lucian opened the door slightly and looked at her, she looked all gloomy it was going to take some time before she got over all the trauma and could finally live normally.
*THUD*
Just then she stumbled upon her own leg and fell down, she looked to her left and then to the right then she stood up and after rubbing her knees she inhaled a long breath as if trying to stop herself from crying.
" Tess, are you okay? " Lucian spoke as he opened the door, she turned around immediately and looked at him in surprise then she ran towards him and hugged his leg.
" Brudderrrr "
" You woke up early, go take a bath then I'll bring you out to eat something. " Lucian said as he shuffled her hair.
She had short black hair which didn't even reach her shoulder, after hearing his words Tess looked at him with a big smile, displaying her pearl white teeth.
" Owkay. "
Then she let go of his leg and hastily ran towards her room but then she stopped midway and looked back at him with a strangely suspicious gaze and questioned.
" Brudder, you d- dis- dwisper? dispi- hmm? "
While speaking she forgot what she wanted to speak, then after staring at Lucian for a few seconds she again remembered what she was about to ask.
" Haha I am not going anywhere, so don't worry. " Lucian said, only then she nodded and again hurried to take a bath.
' Ah right I have school today, well I'll first have to do a few things today so I can't go. ' he thought, then he went back into his room to continue with his work, since he had just taken a bath a few hours ago.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
This time Tess knocked on the door and then waited outside, even though the door was open.
" Woah Tess is such a good girl, let's go out, what do you want to eat? " Lucian spoke as he stepped out of the room and held her hand, and then they walked out of the house together.
" Chwilly fooo. " Tess spoke, and since she thought that Lucian might not have understood her clearly, so she sucked in air through her mouth like we do when we eat something hot or chilly, while squinting her eyes.
" Oh so you want something chilly, heh no, we are going to eat something light for breakfast, then we are going to meet someone. "
He said, there weren't many good hotels around the place they were living, so they would have to travel to some other place.
' Maybe I should buy a car or bike, as for a license I can just create one on my own. ' Lucian thought, but for now, he booked a cab, his destination was a place where he was going to meet someone.
...
Not long after, their cab arrived and Tess was just as excited to ride it as she was the previous day, in less than an hour they arrived at their location, Lucian first decided to eat something so they went to a nice hotel.
After eating, Lucian planned to meet a woman named Angelina who was a maid and used to work in his house when Lucian's father was still alive, just like her name she was like an angel and a bit too innocent.
She was in her late fifties and her IQ was below average though she didn't have any problem in managing their house or with daily activities, after Lucian's father had died even Angelina was barely making ends meet.
She would be the perfect person to take care of Tess and the house, and Lucian could trust her, so after they had finished eating both of them walked towards her house that was not too far away.
" Tess say hello when we meet her, okay? " Lucian spoke after they arrived in front of her house, which was quite small.
" Owkay brudder. " She nodded her head with a serious expression, as if preparing herself for some big task.

In the school, Perv and Eric were sitting together, the first period had already passed but Lucian didn't come.
" Lucian has been taking quite a lot of leaves recently, I wonder if he is fine. " Eric spoke, while they waited for the next teacher to come.
" Wait, I think I know what's wrong with him. " Perv spoke with a serious expression on his face as if he had just got some kind of enlightenment.
" What is it? " Eric asked, though he knew the words that were going to come out of his mouth were going to be dumb.
" I believe he has an incurable disease and he is about to die, but since he does not want us to worry so he is not telling us or wait- maybe he had received some superpowers and is busy saving people or what if he- " Perv spoke, his tone solemn.
" Heh, I knew it you were going to say something stupid like that. "
Eric said shaking his head and no longer paid him any attention.
Perv looked around feeling bored then his gaze landed on Baldy who is a member of Mason's gang, with an idea in his head popping up he walked up to him.
" Hey Baldy, I have a good joke, would you like to listen? " Perv spoke, since everyone called him Baldy so it was like his original name in the school even the teachers called him that.
" Yes, tell me. " Baldy replied as he looked at Perv with a mocking smile, he was sitting with a couple of his friends and now he planned to make a joke of Perv in front of everyone.
" Knock knock," Perv said.
" Who's there? " Baldie spoke while thinking of ideas to humiliate him.
" Surprise. " Perv answered.
All the surrounding students also looked at them, waiting for Perv to speak, Baldy then asked with some confusion on his face:
" Surprise who? "
" Surprise surprise motherfucker "
"..."
Baldy had no words to retaliate, all the students sitting around laughed at him. even his friends, he looked at Perv with some anger who was laughing at him openly.
Although Baldy immediately wanted to punch Perv but he knew they couldn't do anything to him because of his father, so Baldy looked around and saw Glasses the second topper of the class who was busy studying and immediately hit the back of his head.
" Fuck nerd, how dare you laugh at me. " Baldie shouted, while Glass wondered why he was getting beaten up.
Sana, the one who scored the highest in the class just looked at this all with a calm expression, her gaze moved around the class but she didn't find Lucian anywhere.
Just then Monk entered the class with a solemn expression on his face, he stood in front of the students silently and looked over them.
" Why is he here? This isn't even his period. " One of the students spoke in a low voice.
