"Mr. Jackson, this room needs a window. You are a patient. Sunlight and fresh air are beneficial to your health," Susie explained.
"Go ahead if you really want a window," Kain said with a sneer.
"You agreed?" Susie beamed.
Kain shrugged his shoulders and understated, "It's just not up to me, you need to get a woman's permission."
"Who is she?"
"Daphne Hall."
Daphne, the hostess of the Jacksons. Before marring Ryan, Daphne was Kain's stepmother.
Susie knew very well the fractious relationship between Daphne and Kain, but still she had to leave the castle to look for Daphne.
The castle where Kain lived was less than 500 meters away from the villa where the Jackson family was located, but there was the gloomy Black Wood between the two places.
When Susie walked through the Black Wood to the villa, the busy servants all stopped their work and looked at her in horror.
Hadn't she been sent to the castle? How could she still be alive?
Some timid servants screamed, "Ghost!" then fled.
Mr. Gray hurried out of the room. Seeing Susie standing in front of him, he was stunned for a while before he could speak. "Miss Taylor."
"I need to meet with Mrs. Jackson."
"Sure." Mr. Gray then thought of something and shook his head, "I'm sorry, but Mrs. Jackson is inconvenience now. She is having breakfast."
"It doesn't matter. I'll wait for her outside the dining room," Susie was firm. Mr. Gray took her through the splendid living room and came to the exquisitely decorated dining room. "Miss Taylor, please wait here, I'll inform Mrs. Jackson."
Mr. Gray soon came out of the room and led Susie in.
There was a large streamlined stylish long table, filled with hearty breakfast.
Sitting at the table was a richly-dressed gorgeous lady, Mrs. Jackson, and her teenage son, Buck, who was in an aristocratic school uniform.
Susie took a quick look around, and then stood aside quietly with her head down.
The smell of breakfast made Susie suffer because she hadn't eaten since last night. The pain in her stomach reminded her of her hunger.
Mrs. Jackson was only surprised at the first sight of Susie, but soon she ignored her presence and continued with breakfast gracefully.
Just as Susie's legs went numb, the boy burped, "Mommy, I'm full."
Daphne put down the cutlery in her hands and tidied his uniform while she was telling him something about after school.
The warm and beautiful sight in front of Susie reminded her of the blind Kain in the castle.
