Savannah's House
"How can you tell us to leave this place?" The only thing I heard was a sigh from the other end of the phone as I questioned her in a low voice and waited for her answer. I chuckled slightly in amusement at her "Are you kidding me right now?" I asked as my anger took over, "Say something, Mrs. King!" I heard someone else talk behind her and I became angry.
"Leave that place in a month or we'll force you" saying that the call hung up, and it wasn't Mrs. Kim or Mr. Kim on the call, it was someone else. I sighed with all these sudden things happening. You know how it feels when someone needs help and we help them but they turn their back on us when we need the same thing. That's how I felt right now. As I ran my hand over my head, I thought for a moment. I decided to sleep now and go to Mrs. Kim's house tomorrow for an explanation. I won't leave this house just like that, and if she is, she needs to have a good reason for doing so. I remember so many things with Theo here that I don't want to leave it just like that.
As early as 8 in the morning, I was on my way to Mrs. Kim. I left early because I needed the answers as soon as possible, plus I had to visit the mansion, so I got up early, dropped Theo off at school, hopped into a cab, as mine was still at the mansion, and I reached their house almost 15 minutes later.
Walking out of the cab, I walked toward their outer main door through a small garden-like area. Finally reaching the door, I rang the door bell, but no one answered. I tried again and waited for it to open again, but no one answered. My eyes wandered through the house, the windows, the balcony on the second floor, but everything was closed, so I walked back to look around the neighbourhood.
I saw a woman passing by "Wait" I said as she passed, she looked at me in an annoying way. I realize that my way of stopping her was inappropriate. "Sorry for the trouble, but can you tell me where the person lives?" She glanced at Mrs. Kim's house, then back at me "Who are you?" Instead of an answer she questioned back, "I'm Savannah, and I was-" she cut me off, "You're "savannah" confused, I nodded my head "Come with me", and she began walking, I followed her behind."We are very good friends" and I listened, and she began telling me about her and Mrs. Kim. Hearing about her was kinda nice, after all she was once my saver. "Wait here" she said, then went inside and I waited outside her door for a few minutes.
After a few minutes, she came out with something in her hand which seemed to be a piece of paper, "I hope I didn't make you wait long", she said and I smiled, "It's not like that, rest assured," and she smiled too, "Here" and extended something that looked like white paper, again, I looked at her.
"Mrs. Kim gave this to me to give it to you". I took it and looked at my name, "She went somewhere far, didn't really tell me where but said she might or might not come back here again" and it shocked me, what had happened? What was going on? There were a lot of questions and no answers, and I thought my answers could be in this white paper. It has to be.
A single word, traffic, can turn your world upside down, and that is exactly what happened. I drove to my house around 9:45 and was still stuck in traffic. I had to reach the mansion by 10 so I went straight to the mansion. I texted Arthur to not send a car to my house since I would just drive there.
Baldwin's Mansion
The evening was almost over, so here I was in the mansion's patio, enjoying the sunset, it was a great view I must say. I got here in the mansion around 10:15, yes 15 minutes late, this morning had been so hectic, and I had no time to read the note, so I had brought with me.
Now I can read it peacefully, looking at the white paper in my hand I finally opened it, but "Ms. Miller" and I recognized that voice, so I looked, "Have some time?" it was Arthur standing by the door of the patio, folding the note back I answered "Yes".
In awe of the view in front of me, my eyee bowled out. Wow! I felt as if I were in a library and had a strong desire to explore every shelf, but I couldn't because it was someone else's property, "Sorry to call you here, out of the blue," Blaze said, sitting at his swivel chair by the big wooden table.
Yed I was in Blaze's study room, as he had called me to meet with him here. As for the note, I was unable to read it, so I again put it in my bag which I left in Mr. Baldwin's room. "It's fine," I replied. "May I know the reason?" I asked why this meeting was held, "I wanted to speak about my father's head injury" and suddenly I understood.
As a matter of fact, I jad told him about his head injury at dinner one night, and he said he would think about what he wanted to do next, and I believe it was about that. "I want him to recover as of current method" I stared at him as he spoke "I do not want him to undergo another head surgery."
As I nodded in agreement with his decision. Some people go with the most efficient way and others want the other way for their own satisfaction. I think Blaze has come back to his senses, the surgery had a 70-30 chance of success. He could recover, but it would make him worse than now. Mr. Baldwin might lose his understanding as a result.
After talking all about Mr. Baldwin's condition and update, I was scanning all the books through my eyes from afar, I was fascinated by them but resisted because again, I didn't want to get shouted at. As I was about to get up and leave, "Feel free to read anything from here" he looked up at me from his desk, "It's all yours."
Those words were enough to make me happy and make my eyes twinkle. I got up and moved to the left side of the huge shelf and it wasn't just that, they even had a ladder going all the way up to the upper shelves. I have always been enchanted by books and they make me forget all the things. Reading has always been a comfort place for me since I was a child, and one book caught my eye at a corner of one of the shelves, so I began to take it out, but then got shocked. This books has blood on it!
