The Last Embrace Chapter 390
Advertisement
After the blood transfusion, Jessy no longer returns to Hannah's room, instead, she went to her room to rest for a while. She was planning to teleport into the city to buy a portable baby bassinet for the baby so that every time Hannah want's to go to the flower dome to admire the flowers the baby can be tucked safely in the bassinet.
Nice idea!
She was about to teleport into the city when Adam suddenly appeared inside her room.
"Where are you going, Jess?" he asked.
"I was about to go to the city to buy a portable bassinet for Hannah's baby," she answered.
"Ah okay, I will accompany you then," he offered.
She asked, "So...did your brother already seen his son?"
Adam nods his head. "Yes. We all visited him in his room and my father placed the baby in my brother's arms..."
"What was Zain's reaction?" Jessy was curious.
"He seemed to be surprised and a bit shock after seeing his child," Adam replied. "My brother asked us to leave because he wants to spend time alone with his son..."
Jessy raised her brow and fell silent for a minute or two. "Well...although Zain's character is a lot to be desired...but I believe he won't harm his child," she voiced out her opinion.
Adam plopped down on the bed bringing Jessy with him. "Do you think the baby can finally change my brother's attitude? What I'm trying to say is that—I'm hoping that the baby can soften his heart and teach him to appreciate the value of Hannah in his life and especially in his son's life..." he winked at her.
Jessy smiled as if a bulb was being turned on inside her head. "You mean to say—?"

"Yeah. Sooner or later... Zain...Hannah and the baby will have to live under the same roof. If that happens there is a million chance that Zain can learn to appreciate Hannah's value in his life! Then he will willingly set you free so that he can marry Hannah for their son's sake..." Adam enthusiastically blurted out his prediction.
Jessy grinned from ear to ear. "Amen to that!" she looked at him. "Are you going to go with me to the city?"
Adam nods his head. "Yes. I will accompany you to shop for my nephew's clothes but you have to come back here alone because I still have an appointment to fulfill, okay?"
"Are you going to do a photoshoot?"
"No..."
"A video shoot with some famous brands or products by big shot companies?" she asked again.
"No...I will meet a client today to purchase his property because I want to turn it into a five-story condominium unit for rent or sell. I plan to start building my property portfolio and become a successful real estate tycoon..." Adam said.
Jessy grinned. "You love the human world and adapted so well to the mortals' ways of thinking and living. I think you are much more human now compared to me," she commented.
Adam looked into his beloved eyes. "Being human is great! It provides more freedom to my life compared to just being a vampire alone. Right now, I'm enjoying both worlds!" he responded, his eyes twinkling with mirth.
"Fantastic! I'm glad you are truly enjoying the human world compared before," she said. "By the way, did you remember my guy friend in the forest?" she asked.
"Yes, I remembered him, what about him?" Adam replied. "Did he finally changed his mind and now wanting to live in the Habitat?"

Jessy shook her head. "Nope. Instead, he wants me to bring him to his brother's place in the faraway land. He no longer wants to live in the treehouse alone. He finds the vast forest lonely and too quiet. I guess he finally craves human interaction, at last!"
"So...when is the day you will transport him to his brother's place?"
"This coming Sunday, after lunch," she answered.
"Okay, since you two had finally agreed on the day then, by all means, send that poor soul into his brother's place so that he no longer felt isolated and lonely living alone in that treehouse," Adam said.
Jessy gets up from the bed and Adam followed suit.
"Shall we teleport now?" she asked him.
"Yep! Come to me...I will teleport you to the city, my princess," Adam grinned and opened his arms wide.
Jessy giggled and Adam immediately enveloped her in his warm embrace.
A minute later.
They landed in some dark alley in the city.
Holding the hands of each other, the couple advances into the busy street and spotted a department store a few meters away from where they were standing.
"Let's go to that store!" Jessy pointed her hand at the store ahead.
"Alright..." Adam replied.
They cross the street and went inside the department's store going straight to the infants' section.
Jessy and Adam were having fun picking up clothes for a newborn baby. Then Jessy picked up a portable bassinet for a newborn, then a pacifier, gloves, mittens, hoodies, bodysuits, and sleepwear, just one pair each because Hannah already had sewn lots of baby's clothes before she gives birth to her firstborn.
"Are you done?" Adam asked looking at the baby's clothing which was only a handful. "Why you only buy a few clothes for my nephew?"
"We don't need to buy many clothes because Hannah already sewed lots of clothing for her son," Jessy replied. "Let's go to the counter now and pay these items..." she said and scooped the clothing in her hands, while Adam grabs the bassinet, they walked towards the cashier's section.
After paying their purchases in the cashier's section, the couple left the place and went to the grocery area because Jessy wants to buy one gallon of ice cream to surprise her mother with a special treat.
Done shopping in the store, the couple parted ways. Adam went home while Jessy proceeds inside the ladies restroom, she entered a vacant cubicle and teleported back into the Facility, landing inside her mother's office.
"Good evening, Mother dearest!" she said breathlessly.
Sarah pressed her palms on her chest. "Daughter! My God! You nearly startled me!"
Jessy grinned. "Hi Mom, I brought one-gallon ice cream for you, it's a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor!"
Sarah's face lighted up. "Wow! Let me see..." she went to her daughter's side and took the shopping bag which contains the still frozen one-gallon ice cream. "Aren't you going to eat it with me?"
"I will..." Jessy responded in glee. She placed the shopping bag above the table and opened the lid of the ice cream.
A few minutes later, the mother and daughter duo were blissfully enjoying their ice cream treat.

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
