Chasing After My Wife Chapter 436
Advertisement
The man put down the picture and the glass of wine on the table. He picked up his cane and walked out of the room, led by his men. Anyone who would see his cane would know his identity as soon as possible. The customized silver cane had a skull ornament on its handle which was biting on to a ruby stone. It was said that you can make a fortune by just selling his cane but you would have to pay for your life if you want to get your hands on it.
He wasn't that old but his leg was injured, the reason why he was using a cane. "Did you verify it?" the man asked his subordinates as they walk towards the front porch.
"Yes, sir. We verified the information and that the young lady had been staying in the orphanage for a year."
The man got inside the car and closed his eyes. His hands were clutching on to the cane tightly as if it was his life support. 'My princess, I hope you can forgive me.' He mentally spoke while keeping his heart calm. "If I remember correctly, my daughter just turned three years old when I left. It's been three years since I last saw her."
"Don't worry sir. I found that she had been well-taken cared of in the orphanage. It is said that this orphanage where the young lady stayed is really good. They are well-funded and they take care of the children like their own family."
"That's good news if that is true." He opened his eyes and looked at the scenery outside his window. "Drive to the maximum limit. I want to see my child soon."
In the meantime, Jade was having fun with everyone in Jillyanna's home. They gave her a short tour of the house to know which place is which and which room owns by whom.

"Auntie Riley, I am just a little curious." Jade spoke in her soft and small voice.
"What is it?" Riley stopped on her track and crouched low to level her eyes with the little girl. "You can tell me anything."
"It is…it's about the two rooms downstairs."
"Huh? Which room?"
"The ones behind the bookshelves? When we came upstairs, I saw two rooms behind the bookshelves. Who owns those rooms?"
"Oh that! Your mother owns that room. It is her comfort room. Let's ask her if you can use that to play. I heard she kept her toys and things when she was still small there."
"Okay." Jade nodded her head.
"Also, just a little reminder." She rubbed the girl's head to make sure that she would feel comfortable around her. "Don't do anything to the flowers and plants in this house. Your father fixed the swing under the mango tree so you can play there as well. However, don't step the flowers under the mango tree. The flowers and other plants here are very important to your mother. She would be sad if something happens to them."
"Then, can I water them?" Jade inquired with her round eyes. "In my previous home, I always water the plants. Can I do that here?"
"Sure, you can. But you can only do that when it's dusk."
"Okay."
"Good. Don't hesitate to tell me if you needed something. Later, let's go to the mall and buy your personal things." Riley smiled at her before standing up, held her hand and walked back downstairs. Jillyanna and Travis were preparing to leave and they were giving them few reminders.
"Come here sweetie." Jillyanna signaled Jade to come over which the little girl followed at once. "I will be staying in the hospital to give you a healthy baby brother, okay?"

"I understand." The little girl was staring directly into her eyes while nodding her head. "When will you come back?"
"After giving birth to your brother. At the same time, you can visit me every day. I always get bored in the hospital so come visit me, okay? I will teach you to read, write and count."
Jillyanna spoke to her daughter for long time, making sure that she will be alright in the house. She reminded Riley to take Jade out for a shopping and get everything she needed in her room. She also told Savanah to add additional dress for Jade to wear on her wedding day.
After making sure that they didn't forget anything, they left to go back to the hospital. The other remaining people at home talked about the duration that they can stay with Jade. In the end, it was decided that she will stay one week in Jillyanna's house, one week in the hacienda, and one week in the Madrid's villa, before going back to Jillyanna's house and the cycle starts again. During this one week stay, every afternoon she will visit the hospital to spend time with her parents.
She was loved and cared for by everyone. Even though they were not related by blood, they never treated her as stranger. Riley and Jackie brought her to the mall and bought many things for her. They shopped for dresses, shirts, sweatshirt, shorts, jeans, skirts, shoes, hair accessories, and many other things. It wasn't until the car's trunk was full that they decided to stop.
"Let's shop next time when I don��t have work again." Riley stated as she led them to a nearby restaurant to eat dinner.
"I will be busy the next two weeks because of the training." Jackie informed her twin.
"Then, Shein and I will take care of her." Riley stated nonchalantly.
Jade tugged on Riley's hand and looked up at her. "Auntie Riley, what is your work?"
"I work in a T.V station."
Though she didn't quite understand what Riley said, she still nodded her head. "How about you Auntie Jackie?"
"Me? I am still studying. I will become a police officer someday."
"Wow! That's amazing!" Jade was truly amazed to hear Jackie's profession and she was quite thrilled at the thought. "Auntie Jackie is great! You will help the people by catching criminals."
Riley frowned and glared at her twin. "I'm amazing, too." She mumbled softly, clearly sulking on the side because Jade didn't praise her.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
