Stay In A City
Mrs.Emerson
I can't believe this..What should we do now!?
Mr.Emerson
I don't know.. Let's wait for her to return.
Mrs.Emerson
.... She shouldn't have lied, now we're in trouble.
Mr.Emerson
Mother did that because she's worried about Jenna.
Mrs.Emerson
We're all worried about her, but lying to force her back to A city is not the right thing to do.
The Butler
Mr. Emerson, the old madam is back.
Grandma
I'm here my handsome boy.
Mr.Emerson
Mother, where have you been?
Grandma
I was chattering with madam Nora. That old hag is so much fun.
Mrs.Emerson
Mother that's not the time for that.. Jenna is back!
Grandma
What? Oh my! Where's my little girl?
Grandma
Is she in her room?
Mr.Emerson
*sighs*
mother, did you forget that she's back because you're "so sick"?
Grandma
Oh my! I totally forgot about that. I have to hurry to my bed.
Mrs.Emerson
Let me help you.
The bathroom door was opened, and Jenna, wrapped in a short towel came out.
Rick
Are you feeling better?
A moment ago, Rick returned the book to it's original place, as if he didn't know anything.
Jenna
.....
I should check on grandma.
Rick
I'll accompany you, but let me take a shower first.
Fifteen minutes later, Jenna and Rick headed to her grandmother's bedroom.
She knocked twice on the door before getting in.
Jenna
Grandma it's me, Jenna.
Grandma
Jenna? My little rabbit! It's really you!
Jenna approached her grandma and sat on a chair near the bed.
Jenna
How are you feeling?
Grandma
Ah.. As you know.. I'm so sick.. *cough* *cough*
Rick
Please don't talk too much grandma.
Grandma
Oh my, who is this handsome son in law?
Rick
* chuckle *
My name is Rick Jackson. I'm Jenna's friend.
Grandma
I suppose you came with her from abroad?
Grandma
And how old are you?
Jenna
Grandma.. Don't talk too much, it's not good for your health.
Grandma
Ah.. Um
*cough* you're right my dear.
Jenna
The only reason I'm back to A city is because I'm worried about you, grandma.
Grandma
Is that so?
( I would've faked my illness sooner if knew this )
Jenna
Yes. But I can't stay here for long. You have to take good care of your health from now on.
Grandma
Do you mean that, you'll leave A city again?
Jenna
Yes. I'm a university student and I can't neglect my studies.
Grandma
..... Why don't you stay in A city? We have many good universities here too, and I'm sure you'll be able to get into any of them.
Jenna
Grandma.. I'm afraid this isn't possible.
Grandma
......
Why not? You're the only daughter of the Emerson family, you can study wherever you want!
Grandma
( oh my, I am supposed to be weak and unable to speak )
Jenna
Grandma.. Please get well soon. We'll leave you to have some rest.
Rick
Get well soon grandma, we'll visit again later.
Grandma
Thank you my handsome son in law.
The two of them left. But the old madam was unhappy.
Mr.Emerson
Did you call for us, mother?
Mrs.Emerson
Is something the matter?
Grandma
She doesn't want to stay in A city.
Mrs.Emerson
....
Well, her reaction is pretty normal after all that happened to her in this place.
Grandma
I can't let her go back abroad! Didn't you hear what Mira said?
Mrs.Emerson
....
I know but-
Grandma
I still remember how cheerful and happy she used to be when she was in high school..
Mr.Emerson
... It still pains me that i couldn't do anything to protect her little heart back then..
