Chapter 12: The Report
Tristen was watching everything happening and he even saw Jade's pained expression and heard her last words loud and clear before she went to sleep. He pondered on her words, 'Does she think that God would come and answer her if she just kept bawling her eyes out like a crybaby and sleeping like a log? Is this how she is going to take over as the head of her family? She has a long way ahead of her and if she remains this weak, I am afraid she won't survive in this world tainted by violence and deceit.' Only if Jade knew his thoughts, she would kill him again. How dare he say that she sleeps like a log? How dare he call her a crybaby? Only if she knew... Sigh!
Meanwhile, Jade woke from her slumber after an hour. After finding the room empty, she got up from the bed and decided to find her uncle to ask him about her discharge formalities. She had opened the door a bit when she heard her uncle speaking, "Jade must not find this report, since she is still injured and has not fully recovered yet. Give it to Storm to keep it safe and also check for any clues in the room. Seal it so that no one can enter it and the investigation on it can be done unhindered. "
The men nodded at his order and left. Jade quickly closed the door and ran back to her bed to lie down. Her uncle entered the room as soon as her back hit the bed. Her uncle came to stand beside her, patted her head softly and spoke, "Your discharge papers are almost ready, we will leave after almost an hour so you can take a nap till then. You must be tired. "
Jade smiled weakly in return and spoke, "I already took a nap and now I am bored, so could you please send Storm inside? ". He, for once did not doubt anything and sent Storm inside. Jade was relieved at that. She had heard the conversation and now she wanted to know what he was hiding from her. Which room was he talking about? And whose report is he hiding?
Storm entered the room and immediately sensed that Jade wanted her to do something. She was more than happy to carry out any order given to her by Jade especially this one since this was the first time Jade was ordering her.
"Let's not beat around the bush. You have a task for me, don't you? "said Storm.
"I do. My uncle would have handed over a report to you, I want it. "Jade replied.
She was so shocked that she almost lost her balance. She thought her ears were playing a trick on her but as she saw Jade's unyielding gaze, she knew she heard it right. The only problem was that Jade was not supposed to know about that report and the fact that it was handed over to her but she knew it. This was bad.
Nevertheless, Storm still thought of pretending like she didn't know what Jade was talking about.
"I don't know which report you are talking about. I think that you are mistaken," said Storm with a stone-cold face.
Jade arched her brows and gave Storm a pointed look. "Storm, hand over the report to me. It's an order! " Storm hesitated to hand over the report to her. Seeing the hesitation in Storm's eyes, Jade finally said, "You take orders from me Storm, not my uncle. I am the boss, not him. So, it's obvious that my orders outrule his. You know what I mean. Don't make me repeat myself. "
Storm took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "I'll bring the report if you want it but... Brace yourself for the impact because that report was hidden from you for a reason. "
Storm went out and Jade carefully thought about Storm's words. What did she mean by 'brace yourself for the impact'? After hearing this, she wasn't even sure whether she wanted to see the report or not. Storm came back moments later with a report in her hand and handed it over to Jade. "I'll stand outside, call me when you're done with it. "with that she left.
When she opened the report, she was so shocked that she almost fell from the bed. It was... Her father's... 'Post Mortem Report'.
