Chapter 12 - Where Are You Going?
After dinner time, Jeffrey had successfully finished the Daily Quest.
Even though his body was drenched by the sweats, but he felt relief after thinking there was no penalty this time.
After the night he fainted, the nurse constantly checked upon him to make sure he was alright.
It made him hold up the quest from time to time. Fortunately, after the penalty, he got quite a lot of points and the time he spent for finishing the quest became fast.
[ Congratulations! You have completed the Daily Quest ]
[ Do you want to claim your rewards? ]
Jeffrey answered, "Yes."
[ You successfully claimed the rewards of Daily Quest.

"Nice! Let's use it."
Jeffrey opened up his status window.

"Since I need to complete the Daily Quest, let's boost up my stamina first," Jeffrey said as he continued. "I want to use my 3 points to my stamina and the rest to my strength."
After that, the system was being updated and he smiled as he felt satisfied with his status.

He thought that after the past dinner time, the visit time was over. However, his door opened up and a woman with her puffy eyes walked inside.
These sudden movements made his sleepy eyes became awake.
He thought there was an intruder, but once he took a look very carefully, it was his mother.
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
Without answering his question, Helen quickly hugged his small body.
She whispered in his ear, "Thank god, you are fine. I knew it that you're gonna be alright."
She kept muttering as she tried to calmed herself down.
"Mom?"
She snapped back after hearing her son's call.
"Yes, honey." She let go of her hug and then cupped her son's face.
She pecked both of his cheeks and stroked his hair.
"Why are you back? I thought you were busy."
"The hospital called me last night and said that you had fainted. Is that true?"
"Euh..."
Looking at her son's reaction, she guessed that it was true.
Helen flicked his forehead with her fingers.
"You stupid child! What were you thinking? Do you know how I feel after being called by the hospital?"
Jeffrey felt slightly sorry for their parents. He also didn't want to have fainted like that. He sighed and thought, "If only I didn't overslept."
"I'm sorry, mom."
"Good to know that you are sorry. Don't repeat it again, okay?"
Jeffrey nodded.
"Let me stay with you tonight. I'll call your father first, but why are your clothes so wet?"
Jeffrey's body stiffened up and with an awkward laugh, he said, "Today was especially hotter than last night. I just felt hot."
"You sure about that?" Asked his mother as she squinted her eyes.
He nodded.
"Okay, then."
His mother then went outside to make a call with his father and he finally could breathe out.
Not long after that, his mother went back inside to his room. The night was over for a 3 years old child and his tiredness after yesterday had finally heightened.
He yawned and rubbed his eyes. Helen looked at her sleepy son and called Eden to prepare her nightwear.
After she changed to her comfortable clothes, she climbed up onto the bed and hugged her son.
"Mom, are you sleeping with me?" Asked Jeffrey with his eyes clothes.
"Yes, so you should sleep now. I'll sing your favorite lullaby."
In Jeffrey's memory, he never had any chances to sleep with his mother like this. He never got the chance to felt the warmth of his mother.
He suddenly felt that the hardships he had before were worth it. If he needed to be died to feel this warmth, then he would be willing to die more than 3 times.
After that, his mother's voice had successfully calmed his heart, and slowly went into slumber.
***
The morning came quickly and due to the alarm he set in the system, he woke up early.
He saw his mother still sleeping while hugging him. He smiled and pecked her mother in the cheek.
"Good morning, mom."
After a while, Page greeted him.
"Good morning, master."
Jeffrey replied to her in his mind, "Morning, Page. Do you think I could do my daily quest without being known?"
"Master, your mother is in the state of tired. The level of her tired has reached 80%, so she won't be wake up until 8 a.m."
Jeffrey nodded and remembered the puffy eyes from before. He guessed that his mother was dead tired after worrying and crying over him.
He slowly went down from the bed and was shocked when he saw a man's body on the sofa.
"Who is it?"
He slowly came closer and looked at his face, "Eden?"
Eden Mccoy was his family's butler. He was the right hand of his father. He hereditary served Jeffrey's family. His father was in the same position as him and he served his grandfather.
Although he had no memory of his grandparents, he at least knew.
After that, he decided to leave the room. But after several steps, a voice stopped him, "Little master, where are you going?"
