Chapter 117

"You look so smart and beautiful, little girl," Jane complimented her

Jane smiled at her and nodded even more

"Oh, I'm so sorry I heard you can't talk, right?" Jane asked her

Little Jane nodded even more

"Hmm, that's so sad, so how do I even know your name now?" Jane said, disappointed

Little Jane brought her iPad and wrote her name on it

Jane noticed what she was trying to do and got happy

"Oh, you have a pad you use to communicate?" That's good," she said

Jane wrote her name on the iPad and showed it to Jane

"Oh, your name is Jane?" Jane exclaimed

Jane nodded

"Do you believe we bear the name?" Jane asked her

"Really?" Jane wrote down on her iPad

"Yes, I love you already," she said and pulled her into a hug. After some time, she released her

"come let's go to your room, show me your room, I'm sure your mom must be looking for you now, it's not nice to get her all worried and besides you should be asleep by now," Jane said, stood up and tried pulling her along

But little Jane resisted. She pulled her back with all her might, and Jane tried to get her to stop her, but she resisted even more

Jane noticed her reluctance and sat her down again

"what's wrong, you don't want to sleep yet. Your mom will be worried about you," Jane tried to explain to her

"My mom is asleep, and she doesn't care about me, I don't want to go back. Please don't take me back," little Jane wrote down, pleaded

Jane was puzzled by what she wrote, why would she not want to go to the room where her mother is

What was even more puzzling is that she said her mother didn't care about her though it doesn't seem to surprise her, it looked like something she could do but the fact that she could do that to her son was even more unbelievable

"I'm sure you are mistaken, let's go," she said, but little Jane still refused

"You really don't want to go?" Jane asked her

little Jane nodded, and then her stomach grumbled

"Are you hungry?" Jane asked

little Jane nodded

"Come here, let's go to the kitchen. I will cook you something," Jane said and carried Jane in her hands and headed for the kitchen

Jane got to the kitchen and placed it on the table

"Do you have something in mind that you would like to eat exactly?" she asked her

"Anything," Jane wrote down

"No, come on, darling, I will prepare anything you want. Just tell me, okay?" Jane said

Little Jane thought about it for a while, then wrote down "I would some salad and chicken"

"All right then, that should be easy to get done, I guess, I will prepare it for you, but while I do that, you have some milk, is that okay?" Jane suggested

Little Jane nodded

Jane got milk for the little girl, and she happily sipped the milk while she got busy preparing some salad and fried chicken for Little Jane

"Here you go." She placed the food in front of her, and Jane happily munched it

"Do you like it?" Jane asked

Jane nodded as she stuffed more food into her mouth

"Eat gently so you don't choke on your food," Jane advised her, but little Jane could not contain herself

This was the first time she had ever felt motherly love. Her mother didn't even look at her. Her nanny took care of her, but she did it for the money

But Jane was taking care of her unconditionally. It was the first time, but she felt this was the real her

"Are you satisfied?" she asked her

Jane nodded. She took her pad and wrote down something

"Thank you, I love you," she wrote

"I love you too, darling, now let's go. Would you like to go to your mom?" she asked

Jane nodded. "Can I stay in your room?" she wrote

"hmm okay but I just hope your mom won't mind," she said

"she doesn't care. She would not even notice," little Jane wrote

"Hmmm," Jane said, this was the second time she's saying this, Jane was worried about how could any mother not care about their child

not to even talk about a lovely child like Jane

she felt sorry for her. She knew what it's like not to have motherly love and care

She hugged her and patted her back. She didn't know what to say to comfort the little girl, but she just hugged her

She felt so attached to her, she felt the need to love and protect her just like she felt towards Jane, it was inexplicable but she just felt this bond between them

"Come, let's go. Did you take a bath?" she asked her

Jane nodded a no

"Okay, I will bathe you, and I will even read you a bedtime story, okay?" Jane said and carried little Jane and headed to her room

little Jane was elated she could not be happy

Jane took little Jane and her rooms and washed her. She finished bathing her and dried her with a towel, Jane was so happy

her mother had never given her a bath

she had so much fun that she didn't want it to end

Jane had trouble finding what to wear, so she didn't have a choice but to wear Chris's pyjamas

"I'm so sorry darling, but you have to wear Chris's pyjamas. You have to make do with this one, okay?" Jane said

Jane nodded, and Jane wore it on her

"Now come here, you have to lay close to Chris, okay, you don't mind, do you?" Jane asked

Jane nodded

"Alright, that's good, now let's read you a story," Jane said

Little Jane happily lay where Jane asked her to, and she happily listened

Jane began to read the book. It was Chris's favourite story too, and before she got to the third chapter, little Jane fell asleep

Jane put the book away, tucked her in very well, and kissed her forehead
