North Star Community.

Time seemed to have grown wings, and Leo seemed to have replaced his blood for steroids. He was regaining his motor control back with every day of Physiotherapy and also with the help of his cute daughter. 

Every evening after school, Lily would come and ask Leo what he did in physiotherapy and also imitate the exercises that the doctor told him. Snow watched all this with great amusement, because the father and daughter would tease each other and yet they would smile at each other all the time. 

Sometimes Lily would act like she got upset and Leo would coax her, and try to make it up to her. After a week, Leo was able to walk with the help of a cane. Yes, the doctor himself was shocked, but when Kaya came over and told him that Leo had been confined to a bed with no hope of ever even raising his head, the guy understood that Leo was a miracle. 

At the end of the week, the doll house ordered for Lily was delivered, and Snow was thinking which part of the doll house they should assemble when Leo decided to put his foot down, and asked, "How about we take this to our new house and place it there? I am sure that place has a lot of space." 

Lily jumped and cheered, "Yes, Baba is the best." 

She dashed over, and then carefully got on the couch to kiss him on the cheek. Leo smiled and held her in his arms. Snow was surprised and asked, "Are we really moving there so fast?" 

Leo said, "It is our house, why would it be too fast to go there? In the next few days, they will be charging us for the maintenance facilities, while this place would also deduct rent. In my opinion, it is a waste of money to not move there." 

Snow thought and replied, "What you said, makes sense, so how do we do this? Should we go to that side and check what the condition there is like and then decide about the exact moving date?" 

Leo nodded, and said, "As you say." 

Snow then said, "Let's get ready then." 

The people then began to change their clothes. Snow put on a white one piece dress with a pair of matching heels, and tied her hair into a bun, while Lily was dressed in a frock with black top and white lower. 

Leo wore a loose black shirt, and black pants, although the clothes looked a size too big on him, but with his hair tied in a bun, he looked like a rustic personality adding to his looks a bit. He had grown a shallow stubble and did not wish to shave it so quickly. 

He got an idea about how the system worked, so he decided to use all the opportunities he could find to milk it. The trio came out of the building, and Leo looked at his surroundings through the sunglasses on his nose. He had not been out for years now, even when they were going to the hospital, he was taken in an ambulance. 

This was his first outing, and while they waited for the cab, he looked around, as he suddenly said, "Is this the southern suburbs?" 

Snow nodded and asked, "Do you remember this place?"

Leo shook his head and said, "Not much, but that tower you see, that was made by the Cardinal Infra." 

He used his chin to point at a tall skyscraper in the distance. Snow nodded and stayed silent. A few moments later, a taxi stopped before them. Snow opened the back door, and the family of three got inside. 

Leo said, "Master, North Star Community please." 

The master was surprised for a second, but then he nodded and drove away. Lily would sit very quietly and Leo asked, "Lily, are you excited for the new place?"

Lily replied softly, "Yes, Baba." 

Leo was surprised to see that Lily was acting so refined and asked, "Baby, what happened? Are you upset?" 

Lily shook her head and replied with a faint smile, "Ma said, good ladies should be polite and reserved when outside." 

Leo was stunned, even the taxi driver was taken aback, and then the young man chuckled, as he asked, "And why is that?" 

Lily said, "Ma said, there are many reasons, one is to prevent people from making fun of us, and second is to prevent people with bad intentions taking advantage of us." 

Leo looked at Snow who felt embarrassed, and realized that it was not something that she taught Lily, but the child was imitating her mother. Snow had been living frugally, never spending much on her own skin care, and other things. Lily watched them and developed similar habits, and was now even imitating Snow's behavior as well. 

He raised his hand to pat her head before he said, "It's okay, in the future, you can act like how you want to." 

Lily raised her head, and asked, "Really?" 

Leo smiled and nodded as he said, "Really." 

The driver said, "Little brother seemed to be very doting with the princess." 

The middle-aged man was smiling and Leo replied, "Yes." 

A child and two grown ups in the back bantered all the way to the gates of the North Star Community. The guard on the entrance came out of his cottage, and stopped the taxi. The driver lowered the glass and the guard said, "Commercial Vehicles are not allowed." 

Leo leaned forward and said, "I am an owner in this community, you can check the owner's group." 

The driver and the guard, both were shocked, and Leo said, "My name is Leo Cardinal, I own unit number 06." 

The guard looked at the confident young man in the back and said, "Please give me a moment, Sir." 

He dashed back inside the cottage and picked up a tablet, sure enough the details were confirmed and the guard was shocked. He broke out in cold sweat, thankfully he did not try to dismiss this guy for being crazy.

He went back and said, "Sir, you can take the caddy provided by the community but cabs are not allowed inside." 

Leo nodded and asked, "Master, I apologize but such are the rules. How much do I need to pay you?" 

The man mentioned a figure and Snow paid the bill before the trio got off the cab. The guard then assigned a junior guard, and had him drive the caddy back to the core area where Villa number 6 was located. The community was very mildly decorated, but Leo knew that this place was very luxurious. 

Only the truly rich people preferred to live in such places. They did not like to show off too much. Leo nodded internally when he saw this place, although, it did not stand anywhere in comparison to the Cardinal Mansion where he lived in the past but it was better than a small apartment. 

The journey in the caddy was calm and well paced. Lily looked at the vibrant atmosphere, and remarked, "This is a good place, very nice flowers they have planted here." 

Leo smiled and said, "Then how about we also plant some in our garden?" 

Lily nodded and said, "Baba, I want to do it myself, you can help me." 

Snow patted the little melon and said, "Daddy will do it for you, and you will help him. What if you hurt yourself?" 

Lily pouted and Leo said, "Well, how about this? Lily can select which flowers she wants and we will plant them, and Lily will be the supervisor." 

The little girl asked, "Baba, what is a supervisor?" 

Leo replied gently, "The one who makes sure that the others have done their job well." 

Lily exclaimed, "Then I get to be your boss? Like Miss Wanda is to Teacher Cleo? So cool. Hahaha, I will scold you." 

Leo and Snow chuckled along with the little troublemaker. The guard said, "Sir, this is Villa Number 6." 

Leo nodded, and the family of three got off the caddy and they entered the villa, with a key Snow took out. Lily watched the place with her eyes wide open and she exclaimed, "This is so beautiful."

Before them stood a two floor single family villa. Snow took a deep breath, and looked at Leo with a smile. The young man reciprocated the gesture and they walked in to explore their future nest.
