The Wear Apocalypse Book
23.Linda
Linda and her parents have crossed many places, Linda's own state is not good, she is repeatedly used as an emotional outlet for her mother while her father just looks at her with no matter whether she dies or not. Now that Linda's supply that Jean had been given had been eaten away, it frightened them.
Linda is also trying to avoid the zombies that roam the streets. Sometimes Linda is forced to stay up all night alone, her body has reached its limit, she also wonders if this is the right choice? But he tries to remain patient.
"Linda what are you doing?! Do you want us to die here?" Mrs Grant's voice rang out loud, Linda then woke up.
"Mom don't make a loud noise, I'm afraid the zombies will hear mother's voice and we will be surrounded by zombies." Say Linda in a soft voice.
"Do you want to fight?! I guess I was right that you unlucky bearer, I should have just left you alone, you broom beast!!" Linda's face immediately paled when she heard her mother's curse, she thought she had tried hard but in fact her efforts were never appreciated at all.
"Glenda I heard the sound of a car not far from here, I think we can ask them for help." Mr. Grant looks pleased so runs in a hurry.
"Huh.. I think we should get out of here, I can't stand it and want to take a shower immediately to take care of my body, otherwise I'll die sooner or later." Mrs Grant grunts.
"Then let's go." Mr. Grant can't wait to catch the car.
"Dad's mom wait a minute, my leg hurts. Can we walk slowly?" Linda felt a great pain in her legs, her hands holding her mother's clothes so as not to miss
"Do you want to make your parents die with you?!!" Mrs Grant snapped at Linda.
"Leave it, he's no use." Mr. Grant doesn't care, he wants to be rescued right away.
"Dad." Linda looked at her father in surprise, she did not believe they would throw it away so easily after repeatedly helping.
"You should be lucky to have sucked my body during my pregnancy so don't expect you to blackmail me once again!" Ms. Grant kicked Linda's body very hard.
"Let's go." Linda's parents left Linda.
"Bu-" Linda can only mourn the passing of her parents, her consciousness beginning to disappear as a result of her head being accidentally hit by a stone.
When she fainted, Linda felt the heat of her body as if it was being roasted by fire, she wanted to wake up immediately but she could not because she felt helplessness and emptiness in her sea of consciousness.
The area around Linda felt strange, rocks and other objects started floating, zombies that wanted to eat Linda's body were also floating upwards. Linda's consciousness recovered, her eyes suddenly opened and noticed the surroundings.
"This?? What's going on?" Linda woke up to see an object floating around her. If Jean was in that place then she would say that Linda was very lucky! He acquired a unique ability, Telekinesis.
Seeing the zombies that came floating made Linda scream in fear so that the floating object fell to the ground, the zombies that had gained her freedom immediately ran towards Linda who was sitting still on the ground.
"Don't eat me!" Linda subconsciously closed her eyes, the zombie floated back up while roaring furiously. After a while Linda felt strange for not feeling any pain at all, Linda ventured herself to open her eyes and look at the returning Zombie hovering above.
"Go!!" Shouted Linda while waving her hand, in an instant the Zombie was thrown far away and hit a house not far away. Linda was shocked, she could not believe what she saw.
"Is this an ability like Miss Jean said?" Linda looked at both of her hands trembling, she then looked around for something in her pants pocket and found nothing she was looking for.
"Thank you, miss, thank you!" Linda wept with gratitude, she did not expect that the crystal core Jean had given her would save her life, she once again owed Jean a debt.
At home Jean is in a bad mood, she doubts whether she can reject Adam or not, if she refuses whether Adam will kill her?
"Sister recently you've been eating a lot, has anything happened?" Mishael asked as he filled the jar in front of Jean who had been emptied with the cake he had made.
"Your brother is in a period of depression, I don't know if I'm going to die." Jean replied while chewing on potato chips.
"Sister you can't die, big brother is so strong I know that." Misael doesn't believe anyone can beat his brother.
"Can you call Aunt Merrill here?" Jean suddenly gets the idea to discuss with Merril. Misael then went to ask Merril to meet Jean.
"Is there something?"
"Auntie I want to discuss something." Merril was surprised to see Jean's seriousness
"Is there a problem?" Merril rarely heard Jean talk to him, so he thought Jean was in serious trouble.
"Auntie, do you know how to reject a man?" Ask Jean.
"Miss why are you rejecting men? Is that guy not good?" Merril was shocked when he heard Jean's question.
"No, not like that." According to Jean Adam very well, it's just that Jean still feels guilty for liking the man who also liked the former owner of this body.
"Then why? The current age of the lady is no longer young so it is only natural to fall in love and get married." Merrill looked at Jean worriedly.
"Who is that guy? Is he richer than the Barkers?" But Merril thought that currently the wealth of money was no longer useful at this time so he was very skeptical.
"Ughs.. Can you keep a secret? Don't let grandma and grandpa know." Jean hesitated to tell me about Adam.
"Miss can be sure."
"The man is Adam." Jean said, Merril looks shocked and happy.
"Miss why do you want to reject Adam? She was very kind and also qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Barker family, she also respected me and Randalf even though she knew that we were only domestic workers in the Barker family." Merril is in a panic to see Jean reject Adam, and where else can the Barkers find a good son-in-law like Adam. Jean is speechless, feeling Merrill is supporting Adam and not wanting Jean to reject Adam.
"My aunt and Adam are not getting married, I don't even have the status of Adam's girlfriend yet but my aunt has already said that she's a good daughter-in-law." Jean felt a little sorry for telling Merril.
"Then get married, you don't have to date because you know each other in high school." Merril. Jean, fearful of Merril's thoughts, is now convinced that she has been wrong to discuss Adam with Merril.
"Auntie, I'll think about it so can you give me a minute." Jean wants to expel Merrill.
"All right, miss." Merril felt bitter, he had a little pity for Adam. Merril suddenly gets the idea to tell Mrs Barker to convince Jean, she even forgets her promise with Jean just now.
"System save me, can't I get the hidden ability to defeat Adam?" Jean wanted to cry.
'Sorry master I can't help, master can gain ability if it has many crystal nuclei.' replied the System.
"Is there no option to pay on credit?"
"Nothing." Answer system. Jean could only feel disappointed by the system's answer.
After Merril came out of Jean's room, he went to see Mrs Barker and told her everything.
"really?" Madame Barker was surprised, Merril nodded.
"Really, why is my granddaughter so stupid as to reject a child from the Brown family? Me and Eddie will try to convince Jean, lest she reject my good daughter-in-law." Grandma Jean was a little worried too. Jean, who was in the room, did not know that Merril had been telling Adam about his grandparents.
The night has come, most people are not calm and do not dare to turn on the electricity with a generator, but in contrast to Jean's house which blatantly turns on the generator and provokes zombies to come to his house.
As usual Jean goes down for dinner together but Jean suddenly gets a bad feeling when she sees the gaze of her grandmother and grandfather.
"Jean come here." Jean wanted to step down but she was late, if true then Merril had told her about Adam.
"Grandmother, I suddenly feel unwell so can I just eat in the room?" Jean wanted to escape immediately.
"Jean." Grandma Jean looked at Jean sharply.
"grandmother.. " Jean did not dare to refuse, he obediently sat down beside his grandmother.
"Why do you want to reject Adam? Grandma wanted to hear the reason." Ask Jean's grandmother directly without making small talk.
"Grandmother, I feel unworthy of Adam and it's also a bit difficult at times to be in a relationship." Answer Jean.
"Jean you deserve to be with Adam after all, didn't you like Adam a long time ago?" Jean is shocked to hear that Mrs Barker knows about the former owner's feelings for Adam.
"What's wrong? Actually grandma knows you liked Adam when you were in high school, grandma read your diary." Jean's face immediately flushed red, she did not expect that the original owner of this body was so careless.
"Look at your face, your mouth says something else but your body can't lie to us." Grandpa Jean. Jean touched her hot cheek and felt stupid for a moment.
"If you don't want to accept Adam then your grandmother and grandfather will step in to meet the Browns." Seeing Jean's doubts makes Jean's grandmother want to go see the Browns to discuss their marriage.
"Grandma don't, I don't want to rush into marriage and also Adam only intends to chase after me, he also definitely wants our relationship to go slowly." Jean explained everything in a panic.
"Well then, if you don't get married within a year then your grandmother will talk to Madame Brown directly." Jean's grandmother seemed happy to have convinced Jean.
"Yes grandma." Jean can only give up on her grandmother's arrangements, at least she's given a year to get to know Adam.
"Grandma, did grandma talk about sister-in-law just now?" Misael who had been silent at last asked.
"Yes, Adam is the brother-in-law of the two of you in the future, grandma will ask Jean to bring Adam here so that you get to know each other." Jean's grandmother answered Mishael and Liam gently. Seeing how much concern Jean's grandmother had for them made Jean a little envious.
"You don't need your grandmother's affection anymore, you're grown up so you should learn to get Adam's love." Grandpa Jean watched Jean look at Misael with envy. Jean chokes when she hears her grandfather's words.
