The housekeeper explained, "Ever since Ms. Jessica's accident, she's avoided this place to repress the painful memories. Sothese are all her previous works. Did you not find the drawing she mentioned?"
"That's not it," Grace muttered.Then, she took out her phone and said, "I'm not sure which one it is. I'll take a picture and ask her."
The housekeeper didn't doubt her and replied, "Sure, go ahead. While you're at it, ask Ms. Jessica if she will return anytimesoon. That would be best."
The housekeeper sounded like she was looking forward to it.
Grace looked up at her. She couldn't help but think that she, too, had grown up without her parents. Fortunately, she had alwayshad Marien around to care for her and had lived a comfortable life.
"You've watched Jessica grow up, so you must be close to her, right?"
The housekeeper replied, "I'm just a housekeeper."
She made her identity and position clear with a simple statement.
Grace didn't press on further but quickly took pictures of the drawings with her phone.
“Even though we're Jessica's friends, we don't know much about her. Since her birthday is coming up, we wondered what kind ofbirthday gift she would like. You should know her well. Can you give us any ideas?"
The housekeeper lit up at the mention of Jessica's preferences, and she began to loosen up."Ms. Jessica had always been kind. She's always been adored by everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Landon also doted on her.
"She liked to draw since she was young, and Mrs. Landon thought she was gifted in art. So she sent her to art classes when shewas five years old."
The housekeeper spoke incessantly, sharing many details, including some about their daily lives. It was evident that she caredfor Jessica a lot.
Toward the end, the housekeeper sighed. "It would be great if her parents were still here. She would surely be the happiestperson in the world."
The conversation turned somber at this point.
Grace pursed her lips and continued, "Would you mind telling us about the accident that happened five years ago? What do youknow about it?"
The housekeeper shook her head and said, "The police investigated that matter long ago. It was an accident. There's nothingmore to it. We can't inquire about these things.
"Oh, did you find the drawing Ms. Jessica was looking for?"Grace snapped back to attention and pulled out two drawings from the stack.novelbin
