Chapter 885
Faced with Felicia’s theatrics, Severin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected she would use this trick on him since he only had ever seen her use it on William.
“Mom, the thing is I can’t keep watching over you all every second. What if someone tries to murder you? You’ll still be dead even if I managed to avenge you. Then I’ll have to live the rest of my life in regret. So it’s best if you stay here…”
Felicia immediately stopped crying. She then stood up and said seriously, “Everybody will eventually die someday. Besides, I heard from Diane that fighters like you have come to learn not to fear death. I might not be a fighter but I’m prepared to meet with the grim reaper anytime. What’s the point of living if I can’t even go after my dreams? I, Felicia Shanahan, swear to live life to the fullest even if it means I’ll die sooner than later.”
“Fine… how can I say no after that little speech of yours?” said Severin with a shake of his head.
“Yay! Does that mean you’ll let us go with you?” Felicia asked, all starry-eyed.
“That settles it then! We’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I’ve already planned out the route we should take,” said Megan.
“Wow, hold on, hold on. What are you talking about? When did you plan out the route? And why do we have to leave first thing tomorrow morning when the birthday party is still days away?” asked Severin.
“What Megan meant to say is, we’ll make a road trip out of it. We can stop along the smaller cities and take in the view on our way to Skystream City. Wouldn’t that be fun?” said Felicia.
Severin was completely speechless. They’ve planned this all along!’
‘I think Megan’s plan is great too! I mean, think about how romantic it would be to take in the scenery as we meander along the road?” said Sheila.
Severin looked at Diane with a resigned expression. In return, Diane simply shrugged and said, “You can, count me in too since Mom and Megan are going. I mean, we don’t get this kind of opportunity that often.”
“Fine. Since the four of you insist on tagging along, I’ll ask Wendy and the others to come with us too. I’ll be more at ease if they’re there to protect you all,” said Severin, finally giving in.
“Okay, great. I’ll go pack my things now,” said Diane happily. It was obvious she was itching to go to Skystream City too.
After thinking about it, Severin muttered to himself, “Well, a road trip does sound nice. I can use this as an opportunity to collect information about the other halls and gangs along the way.”
Sheila and Megan were beyond the mood too. They immediately skipped up the stairs to pack up their things.
