Chapter 663 | Recognize You Guys

Although this bone was not the Dragon Bone Gerald absorbed, he was sure that it was the Bone of Eternity.

When Aarav saw this thing, his expression changed. He seemed to have realized something and sighed. Then, he said to the three people who were wailing, “Call Jefferson Zuniga back and prepare for the funeral.”

Jefferson must be the eldest son of this family. Now that Tristan’s wife was pregnant with a second baby, he wanted to nourish her and hunt some game. As a result, he ended up dead.

Gerald, Valery, and the others looked at each other and quietly left. They returned to Joanna’s home.

Just as they arrived, they saw Joanna’s mother carrying a piece of bacon and walking out of the room with Joanna and her younger brother.

Seeing Gerald, Joanna’s mother smiled. “Grab a seat here. Someone in the village died. I’m too weak to help, but I have to go and take a look.”

As she spoke, she thought of something and said, “Joanna, stay and cook. Make enough dishes so they can eat at our place. We have another piece of bacon at home. Go and cook with it.”

Joanna nodded. “Be careful, mom.”

Gerald did not refuse her good intentions. They needed to cook. The dead villager seemed to not affect Joanna. She nodded at Gerald and the others in embarrassment and said, “I’m going to cook for you.”

She ran to the kitchen.

There were two stoves in the kitchen with a big pot on one of them and a small one on the other.

Joanna skillfully set a fire and then boiled a pot of water.

She put a stool in front of the stoves. Because she was short, she had to stand on the stool to cook.

“Let me help you.” Gerald walked over and said softly.

“No need. Making a fire in the city is different from the way it’s done here.” Joanna smiled.

When the fire grew bigger, Joanna seemed to be quite happy as she skipped out the door.

In the kitchen, the smoke rose. Valery and the others were choked, but they did not say anything.

“Valery, how much cash do you have?” Gerald asked.

“I brought 16 thousand dollars with us and I now have 15K left. Are you going to give the money to them?” Valery asked.

Gerald nodded and said, “I do, but if we give them too much, they probably won’t accept it. I feel heartache to

I see a little girl cooking by herself. Let’s talk about it when we are eating. We have to pay for this meal.”

“Hmm.” Carolyn nodded. “This place is too remote. Joanna is a good girl. We have to help her as much as we could.”

As they spoke, they walked out of the house and found that Joanna was holding a sickle and carrying a basket on her back. She walked into a small garden. She looked around and finally cut a cabbage, a few gourds, and cucumbers.

When she came back, her nose was covered in sweat. She said to Gerald and the others in embarrassment. “We only grow three kinds of vegetables.”

“It’s fine.” Valery smiled. “Joanna, make a fire. I’ll cook for you.”

“Hmm?” Joanna was stunned. “Can you cook?”
