Jagoan quickened his pace to catch up, and Shania and Uriah could only do the same after glancing at each other.
Yvonne’s house was in front of him.
Yvonne’s home looked like it had a lot of history. Due to its age, the cement was starting to fall off, and cracks were everywhere.
If it were in the city, such a house would be condemned, and people would not be allowed to live in it. However, such a house seemed to make sense here.
Jagoan set foot in Yvonne’s house without hesitation.
Yvonne’s home was cramped and dark. Although there was a light bulb from a wire hanging from the ceiling, the dim light could not dispel the gloom in the room. Besides that, the room was damp with a strange musty smell that made Uriah frown.
“Dad, I’ve brought my friends…” Yvonne said excitedly, helping her father out of bed.
Jagoan looked over to see that Yvonne’s father had a rugged face and an unshaven chin.
He was about 40 years old, but he looked like he was 50 or 60 years old. Besides that, Yvonne’s dad’s left arm ended at the elbow. However, the wound on the elbow was inflamed and was discharging pus as if it had gone bad.
“Hello… Hello…” Yvonne’s dad looked in amazement at Jagoan, Shania, and Uriah.
He could not help being surprised.
Jagoan’s clothes were simple, but he was neat and gave off a clean vibe. Shania and Uriah dressed more expensively.
Shania and Uriah were wearing the same outfit they wore to Miriam’s birthday ball last night.
These three people did not belong to the slum, so why did they come to the slum and my home?
Who the h*ll are they?
What do they have to do with my daughter?
Had it been Jagoan or Uriah alone, he might have thought that his daughter had been lucky enough to find a rich boyfriend or lover and brought him back to meet him. However, three people were standing before him, one of whom was an elegant and beautiful lady who was much better than his daughter. Thus, Yvonne‘s father was full of doubts.
“They are… Are…” Yvonne wanted to introduce Jagoan, Shania, and Uriah to her father but realized she did not even know their names.
“My name is Jagoan Jagoan…”
