I then changed into the swimsuit and got into the hot spring. The forty-plus-degree temperature was perfect for me and I felt so much for relaxed after soaking for a while.
Perhaps Summer had been swimming a lot recently, for she easily jumped into the pool and swam over to me frog-style. As the pool was shallow, she leaned on me and hung around me as we chatted.
Cameron had gotten someone to bring over some pastries. Soon, the spa therapists had also arrived. Since Moore Residence was huge and Cameron loved beauty, she had designed a room specifically for beauty and spa related activities. I entered and lay on the bed, enjoying the relaxing feeling coming from every part of my body. Soon, I fell asleep.
When I next woke up, the spa therapist had already left. Cameron then came in with a glass of carrot juice. “Are you awake?”
I nodded and got up to change my clothes. After the treatment, my body was feeling very relaxed and comfortable.
She laughed lightly and said, “Drink something first. We’re going to have dinner soon. We are lucky Summer is here to accompany us for a few days while you guys are busy. Otherwise, we would’ve been really bored.”
When I went to the living room, Ashton was already there. Since he was playing chess with Zachary, I left them alone and headed for the kitchen instead. When Cameron saw me, she said, “Go rest in the living room for a while. Dinner will be ready soon!”
I nodded and yawned. “When did Ashton arrive?”
“He’s been here for almost an hour,” she replied. Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, are you guys planning to go to Moranta?”
I nodded. “One of Old Mr. Fuller’s comrades seemed to be there, so we’re going over to visit him!”
Cameron hummed in reply and said, “You guys hadn’t been able to rest properly even after coming home from work these few days. It’s about time you guys took a good rest. Your body can’t handle it if you just run around all the time!”
I nodded and smiled as I understood where she was coming from. Then, I took the plate of freshly steamed crabs from her and headed to the dining room.
Ashton and Zachary were having a chat when I entered.
Zachary said, “Archie is almost ninety. I’m afraid this trip may be the last time you’ll ever get to see him.”
Ashton nodded slightly and replied, “Life and death are determined by fate. Mr. Taylor would die as a good man.”
I took a seat beside Ashton, then looked at Zachary and asked, “Dad, you know Old Mr. Fuller’s comrade too?”
He smiled faintly. “It’s already been so many years, and they are all heroes, so of course I know them.”
That’s true. I nodded in reply.
Zachary looked at me and paused before he said, “Mr. Fuller said that you gave the sandalwood box your Grandma left you to that Murphy kid?”
