Nelson and his wife watched Chester for a while and then hurried to catch the plane, leaving Chester behind.
As expected, Chester was very obedient. He didn't disturb Nina or John. He simply sat on the sofa and paged through a book he had taken from his schoolbag.
It was Yuval Noah Harari's book, called "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind."
The author, Yuval Noah Harari, earned his doctorate in history from the University of Oxford. He was a professor of history at Bar-Ilan University in Jerusalem. With the publication of his book, he became renowned as an expert in history.
If many history books were written from a bird's-eye view of the world, the world was the world as viewed from a satellite.
Nina was surprised. A ten-year-old child was reading "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" and even making notes in the margins.
Chester lowered his head and read carefully. His profile was quite handsome. Not even adolescent yet, and he already was adorable. He would probably break quite a few hearts before he settled down.
Nina saw a lot of John in Chester, at least physically.
These two people looked very much alike.
Nina cou
was a knock on the door. Richard reported, "Mr. and Mrs. Shi, Miss Jessica Shi, Mr. Daniel Shi and their family are here."
Speak of the devil!
Jessica pushed the door open and walked in first, Jason at her side.
Daniel's family followed them in.
"Uncle Daniel, Aunt Angela, Aunt Jessica, James, Dora." Chester stood up and greeted everyone politely.
Nina also stood up and nodded with a smile.
Jessica greeted them casually. She walked straight to the bedside, and the others sat on the sofa for now.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Angela held Nina's hand and whispered, "James told me. Did you really get hurt?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. John got hurt, so he's stuck here for another week." Nina looked in John's direction, a worried expression on her face.
Jessica looked at John with a concerned expression. "So how did you get hurt? Is it serious?"
"No, it's not. Can we talk about something else?" John looked fine. He seemed okay.
But Jessica knew that John wouldn't say anything even if something did happen to him.
The more John insisted he was fine, the more worried Jessica became.
She had to find out the truth.
