Chapter 461 - 461: Interrogation.
The emphasis of the child made David a little worried, it seemed to him like his ancestor had plans for the child, but what? He did not get the chance to ask more questions as the spirit floated away, going out if his sight.
Phoebe came back to his side and dragged him to go swimming and play under the waterfall. After that, they ate some of the fruits from the trees she planted in the space and then visited the library.
David thought it was cool seeing the statues of some of his other ancestors, the ones that got to be guardians of the space. While they did not react to Phoebe's presence, they lit up when he entered the hall.
It was if they were welcoming one of their own into their home which made Phoebe sulk a little. When they visited the library, the keeper did not give David a hard time. It even laughed and followed him, recommending books to read.
"Biased! You are all biased!" Phoebe stomped her foot angrily as she watched them go. Clearly, not everyone was in support of a Mayfair being the guardian of the space as it was a Saxon legacy.
After spending some quality time in the space, David had to return to the real world because he had work to do. Zephyra gave him a token that he could use to go in and out of the space as he wished.
David was grateful, he thanked the spirit for taking good care of Phoebe and assured it that he would not mess around in this life. Phoebe would be well taken care of and well protected.
"Who will protect my herbs from him." she mumbled. David was surely going to reap her some of her harvest and use it in his re
Phoebe let out a weary sigh. "When I started my shaman job." She raised herself to her feet. "I am going to the cafe." Her tone carried a hint of irritation.
Maureen gawked at Phoebe, reborn! It was this thought again. She had clearly seen right, and it was not the first time. What did this mean exactly, she questioned quietly. She had read and heard of rebirth stories, but it was mostly considered to be fiction and people that made such claims were often sent to mental institutions. She had not met anyone that was actually reborn.
She could not consider Phoebe to be a liar or a nut case. For one, Phoebe had thought about it and not said it out loud. Clearly, it was a secret and if it was the case truly then it made sense in some ways. Sometimes, it almost seemed as if Phoebe could predict the future of the world.
Perhaps Phoebe had truly lived one life, died and resurrected to re-live her life. But what did it mean for the rest of them, were they also reborn? Had the world turned back just so that Phoebe's life could be restarted? Or maybe Phoebe had dreamed of what her life would be and awakened with this knowledge.
"I'll be damned!" Maureen voice echoed; she hoped that one day Phoebe would shed more light on the matter.
For now, she would have to keep studying her. Maureen considered her mission of uncovering something about Phoebe done for the day. She stood up, draped her coat around her shoulders and went to the cafe.
Phoebe reluctantly followed her and found Gemma Michelson waiting to see her which was surprising. The young woman grabbed her arm as soon as she saw her.
"Miss Mayfair i cannot thank you enough for helping my father, he has made a full recovery." A big grin drawled on her lips.
Phoebe returned the smile. "There are a lot of stake holders that played a major role in that. It is good that you are here because I wanted to offer you a job, working at an orphanage. You will be compensated very well and there are additional benefits that come with the job like a car, housing fund, retirement benefits and time off."
Tears glistened in Gemma's eyes, Phoebe had already done so much for her, all she could do was appreciate her. "Of course, of course I will take it. Thank you so much Miss Mayfair, I will never take your kindness for granted."
Phoebe touched her stomach, she hoped the charity she was doing would accumulate blessings for her baby.
