Chapter 32
Mr. Shepherd the Fine maker
Jade walked over to the old man and stood beside him. “Thank you, sir, for helping my friend. I’m Jade Onyx. I am wondering, are you Mr. Tee Shepherd?” She ventured carefully. The old man pondered over Jade’s introduction for some time, then looked up.
“Onyx?” He asked. “Papa Onyx?”
“He’s my grandfather,” Jade replied, delighted. He ought to be the one they are looking for.
“Good heavens. You are his granddaughter?” He looked up slowly.
“Yes sir. I am,” Jade was glad, this is a good start.
He clamped both hands on his tights, feeling overwhelmed. “How is he?”
“He passed away, many years ago. He was never in good states,” Jade said.
“I thought I might have a chance to see him again. Ahh… the last time we met was here, in this house. Good old times,” he said, dejected. His brows were messy, with only a few dark brows mingling among the whites. “Who is your father? Elijah or Rhu?”
