"Why does my mother need to drink tea?... She's dead."

After Alexjin said those words, Geraldine pursed her lips and look back at him.

"Just follow what I told you Alexjin," She offered him a smile and turn her back against him, and used her body to prevent Alexjin from seeing his mother's body.

Alexjin didn't talk back and followed what his master asked him to do and put all his trust into her but the feeling of her mother's cold body remains on his senses.

After making medicinal tea in the kitchen, he took his time to go back as he felt his feet getting heavier when he got closer to where his mother is laying on the floor.

"Ma- master,"  He called out for her before coming out as a sign if she will let him in or there will be a new order.

"Come here Alexjin."

As soon as he heard it, Alexjin stepped out with his head facing down to avoid seeing the face of his mother.
