Chapter 1160 A Warm Home Part 2
After a hot bath, Kana put on the long s.h.i.+rt that went down to her ankles and smiled. She wiggled her small toes that she had not seen in such a long time. She left the bathroom feeling much better than she did before. When she saw Jay, she said: "I am done."
"Alright. You should eat and rest a bit before going to sleep. Tomorrow morning, Todd"s sister will be over. She will take us out to do some shopping. His family will be helping us a little to get on our feet." Jay said with a smile. He walked over, took the towel from Kana, and sat on the couch. "Come sit on the floor. I will dry your hair."
Kana pursed her lips but still did as she was told. She did not like other guys touching her in any way, but Jay seemed more like a big brother than anything. She could tell he had no meaning than to act like a parent figure to her. About a half hour went by, and Jay, who clumsily dried Kana"s hair, felt very good. "We should eat. I will warm up the food."
"Okay." Kana nodded and watched as Jay walked to the kitchen area. He took out four boxes of food from the bag, one of which, when he opened it, made Kana"s eyes glow! Meat! A mound of it, too! She did her best to compose herself, but the drool escaping her lips could not be hidden.
Gina walked in, saw the blanket on the floor, and frowned. She knew Jay would give up his bed to the kid. But when she saw the sleeping face of the young girl on the bed her eyes almost watered up. The malnourished look the girl had broke her heart. "Jay you are really a good guy."
"You say that all the time." Jay sighed. He placed his hand on top of Gina"s head and said: "go sit down next to her. We have to wait until she wakes up."
"Okay." Gina nodded before walking over and gently sitting on the bed. She looked at the young girl whose eyes were closed and listened to her steady breathing. "Her name"s Kana?"
"Mm…" Jay replied as he picked up his blanket. "I have no idea how long she had been out on the streets. But she no longer needs to worry about that anymore."
"My parents have said they want to pay to give you a two bedroom apartment in one of the buildings we own. It"s free of charge. I know you do not like handouts, but please take it. If you want to raise the girl, then you need to put your pride aside." Gina and actually talked her father into this last night. She wanted Jay to have a better house as it was and she knew he could not afford it. At least this way he could have free rent and use the money her earned to feed himself and the kid without issue.
"Let me think on it today…."
