Diamond watched amusedly as Ruby stood frozen in place for a while before urging her friends.
"Andrea, take a video of Ruby! Hehe, I am going to keep this. Let her rember to listen to her sister next ti!" Diamond slyly ordered with a smile.
Now that she had the ans to rescue her family, all the anxiety and worry was gone. It was now replaced with joy. And seeing Ruby shivering from a distance, she just wanted to tease the other.
[Okay!]
Diamond then waited patiently for Ruby and her group of friends to arrive.
On Ruby’s side, she was still in shock as she hurriedly ran with her friends towards the bus she had seen earlier and even heard her friends admiring her while she was calling her sister.
Was her sister really there?
Where did she get the bus? There was no way a bus like that could be seen in Taco. It was the kind that could be seen maybe in major cities. She had seen a few of them in Frin but never expected to see her sister in one.
Just what was her sister hiding from them?
"Are you sure that your sister is on that bus?"
"What’s up with all the questions? Won’t you be able to see it once we are there!"
"If I had known it would rain, I would have spent the day with the others at ho!"
The girls complained as they continued to run to the bus.
After a while, the group finally reached the bus. And as if there was magic, the door opened itself revealing the exquisite interior within.
Ruby had her eyes on the driver, very curious whether her sister was the one driving or there was another driver she didn’t know about.
"OMG!" she exclaid, her eyes brightening up while her mouth went agape with surprise.
’Sister is the one driving the bus! Where did she get it?’
"Get inside! Aren’t you afraid of the cold?" Diamond scolded upon seeing Ruby and her friends standing there frozen.
"Ah!" Ruby woke up from her trance before hurriedly entering the bus.
As soon as she climbed onto the bus, she was welcod with a warm breeze that began to instantly warm her cold body.
"Get inside you, guys!" Ruby urged as soon as she was inside.
Ruby’s friends entered the bus and crowded Ruby as they didn’t know where to go. The interior was simply too beautiful, that they felt ashad of soiling the furniture with their wet clothes.
"Ruby, settle your friends in the lounge. Mom and Dad are at the back. Go and check them once you are done checking on them," Diamond instructed Ruby as soon as everyone was inside.
Ruby flashed a grin at Diamond before urging her friends inside.
Diamond shook her head helplessly as she looked at the girls who seed to have sothing to say to her but were a bit reserved to say anything.
Once the girls were gone, Diamond didn’t linger around anymore but had Andrea start the bus.
Ruby settled her friends first before she rushed to the back.
After knocking for a mont, she heard her mother’s voice.
Ruby then opened the door and smiled tearily upon seeing her parents sleeping cozily on the bed.
The three reunited and chatted for a while before Ruby returned to her friends.
She couldn’t leave her friends alone. Her sister obviously would be busy with driving. Besides, if she wasn’t there, how would her sister know where to drop her friends?
So, she passed her friends first and went to the front where she found Diamond holding the steering wheel.
"Oh, you are done?" Diamond asked without taking a look at Ruby.
"Hugh. I am done," Ruby absentmindedly responded as she looked at the front window.
What was she seeing?
Why did the road look so clear as if no rain was falling anywhere near them?
What was going on?
She couldn’t help but ponder. However, she didn’t dare ask her sister as well. What if she was just hallucinating because of the chill she got from the rain?
"Where should I drop your friends?" Diamond asked as she readied the GPS.
When she heard that, Ruby finally ca to be and began to tell her sister about the girls’ addresses one by one.
Diamond dutifully inputted all the addresses. Andrea would know what to do, so she was at ease.
"Okay. Go and accompany your friends! You will also warm up being there!" Diamond didn’t hesitate to chase her sister away as soon as she got what she wanted from her.
Ruby sulked at her sister upon being chased but when she thought of how curious her friends would be because of all this, she decided to go and show off a bit.
Weren’t they the ones that were busy doubting her sister? No matter how many tis she praised her sister, these girls continued to doubt. Now weren’t they feeling face slapped with what they were seeing?
Diamond chuckled softly as she listened to the hushed conversation of the little girls.
’It’s nice being young!’ she thought happily.
One by one, Diamond dropped the girls at their houses. And every ti the girls’ parents would look at her gratefully, Diamond was filled with so much warmth.
She was just happy seeing and knowing that she had helped people once again though it wasn’t her intention in the first place.
After dropping off all the girls, the Perry family was finally the one remaining on the bus.
Ruby didn’t go to her parents but joined Diamond at the stairs.
The two sisters joked all the way back to the villa. Throughout the process, Ruby observed her sister and honestly what she saw truly shocked her.
However, it wasn’t the right ti to ask. Since they would be ho soon, she would just get her answers there.
The RV finally returned to the villa. And Ruby watched as the steering wheel practically moved itself as the bus was parking.
In other words, she saw how relaxed Diamond was as she placed her phone in her bottom pocket.
’Diamond hadn’t been driving all this while!’ that’s what she finally accepted upon seeing the last part.
After parking the RV, Ruby rushed to the bedroom where she ca out with her smiling parents. The family of four left the RV but the three of them were worried about the rain. After being in the comfort zone, to get their bodies wet again from the rain, the three couldn’t help but sulk.
But when they stepped on the ground following Diamond, they all looked at her with complicated gazes.
No one said anything as they hurriedly followed behind them. Watching the spectacle scene of rain literally avoiding where they were walking, the three all knew that everything was happening because of Diamond.
’Is sister this strong?’
’No wonder why Diamond is always confident. Just what kind of fruitful encounter did she get to be this powerful?’
’As usual, my darling is aweso!’
The family of four entered the villa with different thoughts.
And as soon as they entered, Diamond glared at everyone before right in their eyes, four bottles of water appeared in her hands.
"OMG! Did that just happen?"
"I think I might be dreaming!"
Belinda and Ruby both exclaid upon seeing what Diamond had just done. Richard was also stunned, but he was just too stunned to say it out. The best he could do was look at his daughter with a complicated gaze.
"I know that you have questions but for now, they can wait. Drink the water and take a warm bath. You will be fine when you are done. We will talk after you change!" Diamond said as she passed the bottles to the three.
Although they had questions, after hearing Diamond’s stern tone, they all knew that their curiosity would have to wait.
So, under the unwavering gaze of Diamond, the three took the elevator and headed upstairs.
As for Diamond, she went to the kitchen where she prepared a quick al for her family. As they had been hiding from the rain, she didn’t think that they had eaten anything at all.
Besides, she was too worried before to think of feeding herself. After exhausting herself in the Golden Space, Diamond wanted to eat.
One hour later, the family gathered once again, and a hot al was served.
The family for the first ti in a while just ate their food without saying anything. After filling their tummies, Ruby took the dishes and cleaned them up.
When she was done, she joined everyone in the living room where Diamond had taken the single sofa that currently faced where everyone was sitting.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Diamond knew that it was ti to co quarter-clean.
As long as her words satisfy these three, it would suffice. It wasn’t like the truth was sothing that all of them could handle at the mont.
"Okay, now go ahead and ask. For the questions I can answer, I will but for others, I am sorry in advance," Diamond decided to be forthright with them before they began.
"Huh, as long as we can ask and get so answers. That’s all we want!" Belinda heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
