The punch threw the woman off balance, but she didn’t fall. Jennifer?glanced up at Isabella with loathing,
“I should have known you’re the only one capable of breaking into my house,” she wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth.
“How do you become this way? You are not behaving like the Jennifer I knew?” Isabella kept Neon behind her protectively. If it comes down to fighting, she could defeat Jennifer without effort notwithstanding their age.
Jennifer threw her head back and laughed,” You don’t know me at all, no, I should thank you for making me see who I really am – not the pathetic, weak, Jennifer! Now hand Neon over,”
“No,” Isabella was firm.
Jennifer lunged at her.
Isabella had already prepared to ram her fist into her head with enough force to knock her out when the woman brought out something from the pocket of her pants, spraying her straight in the eye.
“My eyes!” Isabella shrieked, searching around blindly.
“Stop hurting Isabella, mom!” Neon shouted and bit the woman on the thigh.
Jennifer screamed from the pain and out of vexation, pushed Neon hard that he hit his head on the wall and passed out.
Unfortunately, for Jennifer to turn around and survey the damage she did, Pedro whacked her from behind, she lost consciousness.
“I don’t hit women but you’re an exception,” He threw away the iron he had picked at the corner of the room.
“Isabella!” He walked over to the girl on the floor, crawling on all fours and bumping into things.
“Hey,” He made her sit down.
“Pedro, I’m blind!” She shouted, reaching out for anything.
“You’re not blind, Isabella,” He told her but it wasn’t as assuring as he thought.
“Pedro I’m blind! Does it mean I can’t see my father?! Maria?! My siblings?! And even worse, Neon?!”
“Calm down, Isabella! The blindness is only temporary!”
“I can’t calm down! Gosh, I must look hideous right now! I’m so ugly! You must be disgusted with me! I must look like a beast!” She raved, shaking him.
Pedro had always seen Isabella, as a brave, collected, girl who had no problem at all. But seeing her now encountering a panic attack, she looked no different than the weaker vessel she was and needed his protection.
So, Pedro used that pathetic excuse to kiss her. Moreover, he read somewhere that kisses break the flow of thoughts and triggers which are leading to the attack. Or maybe, he just wanted to do that.
Hard as it was to admit, Isabella was glad when Pedro’s lips covered hers in a warm kiss that regulated her already fast breath. It was slow and inquisitive, as if he was asking for permission to proceed.
Hell yeah.
The kiss slowly gained passion. She forgot all about her hideous passion or the sting in her eyes, instead plunging deep into this placating kiss.
Isabella wished she could see the expression on his face when they pulled away. Was he already regretting it because he was with Anabelle? Or did he somehow deeply desire they would kiss once again as she wanted?
“I should probably search for milk or saline solution to wash this off,”
His warmth left her.
The third point of view:
Though Ailee suffered a superficial wound, Niles demanded the best treatment to be given to her. He had even planned flying her abroad immediately had Reina not calmed him down.
But it seems trouble is the only friend of the Sparks family, for less than an hour later, they received news from Pedro. All was not well.
Reina didn’t remember much about Isabella but her heart broke at the sight of the girl when she was brought into the hospital. Thanks to Pedro’s fast thinking, the irritant burning pain had reduced but doctors took charge to flush the rest of the spray from her eyes.
“What the hell happened?! ” Niles was not relaxed at all, he stunk of bloodlust. Reina was the only person holding him back from committing murder.
“It was Jennifer. She attacked us when we tried rescuing Neon,” Pedro narrated.
“Neon?”
“He’s also admitted, sustained some head injury,”
“Why would Jennifer do that to her kid?” Reina was horrified.
“Isabella has been following her, she tried to take Neon away after we found out she’s been abusing him,”
“I’m going to kill that bitch!” Niles fumed, about to strode out when Reina grabbed his arms.
“Niles, you’d only make things worse if you react with anger. You have to chill out,” she pleaded.
“Then so be it,” He declared and snatched free his hand.
However, Reina wasn’t giving up on him. She blocked his way and drew him into a hug, refusing to release him even as he struggled against her.
“Niles, take a deep breath,” she instructed.
“I’d be much better after punching her face; she dared to touch Isabella?!” He growled, his body vibrating with anger and trying hard not to toss Reina who clung to him like an octopus.
“Think about Ailee too, she needs you now more than ever, Niles,”
That comment did the magic because the raving beast inside of him was lulled, the molten anger in his veins, extinguished as well.
“I’m going to make her pay,” Niles swore.
