“I need to step out for a while,” Reina notified him.
“Where are you going?” Niles asked her.
“I have to hand these really important documents to my assistant and I’ll be right back,” She lied to him.
Reina knew if she dared tell Niles about her going to meet Jennifer, he would erupt in anger. It was common for people to lose their temper, and as a mother too, she understood what Jennifer was going through. Though she was wrong in hitting Isabella and Neon, the guilt was gnawing at her – that was a sign she regretted that decision.
“Alright,” He agreed without much thought.
“See you later,” Reina intended to peck him on the lips but trust Niles and his willingness to take advantage of every situation.
Niles tricked and kissed her deeply to the extent that even Eden was uncomfortable with the whole scene.
“We are going to discuss your rapacity later,” his frivolity was getting to her.
“Sure,” Niles grinned lewdly,
“Hopefully we’d talk on my bed,”
Reina gasped at his shamelessness, she went red in the face knowing Eden heard all that. Unable to land a comeback, she went her way.
Getting into her car, she drove to her destination thanks to the GPS coordinates Jennifer sent to her.
Reina didn’t step down immediately she arrived, rather scrutinized her environment to ensure she wasn’t falling into any trap – Sakuzi has taught her not to trust anyone wholeheartedly. Satisfied with the outcome, she made her way to the Cafe.
As expected, Jennifer was a mess; Her hair was messy, her eyes red and swollen from excessive crying while her clothes were stained.
Upon seeing her, Jennifer stood from her chair and embraced her in a surprise hug, “Thank you for coming,”
To think that this woman was hostile to her just a week again. Perhaps the fact that there wasn’t a permanent enemy nor friend was indeed true.
“It’s nothing,” Reina was uncomfortable with this new tenderness.
“Do you want anything, I could order -“
“No, I’m good,”
“Alright,” Jennifer said, then fanned the smoke of a lit incense in her direction.
“What is that?” Reina was creeped out by the way she inhaled those.
“It’s a kind of calming medicinal incense. After the incident, I found out I couldn’t settle down, hence bought these – got the recommendation from the internet,” Jennifer pushed the stick in her direction, “Here you should try it,”
“No,” Reina rejected as soon as the strong smoke wafted into her nose. She pushed it back to her, “No, thanks,”
“You don’t want it?” her voice sounded disappointed.
Reina tried to explain, “No, is not that I don’t want it but I’m -“
“You hate me, don’t you?” Jennifer accused her out of nowhere.
“What?” Reina was stunned by the sudden change of events.
“Get out!”
“Huh?!”
“I said GET OUT!” Jennifer shrieked so loud the other customers in the shop were startled.
Reina didn’t need to be told twice, she picked up her purse and left – so much for trying to help a wounded soul. Isabella was right, Jennifer was not alright. They needed to take her to a psychiatrist before she hurts anyone.
With that thought in mind, Reina drove back to the hospital, however, something happened on the way.
While driving back, Reina found out she was having a hard time concentrating on the road no matter how much she shook the dizziness out of her head. The next she knew, she fell asleep on the steeling, her car crashed.
Niles point of views
I was having some discussion with my kids when news came to my ears that Reina had an accident.
I couldn’t believe my ears, no, I didn’t want to believe it, how could that have happened? Reina was just with me an hour ago, she said she needed to take care of a little errand, how could she be involved in an accident?
This must be a sort of nightmare, I must be having a realistic dream. But then, no matter how much I denied it, the truth was right in front of me. She had the clash on her way back to the hospital, hence was taken here immediately.
The doctors told me she had nonfatal injuries but I didn’t want to believe them until I saw her with my own eyes. That was what they told me during Kay’s time until she was confirmed dead.
As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to hate hospitals from now on. First was Ailee getting admitted, followed by Isabella and now Reina? Who knows whether Allen is next? I have to tie him up somewhere safe before anything of that sort happens.
This was just so maddening, Maria seems to have a knack for making my life miserable. First, it was falling off the bridge and losing her for seven years, and now this? I’m just so tired of getting taken unaware.
“What did you get?” I asked Eden who had offered to investigate the source of the incident while I waited for news from the ongoing surgery plus calm the kids from panicking.
“According to eyewitnesses and other drivers, Reina had fallen asleep on the steering wheel hence crashing into the car in front of her,” Eden narrated his findings.
“That’s suspicious,” I said, ” Reina would never sleep on the wheel neither is she suicidal. She wouldn’t have driven at all if she knew she was drowsy or taken such a drug,” it just seemed too doubtful. Did my father have a hand in this? If he truly did, I’m afraid I’m going to kill him with my own hands.
“I thought the same thing, hence did more investigation and stumbled upon something interesting. Through the surveillance camera, I found out that just before Reina hit the road, she came out of a Cafe after meeting a special someone,” He flashed a derisive smirk at me and I didn’t like it one bit.
“Who is it?” I hated the unnecessary hesitation from Eden, this wasn’t some sort of reality show.
“Who do you think other than your one and only Jennifer,” He dropped the news.
