Chapter 284 - Two Hundred And Eighty-four: Feel The Way I Feel (1/2)

The third point of view:

Though Ailee suffered a superficial wound, Niklaus 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 Spencer 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?! ” Niklaus 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!” Niklaus fumed, about to strode out when Reina grabbed his arms.

”Niklaus, 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.

”Niklaus, 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, Niklaus,”

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,” Niklaus swore.

”We will,” She promised him, clasping his face, ”But now the kids need us more, alright?”

”Alright,”

After that incident of almost shooting his granddaughter to death, Sakuzi didn't have the guts to face Reina, hence releasing Niklaus without further delay. No one even remembered why they were fighting in the first place since everyone was concerned with keeping Ailee alive.

The man was burdened with guilt that he hadn't even called Reina to know how Ailee was faring, not that she would pick anyway.

Reina was so angry at her father it wouldn't surprise anyone if she removed herself from the family registry. Her father tried to hurt Niklaus amid her pleading? Where was the so-called love he claimed he had for her? Was a personal feud worth more than his daughter's happiness? Moreover, he almost killed Ailee in his process of exacting vengeance for his late son? That was unforgivable.

Meanwhile….

Isabella thought she was in heaven when she awoke. Everywhere was just white with holy radiance until her vision cleared.

”Oh, I can see?” She mumbled to herself. Taking in the look of the hospital room.

”You're awake,”

Isabella moved her head to the side,

”Pedro? What are you doing here? Don't you have something important to do other than watching me at my worst moment or are you always this useless? ”

”As insulting as that sounds, I'm highly relieved to hear that,” Pedro laughed heartily. If Isabella could whine her mouth like that, she was fine then.

”I'm glad you're okay,”

”Yeah, whatever. As if it would be easy to kill me, anyway,” Isabella readjusted her head on the pillow, facing upward.

”Does my father know I'm here?” It suddenly crossed her mind.

”Yes, he was here with Reina earlier but you were sleeping,”

”That sounds like good news,”

”Yeah, Reina finally admitted to being Maya but the bad news is, one of your siblings was shot at,”

”What?” She sat up instantly.

Pedro patiently narrated to her what happened.
