Chapter 288 - Two Hundred And Eighty-eight: Kill Adam (2/2)

”Listen, Reina, I'm so sorry,” Her voice was broken and hoarse. It seemed like she had been crying for hours.

”I think you should save that apology for Isabella and your kid, Neon. What kind of mother are you?” Remembering that incident, made Reina's blood boil.

”I know... I know... I don't know what came over for me, I just lost it. Reina, I think something's wrong with me and I don't know who to go to, I don't have any friends nor anyone in this city... gosh, I'm so afraid, I'm so sorry for what I did... What is happening to me? ” Effused Jennifer.

Reina frowned, could it be that what Isabella said was true, Jennifer was losing her mind?

”Where are you?” Reina asked.

”I'm at this Cafe, I couldn't go back to my place... It reminds me of what I did to them, ”

Oh, she was lucky not to have gone back, Niklaus already has people waiting for her.

”Send me the location, I'll be there immediately,” Reina ended the call and went back to the discussing duo - Niklaus and Eden.

”I need to step out for a while,” Reina notified him.

”Where are you going?” Niklaus 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 Niklaus 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 Niklaus and his willingness to take advantage of every situation.

Niklaus 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,” Niklaus 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.
