Chapter 289 - Two Hundred And Eighty-nine: I Remember (2/2)

I was amused, this crazy woman had high expectations. I scoffed, ”Keep on dreaming,” and turned to leave.

Jennifer needs to be locked up in a mental asylum before she hurts others and possibly herself.

”If I can't have you, Niklaus Spencer, nobody will!” I heard her roar but didn't glance back at her. She can continue with her delusion.

”Niklaus, watch out!” I heard Eden warn me.

I turned in time to see Jennifer coming at me with a knife. I simply sidestepped her, she went awry and lost her balance, crashing into the tables and chairs at that side and passed out from the impact.

Eden snatched the knife from her grasp while I tried to calm my racing heart. As expected, adrenaline had kicked in at that last minute.

”Go and stay with Reina, I would deal with her,” Eden said to me.

”Thank you,” I said to him, extremely grateful. I was just about to leave when something came into my head and I didn't hold it in.

”I'm sorry for snatching Kay from you,” I apologized.

Eden looked up, staring at me like I was an alien, ” Are you Niklaus or another personality possessing him?”

”I take back my words -”

”I'm sorry for tipping off the police on that day. Trust me when I tell you I never intended Kay to die, heck! I didn't even know she was there. I just wanted to cost you that deal so your father could punish you,” he confessed.

I wrinkled my nose, ”Yeah, I know. Why do you think I've been keeping it a secret since then till that day,”

”Because you wanted to show off your stupid magnanimity to my face?” he teased me.

I chuckled, ”Maybe,”

Eden laughed.

”You know, maybe, when all of this craziness is over, we could have a drink sometime,” I offered.

”No problem, as far as you don't end up falling for my charms,” He joked.

”You don't have to worry, I trust Isabella to bring my senses back around,”

We laughed like old-time friends.

”I should go to Reina,”

”Yeah,” Eden nodded, looking away,

”Don't scold her too much, she's designed that way; no matter what she has gone through over the years, Maya just likes to see the good in everybody amid the darkness,”

”Yeah,” I concurred with him,” She has the 'one woman can change the world' bullshit personality,” I breathed, exhausted.

”It's bullshit, however, that's her charm. So if you don't take good care of the rare gem you have, I'll take her away from you - kids or not,”

”You can try but we both know she would still end up running back to me because we're meant for each other. She's my match made in heaven, bro and I hope you find yours too,” I said to him sincerely.

”Alright, so can you can please stop rubbing the whole thing in my face and get the hell out of here,” Eden groaned.

I patted him on the shoulder and left the Cafe, the police would do their duty soon. But there was no need, even with the charges after the investigation, Jennifer would end up in a psychiatrist for half of her life.

By the time I got to the hospital, Reina had gotten out of surgery and according to the doctors, suffered a concussion and a neck injury, nothing else - no damage to her internal body parts.

Isabella took great care of the kids and it was comforting to see them getting along with Neon. The boy would have to see a therapist once he's discharged from the hospital, thanks to his mother's abuse of him.

Surprisingly, Anabelle dropped by afterward but I didn't stay to watch their interaction since I received news from the nurses that Reina has awoken and wanted to see me.

”Hey,” I came into the room and sat by her bedside, smiling warmly at her.

She didn't reply, just kept staring at me for up to five minutes which became quite creepy.

”Reina, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face or something?” I asked and at the same time, wiped my face with my hands.

”Niklaus, I think I remember,” was her sudden comment.

I froze, ”W-what?”

”I've recovered my memories,”
