Chapter 687 - Six Hundred And Eighty-Seven: Pedro Was Hers To Punish (1/2)

The third point of view:

Clarity filled Isabella after she spoke with Reina. She sighed, so this was the importance of having a mother - one who could clear her head when she's underwater.

”Thank you,” Isabella said to Reina's surprise - the girl hardly said ”thanks” even up to now. So the woman was more surprised when Isabella pulled her into her arms and hugged her once more.

Reina was right, why should she give up on Pedro just because of an incident? Giving up on Pedro would be the same as admitting defeat to that woman and she, Isabella, never gives up and would never give up.

There was a sinister glint in Isabella's eyes while hugging Reina, her jaw resting on her shoulder. Since Natasha had tried to come in the way of her happiness, she would not be polite either. Two women can never have one man, one of them would have to concede and she - Isabella - would never bow her head to that nobody.

Moreover, Natasha touched something that doesn't belong to her and would pay for what she did. Once Jean found her, she would regret ever knowing someone like her.

”You can hide Natasha but you can't hide forever,” Isabella declared in her heart, a smirk tugging her lips to the side.

And as for Pedro, she knew the perfect way to torment him - unless he confessed the truth. In this life, she was the only one who had the right to punish him. No one else.

Meanwhile, Niklaus who was still outside had a smile on his face. As he expected, he was right to rely on his wife's great ability to clear crises.

”By the way,” Reina finally pulled away, ”Why are you in the hospital? Jean told me you collapsed,”

”Oh, that,” Isabella was taken aback by the question since it had come out of nowhere, ”The doctor said it was stress,”

Isabella was speaking the truth, she had fainted out of stress and low blood sugar caused by her pregnancy but she omitted that part. Nobody has to know yet.

”Stress?!” Reina was angered, ”You must be stressed up with the wedding preparations and all! Where the hell is Pedro by the way? Shouldn't he be here by now?”

Exactly, where was Pedro? Niklaus concurred with that.

As if they finally summoned him, Pedro was running at full speed only to stop short when he saw Niklaus at the entrance of the hospital. His heart began to pound in his throat because of the way Niklaus was glaring at him.

”Good day sir Niklaus,” Pedro gulped, struggling to keep his gaze on his soon-to-be father-in-law. If eyes were bullets, he was sure he would be long dead and Niklaus would be walked out by the police in handcuffs.

Niklaus didn't say anything - his gaze already showed he was displeased with Pedro - instead, he intentionally cleared his throat to announce his arrival and walked in, with Pedro following after him with a good distance between them.

Isabella and Reina noticed their presence after Pedro greeted him so their eyes rested on them immediately they entered.

”Father,”
