Chapter 713 - Seven Hundred And Thirteen: The Accident (1/2)
The third point of view:
Reina walked into the underground parking lot with her phone pressed to her ears because she was on call.
”You're still in the hospital?!” She sounded shocked, ”Why are you still in the hospital when the doctor says you're completely fine and ready to be discharged?” Reina asked her step-daughter, Isabella. The girl was really a strange one.
”I just want to,” Was Isabella's nonchalant answer that made her brow furrow.
Reina stopped walking in the middle of the parking lot and readjusted the phone on her ear to concentrate on the conversation with her daughter.
”Nobody in this world likes hospitals,” Reina stated.
”I don't like it either but this is the best place I can concentrate on my thoughts with no distraction,” Isabella said.
”Is Pedro there with you?” Reina asked knowing she would be able to communicate more with him than her stubborn ass of a daughter.
”No,”
”Where is he?”
”I sent him away?”
”Why?”
”I told you I need to concentrate on my thoughts,”
”Isabella,” Reina called, her brows furrowed, ”Is something wrong between you and Pedro?”
”No. Why do you ask?”
”I thought it was weird but now that I think about it, something seems off between the both of you,” She pointed out.
However, Isabella didn't hesitate to answer, ”As you said earlier, I developed cold feet about the wedding and now I think I need a little space to think about what I want,”
”Fine,” Reina sighed, ”Do whatever you want that makes you happy. Also, always remember that you have the choice here, and no one's forcing or pressuring you into getting married. If you think you still need more time, don't worry about us, just push back the wedding. Always remember that you're much more important to us than our would-be son-in-law and we would support every decision you make..... ”
Reina was still engrossed with advising Isabella that she didn't notice the approaching car. No, she heard the car coming but then, this was a parking lot and she hadn't given it much thought until she somehow turned and saw the car moving towards her with great speed.
