Chapter 398 - Three Hundred And Ninety-eight: Retaliation
The third point of view:
Reina honestly didn't want to do this, but she had no choice. After all, she had promised Niklaus?- Sakuzis' never go back on their words.
"It's just a visit," Niklaus reminded her as he drove. It was almost as if Reina was preparing for battle with the way she clenched her fist and looked on ahead with determination.
"I know," She replied, finally taking her eyes off the road and focusing on him. The discussion with her father had gone the way she thought it would be - the man confessed to everything.
It was her fault anyway, she had been the one who chased them out of the wedding. Knowing how pissed she was with her family, Sakuzi had attempted to reconcile them during the wedding - but then she was too stubborn. Well, what was he expecting? That she welcomes them with open arms and then, they're good again and live happily ever after? Nope, that was a faraway dream.
Well, Reina has to see her, that's all that matters. They would probably talk, and Angela would ask for forgiveness and blah, blah, and -thankGod- she would be on her way home again.
The car suddenly jostled to a halt, rousing Reina from her thoughts, only for a look of shock to cross her face when she realized what almost happened.
Niklaus was just about to park his car in the hospital open-spaced garage when a figure darted out and would have hit him had he not braked on time.
"What the hell?!" Reina saw red, stepping out of the car to go give that idiot a piece of her mind only to stumble upon a child. He looked no fewer than four or five years and her heart instantly melted - she was a huge sucker for children.
"What are you doing here? You almost got yourself killed," she told the kid who was sprawled on the floor. He must have been shocked himself.
"Here, let me help you," she gave him a hand which the kid took and got up to his feet. Pulling him out of the way, Reina gestured to her husband to go on with the packing.
Once he was done, Niklaus stepped out of the car with a disapproving look. That kid was trouble, look what almost happened. Moreover, he wanted his wife away from the kid, why?
What if the kid turns out to be an orphan, he was a hundred percent sure his ever-loving wife would attempt to add him to the family and he knew inwardly, he wouldn't be able to refuse her.
When he had told Reina he wanted six children, he didn't mean fostering or adopting them, he meant their own - making babies was sweet.
"We should go, we have important things to do," He said disgruntled, still eyeing the kid. In fact with the way?Niklaus was glaring at him, the boy was becoming uncomfortable.
"Angela is not important, you know I'm just visiting for your sake. Also, I can't leave this child here all alone, that would be inconsiderate," she quickly added, "And I'm not saying you're without conscience," she patted him on the head and Niklaus melted like Jelly.
"Fine," He gave in after she captivated him as usual. And no, he wasn't a henpecked husband, he just loved Reina too much he indulged her in whatever she wanted.
"Where's your mother?"
"There," the child pointed to the hospital.
"You know the way?"
He nodded.
Reina was grateful the child could speak well. At the least, he was able to identify where he came from, and which means he often came here.
She began to wonder what could bring a child here since he didn't look sick. Could it be his mother or something? Well, that was none of her business, once she delivers the child, she would leave to go sort out her own problems.
"Alright, let's go," Reina took the child's hands, which was a mistake because Niklaus frowned down at the move.
"Oh, come on," Reina rolled her eyes, took his hand as well, and dragged him along.
However, as they walked on, she had a sudden suspicion as the kid led them to his supposed mom's room. He was going the exact way the receptionist had directed them to Angela's room. It just didn't make sense. Kim was not married or was she?
However, everything finally made sense when the door finally opened, and her sister, scratch that, her ex half-sister, Kimberly, swooped down on the kid and hugged him.
"Don't try that again!" Reina watched her scold her kid and as if she finally sensed her kid hadn't come alone, Kim finally glanced up and froze.
They meet once again.
"Maya…" Kim didn't know when that name escaped her lips. She was so shocked at seeing her - she never expected her to come.
A frown distorted Reina's face upon hearing that name. Did they still think she was that old submissive Maya?
With her head held up, Reina said to her, "You shouldn't have gone for a kid if you know you couldn't handle the workload that comes with it?"
"What?" Kim was confused.
"Niklaus almost knocked down your son,"
"Oh no," Kim went pale upon hearing what almost happened.
"Who knows? With your personality, you would have insisted I killed your son when it was all your carelessness," Reina said harshly.
She couldn't help but want to punish Kim a bit. They said what comes around goes around. Kim has had her fun maltreating her in the past, perhaps, this was the universe telling her that this was her turn to retaliate.
Revenge was not satisfying, people would say, but she - Reina - would enjoy every inch of this.
"No, I…" Kim faltered, unable to refute that accusation. Tommy was her only source of joy now, she would have probably done so.
"As much as I thought," Reina snorted.
Niklaus didn't say anything, he would let his wife have her full now and talk to her when they get back home. Besides, he was the one who convinced her to come, he'd have to take her the way she is.
"But don't worry, I'll keep my eyes on him well," Kim said to her as some sort of apology.
"You better do," Reina replied, shooting her a look of disdain.
Without even being invited in, Reina waltzed into the room like she owned the place; however, she froze in her footsteps as soon as her eyes laid on Angela.
How was this possible? Her lips trembled just as a sudden pain gripped her heart.
