CHAPTER 65☆66
♡´･ᴗ･`♡ SHOCKED 3 ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
The sound of water streaming down could be heard from the bathroom as Jerome was in there, having a cool shower.
He’s been in here for close to thirty minutes, and is yet to go pick Desiree from his mom’s place, even though he has told her that he is on his way already.
He just wants to be alone with no one at all, even if it’s just for thirty minutes or an hour.
His head is too heavy and needs an alone time.
He’s literally still trying to get himself back from everything, especially the news of Nora’s dad, and the part where they are leaving the country tomorrow.
God knows if not for Janella, he would have matched to his house already, and anything that happens afterwards, happens.
And there’s something he’s been contemplating on whether to tell Janella or not. Though it’s something he doesn’t always want to talk about, because it brings great pain to his heart each time he talks about it.
But he thinks it would be good if Janella knows about it, since they are trying to build a good and healthy relationship with no secrets and lies, no matter what that lie or secret might be.
“Hmmm” Jerome exhaled deeply, running his fingers that aren’t injured through his hair, as the cold water cascaded down his body.
He suddenly stopped making any reflexes, and just stood still under the shower, whilst the water kept pouring down on him, cooly.
“Where did I go wrong?” He suddenly uttered out, asking no one in particular.
He raised his head up, and the water began to stream down on his face, staying that way for few seconds before putting his head down.
Jerome got out of the bathroom after spending few more minutes inside.
Drying his body and doing other necessary things, he walked to his closet to pick a shirt to wear on, ready to go pick Desiree up after deciding to do so at last.
But while he did so, one of his phones began to ring.
He slugishly walked to his bed side lamp to pick it up where he had dropped it with the other ones, but he immediately grabbed the phone when he saw that it was “Starshine” that was on the screen, which he saved with a red heart attached to it.
“Hey, Baby” He said immediately he picked, but it was someone else’s voice he heard instead.
“The f*ck! What?!!” Jerome exclaimed in utter disbelief, after hearing what the person said.
“Okay, I will be there right away. Sh|t….Sh|t….Sh|t!!” He cussed, ruffling his hair madly. He rushed back to his closet and he picked up wh@tëver his hand could grab, and then he zoomed out of his room in a flash.
°°° AT THE HOSPITAL °°°FEW MINUTES LATER～☆
Jerome who has just been directed by a nurse to where Janella’s ward is, rushed into it crazily, with his uneven shirt that he just finished buttoning up in a haste.
“Janella!” He called. Although, Janella was still unconcious, but Big Momma and Abbey were there.
He instantly took Janella’s hand that had no drip on, and began to kiss the back of it softly, rubbing it worriedly afterwards.
“Good afternoon, ma” He greeted, when he finally noticed that there was an elderly woman sitting beside Janella.
“Good afternoon, my dear” Big Momma let out a sád smile.
“You must be her grandmother” He said, Janella’s hand still in his, as he continued to rub it, soothingly. “And….Abbey, right?” He then turned to Abbey and asked, after seeing the little resemblance, though Janella had already told him a lot about them.
However, Abbey nodded, but she was shocked that Jerome knows her already even though they are just meeting for the first time.
Big Momma and Abbey already knew he was Janella’s boyfriend, judging from the message Abbey read from him that later came in, and with “Babes” that Janella saved his name as.
That was how they were able to reach him anyway.
“Don’t worry, she’s fine” Big Momma told him, and his heart was calm a bit.
“What really happened?” Jerome couldn’t help but to ask. Because he still couldn’t understand how the same Janella that was with him barely one hour ago, just passed out, and now in the hospital. Hmm!
Anyway, Big Momma and Abbey sighed at the same time.
Abbey’s eyes were even still wet with tears. She wasn’t just shedding tears because Janella became unconscious, but also because of the shocking news.
Janella had two babies? Like, twins? And they are alive?
If she’s not forgetting or misunderstanding something. According to what she overheard her dad telling her mom some weeks ago, was that Janella’s baby dìed the moment it was born.
If they are truly alive like the message said, why then did they lie to her that the baby was one, and that he dìed?
F*cking why?!
For what reason exactly?
While thinking about these, and asking herself those questions. She turned to look at her sister pitifully, and could only imagine what she has, and apparently still going through.
Although, Jerome already knew about this Janella’s baby thing and all that, but Big Momma still told him what actually caused her to pass out, and Jerome couldn’t believe his ears.
Someone has definitely got to be kidding him.
What?!
He was still trying to process what he just heard, when Doctor Derek walked in.
Yeah. It’s the same hospital they brought her. Even Doctor Derek himself was surprised at who was brought in.
He went straight to her drip and checked how down it has gone so far.
He then smiled and turned to face them.
“She’s alright, you don’t have to worry about anything, she’s perfectly fine. She just got a temporary brain freeze due to wh@tëver it is that she heard. But she’s okay now” The Doctor said, and they all sighed out in relief.
“She can even go home right now if she wakes up, but she has to wait for all the drip to get into her body and do its work, anyway. I also noticed that she’s been stressing herself a lot, and hasn’t been having enough rest” He continued, and they all turned to look at each other. Jerome especially, was feeling guilty about this. She has truly been stressing herself because of him, and he knows that quite well.
He sighed again, and looked at Janella who was still sleeping, peacefully.
He lowered his head and planted a tender kiss on her forehead, then on her hand again which he was still holding.
“Please make sure she has enough rest and doesn’t stress herself too much again” The Doctor said again, and they all nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, someone was by the door listening to their conversation. The door was slightly left opened, so she could hear everything they were discussing.
“Can I have her phone?” Jerome asked Abbey who was holding Janella’s phone. “Or you can send me the number that sent that message to her” He said instead, and Abbey nodded immediately, opening Janella’s message box, after which she sent Jerome the message.
Jerome excused himself and went out afterwards.
“I’m so sorry, sis. Deeply, deeply sorry” Abbey sniffled, fidgeting with her sister’s fingers.
“My poor child” Big Momma sighed, bending her head low, soberly. “When will all this stop for you to be happy and have peace of mind? Just when? Oh Lord!” Big Momma couldn’t do anything else but just kept sighing, and sighing.
°°°
“Hey, dude” Jerome said over the phone, the moment Brien picked.
“Hey, man, what’s up?” Brien asked.
“A lot, but I can’t talk much right now. I have something you need to do for me. Are you busy?” Jerome asked, walking from one end to the other, whilst ruffling his hair, restlessly.
“Not really. What do you want me to do, bro?” Brien asked immediately.
“I need you to track a certain number for me, please. But I will send you the address of where you need to come and do that. Just bring your laptop with you, please” Jerome said.
“Okay, dude. Just send the address and I’ll be there in no time” Brien answered after which the call ended.
Brien is actually a computer wizard, and he’s very good at tracking information, numbers, location and anything trackable.
°°° BIG MOMMA’S HOME °°° LATER ON ～☆
“What’s up, man? Have you gotten the location yet?” Jerome turned to Brien and asked for the umpteenth time. Brien is sitted at a corner, doing the tracking.
Fred can be seen sitting near Brien too. He had to come too, because Jerome also called him to help out.
Though he’s not so good like Brien.
Anyway, Brien has been on this since they got back from the hospital with Janella, and has finally succeeded in getting the location of the person.
“Yeah. But the location is close by. I think whoever has the contact lives around this area” Brien told Jerome.
“Wait, for real?” Jerome asked with happiness in his tone. Abbey and Big Momma looked at each other and smiled immediately.
“So?” Jerome then asked.
“So….wait! The person is getting closer and closer to….us?” Brien asked in surprise instead, when he noticed that the red beepping light showing the location of the person, was actually moving and getting closer to Big Momma’s house.
“Huh? Are you serious?” Jerome asked in wonder.
“Yeah…..and the person is still walking towards….
~Ding Dong ~
They all suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Abbey and Big Momma immediately looked at each other, Jerome wasn’t left out.
Abbey then got up immediately and went for the door without wasting a second.
Opening the door, Jerome was surprised at who he saw again, just like earlier at the hospital.
“Mrs. Angela….?” Jerome called, the moment Nurse Angela walked in.
All eyes were now on the person who just walked into the house.
“Is everything okay? What are you….doing here”? Jerome asked, confused, and surprised at the same time.
Janella is already awake, leaning on Jerome’s shoulder, slowly eating her food as instructed by the Doctor. Though she’s eating the food by force, because she’s still not herself and doesn’t feel like having anything in her mouth, not even water.
And she’s been sobbing since she woke up. The shock, the news and everything is still playing in her head like it is happening over and over again, giving her a serious headache.
She doesn’t want anything else right now, but to know who sent that message, confirm that her babies are truly alive. And if they are alive, then she wants to see them right now!
However, the moment she saw Nurse Angela, she gently raised her head off Jerome’s shoulder, and began to frown, sniffling and trying to wipe her tears.
“This Nurse again? What the hell is going on… What exactly is up with her?” Janella began to question herself inwardly.
“Ah!” She winced, holding her head as it began to give her a big bang again.
“Easy…. Easy please, stop stressing it” Jerome said, and gently put her head back on his shoulder, turning to face Nurse Angela again.
Big Momma and the rest were totally lost, even Brien who was tracking her number. They just kept looking at each other, confusedly.
“Actually, I am here because of her” Nurse Angela finally uttered out something, her eyes focusing only on Janella.
“Huh?” Jerome slowly turned and looked at Janella, then back at Nurse Angela.
“Here because of her? Why? What what is the matter?” Jerome asked curiously, and everyone nodded in support of the questions he just asked Nurse Angela.
“The message she recieved was actually….sent by me” Nurse Angela confessed, and everyone’s eyes and mouth widened in total dismay, Janella’s own were the widest.
She instantly stood up from the couch where she was sitting, her brows furrowed in utter disbelief. But Jerome immediately sat her back down though.
“I will handle this, Janella, please just sit and stop stressing yourself” Jerome begged.
“No! I can’t sit, JJ….I can’t!” Janella shook her head vehemently, and the tears increased.
“I want to know the truth. I want to know if my babi….babies….” The words began to hang again as she couldn’t say them out because she was crying and her emotions were getting the better part of her.
“Sh|t!” Jerome shot his eyes tight, pinching the bridge of his nose as those tears of hers were kìlling him because he could literally feel her pain too.
He immediately hugged her, making her bury her face on his chest, whilst she sobbed bitterly.
“Sis, you have to calm down and listen to what she has to say. I believe she’s here for a reason, and that reason must be related to the answer we are looking for” Abbey spoke calmly. Though Janella still didn’t stop sobbing.
“Your sister is right, Janella, you have to be calm” Big Momma spoke too, and Jerome could only rub her back softly, trying to calm her.
Fred and Brien on the other hand, were as confused as anything, because the only thing they were told, was that they should help track a certain number.
Nurse Angela was actually the one eavesdropping on them, back at the hospital.
“I knew the news was going to take a great toll on you, and I’m sorry” Nurse Angela started slowly. “I didn’t know how to tell you this in a way that wouldn’t result to what it actually did result to. That was one of the reasons I had been finding it difficult to tell you, ever since I met you again at the hospital again. I have been so restless because of this, and I’ve actually been looking for you all these years. I’m glad fate brought me to you again” She continued, and Janella who was still sobbing lowly, raised her head and frowned, staring at Nurse Angela confusedly.
What does she mean by “we met again”? Have they both met before?
Even Big Momma frowned too, likewise Jerome who immediately looked at Janella.
“I know you can’t remember me. You can’t even remember me at all because you never actually met me, until that first day you saw me at the hospital” She took a deep breath, and exhaled deeply.
“Please before I continue, promise you’re going to forgive me first, and that you’ll protect me, because my life is in great danger as I speak” She then said, and they all looked at each other.
Great danger? Why?
“Hmmm!” Impatient Big Momma sighed out, clasping her hands together.
“Just go ahead please. Your life is safe as long as you tell us what we want to hear” Jerome spoke, seriously.
Nurse Angela breathed out in both relief and fear.
“Your kids are alive, they never dîed” She repeated the same thing she sent Janella.
Janella’s breath instantly hitched, and Jerome began to rub her back again. “Calm down and take it easy, Baby” He told her, and she nodded, hugging him tightly, while resting her head on his chest.
“I….someone paid and orderd for your baby/babies to be kîlled once born, and I was the one to carry out the job. I was desperate and needed money for my husband’s surgery which I didn’t have, though he still didn’t survive. I’m deeply sorry” She started, and Janella burst into cry.
“Oh Sh|t!!” Jerome sucked in air and ruffled his hair madly, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“My poor sister” Abbey couldn’t hold it too, and Big Momma who was actually there at the hospital on the day Janella was in labour and all that, became restless and began to walk from one end of the living room to another. Her hand on her mouth, covering it as she tries not to burst out crying out too, but tears were sure rushing down.
What the hell did they just hear? Someone paid them to kill Janella’s child? Why would anyone do that?
What wrong did she do?
This is so d@mn confusing….Sh|t!!
“I couldn’t do it, so I had to find a way to save the babies, and thankfully I did. I had to stop working in that hospital because of that”
“I took the second baby to the orphanage, while I kept the first one with me, and stayed low key till everything was a bit calm”….
“Wait, wait, wait….Mrs. Angela” Jerome stopped her from saying more.
“Who is this person who paid you to do such a cruel thing?” Jerome asked.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jerome, but I honestly don’t know who those people are. I only knew them because of the job given to me” Nurse Angela told him plainly.
“Are? So they are two?” Big Momma summoned the courage and asked.
“Yes two, a lady and a guy”
“Dammit!!” Jerome slapped his forehead, and Janella just kept crying.
Jerome quiclky kissed her to stop her from crying, but nothing worked, so he just went back to rubbing her back.
“You said the first twin is with you, and the second one at orphanage, right?” Abbey was the one who spoke this time.
“Not exactly. I had to take the first one that had been with me all these years to the orphanage also, when I started getting threat messages from those people. They’ve sensed that I am hiding something, so I had to take the first twin there for safety” Nurse Angela explained.
“And the first one was still at the orphanage, but no….”
“Was? Don’t even say it, don’t!! What happened to my baby? Just tell me nothing happened to my baby, Oh Lord! What is all this?!!” Janella held Nurse Angela, and began to shake her.
“Say it!” Janella yelled, but Jerome held her back immediately.
“Don’t cry please, nothing happened to her. I was told that she was adopted, but she’s in good hands” Nurse Angela spoke, and Janella frowned hard.
“She? Adopted? By who?” Janella asked, amidst cries….
“I….I….don’t know….
