After spending an impromptu honeymoon with his wife. Now, Nicholas is again preoccupied with the affairs of the office that piled up. Many agendas must be done this time, ranging from meetings with the staff to the business of launching new products in the field of jewelry with Damien.
Nich was sitting with Damien in his room startled by the ringing of a cell phone. He grabbed that flat thing out of his pocket. Nam Jane is on the screen.
What's this fucking woman calling me?
With Nich lazily raising the call, who knows this is important. He had not yet spoken, the woman had already first spoken her meaning. "Your wife is in bad shape right now. Find him soon! Don't let anything bad happen!"
"What?!" The surprised Nich stood up from his position. However, the woman had already turned off the call without waiting for her answer, leaving the man cursing in annoyance. "Damn!"
"Did something happen, Nich?"
Since Nich has officially become his sister-in-law, he did ask Damien to call names only and do not need frills master. They belong to a family that has the same goal.
"Something's going on with Jessi." Nich fiddled with the phone in his hand to find his wife's location through the GPS he had installed on Jessi's necklace. "I'll go first."
"I'm coming along."
Nich walked out of the room worriedly while looking at the direction his wife was going. They arrive at the parking lot to drive their own cars. "You go straight to the Light residence! Let me catch up with Jessi!"
Damien just nodded. "If anything happens, call me!"
They move out of the Bannerick building towards their respective destination locations. Anxious feeling made Nich drive his car at high speed. Heavy rain, plus thunder, and thunder that boomed he penetrated to find his wife.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Nich was constantly staring at the screen of his phone, the pace of the red dot on the flat object made it even more unfounded. It was raining this hard, but his wife drove the vehicle at high speed. What if something happens later?
Nich is stepping on his gas pedal. No matter the red lights that block the speed of the car still break through quickly without caring about its own safety. After a while, he caught up with Jessi.
The woman drove the motor at high speed in the midst of the swift rain. Nich opens the windshield to talk to Jessi.
"Darling, danger. Just stop! We go home together!" Nich's screams are ignored by his wife, leading the man to take a shortcut. He drove his car faster in front of Jessi, then got in the car and got out of there.
Soon Jessi stepped on the brakes before she hit Nich who was already standing just a few meters in front of her. "Are you crazy, huh?!"
After Jessi's iron horse stops, Nich takes the woman's key and puts it in her pocket. "You're crazy, Sweety! Do you know, heavy rain is like very dangerous if you ride the bike at that speed?"
Jessi took off her helmet. His swollen eyes could not be covered even though the torrent of rain had soaked his face. Nich approached and hugged his chaotic wife. She sobbed on her husband's chest to make his body shake.
"Why, Nich? Why is everyone a victim of what happened to my family?" Jessi poured out everything she felt to her husband. Tightness in the chest due to guilt makes the woman recklessly penetrate the swift rain this time.
"Ssttt, relax, baby! This isn't all your fault. No one wants anything bad to happen to their family, including you." Nich rubbed Jessi's back gently.
"Now we go home in my car, yeah! Your bike let's take the others later." Jessi nodded obediently. He himself was no longer able to drive his iron horse.
Nich asked Jessi to get into the seat next to the wheel, put the seat belt on and gently kissed his wife's cold forehead. Then, he turned towards his own seat, took the towel available in the back seat and gave it to his wife. "Fast your body, baby! You'll catch a cold."
Jessi smiled at Nich, and received the towel. "Thank you."
The man just nodded. Soon Nich started the engine again, set the temperature inside to become warmer, and moved towards the Light residence.
Along the way Jessi kept staring at the glass. Waving far out of his sight. Anxiety begins to haunt him, the confidence to conquer the enemy disappears to nowhere. Eventually, the woman began to open her mouth. "Nich, should I just stop this investigation?"
"Why do you think that, Sweety?" At first glance Nich looked at the wife on the sidelines of her focus on the road. Jessi looked so messy this time, making her feel sad.
"Patricia had to lose her real father as a result of investigating my family's case, Jackson also became a kara because his father was a detective hired by Uncle Alex." Jessi paused the sentence she said for a moment, breathing deep air to neutralize her feelings.
"Do you think it's appropriate that I ask them to re-investigate the case?" Lirih Jessi spoke, her voice sounded raspy due to the rain earlier, and her eyes were still streaming warm circles that came out without being asked on her beautiful face.
Nich rubbed the tears gently with one hand. "It's not all your fault, Sweety. Patricia and Jackson also deserve to know why your family's enemies are so afraid that others are looking for the facts of your biological parents' deaths." He said gently, trying to give his wife some understanding so as not to blame herself for what is happening right now.
"But, they can also be the next victims if I re-investigate." Jessi turned to look at her husband, hoping to hear an answer that made her sure of her decision.
However, the man instead smiled gently and ruffled his messy hair. "You can give them a choice, Sweety. Do Patricia and Jackson want to continue or stop? Let them make the decision!"
Jessi nodded obediently. Nich was right this time, he couldn't possibly order them to re-investigate the Alexander family case if indeed Patricia and Jackson didn't want to.
"If you stop your investigation. Let me take over for you, honey!" Nich smiled softly as he said that.
He hoped that his wife would not be too burdened by this problem. Even if Jessi allows it, Nich has been looking into the matter for a long time. However, the woman was the one who did not like her affairs being bullied, making the man could only watch from a distance how they were progressing.
Heavy rain and thunderous lightning had unceasingly rumbled since earlier. There's no sign of any of this coming to an end until the rainbow. Only the dark clouds and the cold now enveloped. This makes the driver's visibility limited. Nich can only drive his vehicle at moderate speed. After all, his wife still needs time to calm down.
"I'm scared, Nich. I'm afraid they're gonna take something precious out of my life again." Jessi looked outwards. All possibilities raged in his mind. Either disappear to where the confidence to face the problems he had so far.
"Calm down! Everything's gonna be okay, honey."
It was just a simple word that came out of Nich's lips. However, somehow, it managed to make Jessi feel better.
Is this what it feels like to have a husband as a place to share? Why couldn't Brian be like this? Should I thank you for betraying me? Without you, now I find a better man than you. Goodbye to the past, and thank you my husband Nicholas.
