Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 466 Reina, It's Time to Go Home

The more Sally spoke, the softer her voice became. In the end, she was still afraid of Jaylon. Before Sally finished

speaking, she hurriedly left.

After Sally left, Reina looked at Jaylon. "Thank you."

If not for Jaylon just now, who knew how long Sally would have been fussing around here?

Jaylon lightly responded. Just as he was about to say something, Reina's phone rang.

The caller was from Boston. Reina picked up the call and heard a young man's voice on the phone.

Jaylon couldn't hear what the person on the phone said to Reina. He only saw her dull expression.

A few minutes later, the call ended.

Jaylon asked, "Who's that?"

Judging from Reina's current state, the conversation did not seem to be anything pleasant.

Reina said, "Someone working in the prison told me that my mother died in the prison tonight.

"They asked me to go back and get some paperwork done."

Jaylon's eyes flashed, and his voice was very soft. "Reina."

"Huh?"

Reina responded. Jaylon's warm fingers landed on her right cheek.

The cold tears formed a sharp contrast with the hot temperature of Jaylon's fingertips. Only then did Reina realize

that her tears were all over her face. Reina hated Lacey.

Because of Lacey, Reina's life suffered countless hardships.

But when Reina heard the news of Lacey's death, Reina still could not suppress the pain.

"I will arrange for someone to send us back now." Jaylon's face was tense.

Jaylon took out his phone. Before he could dial the number, Reina held his hand. She lowered her eyelids and tried

her best to suppress her trembling voice, saying, "Forget it.

"My grandmother is still alive. Let her go through the formalities.

"I don't care whether that woman is dead or not."

Jaylon stared at Reina, calm and deep as if he could see through her. "Lacey's the only family you have."

Reina lowered her head and said in a low voice, "She is not."

Reina had already decided to cut off her relationship with Lacey a long time

ago. Now, she and Lacey were just two strangers.

Jaylon grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her into his arms. His voice was deep and soft. "Reina, don't do this to

yourself.

"Or you will regret it.

"No matter how bad Lacey is, she is still your mother. You should go back and see her."

Jaylon did not care about how Lacey was doing, but he did not want Reina to be sad.

Reina was silent in his arms for a long time. Finally, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Can we set off now?"

Jaylon's low and steady voice sounded above Reina's head. "Anytime you want."

On the flight back to America, Reina had been quiet.

Jaylon didn't disturb her and asked someone to find out the cause of Lacey's death.

According to the prison guard, Lacey was pushed down by someone during activity time, and the back of her head

hit a sharp object.

The woman who had killed Lacey was someone Lacey had met when she was outside.

It was said that Lacey had previously sold illegal goods and had made this woman the scapegoat.

Not long ago, Lacey had been in prison, and this woman had quarreled with her many times. Today, the woman

couldn't hold back and killed her by

accident.

After returning to Boston, Reina went to the hospital's morgue to claim

Lacey's body.

When Lacey was alive, everyone left her. After she died, other than Reina,

no one came to see her.

Reina did not throw Lacey a funeral. Reina just asked the worker to cremate Lacey's body, and then she buried

Lacey, the simplest procedure a

dead person could get.

During the entire process, Jaylon followed Reina closely and helped her

with Lacey's funeral.

For the past few days, Reina did not shed a single tear. She just did

everything woodenly.

It was said that when one was sad to the extreme, one would not be able to

cry.

Reina was probably like this.

On the day of the burial, the sun was as warm and dazzling as the previous

years.

However, no matter how warm the light was, it could not shine into the cold and silent cemetery, and it could not

dispel the haze that had been lingering in the hearts of people for the past few days.

In the past days when Reina had a conflict with Lacey, Reina prayed every

day that Lacey could leave her forever.

Now that Lacey had really left, Reina's heart seemed to have cracked a

hole. It was empty, distant, and lonely.

It was like an almost dying tree had been uprooted.

From then on, there was no place to return.

Reina stood in place for a long time.

When the sky turned dark, Jaylon's wide palm held her hand tightly. He said,

"Reina, it's time to go home."

When she heard the word "home", Reina suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

She lowered her head, asking, "How can I still have a home?"

Reina had been holding back her feelings for a few days, but in the end, her

emotions still exploded.

She had once seen her father's bright eyes turn deathly black.

Now, Reina had the same experience as her mother.

Reina had sent her father to be buried and now her mother.

She had fought for two years, but in the end, she had failed to keep things

around, both she favored and hated.

Jaylon hugged her tightly from behind and said in a low voice, "You still

have me and the child.

"I can give you a home."

Jaylon had heard most of the conversation between Sally and Reina last

time. Naturally, he also heard that Sally disliked Reina as a pregnant

woman.

Jaylon originally wanted to directly talk to Reina that day, but after what

happened to Lacey, he did not want to pressure her anymore, so he held it

and did not say anything.

Reina turned around and looked up at him.

Her vision was blurry, and she could only vaguely see the outline of his face.

Reina's voice was hoarse as she said, "But I don't want..."

Before she could finish, Jaylon pressed his index finger against her lips and looked down at her, saying, "Don't make

up your mind so quickly.

"You always say that you hate Lacey, but the truth is, you can't let her go at

all.

"Think about it seriously. What are you thinking about me?

"Think about it. If I die like Lacey..."

"Impossible," Reina interrupted Jaylon's assumption. "You have good skills,

and there are so many people protecting you. You can't be in trouble."

Jaylon looked straight at Reina with his deep, black eyes. He said, "You don't want anything to happen to me?" Reina

replied, "I am just stating the facts."

Jaylon looked away and said lightly, "Come back with me. I will get someone to prepare dinner."

Reina refused, "I'll go back and eat by myself."

She had been living in a motel for the past few days, and she usually ate

with the owner and his family.

Reina turned to leave, but Jaylon bent down and directly picked her up. He said with no room for resistance, "Come

home with me."

Reina did not eat much these days, and her body and mind were in a state

of exhaustion.

Reina struggled a few times, like a soft balloon. She said, "Jaylon, you said that you would not force me again."

"Special circumstances, special treatment."

Reina no longer did useless work and closed her eyes in silence.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when they returned to the villa.

Jaylon carried Reina through the door and noticed a woman sitting on the sofa in the living room.

A maid came over, saying, "Mr. Malpas, I was just about to call you to say

that Ms. Dutt is here."

The maid seemed to be worried that Jaylon would blame her. She was a

little nervous when she spoke.

Jaylon suggested the maid leave first. He carefully put Reina back on the ground and led her to Anaya.
