Chapter 120

Angela’s POV

After what Mason told me, my spirit went down and I suddenly felt cold. He’d left minutes ago and I’d returned to the house to find Reina staring into space. I asked her what went wrong and she said, someone or something was hurt. I asked her what it was and she told me I smelled different.

She went back to her toys and continued staking them up. She didn’t bother telling me more or even sparing me a glance.

I returned to Brittany’s room that I had been using and laid on the bed. Each time Mason’s words came back to me, I would take a deep breath and pull at my hair. How was I supposed to help Krina when I was as clueless as a goldfish?

I didn’t even know what gift she had until a few days ago. Now, we have to keep it a secret and make Reina keep it a secret as well. The thought of asking Reina to do such a thing made me sick. Won’t it be too much of a burden for a child? She was just six

years old!

As I made up my mind to talk to her tomorrow instead of avoiding the conversation, the door opened and Halle peeped in

“Reina said I find you here,”

“Are you okay?” She asked gently. I shook my head.

“I have a banging headache and my chest feels tight,”

She sighed. “As a doctor, I should prescribe some drugs and recommend some tests to rule out migraine and heart attack.” I almost interrupted ber. “but as an old or former friend, I’ll prescribe this,”

She opened the door wide and revealed a bottle of alcohol.

“I’ve heard it helps with heartbreaks, headaches, and sadness as well,”

I laughed. That scenario brought back memories, When we were still in high school, I would sneak alcohol from my dad and take it to school. We would stop at Halle’s house instead of guing home after classes and get drunk. Hours later, I would be finding a way to get rid of the smell so my mom wouldn’t know I’d been drinking

“Good old days,”

“Good old days,”

We both reflected at the same time. We laughed

‘Come in,”

“Thank you,” she walked in with two plastic cups as well and gave me one.

She opened the bottle and poured us some drink. I took a sip. The taste made me realize it’s been a while since I took alcohol. At first, I couldn’t drink because I was pregnant and then, I couldn’t drink because I was breastfeeding and then, I couldn’t drink because it was only Reina and I, and I couldn’t risk getting drunk and letting her out of my sight.
