"J-Jennifer.....I think we should talk once you get free from your parents.." Hannah answered with a half-smile, making Jennifer almost believe that there is something grave hidden from her. 

'What can it be that they all are so sacred to tell?' she couldn't help but feel the chills down her spines. 

However, at last, Jennifer ended up nodding her head at Hannah before she gazed back at her parents. 

"So, you want me to act as if nothing happened between me and Javier?'' Jennifer asked again, in the mood to confirm if she had taken his words into the same account. 

In represent, she got their vigorous nod, with a slight tinge of happiness that lingered around their eyes. "Yes..that's all we want for you.."

There was no doubt that they were trying to portray Javier as the villain, where she was a mere and innocent girl who was fooled by that gangster. 

If only she could literally accept this and let Javier be turned and pushed into a bad spotlight. 

'Who knows in what condition he is right there..' her heart was craving to learn about his state and his well-being. 

But knowingly, there was literally no one who would help her in the same. 

At last, Jennifer finally muttered to them,"I need some time...so please..." 

"Sure! Take all the time you want, but get yourself well prepared and keep in mind what we told you."

"If someone asks you anything, you should know what and how to speak." That was all that Amelia answered before she took the empty lunch box back with her. 

Jennifer's gaze never tear from her parents, who seemed to be acting too much of lovey-dovey with her, among her suspicions increasing. 

They all packed the remaining and left her ward, at least making Jennifer sigh in relief. 

"Finally.. I can get some peace with them not being here.." only she knew how big a headache her parents could be. 

But her friend didn't think the same.

Hannah kept her mouth sealed until her parents walked completely and they vanished out of their sight. 

Afterward, she instantly rushed to Jennifer's side when she pressed her in her embrace, "Oh Jennifer…you have no idea how much your heart ached after seeing everything…" 

"What do you mean to say, Hannah?" Jennifer knew that Hannah's fingers were shivering badly. Even compared to her, she needed comfort. 

But what could actually place such a deep impact on her mind? 

Firstly, Hannah was hesitant to blurt everything out. But then, Jennifer gave her an assured smile and asked her to sit by her side. "Calm down. I know that we are back once again, and sooner or later, I will have to face those demons…. This is the destiny of our life, isn't this so?" 

Jennifer laughed at her own words. Just a few days ago, she's the one, hoping and begging everyone to actually not separate her from her husband. 

And here she is today, telling Hannah that everything is a part of her life. Only if she would have agreed and found her brown statements contradictory. 

When Hannah came across to see the half-smile of Jennifer, it gave her the plague, "Do you seriously have no idea what actually happened when we landed here?"

"If I had, I won't have been this shocked to learn about everything. I  remember dozing off in the airplane when the doctor was treating my wound.." Jennifer recalled the last distant memory of her.

"So....you have no idea..." Hannah massaged her temples before she held Jennifer's hand into hers, "Jennifer, they are hiding many things from you." 

"Who?" Jennnifer bluntly asked when she saw the amount of seriousness that Hannah held. It was no joke being played since she knew her best friend better than anyone else but her. 

"Your parents. Who else there might be?" 

Hearing this, Jennifer's lips were pursed into a thin line. She had no words to express her own thoughts, knowing that they are surely playing as the puppet in the hands of Lucas. 

'They are surely blindfolded in front of the money and fame....to the extent that they are now selling their own daughter..' 

At the thought that instead of asking about her wellbeing, they had actually told her how to maintain the fake act in front of everyone. 

This was just an irony!

Jennifer didn't even assume anything at this point but to ask again, "Tell me. What happened? Did they say something to you?"

"It was Austin...who had warned me to not blurt out anything at you, about this Jennifer. But...as your best friend...I can't even keep this in my stomach. My heart will never let me die with this truth inside my brain." Hannah's grip tightened as her eyes were now filled with fresh tears. 

Her nose had turned absolute red, when Jennifer couldn't help but exclaim on seeing her best friend going through such a breakdown, from emotional turmoil. 

Extending her hand, she cupped her face for her left hand to blink her eyes twice,"You are a strong person, Hannah.."

"But what I'm going to tell you, Jennnifer....this will blow your mind..I don't know how you will handle it but..." there were no words to explain how badly she felt. 

Even Jennifer realized that this was as grave as death, as she earlier thought. 

"I have the power. Tell me, straightforwardly, Hannah.." Jennifer gave her assurance that she won't break down, only if she knew the amount of heartbreaking news was supposed to be delivered to her. 

Initially, Hannah kept her head down, as she had no courage to lift her eyelids anymore to face her best friend. 

It gave her immense pain in her chest, the amount was almost unbearable. Jennifer simply noted her expressions, as her expressions also twisted.

But at last, she finally muttered in her breath. "You had a miscarriage, Jennifer..."
