She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 242 - DEATH IS INEVITABLE

After waiting for another half an hour, a woman came to them and bowed in apology. "Mr. Dumrique, I'm sorry for letting you wait for so long."

"So, where's Mr. Sy?"

"Regarding that, our Chairman received an emergency call earlier and left the country for immediate response. He just remembered the booked appointment with you. He called me to book your meeting for another day."

"That's fine. I really need to talk to him. Can I ask when he'd be back?"

"He'll come back after three days." The secretary responded, still bowing her head in front of them. "This is the time for the rescheduled appointment." She sent them an email and Chris received it right away. It came from a different email address than the one he contacted before.

"Pardon my question but, are you really his secretary?" Chris asked after receiving the email.

"Yes. I'm one of his secretaries. Although our Chairman has one all-around secretary with him. You might have contacted him before."

"Oh." Chris didn't pursue the topic and just closed his tablet.

"We'll come back in three days time." Stefan stood up, followed by Chris; and the two of them left the visitor's lounge. PH was one of the Seiji's business turf and Stefan believe that the man was in PH which was why he took interest with the park. "But why now?"

"Sir?" Chris asked Stefan because he didn't get what he meant.

"I was wondering why he likes the park now. He never took interest in this business before and we never crossed each other's path. So, why is he provoking by doing all these?"

"You will get your answer when you meet him. I just hope there won't be any other emergency after three days."

"Did you think he was making excuses?" Stefan asked Chris. He was already doubting the man and now that Chris mentioned something like this, his suspicions grew. He had no idea that Seiji was not in PH but was in City A; currently making his way towards Cayenne.

Cayenne was currently sitting in her mother's bed with tears pooling in her eyes. She just finished cleaning and was horrified with what she found out. Under Emerald's bed were bloodied clothes. The were so many of them, justifying the fact that her mother had been in critical condition. But because she was so caught up with her work and relationship, she never noticed this.

She regretted it so much. She never thought that time would make her realize how she neglected her own mother. The pain of losing her mother overwhelmed her again, making her cry in silence.

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

The door to her mother's room was knocked twice and Luiz came in with Jasmine following behind him. "Yen, I'm really sorry for letting you down." Jasmine stated. His face which was always covered with make up was now bare and looked depressed.

Cayenne took hold of his hand and squeezed it. "I'm not blaming you. In fact, I'm thankful with what you have done for my mother. I have neglected her and focused on myself. You were there for me in my stead. You were more like her daughter than me." She wanted to smile but the more she forced herself to smile, the more tears fell on Jasmine's hands that she was holding. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen. I want my mother. I still need her."

Jasmine, although he's a man, he's got a woman's heart. He pulled Cayenne in his arms and rubbed her back in an attempt to comfort her. But Cayenne was so hurt with her reality. She couldn't even forgive herself for what happened to her mother. "Don't blame yourself. Your mother would never want you to blame yourself."

He pushed her by her shoulders and looked Cayenne in the eyes. "Yen, your mother didn't die angry or upset. In truth, she was happy before she died. When I spent time with her, she would always talk to me about you. She would tell me how kind you are, how caring you are and how resourceful you are. She was very proud of you. And she was happier when she knew that you found someone you love and who can love you back. She told me that she will die happy because she knew that you're in good hands."

"But I haven't told her about my marriage yet. I still have so many things I wanted to say to her." Cayenne retorted with grievances. "I still wanted her to attend my wedding."

"Yen, death is inevitable for all of us. Your mother just happened to leave us early because she's got an illness. Even so, I believed that she would still look over you guys and protect you from harm." He turned to Luiz and smiled at the young man. "You have to study hard. Show your mom that you will grow and become a smart and kind person. Show her that you will always be with your sister because she only wished for you guys to be together in all circumstances."

Jasmine spent time comforting and talking to the two of them. It's the least he can do for them.

Because of what he said, Cayenne and Luiz finally calmed down and continued to do what they must do. Kyle also finished all the procedure and had sent them a message that their mother's body will be sent to a funeral home in the afternoon. Kyle already told Kath about it and also called the university to ask for leave.

Luiz had already told his school about his family matter and they offered condolences to him. They sent him alms that his classmates and schoolmates gathered together to provide him some financial help.

'Stefan, if you're not busy, can you give me a call. If you are doing something, it's fine. Just finish what you have to do and come back home.'

Stefan needed to stay for three more days and he was planning to give Cayenne a surprise as soon as he comes back so, he didn't reply to her message or call her this time.

He has no idea that this negligence will cost him his wife.
