Chapter 35 He Is A Monster!!
Jasmine paused for a while, remembering a few nights ago when she heard Kingsley whimpering in the middle of the night. She stood close to his door as he cried as if he was in pain. As if his heart was being pulled out of his chest.
Now, she couldn’t help but think this was the same case happening. Before she could question him, Kingsley beat her to it.
"You called, want to talk to me about something?" He slowly picked up his words, his head resting on the edge of his bed, his legs were spread on the cold floor, and the phone was on his left thigh, the call was on hand-free mode.
His eyes were tightly shut, scared that if he opened them, he would be met with the scene of him killing his parents, and stabbing his mom again and again. Too afraid, he kept his eyes shut throughout the whole conversation, and the effect of the medicine slowly kicked in.
Remembering the reason she had called, Jasmine quickly took it to the back of her head and she said instead. "Oh no—I mean, yes. I called to inform you that I’ll be sleeping over at Nicole’s apartment, I won’t return home tonight."
A little disappointed, Kingsley muttered. "Ohh."
Jasmine sensed the slight pain in his voice and she wondered if she had heard wrong or if she was the one reading too much meaning to his tone.
"Yeah, Nicole extends her heartfelt gratitude for purchasing the house for her."
"It’s no problem, have fun tonight with your friend but don’t have too much fun," Kingsley mumbled, growing tired by each passing second but he tried to sound alright when all he wanted to do at the moment was crash on the floor and never wake up...till forever.
"Of course, I will follow the diet plans and take my drugs on time," Jasmine said, her mind envisioning Kingsley’s face when lecturing her on how to take care of herself.
’He doesn’t even care for himself.’ Jasmine whispered in her head.
