Chapter 21- A slap?!
'Why... WHY?!' Jenny's eyes flickered with visible irritation and shock. After arriving at the entrance of the hospital, she glanced toward the fleet of cars—awestruck—before her gaze finally landed on the Rolls Royce.
From it stepped a woman, and the moment Jenny saw those familiar emerald eyes and flowing black hair, her breath caught.
It was unmistakable—her stepsister.
And the confident way she carried herself made Jenny feel something churn inside her like melting butter.
"Th-Thalia?!" Her voice escaped in a sharp gasp that somehow reached Thalia's ears despite the murmurs of the crowd gathered outside the hospital. As if drawn by instinct, Thalia's eyes snapped toward her.
"...You bitc—" Jenny's lips had barely parted when her eyes widened.
Thalia was already moving—sprinting straight at her.
In two bounds, she closed the distance and swung her hand with such force and speed that Jenny's pupils could barely track it, but her body was too slow to react.
SLAP!
GASP.
Shock rippled through the onlookers—doctors, nurses, patients—and most of all, Jake, who stood right beside Jenny.
