She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 395 - SAVED BY SHEIN

They stayed in the living room and this time, Cayenne started to relax because they're all girls and she can freely express herself around them.

"I'm glad that you've decided to finish your study." Jillyanna commented while taking a seat on one of the couches around. Riley didn't bother sitting on the couch and chose to sit on the carpet instead.

"It was Stefan's idea. I told him that I want to have a child but he didn't want and asked me to finish my degree instead while waiting for the time."

"No wonder you're friends with Jill." Savannah replied with faint chuckles. "A year ago, she also wanted to have a child so desperately. She was at your age. And now, she ended up to where she is now."

"How did you achieve your goal?" Cayenne asked in curiosity but they laughed. It made her even more curious.

"I didn't achieve my goal." Jillyanna stated with a grimace on her face. Looking back to the past, she really didn't know what to feel about it anymore. "I was planning to have a baby and ran away. I wanted to leave the country and be a single mother. I wanted to just live my life with myself and the baby." Nevertheless, she's thankful of how things turned out.

"You didn't want Travis to take responsibility for it?"

"Oh please, I didn't even want any man in my life to begin with. I only wanted a child. Any man will do and then, it just happens to be him. And then all the storms and typhoons in my life happened."

Cayenne smiled with how Jill described it but she knew that she wasn't exaggerating things. It was just a metaphor. After all, who didn't know of her situation back then? They might now know the whole story but they knew she's been in and out of the hospital when she was pregnant and there was a time when Travis was hospitalized for three months, too. Thankfully, he forgot everyone but her. It would have been very painful if he remembers everyone but her.

"You know what, I don't really want to be away from Stefan. I also worry for him but I realize that there are things we must do separately. If he continues to stay with me every single day, it would affect his work. And I'll become a very lazy person beside him."

"But his work will still be affected with you gone from his side." Riley stated. "He's so used to your presence now and he's a worrywart, too. Added with the trauma of the recent incident with your former classmate, he would be very restless every second that you're out of his sight."

"I know. But I cannot bring him to school every day, right?" Cayenne looked towards Jillyanna, as if she was making a plea on her. "Jill, how did you convince Travis to work while you're at home? And sometimes, he even allowed you to go somewhere with just several bodyguards following you. How did you do that?"

"Ahem!" Jillyanna coughed drily as she scratched the side of her face. She looked to Riley and everyone else who showed the same awkward and helpless expression. "There's something you didn't know about us yet. Well, you know that Savannah is a soldier who's taking missions, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, the truth is, Savannah isn't the only fighter here. Except the two children and our two helpers, everyone else can fight and kill a person barehanded."

Cayenne blinked her eyes several times while listening to her words. She was observing Jillyanna's face if she was just joking or not but she couldn't really tell. "You're kidding me, aren't you?"

"I'm not." Jillyanna smiled and sighed. "Aside from Travis who wouldn't dare fight me, I've defeated everyone here, including the boys."

"What?! You fought with them?"

"Uh huh. I would spar with them from time to time and so far, no one won against me yet."

Cayenne looked towards the twin and then to Savannah. "This is really unbelievable." She muttered with obvious surprise.

Riley tapped her fingers on the coffee table to add a little bit of information to her. "Savannah came from the military along with Valkyrie, Hawk and Brown. They're a team so it's given that these four can fight. Travis was also trained in the military before. Winter, Travis' cousin, who isn't here, is a Lieutenant Colonel and her fiancée, Gabriel, is also from the military. Jackie, Shein and I were trained by Jillyanna. It's the reason why I didn't use any stunt double in my movie – because I can fight. And the bodyguards here, they're special men hired by Travis."

Cayenne was slowly processing their words in her head, not knowing how she should react into this information. "That is amazingly cool but, I don't think I can fight. I have a very weak stamina and even if I start training now, I don't have much time."

"You're right on that matter." Jackie told her. "But you're already doing a good job with your plan now. You still have over a month of summer help Stefan with his separation anxiety. You just have to show him that everything will be alright. Reassure him along the way that you're fine."

"Regarding that, I was wondering if you have any tools that I can use to communicate with him without alerting my future professors or classmates?"

"I do have one." Riley raised her hand in an instant. "Uhm, actually, it isn't mine. It's Shein's. But I think, he will agree to let you use it. Let me give him a call." Riley dialed Shein's number right in front of everyone and turned on the speaker. "Babe, do you have any use for that pen that you made not long ago?"

"No, why?"

"How about we give it to Yen?"

"That's fine with me." Shein replied and then, realized that it was the answer to Stefan's worry as well. "Give it to Yen and bring her back here. Stefan will probably tear down our house if you keep her inside any longer."

"Not even an hour has passed yet." Cayenne mumbled as she pinched the space between her eyebrows. "If I didn't come here, I wouldn't know what to do at all. Thank you so much for helping me."

"Not at all. If you need help, you can always count on us." Savannah winked at her.

Cayenne grew up with no one else to depend on but herself but now, she's got so many people who's willing to help her. Truly, fate has many surprises for you along the way.
