Chapter 16

"We found your wife but she didn't make it."

Hyeri picks up her phone that Jennie dropped on the ground. She places it on her ear to see if the person on the other line is still there.

"Mrs. Kim? Are you still there?" Hyeri hears and looks at Jennie

"Uhm I'm her friend, Lee Hyeri. How's Chaeyoung?" she asks but she already knows the answer based on how Jennie reacted.

"Sorry Ms. Lee but we have a policy to talk to family members or relatives of the person—"

"We're the only family she has and I do have the right to know what happened to her!" Hyeri yelled, Irene went to her side and took the phone, she turns it on speaker mode so they can hear whatever the person on the other line will say.

"You can talk now; her wife is listening." Irene said and looks at the brunette whose tears are falling freely on her eyes "We're sorry to inform you that your wife didn't make it. We're very sorry Mrs. Kim."

Jennie looks at the phone and then looks at her friends, she knows that she needed to speak "M-maybe you've mistaken her for another person. S-she's not dead." She said.

"We found her cell phone and wallet inside the car, the paramedics and fire fighters tried to save her but they were too late."

The girls didn't say a word, Hyeri cries, Jisoo slumps her body on the couch, Irene bit her lip to stop herself from crying and Jennie... she's trying her best not to breakdown and still hoping that it's not her wife.

"This can't be. She can't be d-dead. She can't leave me just like that!" Jennie started to panic and grabs the phone on Irene's hand "Did she rent a car or she borrowed one of your cars?" Jennie asks the girls.

"I offered her to use mine." Irene answered "Uhm hello? Did the paramedics tell you what type of vehicle she was in?"

"No Mrs. Kim." The girl answered

"Are there any possibilities that you can check it?"

"I'm sorry but we don't have any capabilities to do that. We only accept the patients with limited information from the paramedics and the police handle the rest for us."

"It's impossible that you don't know it! For Christ's sake can you be more helpful for us?!" Jennie shouted

"Let me do the talking okay?" Irene said to her.

Jennie nods her head and sits on the bed. She looks at Hyeri and Jisoo hugging each other "I'm sorry Hyeri-ah." Jennie said to her but the taller brunette just looks at her and hug Jisoo tight.

Irene ends the call after having a debate with the girl on the line. The latter told her that they need to go to the hospital and identify Chaeyoung's body.

"Jennie." Irene says

"How will I explain it to her hyun?" Jennie asks her pertaining to Ella who is at her penthouse with Joy and Seulgi. Lisa rushed to the location as soon as they received the news and hasn't contacted them since.

Jennie wipes her tears that keeps on flowing "How will I tell my daughter that her mother is dead because of me?" she asked in a defeated tone.
