Chasing After My Wife Chapter 294
Advertisement
When Jackie arrived home, she found that she's missing one button of her black jacket and it could've been left at the jail or somewhere on the way.
As part of her cautious behavior, she changed her clothes and threw it on the trash bin. She didn't need anyone to find those clothes or know it was her.
The hair clip that she left was just a clue to mess up with Vincent.
"You're throwing those clothes out?" Riley asked from the living room. She was reading the script once again and Shein was just right beside her checking on the jail's system to make sure that no other clue can be seen that could be traced back to Jackie.
"I am just being cautious."
"Oh? Is that why you left your hair clip on purpose?"
"I just want to mess with someone." Jackie had always been serious since they were young. It was a seldom occasion to see her smile but now, Riley and Shein could see the joy in her eyes.
They watched Jackie go out of the house to throw the trash bag. 'Did she find someone she likes?' This is the question that Shein and Riley wanted to ask but they didn't dare to.
The next morning, the three of them sat in front of Shein's laptop to watch what will happen. They haven't sleep for the whole night because they wanted to know what their eldest sister, Jillyanna was up to.
"Oh they start eating the sandwiches.." Riley commented as they watched everything unfold.
One minute. One hour. Two hours...They waited for hours and nothing happened. Jackie started preparing their breakfast while the two remained seated on the couch.
When she couldn't take it anymore, Riley closed her eyes and leaned her head on Shein's shoulder to sleep.

Shein carried her back to her bed instead so that she can sleep comfortably. He didn't want her to get a stiff neck because she'd throw a fit again if that happens.
Jackie continued cooking since nothing happened yet. Shein drank his third cup of coffee and continued watching camera records through his laptop.
Around 10 o'clock in the morning, Riley got up to drink a glass of water. It was at this time that she caught something on the laptop screen.
"What's happening to them?" she asked her sister and Shein who was watching the videos.
"I'm not really sure but it looks to me that they were in so much pain." Shein answered his girlfriend while zooming in the camera record to get a clear views.
They watched the Summers being carried to the clinic with soulless eyes. They were sweating and gritting their teeth. Some of them even cried.
'So that's what she wanted. She didn't want me to kill them but feel the intense pain while living. Will this be repetitive?' Jackie thought to herself.
Instead of doing her mission for a month, she ended it earlier than planned. She immediately informed Jillyanna about what happened and asked what she had in mind as well.
"Yes. That poison I asked you to give them will act again tomorrow morning. It will act every single day until they will take their life themselves." Jillyanna answered calmly like she was answering a school test.
"Will the doctors know that it was because of the poison?"
"Nope. They won't be able to detect anything."
"I see. Well, I'm glad I helped you. You don't have to worry about Simon, I made sure that he's safe and he will continue to be safe."
"Thanks Jackie."

"Am I going back to work tomorrow?"
"I don't think so. Dad and everyone is currently taking care of the company. In exchange, I'd have to travel to places that Travis went to before. Would you like to come with us instead? You can take it as a vacation, too."
"I'm good with it." Jackie responded almost immediately. She wanted to relax herself too.
While she was thinking about her vacation, Vincent was thinking about her at the same time. He was worried, suspicious and sad for her. He didn't know what he can do to make her believe that he was being honest of his feelings.
"Is she testing me?" Vincent murmured to himself while holding on to the hair clip. He flipped it on his hand over and over again but he couldn't think of anything to say.
He was also very sure that she owned the clip because no one in the jail wore a hair clip aside from her.
From morning 'til night, all he could think was her. The Summers went through a full body check up but there wasn't any findings.
The next day, it happened again. All the Summers except Simon were writhing in pain. They didn't know what was going on and the doctors couldn't find anything either.
This continued for a week and this left a huge hole in Vincent's career. The higher ups were curious with what was happening because the report they received didn't say anything. It looked to them that the Summers were just pretending to be sick because the doctors couldn't diagnose their illness.
Vincent decided to finally contact Jackie and asked her personally about his conjectures. He didn't really want to accuse her but after she arrived and left the regional jail, everything changed.
Jackie agreed to meet him in a cafe across the restaurant that Jillyanna and Travis went. It was noon time and they were all hungry from looking around the city.
"You're not eating with us?" Travis asked upon seeing Jackie leave.
"I have to step out for awhile big bro. I'm meeting with a friend in that cafe over there." Jackie informed him since Jillyanna went to the comfort room first.
"Alright. I'll tell your sister about it. Make sure to come as soon as you can. We won't leave her until you're back."
"Okay. I'll be back soon." Jackie ran for the door and walked across the street to the cafe that they agreed to meet.
