After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Counter-kill

But then she looked up at the smiling Nina Jacobs and felt like she was overthinking things.

"Mm, that’s good then."

Nina Jacobs stopped bothering Jenna Sullivan and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator before walking toward the living room.

Only then did Jenna Sullivan let out a sigh of relief.

The moment Leo Hale came downstairs, he saw a very cheerful Nina Jacobs fiddling with a tablet.

The aroma of breakfast filled the living room. Aside from the acid rain still pouring madly outside, everything was just like any other day.

"You’re still in the mood to download TV shows?"

Leo Hale had barely slept all night.

He had many friends and brothers, and quite a few had lost contact because of the acid rain last night. Some were even dead...

"Yeah, so I can watch them slowly later."

Nina Jacobs replied without even looking up.

"Are your friends... are they all okay?"

Leo Hale couldn’t help but ask.

"They should be."

In fact, Nina Jacobs had already received video calls from Chloe Pearson and Joanna Lynn last night.

The two of them were both excited and terrified.

If it weren’t for Nina Jacobs, they both would have certainly met with disaster.

Seeing that Nina Jacobs was also safe and sound at home, Chloe and Joanna hung up, relieved.

"That’s right. With a personality like yours, you probably don’t have many friends."

Just as Leo Hale finished speaking, he received a rap on the head.

"Is that any way to talk to your sister?"

Daniel Hale didn’t look like he had slept well, either, and neither did Vera Coleman.

"Mr. Hale, Ma’am, breakfast is ready."

Jenna Sullivan had been listening to the commotion in the living room. She felt a pang of guilt, but thinking of her son’s future, she gritted her teeth and brought out the breakfast she had prepared.

"Nanny Sullivan, today’s breakfast is so lavish."

Vera Coleman was peeling a hard-boiled egg for Nina Jacobs.

"Y-yes, Ma’am. Since you’re pregnant, I thought I should make a little extra for you to eat."

Jenna Sullivan forced a laugh.

She watched Nina Jacobs take a bite of the porridge in her bowl, and the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.

"By the way, Nanny Sullivan, go and clean up the empty room upstairs for me. I want to prepare a study for Nina."

Vera Coleman instructed.

"Yes, Ma’am."

Jenna Sullivan didn’t want to stay here any longer, either.

It wasn’t until she entered the kitchen that she realized her hands were shaking.

’I just don’t know how things are going on my son’s end.’

Although Jenna Sullivan grabbed the cleaning tools, she had no intention of cleaning at all.

The voices downstairs grew quieter and quieter, until finally, the entire villa fell silent.

She decided to go down and check the situation.

Jenna Sullivan had used a large dose of sleeping pills.

Although she didn’t know where Ben Stone got them, the effect was clearly very good. When she went downstairs, the whole family was asleep, leaning against the sofa.

The breakfast had been completely eaten.

"How is it?"

From the corridor outside the door, Ben Stone’s voice sounded somewhat impatient.

He had drunk all the water in his hand but still felt thirsty.

"They’re all asleep."

At that moment, Jenna Sullivan felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

Especially when she saw the axe in Ben Stone’s hand.

For some reason, she felt that the son before her was a little different.

The gauze on his face couldn’t hide his slightly sinister expression, and his eyes were filled with greed.

Ben Stone grinned, raising the axe in his hand as he walked toward Nina Jacobs and the others.

"Son, why don’t we just take the stuff and go?"

Jenna Sullivan grabbed Ben Stone’s arm.

However, Ben Stone acted as if he hadn’t heard her, and his strength was so great that he easily broke free.

"Kill... kill them! After today, everything here will be ours!"

Ben Stone bumped into the coffee table, and the clinking of water glasses made him pause.

He poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.

Then, his eyes met a pair of beautiful, mocking ones.

CRACK.

The water glass shattered on the floor. Ben Stone raised his axe at Nina Jacobs, whose eyes were now open.

"How are you awake?!"

"I was waiting for you."

Nina Jacobs laughed out loud.
