Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled Novel

Chapter 81 

It felt a little groggy but my mind was clear Sewing Barbara beating herself up. Tromforted her, “This aint on you. The one to blame is Norman Idon’t regret telling you about his infidelity He doesn’t deserve you” 

Barbara ned more bitterly Stelts and Alicia walked in with a fruit basket. Seeing me they hurried over. “Reria, sin you feeling okay? Still got a headache?” 

“Are you hungry? I can grab you something to eat 

“Are you cold? I can crank up the AC Cant have you catching a cold” 

I shook my head slightly “Not hungry not cold just a bit dizzy” 

Stella kooked at me with concern. “Poor Rena You’ve been having a rough couple of months. This is the second time you’ve hit your head. Hope you dont end up getting dumber* 

I chucked “Even if I do you guys can take Turns looking after me” 

I got the rundown of what had happened from them 

Norman, out of spite had gotten Gamett to get close to me. Their plan was to kill me after getting the money, then flee the country 

Luckily Netscall was my lifesaver After hearing my cries for help, he tracked me down with his phone and came to my rescue 

Wiping away her tears. Barbara said angrily, I can’t believe how wile and selfish Norman is, blaming his mistakes on others. His parents came to me for help. How brazen? 

Stelia looked at me disgust in her eyes, “People like him belong in jail. Barbara, you dodged a bullet seeing his true colors before it was too late” 

Barbara nodded. “Yeah” 

While we were chatting Russel walked p 

He gave Garnett a good scolding making up for his previous actions against me in the game I greeted him politely, “Hey, Dr Russel” 

“Feeling dizzy” instead of answering. Russel asked, “Have you thrown up since you woke up? Do you remember what happened before you passed out? 

I answered all his questions 

After checking on me he said. “You’ve got a slight brain bleed, but no need for surgery in about a week, the blood will be absorbed. Just stay in the hospital and get the treatment you need” 

“Okay” I decided to follow the doctor’s orders. Leave the professional stuff to the professionals 

Before Russel left, he gave me a deep look, but I couldn’t read his expression Stella suddenly leaned in, a mischievous smile on her face, whispered, “Rena, do you think Russel’s got a thing for you? the interested in you?” 

I quickly covered Stella’s mouth. Russel, just about to leave, paused at the door, then walked away 

Alicia humed to close the hospital room door 

“Rena, didn’t Neil take you away on Christmas Eve?” Barbara also had a mysterious smile, “Did you run into a thug? Didn’t Neil give him a good beating?” 

“How did you guys know?” I was a bit surprised 

“Because then Russel beat the guy up again. He’s still in the hospital. Didn’t you know?” Barbara was no longer crying, her eyes red from excitement, “After you guys left, we all left too. When we were leaving, we saw a crowd around a guy who’d been beaten up. After hearing about it from the manager, Russel gave him another beating” 

My heart raced What was Russel trying to imply? 

Was he like Nel, falling for two women at the same time? 

Stella laughed with satisfaction, “Ha Rena, seems like your luck is changing! Nel’s been treating you differently, and even the usually cold Russel is giving you special treatment. This is too exciting 

“Not exciting at all I glared at Stella She was blowing things out of proportion 

Pussel’s true love was Bonnie he just hadn’t fallen for her yet He would, eventually If I were to think he’s fallen for me that would be too conceited 

Besides. Im not Bonnie I cant bear to see two childhood friends turn against each other because of me 

I couldnt tell Stella and the others about Russel’s future tussle with Neil over Bonnie, so I had to halt their imaginations for now 

After chatting for a while in the hospital room, Alicia got a call from work and had to rush back. 

I took the opportunity to tell Stella and Barbara to go as well 

I have to stay with your Barbara was full of guilt and refused to leave 

“Ali’s got work. Barbara and I have nothing to do. We can take turns staying with you” Stella grabbed her bag, flipped her hair with a casual air, “I haven’t told your parents about your injury yet. You decide whether you want to tell them I’ve got things to do today, need to discipline my disobedient puppy come by tomorrow” 

With that, she quickly left 

Barbara looked confused. “When did Stella get a dog?” 

“Are you crazy? By puppy she obviously means her new fing” laughed 

“Oh I totally forgot about her being a floozy Barbara slapped her forehead 

With company, time flew by I called my mom, told her the situation in Geneva was resolved, but didn’t mention my Injury and hospital stay. 

My mom had a weak heart, she’s still in the hospital herself. I decided not to upset her 

By the time it was getting dark outside, Nel still hadnt come to see me 

Barbara said that after Nel had dropped me off at the hospital, he went to deal with Norman 

Thinking of Neil rushing into the warehouse to save me made my heart race. But when I remembered Bonnie following close behind him, my heart returned to its normal pace 

I guessed, that night, he was probably hanging out with Bonnie and Russel and the others 

And Bonnie, she had clearly heard my dies for help, but pretended not to and tried to stop Nel from finding me I would never forget that 

A person who looks so innocent dince they commit a wrongdoing can be even more terrifying 

After dinner after a lot of persuading on my part, Barbara, reluctantly, headed home bold her that it’s enough to keep me company during the day I didnt need her here when I was sleeping at night. 

After she left, I played with my phone for a bit, then before I knew it, my eyes were closed 

in a half asleep state felt like someone had sat next to my bed i tried to open my eyes to see, but my eyelids were too heavy, and in the end, I couldn’t help but fall asleep. 

In the middle of tng night, i woke up because ) was thirsty. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Neil sitting by my lied, watching me 

“Whoar i get a fright and even stopped breathing for a second 

“Why are you awake?” Neil surprisingly gave a smile with a gentleness in his voice that i didn’t recognize 

“Im thirsty. I answered truthfully 

He got up, grabbed the water glass from the bedside and got me a glass of water “Here, drink up” 

I was taken aback, “I can get up and get water myself”
