Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 124

I picked up the call, Russel said, “Oscar Morse is looking for you, did you block him?”

“Yeah, what does he want from me?” I sat on the couch, eyes closed, resting.

I blocked Oscar when I went abroad. I used to try to find emotional balance through him, but then I realized he was innocent too, dragged into emotional drama at such a young age. So, I blocked all his contacts.

“Don’t you think it’s heartless to ghost people when you’re done using them?” Russel said, but his tone was laced with amusement.

I couldn’t tell he was calling me heartless.

“I feel guilty,” I sighed. “At first, I did use people for emotional comfort. But as time went by, I realized that the boy was actually pretty decent. I didn’t want to treat him like that anymore, so I ghosted him. That proves I still have a conscience.”

“Yeah, you could say you have a conscience,” Russel chuckled at my explanation.

Then he asked, “So, what should I tell him if he comes looking for me?”

Wait, Oscar actually tried to get in touch with Russel for information about me?

I didn’t expect him to care so much.

Feeling even more guilty, I thought for a moment before answering, “Just teil him I went abroad for work after my divorce from Neil and won’t be back for a few years. If he needs help with work in the future, he can turn to you.”

Russel seemed taken aback. “He’s turning to me for work issues? Is he a med student?”

“No, but you’re capable of helping him with his work issues. Dr. Russel, doctors are known for being compassionate. You should lend him a hand” My words left him in silence.

He was probably mulling over how being a kind doctor correlates with helping others find work.

“Don’t worry,” I quickly added, “you can think of it as taking care of a younger brother for me. If you help him, I’ll owe you one.”
