Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 187

“Mitch, can you give me Russel’s parents‘ contact info? Come on “I asked.

Mitch was tight with Russel. He definitely knew. But he hesitated, didn’t dare to spill the beans, “Irene, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. I just don’t want Russel to chew me out ”

I chuckled and said, “Surely it’s better than watching him have a showdown with his family? When he chose to be a doctor, he must have had beef with his family, and he busted his hump to get where he wanted to be. We cant waste all that just because of me.”

Mitch sighed, whipped out his phone, and texted me a number, it was Russel’s mom’s cell number.

It was getting late. I’ll call tomorrow.

After Stella and Mitch left, I was tossing and turning in bed, unable to catch some Zs, until it was time to ship out. I didn’t wait for anyone, and I was left alone.

Once I got in the car, I was ready to hit the road when Gloria suddenly popped up by my window, smiling softly and knocking on the window.

“You’re Irene, right?‘ She asked once the window was rolled down.

“Uh–huh, what’s up?‘ I wasn’t exactly fond of Gloria, I had things to deal with, so my tone was a bit icy

Gloria glanced back. A stretch limo was parked there, and Bonnie and Kate were waiting for her inside.

She turned back to me, and said, “Nothing much. Bonnie mentioned that Ms. Finch was quite nice to her before. As her mother, I wanted to express my gratitude.”

“Ms. Gloria, you’re too kind. Bonnie and I arent that familiar” I responded with a polite smile, not particularly warm.

Gloria didn’t get mad or embarrassed. She just went on, “Bonnie is young. She can be easily fooled by appearances. If she’s caused any inconvenience to you, I hope you’ll forgive her”
