Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 296

First, I got wind from Bonnie that Neil once gave her a wad of cash. I tried to confront Neil face to face, but it was a big flop. Then, I got the proof from Russel.

Plus, I found out that Karina was pregnant when she kicked the bucket.

Later, when I went to Russel for the proof, I got photographed, and the pics were sent to Neil, which stirred up a row between us.

Was all this really part of Russel’s grand scheme? Like setting up Bonnie and Neil in a room alone to be misunderstood by others? Was that his doing, too?

I felt like my head was about to split open. In a past life, Russel and I teamed up to split Neil and Bonnie. Those scenes suddenly popped into my head, playing out like a movie.

My memory and reason told me that Russel was indeed the kind of guy who could pull off such a thing. His values and morals were solid when he was on the level, but once he fell into the abyss of love, he became a different person.

About every hour, I would wake up and check the time. By the time it was nearly five in the morning. I started to come to.

I hadn’t waited for someone like this in a long time, and that someone was still Neil. My heart was hanging in midair, waiting for the final outcome.

If Neil didn’t come back, then I could pretty much confirm that he had truly given up on me. Everything that followed, I would have to face on my own.
