Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 330

Chapter 330

“Is Chloe thinking of offing herself?” Russel asked me with a voice as flat as a pancake. His nonchalance sent a chill down my spine.

“Yeah, your fiancée’s thinking of kicking the bucket. Shouldn’t you go check on her?” I retorted, cold as ice.

“She’s a grown woman; she should take responsibility for her own life. I can’t control her choices.” Russel’s reply was so cold it left me gobsmacked.

His lack of warmth towards a woman he didn’t love was eerily similar to Neil from my past life.

“Regardless, she’s head over heels for you. Can’t you come back and help her out? Just be the good guy for once?” I pleaded.

“She knew I didn’t have the hots for her. She brought this on herself, right?” he replied with a smirk on his face.

Was this the Russel I knew? He was still a doctor. Where was his compassion? If he was this indifferent to his fiancée, how did he treat others?

Thinking of my past life and his collaboration with him gave me the heebie-jeebies. If I hadn’t kicked the bucket from a terminal illness, would we have butted heads?

But I didn’t have time to dwell on it. I just urged Russel, “Can you come back and talk some sense into her? Her folks promised me that if you can convince her not to off herself, they’ll work out a way to call off the engagement.”

“I don’t need them to promise me anything,” Russel’s voice suddenly turned heavy, “Instead, how about you promise me something?”

I could feel my heart in my throat, “What do you want me to promise?”
