Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 345

In the end, I took a seat. Just having a cup of coffee couldn’t be that complicated, right?

Russel was looking at me. His eyes no longer had the soft look they used to. They were cold again, like they were a long time ago, revealing only the occasional hint of a smile. It was unsettling.

I took a sip of my coffee, downing it in two gulps. Then I said to Russel, “Dr. Russel, take your time. I’m going to go get some sleep.”

“Rena!” My mom knew I was evading. She looked pissed.

“Mom, can you stop pushing me?” I was feeling lousy. After saying that, I bolted upstairs.

I went for a shower. It did a world of good, then I figured I’d check out that ‘Snow’. But before I could start, there was a knock on my door. Hannah was calling me for dinner, “Ms. Finch, it’s chow time.”

I was peckish, but I wasn’t sure if Russel had left. So, I asked Hannah, “Is Russel still around?”

Hannah whispered, “He’s still here. Your mom asked him to stick around for dinner.”

Hearing that, my appetite took a nosedive. I asked Hannah to bring me food, then I hopped back in bed and started to dig up information on ‘Snow’.

That person gave me an eerie feeling. She seemed perfect, yet mysterious. There wasn’t much information out there, just her nationality and profession. No pictures.
