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

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’.
