Chapter 382

“Didn’t Neil go back to Rosemont? Did Karina’s scheme fall through?” I could then talk about Neil as casually as if we were discussing the latest gossip about a

friend.

“How did you know?” Stella asked in a surprised manner.

“I was at the hospital for a postnatal check-up earlier. The doctor knows Karina, and I overheard their conversation,” I explained truthfully.

Stella clicked her tongue. “You and Neil must have been sworn enemies in a past life. You’ve moved all this way and still can’t seem to escape him.”

I had to agree with her; in my past life, I had held a deep grudge against Neil. I had refused to divorce him, nearly preventing him from marrying his true love.

Our conversation was cut short when Stella’s baby started crying.

When I arrived home, I could hear Brandon crying. My father was desperately trying to soothe him but to no avail. I quickly took over, and my father sank into the couch, clutching his back as if in pain.

“Dad, are you okay?” I asked worriedly. He was in his sixties, and his health wasn’t as robust as it used to be.

“Just an old ailment,” he sighed, “I’m old. But now that I have two grandchildren; I have no regrets in life.”

His health wasn’t great. His back especially wasn’t great since he used to sit in an office all day. My mother, on the other hand, had a heart condition and couldn’t exert herself too much.

If it wasn’t for Russel’s tireless efforts, I might not have been able to manage both kids on my own.
