Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 477

Faith was silent for a long time after my words. I thought she didn’t want to respond, but to my surprise, I heard her sob.

I panicked instantly. It was the first time Faith had cried in front of me. Even when she begged me to give Neil another chance, she hadn’t wept like this.

“Irene, we, the Whitmores, owe you an apology, I’ve always felt I was responsible for you wasting the best five years of your life. And that child, who should have been born safely and grown up happily under our watch, was lost because of Neil’s irresponsibility. That led to the child not having the chance to be part of our family. How can I accept that?” Faith’s tears started to flow as she spoke, she took a tissue and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

I didn’t know how to respond. I had already moved on, but Faith was still immersed in the pain and regret of that time.

“Faith, those things happened a long time ago. Now he has Hiram, and that’s pretty good. Some things are just fate, and we can’t force them.” After a while, I finally managed to utter these words. I knew what was bothering Faith because Neil had told me, but I had never seen Faith lose control of her emotions.

She began to cry softly, making me feel incredibly sad and my eyes began to well up.

After a few minutes, Faith looked up at me again and said, “Irene, in my heart, you’re still my daughter-in-law. I know you’re with Russel now, but I feel a connection with you, and I think you’re the best match for Neil!”

It had been a long time since Neil and I divorced, but Faith still considered me her daughter-in-law. I didn’t know whether to be moved or embarrassed.

“Faith, Neil now has Karina and Hiram. It’s not appropriate to talk about these things anymore. I just hope you’re well.” I found that apart from these words, I had no other way

to comfort Faith.

I was even afraid that if I said the wrong thing, it would make Faith feel worse.

Faith wiped her tears, then forced a smile, “Alright, I understand. I recently made a trip to Heavenly Mountain to light a candle for that child and made a wish for his peaceful passing. The time to fulfill that wish is nearing. If you have time, would you accompany me?”
