Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 252

Max gave me a faint smile. "Nightmare?"

I nodded, the word "home" still echoing in my mind. I shook my head, trying to dismiss the thought. It was just a dream, not a past life or anything. It was probably because I've been thinking too much about where my dad came from, weaving dreams to confuse myself. Suddenly, it hit me. "Max, in that past life, how could you let go of everything and choose to die with me?"

He gently ruffled my hair. "I'd do it in this life too."

"Ugh... don't talk like that. It's bad luck."

Leaning against him, I glanced out the window at the mountains and asked, "Max, have they found Richard and Hannah's bodies?"

Richard was my brother, and Hannah was my aunt, a fact I had no idea how to explain to Max.

My background was already complicated enough without being related to a murderer thrown into the mix. How could Max deal with all that gossip?

"They haven't been found. There's still hope they're alive, and the search continues."

Max helped me sit up. "Feeling any discomfort?"

I shook my head just as his assistant knocked and entered. "Mr. Hilton, the group has mostly turned against us. But we still hold the majority of shares, so they can't really do much."

I frowned slightly, managing to catch the gist of what the assistant was saying despite his quiet tone.
