Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 342

I was completely gobsmacked and at a loss for words.

It turned out, Neil really did visit my mom in the hospital, as the previous caregiver had told me.

But the fact that my mom knew about it was what blew my mind.

“Lately, he’s been spending a lot of time next door. Did you meet him?” Sure enough, my mom was aware.

At that point, I was stumped and could only nod in admission.

Seeing my nod, my mom’s face darkened. Clearly, she was pissed.

She remained silent for a while, and I finally spilled the beans, “Mom, think of it as me using him, okay? At the moment, he’s the only one who can help with dad’s situation.”

“You’re using yourself as bait?” The wrath in my mom’s voice was palpable.

“No, no, we didn’t do anything. He just wants to win me back!” I quickly explained to prevent my mom from getting more riled up. Even though it was a lie, it was better than her being mad.

Hearing my words, my mom let out a sigh of relief, but her face was still grim, “Rena, your dad would rather go to prison than see you

do this.”

But I didn’t want my dad to go to prison, and there was also the matter of Oscar Morse. I had to get to the bottom of it and give Oscar, the justice he deserved.

Both Oscar’s and my dad’s cases involved Bonnie; it was unavoidable.

After a moment of silence, I replied, “Mom, it’s not just about Dad; it’s also about Oscar. I treat him like a brother. Don’t worry, I won’t really be with Neil. Once it’s all over, I’ll make things clear with him, okay?”

“Alright, as long as you can draw a clear line with him, I might even give up the company, and we can leave this place as a family of three.” I was stunned to hear my mom’s words. She was willing to give up her company?
