Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 388

My folks weren’t at home, and my sprained ankle was pretty much healed. So, I could set off immediately.

Neil was downtown in Eldoria during that time, and it would have taken me half an hour to get there by car.

Upon reaching my destination, I looked up at the towering skyscraper. Entry and exit required a card swipe. So, I had no choice but to call Mitch, “Can you tell Neil to come down? I can’t get in.”

“Sure thing. I’ll call him now!” Mitch hung up after speaking.

I waited a few minutes, before Mitch called me back, “Rena, Neil isn’t picking up. Can you wait a bit longer?”

Since I was already here, I naturally wanted to help. So, I replied, “Sure.”

I then settled down on a sofa in the lobby to wait.

The elevator doors opened in the distance, and a familiar figure sprinted out. It was Hiram.

He was decked out in a gray-blue cartoon cowboy outfit, donning a baseball cap. His face, identical to Neil’s, was adorned with a mischievous expression as he bolted outside.

I didn’t want to interfere, but Hiram was alone, without Karina or Neil. What if something happened to him?

Sometimes, I had to admit the power of blood ties. Hiram, like Serena and Brandon, inherited blood from the same father.

Although I didn’t want to acknowledge it, he was indeed the half-brother of my two kids. He was innocent; the adults were to blame.

As Hiram’s figure disappeared at the entrance, I decided to follow him.

To my surprise, the little guy had improved his English significantly since returning from abroad. His other skills were top-notch as well. He even managed to hail a ride share!
