Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 126

When I got to the hospital, I was taken for a gynecological check–up while Neil waited outside.

I gave the doctor a brief rundown of my situation, followed by a series of tests. The results didn’t seem optimistic The doc suggested I stay in the hospital for a bit, which seriously bummed me out. I felt like a deflated balloon.

“No, he’s just a friend. If I need his help, I’ll let him know Thanks.” I replied wearily

After I was transferred to the ward, Neil came to my bedside and asked. “What’s up? The doc wouldn’t tell me anything.”

I requested the doctor to keep it confidential, so she wouldn’t inform Neil Patient privacy was respected in such cases.

Looking at Neil’s worried face, I knew he genuinely cared for me. He had left Bonnie behind to rush me to the hospital. This wasn’t some figment of my imagination. I was debating whether I should tell him the truth, give him a chance to decide.

“I’m on my way.”

“Alright, got it.”

I was hesitant a moment ago, but now I was determined. Neil had only sent me to the hospital out of conscience, so how could I be swayed so easily?
