Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 129

I still remember what the doctor once told me, to keep a cool head, try to avoid getting too worked up or anxious to prevent any negative effects on the baby. So after hearing what Russel said, I took a deep breath. Russel, I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear a single word you just said. I’m pretty sure you’re. running a fever. Go lie down on the couch for a bit, I’ll go get you some meds.”

I quickly turned around and left. I found a pharmacy nearby and bought some cold and fever medicine.

“Ms. Finch.” As I was about to leave, Louis walked out from behind the medicine shelves, holding some hangover pills.

“Mr. Aldridge,” I politely responded.

“Fancy seeing you here. Do you live nearby?” Louis asked with a polite smile.

I nodded, “Yeah, what brings you here?”

Louis was nothing like Neil and Russel, he was a real chatterbox, can strike up a conversation with anyone, whether he knew them or not.

He explained, “Actually, Neil invested in a project over here, the one I’m working on. We’re partners now. There’s a party nearby tonight, so I came to get some pills for hangover in advance”

“1 see, that’s great.” I responded with a smile, then excused myself, “I have some things to take care of, gotta head home”

“Alright, see you” Louis waved goodbye.

I left the pharmacy only to find my car blocked with cars in front and back and an illegally parked car next to it with no one in it. To make matters worse, the driver didn’t even leave a contact number.

Just as I was getting frustrated, I saw Louis coming out of the pharmacy and heading towards a car across the street. He got in and rolled down the window, and that was when I saw Neil in the driver’s seat.

Upon seeing me, Neil’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He said something to Louis, then started the car and drove
