Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 139

I got home and received a call from Stella who brought me some fresh gossip.

Bonnie was in the hospital

She wasn’t quite sure why Bonnie was admitted.

“Is Neil with her at the hospital?” I asked.

“Yup, he’s the one who took Bonnie Bitch to the hospital, Stella speculated. “Why would she be hospitalized all of a sudden? She’s so young. Don’t tell me she’s pregnant?!”

My heart skipped a beat, feeling as if someone had discovered my secret. Neil had told me that he and Bonnie hadn’t slept together, so Bonnie shouldn’t. be pregnant.

“I don’t know, let them be,” I replied.

Stella agreed, “Yeah, forget them You’re fabulous on your own!”

After hanging up, I felt distracted and my eyelid kept twitching. I had an uneasy feeling, but I didn’t know why.

Tomorrow afternoon, I’d be flying to Caladonia with Harold. I hoped nothing messy would happen.

In the evening, Oscar sent me a message: [Irene, I went home for a funeral. I’ll be back in town this afternoon. Let’s have lunch together tomorrow, okay?]

Me: Sure, stay safe]

The next noon, I met Oscar. He was still holding his luggage bag, probably hadn’t even gone back to his place to drop it off yet.
