Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 169

Blood streamed down Raymon’s forehead He touched the blood on his face, then glanced at Neil in astonishment. His emotions quickly shifted from shock to agitation, a fire in his eyes, itching to retaliate.

But in his drunken and injured state, Raymon had no strength to fight back. He soon slumped onto the chair, unsure whether he collapsed due to the alcohol or the blow

I was taken aback by it all. Just like Raymon, I never expected Neil to step up for me.

Trene, this…” Oscar was dumbfounded, looking at the motionless Raymon on the chair, lost for words.

“I punched him. You don’t have to worry about it.” Neil said calmly, grabbing some napkins to clean the alcohol off his hands. His voice had regained its composure, devoid of anger or panic.

Cooper went out immediately to call the staff to manage the situation in the room.

Before long, Raymon was helped out, seemingly on his way to the hospital.

“Thank you, and if Raymon needs medical expenses, I’ll take care of it,” I told Neil before leaving

“Are you with him?” Neil asked coldly, his gaze fixed on me and Oscar.

Oscar turned to look at me, his expression somewhat complicated.

I didn’t answer. I didn’t want to delve into matters of relationships with Neil.

“Oscar, let’s go, I told Oscar

He nodded and followed me out of the hotel.

Once in the car, guilt was all over him. “Irene, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have faced this today”

I chuckled “You don’t have to blame yourself. It was my impatience. I thought that since I’ve come back and met you again, I should find a way to help you I didn’t expect it to backfire.”

Oscar looked at me, his eyes sincere. “Irene, thanks for looking out for me like this. I’ll be fine. I can continue working well in the current company, and if I work hard enough, maybe I can settle down in this city in the future.”
