Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 173

When Stella and Mitch arrived, my parents had just gotten there too.

They were both deeply concerned about me and also very worried

My mom was getting a bit superstitious, Rena, do you think this city is against you? You’ve been abroad for two years, traveling all over the place with no problems, but as soon as you come back, trouble finds you?”

“Nonsense, Rena grew up here, how could it be against her? I think it’s Neil who’s bad luck for her. Ever since she married Neil, everything’s gone downhilll my dad said sternly

*Dad, Mom, Neil and I have been divorced for two years, how could he still be causing me trouble? Besides, he was the one who brought me to the hospital this time I was a bit helpless as they were getting more and more superstitious.

Stella wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. In fact, she also thought that Neil was causing me trouble

After a while, my dad took a phone call and went off to work. My morn went to ask the doctor about my condition, leaving only Stella and Mitch with me.

I then mentioned calling Neil, I’ve already talked to him, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

“How did you persuade him?” Stella curiously asked.

I repeated the conversation, which left Mitch a bit puzzled. In the end, he helplessly said, “Good luck to them”

Unfortunately, Mitch’s well wishes didn’t seem to have any effect.

The next day Stella brought me some news. The two guys had been beaten to a pulp and dumped in a ditch by a mountain road. If someone hadn’t heard their weak cries for help, they could be dead by now.

I was a bit shocked, not wanting Neil to do something like this. If things went wrong, I should take the blame.

“Rena, the city’s not that big, you’re bound to run into Neil if you stay here. I still think he’s got an ulterior motive, he wants to get back with you!” Stella said while slicing an apple for me.
