Chapter 296

First, I got wind from Bonnie that Neil once gave her a wad of cash. I tried to confront Neil face to face, but it was a big flop. Then, I got the proof from Russel.

Plus, I found out that Karina was pregnant when she kicked the bucket.

About every hour, I would wake up and check the time. By the time it was nearly five in the morning. I started to come to.

I hadn’t waited for someone like this in a long time, and that someone was still Neil. My heart was hanging in midair, waiting for the final outcome.

If Neil didn’t come back, then I could pretty much confirm that he had truly given up on me. Everything that followed, I would have to face on my own.
