Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 297

When I woke up at noon, Neil was already gone from the bedroom.

I rubbed my sore eyes, got up, got dressed, and then headed downstairs.

Hannah had already made lunch. Seeing me, she flashed a little smile and said, “Ms. Finch, lunch is ready”

“Where’s Neil?” I asked.

“Mr. Whitmore went to the office,” Hannah replied. “He said you were really beat, so he told us not to wake you up.”

I had some suspicions but didn’t really think much of it.

Since Neil chose to come back in the end, he probably didn’t do anything he wasn’t supposed to do with Bonnie.

After eating, I hopped in the car and went to visit my mom at the hospital. Even though she hadn’t woken up yet, her health was stable. The care worker was really thoughtful and took good care of her.

I hadn’t been going to the hospital much lately because I was so busy at work. The doctor suggested that I could consider taking my mom home for convalescence. If she showed signs of waking up, it would be enough to bring her back to the hospital for a check-up.
