Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 300

“Ms. Finch, sorry, I know I shouldn’t be making calls while on duty, but he just keeps…” Hannah wiped her eyes, which were already red from frustration.

“Don’t sweat it. I think you don’t need to argue with that jerk. If you’re worried about your parents, I’ll go with you to pick them up after Christmas. Get them away from that bastard for good.” I handed back her phone, trying to comfort her.

Hannah finally broke down in tears.

Neil came downstairs at this point, but he didn’t say anything. He just went to have dinner in the dining room.

Once Hannah was calmed down, I went back to my meal.

I was quiet due to my deep thoughts, and Neil, being the cold fish he was, didn’t say much. If I still trusted him, I would’ve mentioned Louis. But there was no need now

“Come to the hospital with me tomorrow,” Neil suddenly said without looking at me.

“The hospital? What’s wrong?” I was taken aback.

“We’re going for a check-up,” Neil finally looked up at me. His eyes were cold and indifferent.

I was slightly surprised but kept my cool. “What are we checking?”

Neil’s gaze drifted down as if looking at my belly, but it was blocked by the table. Then he looked back at me and asked, “Have you been taking birth control pills without my knowledge?”

Upon hearing this, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was worried that Neil would find out about my possible infertility. Russel wouldn’t use this against me. If he did, I would never forgive him.

“No,” I answered straightforwardly. I had no reason to.

“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Neil seemed somewhat skeptical

“What’s the point in lying? Birth control pills are bad if you take too many. I’m not crazy,” I said lightly. “I actually want a baby.”
