Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 250

I thought of the diamond ring Russel Dawson had given me, and a pang of pain shot through my heart.

I didn’t know how long it would take for me to be able to chat with him like a friend again. Until he put

aside his past, that would be impossible.

“Are you feeling sorry for him?” Neil suddenly asked coldly, with a sense of indifference in his voice.

“No “I snapped out of my thoughts and replied casually

“Haha,” Neil laughed coldly. Feeling sorry is feeling sorry What’s there to deny? He’s indeed a good

guy, worth feeling a bit sorry for, but sadly, he’s not right for you”

When it came to me and Russel, the least qualified person to comment was Neil

I got mad and retorted angrily, “Is there a man in this world who suits me less than you do?”

Nell turned his head to look at me immediately, there was something bleak in his eyes that scared me a

bit. I pretended not to notice and quietly gazed at the scenery outside the window.

After that, Neil didn’t say anything. I could feel a tense atmosphere in the car, which lasted until we

arrived at the hospital

“Hold on to me

When he was about to carry me out of the car, Neil ordered me sternly.

I refused him, “I don’t need you to carry me. Just get a nurse to help me

“You just twisted your ankle, and you want the busy nurses to run over and help you?” Neil said sternly

I was speechless.

In the end, I had no choice but to compromise and let Neil carry me into the hospital. Along the way, I

gently draped my arm over his neck, giving him a piece of my mind without actually saying it.

Both of my ankles were sprained it wasnt serious after some medication and bandaging, but for the

next few days, I would be restricted in my movements. The doctor pushed up his glasses and looked at

Neil, ‘You’ll have to take good care of her for the next few days. It might be difficult for her to go to the

bathroom or take a shower. As her husband, you need to assist her more”

“Doctor, he’s not my husband.” I interrupted the doctor

The doctor was taken aback

Neil said coldly. “Ex-husband and husband are the same thing. Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

The doctor suddenly gave a knowing smile as he watched us leave

Neil drove me back to Sterling Estates. I looked at him in confusion, “Did you get the address wrong?”

“Where do you want to live? Alone in your apartment or Sapphire River Community? if you faint in the

bathroom, no one would know.” Neil picked me up and headed into Sterling Estates.

The servants who were tending the yard looked surprised when they saw my face

A couple of the braver ones even greeted us, “Sir, madam, you’re back.”

“Uh huh, prepare dinner,” Neil ordered.

I corrected him, “Please don’t call me ‘madam! It’s better to call me Ms. Finch,

Neil ignored me, carrying me straight up to the second floor. All the way, I could only see his chiseled

jawline and prominent Adam’s apple.

When we entered the living room, I noticed that the front door had been replaced. I guess it was after

the ruckus Bonnie caused last time, but I don’t know where she got the key from

“Just put me in the quest room, and after dinner, I’ll call Bailey to take me home. He can help me.”I

spoke again.

“How can he help you? He’s a man. Are you going to have him help you bathe, dress, or accompany

you to the toilet?” Neil asked, displeased, his voice filled with discontent

Actually, I could ask Barbara Sands to stay with me for a few days, but she was busy preparing for her

wedding. She had a lot to arrange right now!

Neil placed me op the bed in the master bedroom and said expressionlessly, “I’ll go prepare the bath

water”

“Neil, you don’t have to bother I really won’t be staying here overnight Thanks though I stopped Neil

and explained again.

You take a bath and eat first, then I’ll take you home “Neil left this sentence and went to the bathroom.

I sat dumbfounded on the bed. This was my second time back here since I returned to the country.

Each time, it felt a bit desolate

Just as I was zoning out, Neil came back. He glanced at me, then went into the walk-in closet and

brought out a set of women’s clothes, including a black lace bra and a yellow leisure suit.

After the divorce, I had taken all my clothes with me, especially the undergarments. I would never have

left them here. So these must be some other woman’s clothes

I’m not used to wearing other people’s clothes, ‘No need, I’ll just wear what I have on now.”

“Tipse clothes are all new, custom-made to your size. But you’ve lost weight, so they might be a bit big

for you now, especially.. Ned deliberately looked at my chest.

I glared at him, “Can you not be so tasteless?!”

1 just stated the truth, and you label me as ‘tasteless’?” Neil looked displeased. “If you lose any more

weight, who would want you? What’s the difference between holding you and holding a skeleton?”

I was speechless. How could this man have become so disgusting, saying such infuriating things?

When I loved him, no matter how cold or sarcastic he was, I could bear it. But now, I just wanted to

curse him out.

However, I was mobility-challenged and also in Neil’s house. Better hold my tongue

Neil put the clothes in the bathroom, then came over to lift me. I immediately said, ‘I don’t need to

bathe.”

“After sitting on the ground for so long, don’t you need a bath?” Neil frowned.

I actually really wanted to take a bath. It would make me feel better. But my foot couldn’t touch water

now. How could I bathe?

Neil completely ignored me and directly carried me into the bathroom. Then he called a servant and

instructed, “Her foot can’t touch the water; be careful”

“Alright.” The servant nodded.

After Neil left the bathroom, the servant helped me undress and carefully placed me in the bathtub with

only my foot exposed

While bathing, the servant and I chatted. She came with Ada back then and had known me for a while.

But we haven’t seen each other for over two years.

“Mrs. Whitmore, in these two years, Mr. Whitmore hasnt brought any woman home. He often sits in the

cello room where you used to play. Maybe he regretsit. The servant told me

Just call me Ms. Finch. I’m divorced from him. I’m not his wife anymore.” I replied softly.

The housekeeper nodded, “Ms. Finch, could you possibly give Mr. Whitmore another chance?”

I was a bit taken aback. When did the housekeeping staff start batting for Neil? From what I knew

about Neil, his demeanor towards them wasn’t exactly sunshine and roses.

His principle was pretty straightforward. He was paying them, so whoever took his money should bend

over backward for him.

“How does he treat you guys?’ I couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“Mr. Whitmore is indeed a bit on the dominant and distant side. We all know that. He’s not one for

chitchat with us, but he gave us a pay raise and bonuses on holidays, and if we’re in a bind, he’s been

known to lend us a hand. I think Mr. Whitmore is not as bad as he appears on the surface” The maid

replied earnestly.
