Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 141

I had to check into the hospital again, which means I have to take leave from work

Orlando persuaded Kate to return to the company, providing me with an opportunity to avoid her for a

while.

However, Orlando didn’t understand why I was hospitalized again After his constant prodding, I finally

told him about my pregnancy and the risk of

miscarriage

“You need to tell your parents!” Orlando insisted that I share the news with my parents, considering that

being pregnant was a big deal, especially since the baby s father was my ex husband.

“Don’t mention it. I’ll tell them later,” I replied immediately

“Are you sure you will?” Orlando questioned back.

“Yes, I will” I responded.

Finally, he gave up.

After hanging up, I rested tiredly, pondering how to break the news to my parents.

A few days later, before I could tell my family anything. I received two unexpected visitors.

Bonnie, seated in a wheelchair, was pushed into the room by Malinda.

Only a week had passed since I last saw her, but she had grown pale and skinny, a stark contrast to

her former vibrant self.

I didn’t see Neil around.

“Irene, I came to say goodbye,” Bonnie said weakly. “Neil has gone to Phenovia to sort out hospital

arrangements for me. I came back to gather my medical records. I shouldn’t be flying in my condition,

but I decided to take the risk.”

I didn’t respond. Her life or death meant nothing to me, Neil would take care of her

As for Neil, I had no reason to blame him

I proposed the divorce, I hid the news of the baby, I didn’t give him any room to choose

“Malinda, I’d like to have a word with Irene alone. Could you step out for a bit? Bonnie asked when she

saw my silence.

Malinda glanced at me, nodded, and left the room, closing the door on her way out

Left alone in the room, Bonnie suddenly laughed. Her eyes gleamed with a kind of triumph that

surprised me.

“Trene, Mr. Whitmore loves me,” her face lit up as she spoke. ‘See how worried he is about me? He

immediately arranged for me to have my surgery in Phenovia. He’s paying for everything, and he’ll be

by my side!

“So what?” I asked, puzzled by her need to brag

If Neil had initiated the divorce and I was forced to accept it, her behavior might have made sense.

But the reality was that I dumped Neil, clearly indicating that I didn’t care who he was with. Yet, Bonnie

seemed to enjoy flaunting their relationship.

“I wont let you ruin my happiness,” Bonnie’s smile gradually faded as she looked at the medicine bottle.

“Are you trying to save your baby?”

Suddenly, a strong sense of unease washed over me. The nurse had just stepped out to buy some

fruit, and Russel wouldn’t visit until after work

I quickly hit the call button, hoping to summon help.

Bonnie suddenly stood up, knocked my hand away, and before I could react, she put her hand on my

shoulder and waist.

The next moment, she pushed me off the bed. I hit the floor hard and let out a scream of pain. Blood

was gushing out from below!

“Your sweet dream of using the baby as a bargaining chip has just burst” Bonnie said, watching me curl

up in pain on the floor. She showed no sympathy, only a victorious smile.

By the time Malinda burst into the room to check on the commotion, Bonnie was back in her

wheelchair, clutching her chest as if in pain. “Malinda, Irene suddenly fell off the bed. Call a doctor, my

chest hurts

Instead of helping me, Malinda pushed Bonnie out to get help.

Soon, the sound of footsteps filled the room as doctors and nurses rushed in. They quickly lifted me

onto the bed and started examining me.

My vision blurred, and I began to lose consciousness. I heard a shrill sound in my ears before I blacked

out.

“Look, darling, he looks so much like you. He’s got your beautiful eyes!”

I don’t know how much time had passed when I heard a voice and slowly opened my eyes.

I found myself back at Sterling Estates. Under the bright sun, the flowers in the garden were blooming

beautifully, and the sweet voice was coming from

there

A woman was bathed in a soft golden glow. Her hair was pinned up, and she was wearing a beautiful

silk dress, holding a baby.

Next to her, Neil was wearing a grey striped shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His strong arms reached

out to take the baby from her.

A gentle smile crossed his face. His usually cold eyes were filled with tenderness as he kissed the

baby. “Yes, he also looks like you” Wap this a glimpse into Neil’s life with Bonnie after their wedding?

Why was I there? Wasn’t I pregnant too? Where was my baby?

I touched my belly and it was flat

Fear gripped me, and I shouted, “Neil, where is my baby?!”

Neil turned to look at me when he heard my voice. But suddenly, I couldn’t see his eyes clearly. The

woman next to him also turned to look at me, and I

was stunned

It was my face?!

She looked at me and smiled slightly. Then, everything was engulfed in white light.

I opened my eyes wide, staring at the familiar ceiling, which slowly came into focus.

“Rena.”

I stared blankly at the ceiling until Neil’s hoarse voice echoed in my ears.

I turned my head mechanically to look at him. His brows were furrowed, dark circles under his eyes,

and stubble on his chin. He looked like he had been

up for a long time.

He called my name affectionately

“Where’s the baby?” My mind was blank, and I could only ask about the baby.

Neil swallowed hard, his eyes reddening with confusion and pain. “Why didn’t you tell me? We’re

divorced, and you’re cruelly taking away my right to be a father, Is this your revenge?”

“Where’s the baby?” I insisted, not wanting to discuss anything else until I heard about the baby

“You fell off the bed. We couldn’t save the baby Neil said, looking down. Every word he spoke felt like a

sharp knife stabbing into my heart.

I’ve lived twice, but never felt as helpless as I do now. It’s as if the last ray of light in my life has been

extinguished.

Suddenly, a strong desire for revenge surged within me. I won’t let Bonnie off!

I abruptly pulled out the needle in my hand, silently got out of bed, and put on my shoes. Bonnie must

be in the same hospital for treatment. She could be right here.

Neil shot up and grabbed my hand right away. “Lie down and chill! You’re in a crap state right now!”

“Where the hell is that bitch Bonnie? She’s the one who killed my baby! I need to see her!” I screamed

at the top of my lungs, as if the craziness from my past life was resurfacing.
