Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 219

My father was out of town for work, so I first called Stella.

"Stella, where are you?" I asked groggily from my bed.

"I'm at the hospital. Quincy started throwing up and having diarrhea out of nowhere, which scared the crap out of me!" Stella responded.

"What the hell? You better get him checked out properly." I advised her worriedly, then hung up.

Next, I dialed Alicia Rider, who was on her way to a business trip.

When I called Barbara, she was having dinner with her parents and Silas.

Since everyone seemed busy, I finally got through to Russel.

The phone rang for a while before someone picked it up. I quickly asked, "Russel, are you free?"

"Sorry, he's in the shower." A young female voice replied.

I was taken aback and quickly checked the name on my phone. It was indeed Russel. But why would a young woman answer his phone?

Before I could ask, she hung up. I was already feeling sick, and this just made my mood plummet.

I didn't want to doubt Russel's loyalty, but his family was against us being together, so I couldn't help but overthink.

When I tried to call him again, his phone was off.

Just as I was about to go downstairs to find some fever medicine, Neil called.

I hung up immediately. I leaned on the wall and the stair railings as I made my way downstairs, then began searching for medicine in the living room.

Suddenly, there was a strong knock on the door. I glanced at the front door of the living room and heard Neil yelling outside, "Irene, open up!"

How did he get inside the yard? I frowned, then remembered I hadn't locked the yard gate last night.

I didn't answer him; I just continued looking for medicine.

"If you don't open the door, I'll call the property management!" Neil warned.

I scoffed. The property management wasn't his to boss around; could he really get them to open my door?

Then it was quiet outside. I collapsed onto the couch, exhausted. I didn't know where my mom kept the medicine box, so I couldn't find the fever medicine.

I had no choice but to order medicine delivery.

Just as I was about to place the order on my phone, I heard the front door being unlocked.

I was surprised, then saw the door being pushed open. A property staff politely said to Neil, "Mr. Whitmore, the door is open."

"Thanks, appreciate it." Neil nodded at the property staff, then let them leave.

I thought I should get a new door.

Neil walked in and casually closed the door behind him. I wanted to confront him seriously, but my discomfort made my words weak, "What are you doing here?"

Without saying a word, Neil walked over, bent down, and put his hand on my forehead to check if I had a fever.

He quickly scolded me, "You're burning up! Are you trying to cook yourself?"

"None of your business. I've already ordered medicine." I jerked away from Neil's hand.

Frowning, Neil went to the kitchen, came back with some pills and a glass of water, and handed them to me.
