Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 222

"Can you shut up? You're so annoying!" Neil said, turning his head coldly.

Kitty shrugged. "I don't bother other people. I only bother you."

Giving her Neil's phone number was the right decision. She knew how to win Neil's heart better than Bonnie did.

Ignoring their bickering, I dragged my tired body into the living room, closed the door, and lay down on the sofa to rest.

My phone rang. I saw it was Neil and I declined right away.

I fell asleep on the sofa. When I woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. I had a quick breakfast and went to work.

I had a business trip in a few days to discuss a partnership with a counter supplier. So I had to sort out things in the office and completely eliminate the dangers around my mom.

As I drove past Neil's house, I saw Kitty coming out. She was wearing a black denim jacket and bell-bottom jeans, lazily stretching and revealing her slim waist.

Had she stayed overnight with Neil? Impressive.

I ignored certain emotions in my heart and drove away.

"Ms. Finch, the surveillance video has been retrieved. When can you come to the hospital to watch it?" I received a call from the hospital just as I got to the office.

"I'll be there at noon!" I replied.

At noon, I skipped lunch and went straight to the hospital. I quickly saw the surveillance video from that night.

A slightly overweight man, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, quickly entered my mom's ward. Less than two minutes later, he left in a hurry.

I was almost sure he was the attacker, but his face could not be seen in the surveillance, only his rough body shape.

I immediately reported everything to the police and also gave them the surveillance footage.

When my dad came back and learned about it, he was shocked and angry, but now all we could do was wait for the police to investigate.

"Dad, I want to move to another place." I suddenly said to my dad.

"What's wrong? Is Neil bothering you?" My dad immediately asked.

I shook my head. "No. Sunflower Terrace is closer to the office, so I want to move there."

My dad was retiring after his birthday next month. Before that, he still needed to hold his position. The company still largely depended on me.

He thought for a moment and then sighed, "Alright. I'm also planning to stay in the dormitory at work. It feels empty at home without your mom."

"Okay. Take care of yourself. Mom will wake up sooner or later. We still need to take care of her then." I reminded him.

"Sure." My dad nodded.

After discussing things with my dad, I quickly moved my stuff to Sunflower Terrace. Neil was not home the day I moved, which saved me a lot of trouble.

The day before my business trip, I invited Russel to dine at my apartment.

He readily agreed, "I'll be there around eight; is that okay?"

"Sure. We're having barbecue." I replied.

This was the first time I asked Russel out. He sounded thrilled.

I went to the supermarket and bought many ingredients. In the evening, I started preparing. I washed and packed the ingredients, set up the grill, and brought out various seasonings and drinks.

Suddenly, it started raining outside. Cold wind started to blow in from the balcony, and I ran to close the balcony door but unintentionally remembered the stormy night in Caladonia when Neil helped me close the balcony door.
