Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 265

"Neil, can you help me find Oscar?" I didn't have time to think about anything else. My first instinct was to ask Neil for help.

"Nope." Neil coldly rejected.

"He's at his wit's end thanks to Bonnie and is about to leave Rosemont. Now I can't reach him, which probably means he's in trouble. This is a life-and-death matter! Do something good!" I grabbed Neil's arm and said.

I genuinely cared for Oscar like a younger brother. If something really happened to him, I had to find a way to help.

Anger flashed in Neil's eyes, "Why do you care about him so much?"

"Nothing happened between us, but he's my friend. He genuinely cares for me, so it's only natural that I care for him." I said quickly. The next second, I felt deflated, "Never mind, I'll call the cops myself."

I turned to leave.

Neil muttered something under his breath, then quickly caught up with me, "Alright, alright. I'll help you find him, okay?"

"Really?" I was somewhat delighted. If Neil was willing to help, we could surely find him faster.

"I'll let you know within two days, but I have one condition." Neil stared at me.

I had already agreed to stay at Sterling Estates for a month, so one more condition wouldn’t hurt. I nodded readily, "Shoot."

"No matter what happens in the future, don't give Russel another chance." Neil said firmly. He stared at me, waiting for my answer.

I had no intention of getting involved with Russel again, so despite feeling uncomfortable, I could accept Neil's condition.

After a few seconds of silence, I agreed, "Okay. You'll handle the stuff about my dad and finding Oscar. I'll go to the office every day, but no matter how late, I'll come back to Sterling Estates."

"Mhm." Neil replied, "Let's head back."

In the deep of the night, Neil drove me back to Sterling Estates. Ryan and Faith had already gone to bed. The villa was quiet, and we tacitly headed upstairs.

Neil stopped me at the entrance of the master bedroom, “You’re sleeping here. I’ll take the guest room.”

I silently entered the room and closed the door behind me.

I had lived at Sterling Estates for five years before, so even after two or three years, I quickly got used to the large bed and the familiar yet unfamiliar scent in the air.

Before going to bed, I took a bath and went to the dressing room. The wardrobe that I had previously emptied was now filled with women’s clothes. They were all brand-new luxury brands. Neil wasn’t kidding when he said he had prepared everything.

The shower products were the ones I used to use. They smelled exactly the same.

That night, I had a nightmare about Oscar disappearing. In my dream, I looked for him for a long time, only to find him lying motionless in a terrifying place, no longer breathing.

When I woke up, I felt incredibly drained. The nightmare had taken a toll on me. As I stared at the sky outside, I felt a little dazed.

There was a knock on the door, and then I heard Neil's voice, "Are you up?"

"Yeah, I'm getting up." I quickly got out of bed, freshened up, changed, and swiftly applied some light makeup.

By the time I opened the bedroom door, half an hour had passed, but Neil was still waiting for me.

I smiled at him, "You really didn’t have to wait for me."
