Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 362

"Who is it?" Neil asked, a bit puzzled.

"I'll go check it out; you go take a shower."

I had a hunch that the person outside was Snow, aka Karina, because my medication was all out, and she always delivered new ones when I ran out.

I never understood why she didn't give me more at once, but now it seemed to make sense.

Since she knew Bonnie, how could she not know about me and Neil? I remembered that she even threatened to jump into a river when I got married to Neil.

So she was deliberately finding ways to get closer to me.

"A shower?" Neil seemed a bit confused as to why I suddenly asked him to take a shower.

"Yeah, you smell like booze; go take a shower. Today is my ovulation day." I made up an excuse, one that would make Neil obedient immediately.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Neil's eyes changed instantly. He nodded his head with anticipation in his voice. "Alright, wait for me."

"Make sure you clean up nicely; no coming out without clothes on." I pushed Neil towards the bathroom.

Once Neil was in the bathroom, I closed the door to muffle any sounds, and then I went to open the door. As expected, it was Karina. She was still dressed in black, but this time without glasses, only wearing a mask.

Her eyes were natural; it seemed she didn't know I knew she was Karina.

She lifted up the medication in her hand and handed it to me. "Ms. Finch, your medication."

"OK, thanks," I took the medication but didn't invite her in to sit as I used to. I used to be curious and puzzled when I saw her, but now my heart ached.

"No problem; remember to come for treatment in three days." Karina began to smile as her gaze fell on the table in the living room. "Do you have a guest today?"

I turned back and saw the water I had just poured for Russel, half of which was still left. The two cups on the table indeed looked like a guest had come.

I hummed in acknowledgment, not going into detail.

"Is it the same gentleman from last time? Your ex-husband, I believe." Karina's topic seemed to intentionally drift towards Neil. I knew she was trying to fish for information about Neil from me.

After all these years, even if she came back, she shouldn't directly look for Neil so suddenly.

Especially with a child involved.

But then again, wouldn't she mind if she heard that Neil and Bonnie were getting engaged? How could she still be so calm?

"It's not him." I denied it instantly.

"Really? I saw his car downstairs; I thought it was him." Karina didn't hold back; it seemed intentional. "He can’t be here. He's about to get engaged; why would he come to see you?"

I forced a smile and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, indeed."

Suddenly, the sound of water came from the bathroom. Karina followed the sound with her eyes and then asked me, "Ms. Finch, may I use your bathroom?"

The bathroom was right next to the shower room; it was only separated by a glass partition. Neil was taking a shower, so I couldn't let Karina in.

I rejected her. "The bathroom is broken; a repairman is fixing it. I'm sorry."
