Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 375

I instantly thought of Neil and Hiram.

Seeing Karina already working at the hospital here, I guessed they might have been still around, not having left.

If it was really them, Karina would have probably come by soon.

I was then in the maternity ward.

Hiram's got a head injury, so he probably wouldn't turn up here. I was a bit nervous, but I tried to comfort myself and keep cool so as not to stress out my body.

"Rena, guess who I just saw?" My mom came back; she looked a bit tense.

"Who?" I kind of had an inkling of who she might have run into, but I didn't say it outright.

My mom let out a deep sigh, "I can't believe I ran into Neil here. He's still around, and it seems like Hiram's been hurt. I saw him in the hospital lobby holding Hiram, but he didn't notice me. Talk about lucky."

My mom was clearly relieved.

"I hope Hiram's injuries aren't severe." I said.

On the one hand, I felt that the kid was innocent, I couldn't wish for him to get hurt. On the other hand, I hoped Hiram was just lightly injured so they could have left the hospital sooner, lowering the chances of us bumping into each other.

My mom's heart wasn't that cold, and of course she hoped Hiram was okay. We were just chit-chatting when my mom suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, Russel said he'd come visit. I better tell him not to; it'd be a mess if he runs into Neil."

"Karina already knows I'm pregnant and that I'm here." I told my mom about the call I had just received.

"What? She already knows?" My mom was quite shocked. She was most concerned about the babies in my belly at that time. The news being known to Karina was not good news for us.

"Yes, and she seems very interested in who the father of the child is. I didn't tell her, but she would definitely suspect it's Neil's. What are we going to do?" I felt really annoyed thinking about that possibility. I needed to take deep breaths to keep calm.

I still remember the previous time I was pushed off the bed by Bonnie, and I had a miscarriage. Although my baby was unstable to begin with, there was still a glimmer of hope.

What I feared the most was that the two babies in my belly would have to face danger again.

Even if they were born, I would still worry about someone wanting to hurt them. Even Neil wasn’t an exception!

My mom kept silent for a while, then said, "We'll go back once the babies are born. I'll hire some servants to help out at home to keep an eye out and not let suspicious people in. This way, your dad and I would feel more at ease."

Those thoughts might have been overly cautious, but because of the babies, my mom, dad, and I were all extremely on edge. We had to think of everything possible.

In the end, my mom didn't call Russel. I thought if Russel did come and was discovered by Karina and Neil, it wouldn't have mattered. It might have even been better to have them misunderstand that Russel was the father.

I didn't want to be legally tied to Russel because of the babies, I just wanted to mislead Karina a bit, so she might give up on the idea of my babies.
