Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 507

Neil certainly didn't arrive with Russel, but they made their grand entrance together.

I find it challenging to explain this uncanny connection to Stella.

"They didn't come together." I simply clarified.

"Alright, he hasn't spotted us yet. You should get out now. I'll grab my purse, and we'll head straight home." Stella suggested.

I turned and walked a good distance away, waiting for Stella to reappear with her bag. After a few moments passed, I began to worry and decided to look for her.

Just as I suspected, Neil grabbed the opportunity to keep Stella occupied, because I just went out with Russel and didn’t return. At this point, Stella was rolling her eyes in exasperation.

Neil was holding her petite, fashionable handbag. Upon seeing me return, she sarcastically remarked, "If this wasn't a limited edition, I'd have dumped it by now!"

"Go." Neil tossed the bag at Stella, uttering the single word with disdain. His intention was clearly to have me come find Stella.

Stella caught her bag but didn't move. "I'm not leaving. Whatever you have to say to her, say it in front of me."

Neil looked at the immovable Stella speechlessly.

"What I'm curious about, Neil, is what could you possibly have to say to Rena?" Stella sat and crossed her legs, looking utterly relaxed. She 'hmphed' before continuing, "Let me hear it. I'll analyze it for you."

Neil, of course, had no interest in wasting words on Stella. He stood up, walked over and grabbed my hand, intending to lead me away.

I pulled my hand away from Neil and stated coldly, "Stella is right. Whatever you have to say, say it here. There's no need for private discussion."

Just then, Stella's phone rang. She quickly retreated to a quieter area to take the call. I was left to face off with Neil.

Within a matter of minutes, neither Neil nor I had spoken a word. Then, Stella returned looking quite anxious. "Rena, we need to hurry back. Your child isn't feeling well!"

Upon hearing this, my mind went into overdrive. "What's wrong?"

"Our nanny called, saying Serena just started vomiting suddenly. It’s quite severe, as she’s also having a diarrhea. I asked the nanny to take Serena to the hospital. We should head there directly!" Stella grabbed my hand, rushing us out the door.

I was panicked, regretting having gone out tonight. If I were by my child's side, I would've noticed her discomfort immediately.

This area was busy and the night life had just kicked off, so it was difficult to hail a cab. Stella and I had both had drinks earlier and hadn't driven here. As we stood on the sideline, desperately trying to hail a cab, it felt as though the universe was playing a cruel joke on us.

That was until Neil's car pulled up in front of us. Without waiting for him to offer, I climbed into the passenger seat, with Stella following suit in the back.

"Could you drop me at the hospital?" I asked Neil.

"Sure." Neil didn't waste any time. Stella gave him the hospital address and we sped off into the night.

Fifteen minutes later, I burst into the pediatric emergency room of the hospital. Our nanny was there, holding my daughter, Serena. The doctor had examined her, suspected a gastrointestinal infection as the cause of the vomiting and diarrhea, and recommended IV fluids.
