Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 515

Just as I was chatting, my mom gave me a call.

Things with Lucas were almost entirely ironed out by now. She and Dad were now managing his family

business, meaning they would be staying there for a longer time. She suggested me to move there with

Serena and Brandon. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“You’d better not go back to Eldoria. It wouldn’t be convenient if Russel returns there too.” my mother’s

tone was a tad solemn. “Your father and I don’t have any other expectations. We just hope you can live

a good life with the kids. As for marriage…”

My mom didn’t go on, but I knew what she was hinting at. They wanted me not to be entangled in any

more troubles with neither Neil nor Russel.

“I’ll head over after some time.” I replied.

I couldn’t just head over now. The secret of Karina and Dylan was like a black hole, pulling me to unveil

it. Moreover, I had this strong hunch that even if I avoided Karina by moving to my parents’ place, our

paths would cross again in the future.

Instead of being haunted by her once again in the future, I’d rather stay here and solve the mystery

once and for all.

“Why waiting? You’ve been in Rosemont for a while, and both Neil and Russel are there too. How can

your father and I be at ease?” My mom disagreed. She wanted me to move over immediately.

“I have some matters to settle. Don’t worry, Mom. But there’s something I really need your help with.” I

responded.

“What is it?” Mom asked.

“I want to send Serena and Brandon to your place. Can you please look after them for a while? I’ll

return once I’m done with the matters here.” I expressed my worries about their safety in Rosemont.

Not only I worried about Neil’s suspicion, but I was also afraid of Karina’s intention. She was a ruthless

being. She would be a great danger for my children’s safety if she believed that Serena and Brandon

might threat her place in the Whitmore family.

My parents were busy managing Lucas’ company, but I figured they could spare someone to look after

the kids, along with a couple of babysitters.

My mom understood me well, knowing that I, ever so caring for the children, wouldn’t suggest this if I

didn’t see the need. “Rena, has Neil brought you a lifetime of trouble? Even the kids have to suffer.”

she sighed.

I bit my lips and refrained from answering. I couldn’t refute the truth.

“Can you send them over, or do you want me to pick them up?” Mom asked, sounding resigned.

“I’ll bring them over.” I replied.

The trip from here to my parents’ place was a bit of a journey. I would need a nanny to help me with the

kids. But I had to do it for their safety.

Stella was taken aback when she heard that I was sending the kids away but quickly understood my

reasoning. “I’ll have Eliza accompany you to help with the kids. Can you be sure to drive?” Stella

arranged everything neatly.

“Yes, and I’ll set off first thing tomorrow,” I nodded.

The following morning, I packed up the kids’ stuff and, accompanied by Eliza, readied to set off in

Stella’s car.

As I was about to start the car, Neil’s vehicle pulled up, effectively blocking my path.

He stepped out of his car and knocked on my window. I wound down the window reluctantly, “What is

it?”

“I need your help with something,” Neil cast a glance at Eliza and the kids in the back seat, his brows

furrowing, “Where are you guys going?”

“What do you need help with?” I didn’t answer but asked instead.

“Hiram is currently at Sterling Estates. I need someone I can trust to watch over him for a while.” Neil’s

words left me surprised.

Was he asking me to look after Hiram?

I didn’t know that Faith had brought Hiram from Eldoria directly and settled him at Sterli Estates. But

why didn’t Neil just ask Faith to look after Hiram there?

“Can’t do that. Go find someone else.” I rejected outright. Hiram wasn’t my kid, and I did have the time

or emotional capacity for it.

“My mom had an incident. I can’t think of anyone else but you,” His tone was heavy. I was startled,

what had happened to Faith?

I turned to look at Eliza and the kids, then I got out of the car. “Let’s talk over there.”

I was mainly concerned about Faith’s situation

Neil followed me to a spot a distance away from the car, where I asked, “What happened to Faith?”

“Emotionally unstable. I had her sent back to my dad’s place. Hiram can’t be left in her care now.” Neil’s

brows furrowed even more, “When I found out Karina was also in Rosemont, she had already brought

Hiram over. She wouldn’t let Karina see Hiram and had him staying at Sterling Estates. Now, Hiram is

throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat.”

So that was it. The news about Karina must have upset Faith, whose emotional state was already

fragile.

It was a bit unmerciful to hide Hiram at Sterling Estates. But what Karina had done truly didn’t deserve

to be a mother.

“Hiram doesn’t like me. What do you want me to do?” I said helplessly.

“I don’t need you to do anything. Just watch over him and make sure he doesn’t leave Sterling Estates.

I can’t trust anyone else.” Neil explained.

So, I was to be a mobile monitor?

Hiram was prone to running away from home, and an average person couldn’t handle him. With

Karina’s capabilities, should she bribe someone to let Hiram go, the consequences would be

unimaginable.

“I don’t have the time.” I refused, not wanting to get into a staring contest with that little rascal. Even if I

did have the time, I wouldn’t go

“I can’t be distracted with Hiram’s antics right now. You can propose a trade-off.” Neil, ever the

businessman, went straight to negotiations.

I instinctively wanted to refuse, but a condition suddenly flashed in my mind, and I blurted out, “Fine, I

do have one bargain. Leave the Dawson Group alone.”

Neil’s expression darkened significantly at my words. He questioned icily, “Are you worried about

Russel?”

“He’s already backed off. Why can’t you let it go? Is it fun to mutually destroy each other?” I planned to

take this opportunity to convince Neil.

“Who says he’s backed off?” Neil’s eyes were cold as ice, “Do you think he would back off so easily?

And there’s also Louis, who is not so easy to handle.”
