Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 306

After Lily left, Helen and I came out of the inner room. The people swarmed over to divide the candy.

They had no other food; they survived each day solely on the energy from these sweets, barely clinging to life.

Helen stomped her foot in anger. "She fooled us all back then. She's just as wicked as Princess Harriet. If Princess Harriet were still around, the two of them could at least keep each other in check."

I didn't continue the topic. Instead, I said, "We need to find a way to get some real food."

"Mr. Hilton is coming to see you tonight,"

Helen whispered in my ear. For some reason, the teasing tone in her voice made my face flush instantly.

"Didn't he say it was too dangerous?" Ever since I parted ways with Max and watched him walk away, my stomach had been in knots.

His responsibilities were far heavier than mine, yet he never gave up or complained that he couldn't handle it.

Instead, he always provided me with the greatest sense of security.

"Mr. Hilton must be head over heels in love," Helen said, looking at me with a smile. My face turned even redder.

"He's probably just worried about you," Helen added, returning to a serious tone.

I nodded slightly. "Tell him to bring some rice."

My words earned a loud burst of laughter from Helen. "Claire, how can you be so cute? That's the man you love! He's risking everything to come see you, and all you can think about is asking him to bring rice?"

I rubbed the back of my hand and sat down on a low mud wall. "I'll just wait right here for him to bring some food."

Helen smiled helplessly, waving at me as she went to make secret preparations to welcome Max.

Sitting there, I looked out toward the opposite riverbank. In a daze, it felt as if everything had changed in an instant.

I used to think Claude would change for the better in this lifetime, as long as I tried hard to avoid getting romantically involved with him. But I was wrong.
