Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 307

Helen was ready. She jogged over, holding a lunchbox in her hands.

When she saw the girl's mother, she quickly hid the box behind her back.

The mother lowered her head in embarrassment.

I held out my hand to Helen and said, "Bring it out and share some with her."

Helen shook her head. "No, this is to help you recover. Mr. Hilton specifically ordered that you have to eat this, no matter what."

That reminded me of what the doctor had said—that it might be very difficult for me to ever get pregnant again.

Pursing my lips, I obediently ate the food. Chatting with the girl's mother, I learned her name was Tania and picked up a few everyday phrases. Wearing the new shoes I had bought her earlier, her plump figure jogged back to her house and returned with a book. "This is our language. You can learn it," she said.

I took the heavily worn book. It looked like an old primer, with not a single page fully intact.

People here could barely secure food and basic necessities, let alone focus on education.

I lowered my eyes and turned to Helen. "I just thought of a task for you. Teach them how to read, write, and speak our language."

Helen gave me a thumbs-up in agreement. "We'll start tomorrow, but right now you need to..."

She leaned in and whispered the rest in my ear.

Shortly after, we said our goodbyes to Tania.

Helen pulled me into the small house we had cleaned up. As soon as she nudged me inside, I felt an arm pull me deeper into the room.

The familiar scent of sandalwood washed over me, instantly putting my mind at ease.

He leaned one arm lightly against the wall and wrapped the other firmly yet gently around me. His warm breath brushed past my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

I looked up into his eyes. We were so close that a slight movement would bring our lips together. But instead, I smiled and asked, "How long can you stay?"

He checked his watch. "Ten minutes."
