Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 336

I had never seen Richard hit anyone, but today he slapped Lily with such force that five distinct fingerprints instantly appeared on her fair, delicate skin.

Blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth.

Some secrets were meant to be taken to the grave.

I handed a handkerchief to Lily. “Whatever the reason, it’s no excuse to hurt others.”

Then I glanced at Richard and gave him a small smile.

He couldn’t decipher my expression. His body tensed slightly before he said, “It’s been a long day. Go get some rest.”

I didn’t refuse. I walked ahead, pretending I was ready to rest, and after a quick bite and washing up, I went back to my room.

Seeing me return to my room, Richard glanced at his watch. “I still have some business to take care of before I turn in. See you tomorrow.”

I tilted my head in acknowledgment.

I checked my phone. Max had really gone the entire day without contacting me.

Even though I had blocked him, he could have easily called Richard.

“Did Max try to call you today?” I couldn't stop myself from asking Richard.

He shook his head.

“If you miss him that much, you should unblock him and clear things up.”

I shrugged and closed the door.

I had just lied down when Helen knocked. “Claire, may I come in?”

“Come in.” I saw Helen holding a bowl of soup and knew she was here to feed me again.

“It seems Max contacted you today.”
