Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 247

Oscar insisted on coming to the hospital to visit me. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed.

"Irene, you've lost weight again," Oscar said with worry as soon as he saw me. "Are you having a tough time lately?"

He knew what was going on in my family, so even if I didn't respond to him recently, he didn't hassle me. He was worried about my mood.

I looked at my arm. Indeed, I was thinner. If this kept up, I would be nothing but skin and bones.

"No matter how much I eat, I can't gain weight. How about you? How have you been?" I asked, smiling from my hospital bed.

Oscar sighed and said, "I'm planning to move to another city for work. Bonnie hasn't stopped pestering me, and she ruined my job."

I was shocked to hear that Bonnie had messed up Oscar's job.

Bonnie was really brutal to Oscar. She previously had someone beat him up, and now she destroyed his job. She was obviously trying to make it impossible for Oscar to continue living in Rosemont.

"Do you have any plans?" I asked with concern.

"I'm not sure yet; I'll take it one step at a time. Irene, I might not be able to visit you as often," Oscar said, his eyes full of reluctance.

I reassured him, "Transportation is so convenient nowadays. It's not hard to meet. Once your life is stable, I can come to see you. You know I'm having a hard time now."

I concluded with a self-deprecating laugh.

Oscar quickly nodded, "Everything will be okay, Irene. I'll work hard and make something of myself. I'll help you as much as I can in the future. You can see me as your little brother, and I'll treat you like my big sister."

Oscar's words were comforting. I believe in his character and abilities. Even if he changed jobs, he would definitely make a name for himself.

However, I never thought that this would be a wish that could never be fulfilled.

Three days later, I was discharged from the hospital.

The first thing I did after I was discharged was to go back to work and then meet with the president of SinoGems Corporation to discuss signing a contract.

Like a fortune teller, Neil accurately predicted what I would do next, so he showed up at the company entrance on time, waiting to go in with me.

Rubbing my temples, I said resignedly, "Neil, you don't have to accompany me. As long as you refuse SinoGems Corporation, they will probably sign with me."

"I'm having lunch with Louis Aldridge near the company. You go about your business, and I'll go to lunch," Neil said, leaning back comfortably in the back seat of the car.

Bailey, our driver, couldn't help but glance back at me.

The drive from Whitmore Co. to my company was not short. If Neil wanted to have lunch with Louis, he could have met him there. Why did he have to hitch a ride with me?

He really had too much time on his hands.

But I didn't intend to say anything more. As long as he was willing to refuse to sign with SinoGems Corporation, that was fine. It wasn't as if he was helping me, so I didn't feel any obligation.

"Bailey, let's go," I ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Finch." Bailey started the car, heading towards the agreed hotel.

On the way, I didn't talk much with Neil, but my mind was filled with thoughts. I couldn't help but think about the conspiracy theory Stella had mentioned before. Could Louis be the one who leaked the scandal about Whitmore Co.'s illegitimate child? If it was him, would Neil find out?
