Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 439 Seek Help Upon receiving Zacharias’ response, Scarlet was relieved of her anxiety. Nevertheless, upon recollecting the doctor’s caution regarding Zacharias’ inclination towards depression, she found herself experiencing feelings of anxiety and apprehension. She felt an instinctual urge to provide comfort, prompting her to shift the conversation by reminiscing about past events.

Initially, Zacharias was indecisive about his intentions and remained silent while she spoke.

However, as Scarlet elaborated on their tranquil life in Riverdon before Angela’s disruptive influence, he was prompted to recall images from his dreams.

Scarlet’s mood was consistently soured whenever Angela was mentioned, as she attributed the current state of their family to Angela. Though not explicitly stated, Scarlet’s words implied a sense of grievance towards Angela.

Her efforts to provide solace transformed into persistent nagging as she spoke continuously.

“Mom, | am fatigued and desire to rest.” Zacharias abruptly interjected.

Scarlet realized that she should not have focused on negative topics. She ceased speaking and carefully wrapped him in a quilt before departing from the hospital ward.

Zacharias observed Scarlet departing, attentively watching as the door to the ward closed gradually. Upon reflecting on her initial denial of the match results, he further solidified his belief in his compatibility with Fanny.

Zacharias considered contacting other hospitals to make arrangements for a kidney transplant without prior notification to Fanny. Curiously, he pondered the reason for her lack of communication with him during this period.

At that moment, Zacharias’ cell phone rang on the bedside table. Upon answering the call, he heard Fanny's voice on the other end. Neglecting the subject of kidney donation, he apprised her of Joseph's absence and asked her to attend to Scarlet’s emotional welfare.

Upon receiving the news, Fanny was taken aback and inquired, “What happened to Joseph?” Zacharias, however, did not provide further details, offering reassurance before concluding the conversation.

After she departed from the ward, Scarlet contacted James following thorough deliberation. “James, Joseph has been wrongly accused by Angela and is currently detained. Angela’s whereabouts have not been determined.

Can you visit Northland?” While adopting a conversational tone, Scarlet expressed her hope that James would adhere to her request.

Scarlet has experienced notable transformations following her encounter with George, leading to a heightened determination in her decision-making.

During the call, James inquired about Joseph's situation. Scarlet embellished the story and suggested a visit to Northland. She refused to resign herself to fate and was determined to make Angela yield. Her plan was simple. She thought, if James goes to find Angela, Angela wouldn't completely ignore him.

After persistent persuasion, James eventually acquiesced, bringing relief to Scarlet as she departed from the hospital.

Upon arriving home, Scarlet encountered Fanny.

Fanny extended a warm greeting. “Mom, you have returned.” Despite experiencing a unique tenderness towards Fanny, Scarlet’s conflicting emotions surfaced when contemplating Zacharias reluctance to donate a kidney. She thought, my words swayed Zacharias’ thoughts, but it is also essential to address Fanny's perspective and provide reassurance.

“Fanny, the match with Zacharias was unsuccessful, but James will help locate an alternative source for a kidney donation,” Scarlet said.

Fanny blinked, feeling relieved. “It is fortunate that the match with Zacharias did not succeed. He probably won't be as negative as before.” “I have recommended that he collaborate with the treatment. He ought to heed the advice.” Scarlet let out a sigh. She was uncertain if it was the appropriate course of action, but she knew articulating this would improve everyone's emotional state.

Fanny observed Scarlet’s expression with a sense of uncertainty. She could not rid herself of the sensation that the match with Zacharias had been successful. Otherwise, Zacharias wouldn't have abruptly contacted her earlier. Despite not answering the call. initially and Zacharias not mentioning the match when she returned the call, her intuition was typically accurate. While she had faith in her intuition, she found herself unable to broach the subject of kidney donation on her own. Nevertheless, despite the potential success of the match, Zacharias and Scarlet concealed it from her and misled her, leading to her anger. She thought the individual who previously pretended to be a suitable donor was Zacharias, and now he is also the one showing reluctance to donate a kidney.

Observing Fanny's lack of further inquiry, Scarlet exhaled a sigh of relief.

Upon assisting Scarlet into the room, Fanny suddenly realized and inquired casually, “Where is Joseph?” Scarlet’s countenance transformed, and her eyes brimmed with bitterness as she said, “Angela was responsible for Joseph's apprehension by the police. He will be detained for several days.” Fanny appeared taken aback upon hearing the news and promptly inquired for further information, asking, “What did Angela do?” She thought, no wonder Zacharias didn’t want to say much before. It turns out to be related to Angela. She experienced discomfort as she recalled Zacharias‘ abrupt act of defending Angela in the past: “Angela defamed Joseph and levied unfounded allegations against him, leading to Joseph's arrest by the police without a thorough investigation. In what manner could Joseph have committed such an act? However, the most troubling aspect is that Angela went as far as having someone mimic his handwriting and paying off an individual to falsely identify Joseph. Even if the evidence is falsified, it was planted by that individual. What was the manner in which it cto rest on Joseph’s head? | believe that this situation may be part of a conspiracy orchestrated by Angela. She is engaging, in suspicious behavior, attempting to falsely incriminate him.” Scarlet expressed frustration when she raised this issue, feeling a lack of validation from Zacharias and a persistent need to express her emotions.

Fanny attentively listened, experiencing increasing anxiety as she continued to listen. She recalled assigning Kaydron the task of handling Angela. The decision for Fanny to involve Kaydron in handling Angela stemmed from a dual purpose, to create challenges for Angela and to instigate problems for Kaydron. Regardless of Kaydron’s ability to cause trouble for Angela, Fanny would derive benefits from such actions. When Scarlet mentions that Joseph's directive to have someone place stickers has been discovered, Fanny experiences a sense of panic. She expressed concern that Kaydron might be apprehended and subsequently reveal her secrets.

Fanny made a concerted effort to quell the panic and soothe Scarlet. “Mom, please don’t be sad or angry. It is detrimental to one’s health. Let us collaborate to devise a strategy for rescuing Joseph. Or | could speak with Angela.” The word served to provide comfort to Scarlet as well as to herself. Fanny believed it was necessary to ensure that Kaydron was more cautious to avoid leaving any evidence of her instructions to him.

Scarlet was gently stroked on the chest by Fanny, who spoke soothingly. “You are still thoughtful, Fanny.” “Mom, please don’t be angry. | will now converse with Angela to request Joseph's release.” Fanny's statements lacked persuasiveness. Despite not rising from her seat, her demeanor profoundly resonated with Scarlet, evoking a heartfelt response.

Instead, Scarlet restrained her and provided comfort. “It's okay, Fanny, you need not concern yourself with these matters. It is advisable to concentrate on academic pursuits and prioritize maintaining good health. | have requested James to manage task.” Fanny experienced a slight sense of relief and silently indicated agreement. She harbored thoughts but refrained from sharing them with Scarlet. After sthad passed, she returned to her
