Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 216

Helen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sure, I can get you a ride."

"No, I can take a cab myself. I'd rather not make a big scene going to school."

Helen didn't object. Instead, she said, "Then I'm coming with you for safety. We can't have a repeat of yesterday's incident. It's so dangerous."

I didn't refuse. Another refusal might make her suspicious.

When we arrived at school, I immediately looked for Allen. The moment Allen saw me, he was surprised and then stretched out his arms for a hug. However, spotting Helen behind me, he shrugged and said, "What, brought your own surveillance today?"

I cut him off, "She's here for my protection, don't start."

"What danger could you possibly be in at school?" Allen covered his mouth as he spoke, "Well, considering the lab explosion, come check out our new lab. It's absolutely state-of-the-art. The Hilton Group really went all out, all world-class equipment."

As Allen led me towards the lab, he raised an eyebrow at Helen and said, "Lab rules, only staff allowed inside."

Helen, ready to throw a punch, was stopped by me, "Cool it, Helen. It's all good inside. Max has replaced all the equipment; there shouldn't be any issues. I'll just have a quick word with the professor and be right out."

Helen huffed, stood by the door with her arms crossed, and glared at Allen.

Once we were in the lab, Allen turned to me, "Alright, spill. What do you need?"

I looked at Allen, my reliable lab partner, and said, "I need to see Richard."
