Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

4/4 Chapter 344 My Family Consists of Only One Person At this point, neither of them spoke. Zacharias undressed and lay down on the sick bed.

Angela took her needle and concentrated on applying acupuncture to him.

As the acupuncture session progressed, when Angela was removing the needles from his back, Zacharias spoke again. “I didn’t expect you to still be willing to cand treat me. | thought you were angry about what happened before.” “What happened?” Angela asked, raising an eyebrow as she took out the needles.

Zacharias thought she had forgotten, paused for a moment, and then added, “They will bring Fanny back home. | didn’t expect this to happen because it was not what was promised, but | couldn’t stop it. I'm sorry.” With a frown, Angela pulled out the needles. “Wasn't she sent away later?” She was aware of Fanny's return, and Scarlet had caused a commotion with her at the time, but she refused to give in.

In the end, Fanny was indeed sent out of the Kins Family again.

“They...” Zacharias hesitated, realizing that Angela was not forgetful but truly kept in the dark.

She didn’t know that Fanny had been brought back to the Kins Family again. James and Joseph had kept it a secret so well.

He didn’t know either until he went hto get something before leaving and found Fanny’s room being cleaned again.

Fanny was in Northland, but the Kins Family cared about her. Especially George, who stayed. at home, kept mentioning Fanny and even said that Fanny would bring Angela back to Riverdon.

The entire Kins Family, except for George, who deluded himself, did not believe that Fanny could bring Angela back to Riverdon.

It was also the reason he showed up in Northland.

Joseph and James agreed to send Fanny to Northland mainly because Fanny had once again becfamous in Northland, and the scandal of being a third party had made it to the Riverdon Daily, so she needed to lay low in Northland.

1/4 Joseph cup with the idea of transferring to Northland himself, bringing Zacharias and Scarlet to seek medical treatment in Northland.

“What happened to them?” Angela sensed that something was wrong, gesturing for him to lie down for acupuncture while asking.

Zacharias slowly lay down and finally confessed, “Fanny, she went back hagain.” “Is that so?” Angela pinched the silver needle, asking expressionlessly.

Before leaving Riverdon, she had no interest in the Kins Family's affairs as she was busy preparing for training.

However, she did not expect that Joseph and James were still up to their old tricks, bringing Fanny back into the Kins Family.

“Yes,” Zacharias replied affirmatively, feeling guilty. He didn’t dare to look at Angela's face, instead saying, “If you're upset, you don’t have to treat me.” He knew that Angela had truly helped him every tshe treated him, and he was genuinely grateful to her.

Therefore, when his brothers in the Kins Family did such a thing again, he couldn't ignore it or feel guiltless.

“I don’t do anything halfway.” Although she was speechless, Angela continued to insert the needles without stopping.

Her response took Zacharias by surprise.

“But you know now, you can choose to just letgo on like this.” He lay there, but his words. were just as firm.

1 Angela put down another needle and repeated, “I said, | don’t do things halfway. And even if you wantto stop now, Joseph will still cto bother me.” She lacked the tand energy to keep going back and forth. If Zacharias wasn’t in Northland, she would have refused without hesitation. However, Joseph brought Zacharias to Northland, so there was no need for her to refuse.

Having lived two lifetimes, in her previous life she didn’t live authentically. In this lifetime, she wished to live freely and follow her heart.

“I understand.” With a quiet sigh, Zacharias said, “I'll let Joseph know not to bother you anymore.” Angela glanced at him and met Zacharias’ gaze.

However, there was a lack of vitality in his eyes.

2/4 Seeing the emotions in his eyes, she questioned, a little shocked, “Why? Why did you think this way?” Angela had never seen Zacharias give up on treatment and express himself in such a way- not in this life or the last.

She felt like she had overlooked something.

“It's nothing. | just feel like as your brother, | have been neglectful. From the moment you returned to the Kins Family, until now, we have..., Zacharias paused to catch his breath before continuing. “We haven't been good to you. So, | feel uncasy.” He appeared uneasy and awkward, with no other expression on his face.

His change was not sudden; she had sensed it even back in Riverdon when they were together.

She assumed it was all in her head, though, so she ignored it at the time.

Now that she heard Zacharias say it, she understood it wasn’t a figment of her imagination; rather, it was real.

He had indeed changed a bit, and they were both slow to realize it.

Angela said, “You feel bad? Then live your life well.”, Among the four Kins brothers, she had the least dislike for Zacharias, and he had done the least to disgust her.

$ She would most likely pick him to live with if she could choose between the Kins brothers.

“But I...” Zacharias looked at her, surprised, and opened his mouth to say something, but didn’t.

“Shh. | need to focus. He hesitated, but Angela ignored it, saying just one line and focusing on the acupuncture.

Although the mysterious needles were magical, they were also draining, and she didn’t want to keep distracting herself by talking to Zacharias.

Zacharias still didn’t speak up until the acupuncture was done.

“Angela, Jonathan, and the others... They're just oblivious to the truth,” he said abruptly as Angela prepared to leave the ward after putting away the needles.

3/4 “Someday, they will understand, and | will help you. Then you can go home. We have always been a family.” Zacharias’ voice was a little less weak than before, but it still had a hint of uncertainty as he spoke softly.

Angela glanced back at him, frowned, and replied, “You're overthinking it. | never thought about going back to the Kins Family.” For her, the Kins Family was never a good place. It was a predicament, a cage, and definitely not her home.

She saw Zacharias’ expression change. Even though he had received acupuncture and his face was no longer as pale-in fact, it was slightly pink-he looked extremely ashamed.

“But-“Zacharias wanted to say something more after hearing Angela's words.

Straight away, Angela cut him off, saying, “There’s no ‘but. You're not my family. My family consists of only one person.” She had already guessed what Zacharias wanted to say. He tried to emphasize the concept of family, but she didn’t let him.

Once she had finished her sentence, Angela turned to leave the ward.
