Chapter 92: Fame and Freedom (8)

Rachel was already sitting in with her arms crossed thinking about what the doctor said, the girl who was about fourteen was clearly malnourished and although the slap on her face was recent, she had no indication of being physically abused. Other than that, she was running a fever.

The man seemed to think she was the mother and blamed her for harming her child. Until she explained she was the child mother and was willing to pay for her medical bills. After paying Rachel had called her Mike saying she'll be out for a bit longer as for the driver he's taking a nap in the car.

After a while she had fallen asleep waiting for the girl to wake up. By the time she did Rachel woke up to the girl calmly observing her like she was dreaming.

"Are you awake?" She stretched she caught a glimpse outside, the sun was setting. Rachel then finally got a good look the girl and felt that she was unique and…

[Rachel this girl is the one who was reborn]

'So that's why? How old is she mentally?'

[forty]

'I see' Rachel saw that the girl was still staring at her and then poked her head "Hello?" Suddenly the girl started crying. Which shocked her, as the girl abruptly sat up and hugged her tightly which. Suddenly a flash of memories flew into her mind.

'These are….'

[Should be the memories that where lost due to the rebirth. I'm still working on bringing the pieces back together. But, things are so glitchy that I can't bring them in full. In most case I can only give you flash]

'Nothing else?'

[No, your lucky to be getting anything because of the distortion]

Rachel wasn't sure what was going on, but, one look told her a story and a realm of possibilities. This girl's life was tragic filled with ups and downs. After a while the girl calmed down and just calmly looked at her eyes filled with pain, she had a look that said she missed the person in front of her.

Making her frown as she shrugged her shoulders and touched the girl's forehead "Well, your fever is down. So why won't we start with a name."

"Ummm, I'm Rang Hee-Jin" she said nervously.

"Well, Hee-Jin. Let's take you home. Do you remember which apartment it is?"

"…. You don't know" The girl said in a small tone.

"Why would I, come one on" She said leading to the counter as she paid for everything and checked her out. The young girls' eyes never left as if to soak in everything. She woke up the driver who was still sleeping and was about to ask him to take her back to the complex.

"Can I stay with you" Hee-Jin said with pleading eye.

"What about your-"

"Please just for the night" She was about to cry.

'Elfin are you sure this girl is supposed to be forty, because she really is acting like a fourteen-year-old'

[...]

Rachel glanced at the driver who didn't really have any opinion on her taking an unknown little girl back with her to her hotel. It seemed that he thought it was fine especially when she saved her.

"Take us back to the hotel" Rachel said, and the girl squeezed her tightly 'My goodness she is acting like I'm here mom. Did I perhaps adopt her or something.'

Leading the girl into the hotel she did the driver goodnight and that she would see her tomorrow. Mike was in the lobby with headphones in and completely in gym cloths. He was probably waiting for so they could work out together. When he saw her he walked over but was soon surprised at her tag-along.

"What?" Rachel looked with a frown, Hee-Jin was looking around the fancy hotel in wonder.

"You said you where bringing someone, but I didn't expect you to bring me a secret child"

"Do you want to get hit, you've known me for over ten years, and you think I had time for this." Rachel grabbed her shoes and was about to hit him.

"No, don't abuse the manager" he squealed as he was hit with her shoes. Making fun of when he knew damn well, that she can't have kids.

After she finished smacking him "I don't be going to the gym with you today"

"Awww, But your so motivating."

"I'm sure Sasha would motivate you more" Rachel said as the elevator door close, she then looked back at the little girl. The girl's clothes didn't look fitting at all. "Hee-Jin, those clothes are they hand-mi-downs"

"Yes, they are my older sister clothes."

"...." Rachel reached into her purse and pulled out her phone she sent a quick text message. Hee-Jin was in an outfit that wasn't fitting at all, especially around the chest area. Although the outfit was oversized, and Rachel could tell that the previous owner had a smaller chest size. Not only that this girl doesn't even had a bra much less a training bra. "Have you already started your exams"

"No..." she trailed off "I'm supposed to start then tomorrow"

"WHAT?" Rachel looked back at her phone its still only Six "Don't you need to study? Why not go back home?"

"I…..I"

"You really don't want to go back that bad?"

"..." She was mute.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?"

"Can you help for a little bit?" Hee-Jin looked back up at her. Rachel pushed her hair back; it certainly wasn't her first time dealing with teens and helping them study.

As Nick when she married Shelly, and she had seven of them, but this era and the one she originally was in are different meaning the curriculum is different. By the way on the man's side during birth totally different experience. Shelly would say some off the wall S***, in her lucid mind. Shelly made her feel like she was going to die every time and they had seven kids, Seven.

"What time do you start exams tomorrow?"

"Around Nine"

"Are they exam for High School or are you still going to be in Middle school?"

"Exams for High School."

"What is the name of your school?"

"Kwon Bayshore Middle School"

"Kwon, Kwon…..Ummm" Rachel shoot out another text. "Will you parents be worried?"

"Only my Dad"

"I See, where does your Dad work?"

"Ping Chung Factory"

"Ping Chung Factory? What time does he get off?" The Elevator came to a step.

"At Seven."

"What your Dads name?" Rachel said walking her to her suite and opening the door.

"Rang Jun-Ho" Hee-Jin said in wonder as she looked around the suite.

"Meow, Meow" said the little Kitten.

"That Lulo, she's about five weeks old." Rachel picked up the little thing that was purring the moment she was lifted of the ground. With a light hand on her back Rachel lead Hee-JIn into the living room. "I'll call your Dad; he at least has to know you're here." Rachel said as she laid Lulo on the girls lap who immediately took to her.

She had gotten the number Ping Chung Factory.

"Hello, is this Ping Chung Factory" She said closing the door to her bathroom. "Yes, I am looking for a worker named Rang Jun-Ho, it concerning his daughter."

After a moment, the man came on.

"Hello, is this about Hee-Min."

Just understood from that sentence alone that this father had no idea what was going on. "No its about your younger daughter Hee-Jin."

"Is she alright?" He said concerned.

"To put it I found her coconscious outside and took her to the hospital."

"WHAT!" The man voice went shaky "IS she alright? Which Hospital"

"And I was Starting to think you weren't concerned at all?"

"Why would you think that? No, just tell me which hospital."

"Well, we are not at the hospital anymore."

"Where are you then?" he wanted to yell.

"Calm down and listen first"

"…."

"At the hospital my doctor told me a few things that had given me some concerns at what is going on at home. So, she be staying with me for tonight. As for her exam's tomorrow, I'll send her to school, so you don't have to worry about.

I also paid for her hospital fees so that should be another thing off your chest.

As for my concern, When I found her nose was bleeding from a hard slap to her face. She was also wearing clothes not in her size and mind you she is a growing girl but isn't even wearing proper underwear.

As for what the doctor said, your youngest doctor is obvious malnourished and this didn't just start months ago, its been happening for years. Meaning your daughter had been on the borderline of starvation for a long time. She was running a fever and hadn't taken any form of medication as well.

So, to me it is obvious that her home life is isn't very pleasant. I end my call here, and I make sure to send her home tomorrow after her exams." Rachel hung up and stretched as she walked out of the bedroom.

Hee-Jin was clearly malnourished anyone can see that, even Mike noticed that's why he made a lighthearted joke at such a serious situation. One Problem is that the girl's father was clueless about the girl being malnourished despite is being so obvious. Two is the mother, no mother would have let this go on unless it was intentional. Three, the sister is also a problem. Rachel then thought of Min-Joo.

When Rachel left the house, she asked Min-Joo to come with her, but she refused and said that she wouldn't have anywhere to go. Since she wanted to get out of there just as fast Rachel didn't press
