Chapter 144

Chapter 144 No One Else But Me

Around half past seven in the evening, Jasper left the hospital.

Seeing the rare smile on Jasper’s face, Fabian guessed that he must have had a pleasant

conversation with Eileen.

No medication Mr. Smith is taking can bring a smile to Ms. Eileen’s face. This is also beneficial as it

allows Mr. Smith to move on from that woman.

Jasper pulled out a few painkillers from his pocket and swallowed them. The weather had been cold

the past few days, causing his legs to act up from time to time.

“Tell Richard to prepare a room in the Smith residence and ensure that all the designs meet her

preferences!”

Fabian exclaimed in surprise, “Ms. Eileen is moving into the Smith residence? How are we going to

explain it to Old Mrs. Smith?”

Jasper replied, “I will discuss it with her. Now, let’s drive. We’re going back to the office!”

“Yes, Mr. Smith!”

Indeed, Ms. Eileen leaving the Swan family is good for Mr. Smith.

Despite the humiliation of his younger sister, Eric stood by, refusing to help. Moreover, he was exposed

in front of everyone. I can’t believe how heartless he is. Will has indeed raised a heartless person.

However, how would Will handle these matters upon his return? How would he deal with the son he

has painstakingly raised all these years?

At the hospital, Eileen sat quietly on the bed, gazing at the night view outside the floor-to- ceiling

window. The lights reflected in her eyes as she deep in thought.

She didn’t know whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

With every step she took, she was walking on a knife’s edge, where the slightest misstep could lead to

her downfall.

Eric, I’m leaving. You can finally get what you’ve always wanted!

It was nearly ten o’clock when Eileen finally went to bed.

In the pitch-black room, a dark figure stepped in. The man’s gaze was deep and mysterious, watching

Eileen sleep soundly on the bed.

“Who else came today besides Gavin?”

Sharon replied, “A gentleman by the name of Smith came to visit Ms. Eileen. They had a private

conversation in the room I’m not sure what they discussed, but after the gentleman. lett. Fileen just sat

on the bed, lost in thought. He also mentioned that he has resolved the isste at school. By next week,

Eileen will be able to return to school.”

A turbulent rage suddenly ignited in Eric’s eyes.

A long while passed before he spoke again. “What did the doctor say about her illness?”

Sharon replied, “She can be discharged tomorrow. However, it will take another two or three days for

her symptoms to subside.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Eric waved his hand, and Sharon left quietly.

Eileen felt an itch on her face. She was in a deep sleep, having suffered from an unbearable. itch all

over her body the previous night that kept her from sleeping well. She swatte i at whatever was on her

face, turned over, and immediately fell back asleep.

As there was a large space on the bed, Eric took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, and lay down. next to

her, following the contour of her body from behind. Underneath the blanket, there was a sweet

fragrance emanating from her apart from the scent of the ointment.

Eric closed his eyes, taking a short rest. He thought he would fall asleep quickly, but surprisingly, his

mind was incredibly alert.

Within him, there had always been a dark beast, unseen by the light and firmly bound by iron chains.

If it ever broke free from its shackles, he would cross the threshold.

Thus, he had no other choice but to suppress it. Yet he didn’t know how much longer he could hold on.

As he breathed in Eileen’s delicate scent, he pictured the alluring silhouette of her slender body in the

bathroom, where drops of water flowed down her exquisite curves.

Right then, Eric was lost in his impure fantasies,

Unbuckling the belt around his waist, he pressed against her delicate body, his hand slowly. reaching

down below…

With his other hand, he gently lifted her thin hospital gown, his palm touching her skin.

Inside the quiet and pitch-black room, Eric’s husky and labored breathing filled the air.

wash and half an hour later that he finally let out a sigh

After a short break, he withdrew Ins hand and pulled out a few tissues from the bedside.

The next day. Fileen slept until she naturally woke up

The first thing she did was roll up her sleeve to find that the red spots had significantly faded

When she sat up, she realized that her waist wahore

Supporting her waist, she rubbed it a bit, feeling slight pain in her skin.

Upon lifting her gown to take a look, she saw a few red marks on one side of her waist.

There was also a strange smell lingering in the quilt.

Eileen furrowed her brows. “Why does this smell so familiar…

Having experienced marital intimacy, there was no way she wouldn’t recognize the scent.

But how can this be possible, I’ve been alone the entire time. No one came last night either.

A jolt shot through Eileen’s mind, and she was suddenly struck by a terrifying thought that

stunned her.

Just then, Sharon came in, holding a bouquet of flowers.

She then filled the vase with water.

Eileen probed, “Sharon, did my brother come by last night?”

Sharon replied, “Mr. Snow did come by, but he only stayed for a few minutes. He glanced at you and

then left.”

Is that so?

Suddenly, Eileen began to doubt herself. She held her forehead.

Am I overthinking things? Perhaps it’s an issue with the blanket.

Eileen decided to cast the idea out of her mind.

Sharon added, “The doctor will come for a check-up soon. If everything is fine, you’ll be able

to be discharged from the hospital. Mr. Snow will be coming over soon.”

Eileen furrowed her brows. “Why is he doing that?”

Sharon replied, “Today is the weekend, so he doesn’t have to go to the office. He’ll be coming to pkk

you up from the hospital”

After arranging the flowers, Sharon came over. Holding Eileen’s hand, she said, “Last night. I made

some fresh ravioli dough, and the meat filling was also chopped this morning. I didn’t ald any pepper

Would you like me to cook sore for your breakfast?”

Fileen said. Tim about to be released from the hospital, so why go through all the trouble? We can take

care of it once I get home.”

Sharon explained. “Your father hired me to take care of you, so naturally, I prioritize your preferences.

Vera might enjoy ravioli with pepper, but since you don’t like it, I won’t include

it

In reality. Eileen was upset. Sharon had been with her since childhood, and she didn’t want Sharon to

take care of anyone else but her.

That was the reason for her jealousy.

Eileen stepped forward and hugged Sharon tightly. “You must not treat others better than me. You can

only be a little kinder to others.”

With a smile, Sharon patted her on the back. “You silly girl, how can you compare yourself to others?

You’re the daughter of the Swan family. Everything I do is in your best interest.”

“Eileen!”

Vera’s voice suddenly rang out.

Eileen looked towards the door, unaware of when they had arrived.

Vera followed closely beside Eric, dressed in a Blake coat and a grey scarf, which seemed to match

Eric’s black one.

She was also holding a bunch of sunflowers.

Vera walked over. “Are you feeling better now?”

Eileen nodded, breaking into a slight smile. “Much better. Thank you for your concern.”

Vera said, “Eileen, I have some good news to share with you.

Eileen asked, “What is it?”

Vera was joyfully laughing. “We can be classmates again in the future! The final exam results for this

term are out, and I made it into Class One. Given how well I did, you’ll need to work even harder.”

Eileen uncerely said “Congratulations!”

All credit goes to Eric. If he hadn’t correctly guessed the questions and tutored me. I wouldn’t have had

a chance!” Vera gratefully glanced at Eric who was standing by her side.

“Ms. Eileen!”

It was Richard.

Besides him, there was also a group of bodyguards behind him.

Ignoring the others, Richard walked up to Eileen. He clasped his hands and placed them. respectfully

in front of himself.

“The discharge procedures have been completed, you can leave the hospital at any time!”
