Chapter 1282 Eleanor shook her head at Scott. âItâs nothing, just a little sleeping problem. Got the doc to prescribe me some extra pillsâ
As Scott reached to take the bottle of pills from Eleanor, she smoothly dodged his attempt. âItâs a small thing, I can handle it.â
Scott didnât press further, his gaze instead fixed on the golden leaf in her hand. From his distance, he hadnât been able to see the word on the back of the leaf or the accompanying note earlier. All he knew was that it had been delivered to her by a little girl, on behalf of some man.
This was Eleanorâs personal business, and Scott knew better than to pry. After all, his primary job was to ensure Eleanorâs safety, not to meddle in her private affairs.
As Eleanor turned to leave, she spotted Robin lingering by the entrance of the hospital. Tall and lean like Bernard, he stood bathed in backlight, hands in his pockets, waiting for her.
She hesitated for a moment before walking over to him. Robin said to her, âRide with me.â
After a moment of consideration, Eleanor followed Robin out. Scott wanted to join her, but Robin blocked his path. Just when they were about to argue, Eleanor put a stop to it, âScott, wait for me outside the car.â
Reluctantly, Scott stood by the vehicle, his gaze fixed on Robin through the tinted windows. Robin, however, was looking past Eleanorâs pale, thin face, to the bottle of pills in her hands, âAre you okay?â
Eleanor gave him a faint smile, âIâm fine.â
After a few seconds of silence, Robin spoke again, âI asked you to go back and clarify things with Evan, then come to me for answers. Is it time?â
Confused, Eleanor asked, âWhy do you need to know all this?â
Robin explained, âIâm the vice president of the Premier Entrepreneursâ League. Siren Organization, backed by powerful families, has repeatedly targeted our association, causing significant losses. Itâs my responsibility to investigate Siren Organization and provide answers to the members of our alliance.â
Eleanor retorted with a cold laugh, âBut the Siren Organization only eliminated the cancers of the business world.â
Robin didnât disagree. âI donât deny that Siren Organization targeted the cancers, but thereâs a reason they exist. They wonât disappear forever just because you forcefully remove them.â
Robin understood that in this world, where there is sunshine, there is bound to be darkness. Itâs like wild grass sprouting under the spring breeze-
impossible to remove entirely and always entangling everything in its path.
But what did it matter to Eleanor? âTheyâre gone now, and knowing all this wonât change a thing. Youâve already figured it out on your own. I donât have anything to tell you.â
The information Eleanor had about âSâ wasnât as comprehensive as what Robin knew. Maybe he knew more than Robin did.
Robin wasnât bothered. âJust tell me one thing: did they go to Area Opaca?â
Eleanor was surprised that Robin knew about Area Opaca. She gripped the box in her hands a little tighter. She wasnât sure if Robin was connected to Area Opaca, and she didnât know how to respond.
Seeing her nervous demeanor, Robin realized he was right. âNo wonder they died inside.â
Eleanor paused, astonished, looking at him. âYou know about Area Opaca?â
Robin, leaning back in his seat, glanced at Eleanor nonchalantly. âHeard of it.â
As the president of the Premier Entrepreneursâ League, how could he not know about the lawless region known as Area Opaca?
âDo you know where Area Opaca is, what itâs like inside, why some people who enter can leave while others canât, and why they target Siren Organization?â Faced with Eleanorâs string of questions, Robin didnât answer. He just stared at her with his deep, penetrating eyes.
âDo you want to go?â
Eleanor felt her heart race under his scrutinizing gaze but managed to shake her head.
Robin shifted in his seat, sizing up Eleanorâs delicate frame. âWith that fragile body of yours, you should stay home.â
His tone dripped with disdain and mockery, making Eleanor uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and ignored Robin.
Sitting next to her, Robin occasionally glanced at the silent Eleanor, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. He eventually fell silent.
The atmosphere inside the car became eerie and quiet. Robin grew restless; the small space was filled with a faint fragrance of a woman, and it stirred his heart in a chaotic manner.
âMr. Spencer.â

Just when he was about to lose his composure, Eleanor spoke up.
âCould you give me some of your sleeping pills?â
Robin followed her gaze to the sleeping pills on the storage compartment. He had anger management issues, so taking sleeping pills was normal. But why did Eleanor want them?
âWhat do you need sleeping pills for?â
âI canât sleep at night.â
Robin stared at Eleanor for a moment before extending his slender fingers, picking up the box of pills, and handing it to her.
âOne pill at a time.â
âOkay.â
Eleanor replied and said, âThank you.â
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll head back now.â
He had asked all he needed to ask. Robin had no reason to keep Eleanor. He nodded, opened the car door, and Eleanor quickly got out. She followed Scot her own car and swiftly left the hospital.
Watching her car speed away, Robin pondered. He lightly tapped the edge of the car window, lost in thought.
