Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 143

Eileen felt like she was being framed.

She was pissed.

After leaving the elevator, she stomped out on her own.

Galen took a moment to observe, it didn’t look like she had anything to do with the situation.

He turned to Egbert, “Was it really not because of her?”

Egbert was in a pickle, he didn’t know whether to say it was because of her or not.

Finally, he sighed and shook his head.

Now Galen was feeling a bit awkward.

He asked perplexedly, “So, what’s up with you?”

Egbert responded tiredly, “Some family stuff.”

Galen didn’t ask further, it was getting too personal.

He looked back at Eileen who was storming off, hesitated for a moment, then shouted, “I’ll grab breakfast for you, what do you want?” Eileen paused, then walked back..

She reached out to Galen, “Just give me the money. I’ll get it myself.”

Galen paused, then took out his phone, asking, “How much?”

Eileen replied, “Fifty.”

Galen stared at her in shock, “What the hell costs that much for breakfast?”

Eileen quickly changed her answer, “Twenty.”

Galen begrudgingly transferred her twenty dollars.

Eileen took the money, and five minutes later, she took Egbert and Galen to the TV station’s cafeteria.

Galen stared at the huge, dry piece of bread in his bowl with no jam or butter and fell into contemplation. Eileen looked at the twenty dollars newly added to her account on her phone, and grinned widely.

After eating, Eileen took Galen and Egbert to tour the training room.

She even arranged seats for them to watch the training in person.

Galen was just here for the spectacle, he didn’t think Eileen could actually teach anything.

To his surprise, Eileen was actually really good.

Whether it was demonstrating or correcting movements, she nailed it.

Her dance moves were also impressive.

Galen and Egbert whispered to each other, “Who knew she…”

“Quiet!”

Before he could finish, Eileen, who was busy working, suddenly shouted.

Galen realized she was scolding him and shut his trap.

At that moment, Egbert’s phone rang.

Egbert got up and went outside to answer the call.

It was Gilbert Turner calling, they were discussing work matters.

After hanging up, Egbert was about to go back in when the training room door opened.

Eileen walked out.

She needed to use the restroom. Seeing Egbert at the door, she waved at him.

Egbert put down his phone, suddenly saying, “I’m heading out first.”

Eileen was taken aback, she looked back at him, “Aren’t you joining us for lunch?”

Egbert responded indifferently, “My agent is here, I have some work to deal with.”

Eileen was a bit disappointed, she wanted to have lunch with him. She mumbled, “Can you come back when we eat?”

Egbert could see what she was getting at.

He sighed, asking, “What do you want to eat?”

Eileen’s eyes instantly-lit up, she quickly said, “Barbecue, roast beef! I haven’t had barbecue in so long!”

Egbert chuckled, “I’ll pick you up at noon!”

Eileen was elated.

She gave Egbert a hard pat on the shoulder, loudly saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t mooch off you, I’ll give you a gift!”

Egbert looked at her and smiled, his mood lightened up a bit.

He asked gently, “What gift?”

Eileen replied, “I’ll give you Galen!”

With a poker face, Egbert stepped into the elevator, not looking at Eileen again the entire time.

Eileen went to the restroom.

When she came out, she saw Karin in the hallway, on the phone.

Thinking about how Karin also came to help yesterday, Eileen decided to wait and express her thanks after Karin was done with her call.

Karin didn’t notice Eileen.

She was looking at the ground, anxiously saying into the phone, “So how’s grandma now? She’s okay, right?”

Someone on the other end said something.

Karin bit her lips, “So she’s back in the hospital for treatment? I thought they said she could recover at home and doesn’t need to stay in the hospital anymore?”

The other end said something again.

Kann fell silent for a moment, asking, “Mom, do you think I should go home? The competition… I can withdraw…”

Hearing this, Eileen frowned.

After a while, Karin finally hung up.

Distracted by her worries, she didn’t notice anyone else.

At that moment, Eileen stepped forward and gently touched her hair.

Karin was startled, only then did she notice Eileen, she opened her mouth, “…Ms. Lopez.”

Eileen asked gently, “Did an elder in your family fall ill?”

Karin looked deeply at Eileen, then nodded, “It’s my grandma, her health is very poor. She was discharged from the hospital, but her condition worsened yesterday. After emergency treatment, she was readmitted to the hospital.”

Eileen frowned in thought for a moment, asking, “What has she got?”

Karin couldn’t explain clearly, after thinking for a bit, she took out her phone.

She found a picture and said, “This was sent to the family group by Sonia Lopez, it’s grandma’s medical report.”

Eileen took the phone, at the top of the report there was a name in brackets, Rosalind.

Rosalind, a very elegant and noble name.

Eileen zoomed in on the image and studied it for a while.

After a while, she asked with a frown, “Has your grandma’s illness always been treated by the local hospital?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Karin was taken aback, then nodded, “Yes, she’s always been in the same hospital.”

“Have you ever tried international medical tearns?”

Karin shook her head, “I’m not sure about that, but my grandpa actually trusts our country’s medical system more.”

Eileen looked at the illness characteristics in the picture and pondered for a while, finally saying, “I haven’t seen her in person, so I can’t make any conclusions, but I think you can try an international treatment plan. Domestic and foreign medical services each have their strengths, it’s best to take the best of both. Prejudice is something best to avoid.”

Karin paused for a moment, then said, “Well…I’ll talk to my dad about it, see if he can find a good medical team from abroad.”

Eileen thought for a moment, “Mr. Carl from the Capital’s International Medical Association is quite renowned.”

Karin nodded, “Alright, I’ll tell my dad.”

Eileen looked at Karin, who was still as obedient as ever. She sighed lightly, then said, “If your grandma’s condition is really severe, you should quit the competition. Family is more important than anything else.”

Karin’s eyes reddened slightly.

She looked at Eileen intently, then nodded firmly, “Right! Family is more important than anything else!”

Eileen smiled, “Mr. Carl isn’t easy to get hold of. If you have any issues, feel free to ask me for help.”

After chatting with Karin for a while longer, Eileen left.

About an hour later, Karin timidly knocked on the door of Team One’s training room.

Eileen was teaching a class. She was about to get angry, but when she saw it was Karin, she signaled to the dance teacher to continue, and she stepped outside.

Once outside, she realized Karin wasn’t the only one in the hallway.

Karin’s father, Mr. Chad, was also there.

Eileen remembered what happened last night, how Mr. Chad had helped out, and that the issue with Hubery Cooper was also resolved by him.

Eileen immediately expressed her gratitude to Mr. Chad.

Mr. Chad seemed a bit stunned, but quickly asked, “Ms. Lopez, Karin told me you could help her get in touch with Mr. Carl from the Capital?”

Eileen replied, “Yes.”

Mr. Chad seemed a little anxious, “As far as I know, Mr. Carl has already retired.”

Eileen chuckled, “It seems you are quite familiar with the medical circle in the Capital. Yes, Mr. Carl has retired, but only because he prefers the quiet. He still practices medicine. If necessary, I can help get in touch with him.”

Mr. Chad’s eyes lit up, “That would be great, thank you!”

Eileen smiled, “No problem.”

roblem.”…

With that, she pulled out her phone, found a number she hadn’t called in a long tim

After a while, the call went through.

Eileen said to the person on the other end of the line, “Malloy, it’s me.”
