Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Where Was Elm Last Night?

After an hour and a half, Elm shook her leg. “Hey, wake up. Let’s go.”

On the contrary, she slept comfortably.

Eileen had slept so soundly that when she woke up, Elm had already finished the IV drip and was applying an alcohol swab to the back of his hand.

Checking her phone, she was surprised to see that it was almost one o’clock.

In response, she yawned.

“Did you remember everything I just told you?”

“Why are you still thinking about this at this hour? Let’s discuss it tomorrow.”

Elm picked up his bag, walked to the counter, paid the bill, and received some medicine.

The elderly doctor looked at Elm through his reading glasses. “Young man, you need to take good care of your kidneys. I’m not joking. If it becomes serious, you might actually become infertile.”

“Come on, when will you stop, old man?” Elm said, somewhat fiercely..

Eileen scolded him, “You must not be rude to the elderly. Doctor, I understand. Rest assured, I will make sure he takes his medicine.”

“Look at that, this girl is so sensible.”

When Eileen spoke to the doctor, she didn’t seem like she was lying.

Carrying a large bag of medicine, Elm left the clinic with her.

“Did you hear what the doctor just said? You should cut down on smoking and drinking. Elm…”

“Whatever it is, just tell me!”

“I just noticed the scars on your back and stomach. Where did they come from?”

“Do you care about me?” His voice was deep and soft, like a pleasing melody in one’s ear.

Elm looked at her with a raised eyebrow. His gaze was deep and affectionate, as if he was flirting with her.

Eileen had long since become immune to all that. She had lived two lifetimes, and if her agr was added up, she could easily be his mother.

Even if she cared for him, it was nothing more than maternal love.

How are you planning to get back?”

“If I can’t find a taxi at this hour, I’ll have to stay at a hotel. What about you?”

I’ve rented a house nearby. It’s just up ahead.”

Elm patted his pocket and pulled out his wallet. With a furrowed brow, he said, “I forgot my ID. Can I stay at your place tonight?”

Eileen narrowed her eyes at him. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he had planned everything in advance.

Fine, I’ll just take it as doing a good deed.

Eileen led him into the room she had rented.

After entering, he made himself comfortable, sprawling out on the couch. The couch was a bit old, so she had bought a blanket to cover it. However, it wasn’t quite long enough. Elm, being a tall man of over 1.8 meters, had his feet sticking out.

After boiling some water, she went to the room and fetched two quilts. “Get up. I need to spread the quilts over the couch before you sleep.”

Elm stood up to make room for Eileen.

After she laid out the quilt, Elm stood behind her and asked, “When did you become so kind- hearted?”

Eileen replied, “I always have been.”

As for why, both of them knew it in their hearts. They just didn’t say it out loud.

Eileen took out the unused toiletries from her room. She had kept them as a backup, never expecting to need them that day.

After the water was ready, she got him to take his medicine. The herbal medicine could only be consumed the next day, as it was too late at night.

Elm came out of the bathroom to find that Eileen had already poured some water and placed it on the coffee table. “Remember to take your medication first.”

After taking care of his needs, she was so tired that she couldn’t bear it any longer. She went

be bathroom for a quick shower.

Wher she returned to her room, she almost fell asleep immediately.

She didn’t have any dreanis that night.

By the time she woke up naturally, it was seven o’clock. Although she only had half an hour, it was more than enough for Eileen.

With her hair tied up in a ponytail, Eileen opened the door and stepped out. She glanced at the couch and saw that the blanket had already been neatly folded and placed on it.

From the looks of it, she assumed that Elm had already left.

Suddenly, the door swung open. It was Elm, dressed in a black windbreaker, a hat on his head, and a few snowflakes on his shoulders. He brushed them off before stepping inside.

“Oh, you’re awake, Ms. Eileen.”

Eileen asked. “Where have you been?”

Elm held up two bags of breakfast for her to see. “Breakfast, I bought them downstairs especially for you. The milk is still hot.”

“But I’m running late.”

“Oh, then I’ll just throw it away.” The reply was indifferent.

“You really know how to waste food. I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face, then I’ll eat later.”

“Alright.” Elm placed the breakfast on the table. He had also bought two bowls of oatmeal, pretzels, and pasta. He wasn’t sure what she wanted to eat, so he simply bought a bit of everything.

After the two finished breakfast, there was still half left. They stored it in the refrigerator for later.

They didn’t leave together. After taking a bite to eat, Eileen left first.

Elm still needed to drink his herbal medicine to nourish his kidneys, so she let him use the gas stove. She wasn’t worried about what he would do at home. Firstly, she didn’t have as much money as him, and secondly, she didn’t have many belongings. There was nothing really worth stealing.

Walking down the street, Eileen took out her concealer, dabbed a bit with her finger, and applied it under her eyes. The sleepless nights over the past few days had deepened her dark

“Mr. Smith. It’s Ms. Eileen.” Fabian spotted Eileen not far away. She was looking into a mirror and seemed to be applying makeup. Her appearance was visibly tired.

Jasper gazed in the direction she had come from, his amber eyes deep and serene. He tightly held her phone, his face devoid of expression.

“Should we call out to her?”

Jasper remained silent.

Fabian had suspected it for a while. Mr. Smith and Ms. Friedman had always been at odds, but today he had unusually taken the time to drop her off at school. However, he lingered around afterwards, making his intentions obvious. He simply wanted to see Ms. Eileen, nothing more.

Jasper asked, his tone devoid of emotion, “Where was Elm last night?”

Fabian replied, “He didn’t return to his condominium last night. He must be at a bar or a club. However, his exact location is unclear at the moment.”

Jasper knew that Elm had spent the night with Eileen.

A restless, suffocating feeling began spreading across his chest.

Jasper hung his head, gently caressing the screen of his phone with his thumb, while his eyes darkened. “Did he ignore my instructions? From now on, cut off all his financial resources. Without my permission, don’t give him a single penny.”

I don’t care who he associates with, but if he approaches Eileen with his own desires, I won’t just stand by and do nothing, especially when it comes to Eileen. She’s just like her filthy mother, only capable of using disgusting methods.

Suddenly, a cold, ruthless glint flashed in Jasper’s eyes.

Fabian replied, “If he asks about it…”

“Just say it’s my decision. He wouldn’t dare object.”

“Yes, Mr. Smith.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
