Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 365

Chapter 365 365: There is something we need to confirm

[Miller Mansion]

"Everything seems to be fine now, so I suppose there won't be any need for more sessions," Sherlyn said as she and Erna settled on the couch across from each other.

Erna had purposely called Sherlyn over under the pretense of a check-up, but in truth, she wanted to meet with her—not as a doctor this time, but as family.

"I wasn't able to properly express my gratitude, Dr. Sherlyn. If not for your help, I might never have escaped that stagnant state."

For everyone else, it was just an accident that caused her to faint, but for Erna, it had been something far worse. She had been trapped in memories, reliving the pain of years past. Waking up had been difficult, but in the end, she did—finally uncovering the truth she had been desperately searching for.

"You really scared all of us, Mrs. Miller."

"Erna," she corrected gently. "You can call me by my name. Now that we're family, formality isn't necessary."

Sherlyn blinked in surprise at the suggestion but then nodded with a shy smile.

As they continued their conversation, the front door opened, and Eveline walked in, pausing when she saw Sherlyn sitting in the living room.

"Aunt Sherlyn! What a pleasant surprise," Eveline greeted warmly, moving to sit beside her.

Sherlyn still found it odd to be called 'Aunt,' but knowing her relationship with Kaden, she figured she would have to get used to it eventually. Eveline smirked at Sherlyn's awkwardness before turning her attention to Erna.

"Mom, is Dad home?"

"Not yet, and I don't think he'll be coming back this early." Erna's tone carried a hint of worry, something both Sherlyn and Eveline immediately picked up on.

"Is something wrong?" Sherlyn asked, keeping in mind Mr. Miller's past health issues.

"Certainly not. He assured me there's nothing to worry about," Erna responded, though her dull tone suggested otherwise.

Eveline remained skeptical. Her father's spy network had recently been disrupted—just like what happened with Stefan. Knowing how impatient he could be, he would likely find a way to regain contact with Rick soon enough.
