Chapter 21 Every Move Has Been Calculated

Eileen was finally discharged after half a month in the hospital. She had not just sat around in the meantime either, doing a good number of mock exams in the hospital.

Eric would find time to see her no matter how busy he was. He would look through her exam papers, pointing out any mistakes he spotted and explaining them to her patiently.

He had downloaded a few new games the company had just launched on Eileen’s phone, so she could. play them when she took a break.

That rarely happened, as she spent most of her time on her studies. The midterms happening in a few months were her best shot at leaving the Swan family.

She would finally be away from Eric and Will’s fighting…

Eric helped Eileen fill out her discharge paperwork. Her chest still hurt a little, but it was much better

than before. The scars on her body had fallen off as well, and only itched a little now.

Eric was willing to spend so much time on Eileen this time around just to make a point to Will.

Everyone said that Eric was just like a dog Will kept around.

Only Eileen knew that he was more like a wolf, hungrily eyeing everything in the dark.

A beast, ready to pounce and attack.

Every move he made had been calculated.

He would never make a sacrifice for nothing.

Eileen walked behind Eric, heading to his car.

She saw Vera in the backseat, her nervousness palpable even through the car window.

Eric stood in front of the passenger seat door, glancing at Eileen. “I thought Vera and I would celebrate. your discharge with you. Let’s have a meal together.”

Eileen said nothing, pursing her lips. She got into the passenger seat, spotting the sticker above her.”

Her face began to burn a little.

Look what she had done!
