Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 48 Why Did You Go Back On Your Word?

Not long after Eric left, Elsie brought some pastries to Eileen’s room. She took a look at her injuries, said some superficial words of care and left.

Even though she had taken her painkillers, Eileen still felt the throbbing pain on her back to the point that she could not fall asleep at night.

She was awakened in a cold sweat by a nightmare in the middle of the night. She couldn’t move nor adjust her posture, so she definitely couldn’t sleep well.

After a while, her chest hurt from lying flat on her bed, so she took a pillow to cushion. herself.

She was only eighteen, having boobs that were too big weren’t great for her.

She took a look at the time, it was half past three.

Eileen got up

from the bed and headed to the bathroom. She unbuttoned her pajamas and took them off slowly. Looking at the wounds that criss-crossed on her back, there were a few buttons that were ripped off and some swollen redness in some parts of her skin. But it had healed so much more than before.

Having woken up in a sweat, and not to mention that it was a hot summer now, her whole body was sticky all over. So she took a quick shower carefully, trying not to touch her wounds.

After putting on a new pair of pajamas, she walked out to the balcony to get some fresh air.

The stars shone dimly through the night, but the moon was extraordinarily bright.

The lights on the third floor of the opposite villa were off. Eileen realized that she hasn’t seen him in a long time.

He was just a blurry shadow back then.

But now, she had no idea where he was.

She just hoped that he’s not taking things too hard

Jasper was still under anesthesia, so he was in deep sleep. His legs were still bandaged with

Richard: “Doctor, how is Mr. Jasper doing?”

The doctor-in-charge replied: “Judging by the current situation, the operation was very successful, but we can’t rule out any complications after the surgery, so he still needs to be observed in the hospital for a period of time.”

“And… how long would that be?”

“It depends on the patient’s health condition. It might take thirty to fifty years to recover fully. The recovery period can take a relatively long time, and I can’t rule out if there are any other sequelae after the surgery. After all, it was delayed for such a long time, it’s a miracle that the surgery was a success.”

“Okay, doctor! Thank you for your hard work!”

“Just doing my job.”
