Chapter 90 What Does She Mean To Him.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow on the bathroom door. Eileen, with her disheveled long hair, wore a resentful expression. She resembled a ghostly figure, her eyes hollow and numb.

courses in the training class?”

Eileen replied, “I’ve caught up with the three months of classes I missed. Father, rest assured, I won’t fall behind.”

The tension on Will’s face finally eased, and he nodded in satisfaction. “Go ahead, be careful

on your way.”

As soon as Eileen took her school bag from Mary, Will quickly called out to her.
