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.

She watched as the Blake light from the phone on the bed continuously illuminated the room. Its pleasant ringtone echoed throughout the room.

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
