Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 115 She Surrenders

“B-Big bro…”

Ultimately, she gave in.

So what if I did? Does he think that by having me call him that, he can erase all the harm he’s caused me and pretend like nothing ever happened? What on earth do you want, Eric?

He smiled. She knows full well that she’s asking for trouble by going against me. Why doesn’t she ever learn? She just has to make me teach her a lesson.

“Don’t let me hear you say that a second time. I can’t deny those things, but I don’t like hearing about it! Understand?” he said.

Eileen remained silent.

Eric pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her head and meet his eyes. “Answer me!”

Eileen had no intention of yielding. If the issue wasn’t resolved comprehensively, the status quo would persist, and the same problems would likely recur in the future.

“Big bro… I’m just reminding you, what you want is to ruin me, unlike what you’re doing right now. You’re committing indecent, lewd acts with a teenager.” Eileen chortled, her eyes filled with icy resentment. “You used to not let me touch you. Don’t tell me that your actions. toward me now mean you’ve fallen for me.”

Eric’s gaze grew even more unfathomable.

In the end, Eileen still didn’t go to school. Eric made a phone call to apply for leave on her behalf.

Around four in the afternoon, Eric pulled her into the car. They had run out of gauze from the medical kit at home, so he drove her to the hospital.

Eileen occupied the passenger seat, having changed back into her usual clothes. Her school uniform, stained with blood, had already been sent for dry cleaning.

Gazing out of the car window, she remarked, “I don’t want to go to Serene Hospital.”

She harbored a distrust for Zachary, the effeminate man who was Eric’s accomplice. I might just die if we go to his hospital.

Eric didn’t say a word, but at the upcoming traffic light, he changed lanes and took a different direction.

Upon reaching General Hospital, he queued up for registration.

Eileen then proceeded to the consultation room to have her wound treated. The blood had already coagulated, sticking to the stitches. As the doctor removed the stitches, the pain caused her to furrow her brows.
