Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 216 I Don’t Need You

In the midst of her thoughts, a phone call interrupted and scattered Eileen’s concentration.

The call came from an unfamiliar number, and Eileen didn’t know who it was, but she had a hunch deep down.

Initially, a string of unfamiliar numbers appeared on the screen, but somehow, those numbers transformed into the name “Sarah.”

It felt as if Eileen had forgotten how to breathe, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt.

As Eileen picked up the phone and held it to her ear, five seconds of silence passed without anyone speaking. Eileen could feel her heart pounding fiercely. “Hello, this is Eileen. Who is

She heard the other person scoff, and then the call abruptly ended.

This blatant mockery felt like a slap to Eileen’s face.

Is that Nancy?

Has she returned a long time ago?

The day she disappeared, when Jasper found me, there was a look of fear of losing her in his eyes. And that hint of strangeness in his gaze, what was it?

Eileen wiped her eyes, then looked up.

“How did you get here?”

With a worried look in her eyes, Natalie said, “I noticed earlier that you seemed upset. I was concerned about you, so I came to find you.”

Eileen tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a faint smile. Tm fine. You can go ahead”
