Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 289 Not Bad

Enduring her aching body, Eileen went to the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water cascaded down. from her head, neither cold nor hot. She closed her eyes but still felt something was off. She reached down to touch the sensitive area below, finding no signs of swelling. The pain had also significantly subsided.

In truth, there was a red mark on the inside of her thigh, a place she couldn’t see. It was hidden so well that Eileen didn’t notice it.

Could it be that I’m overthinking things?

Nothing happened last night, and even if something did, it was just me having another drunken spree.

Otherwise, why would I destroy such beautiful roses?

She recalled that she had indeed seen news about people who, after getting drunk, truly knew nothing at

all.

Eileen swiftly brushed off these unnecessary worries. Half an hour later, she exited the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel.

If she were to glance back at this moment, she would see, reflected in the mirror, her slender back also bearing marks.

After changing her clothes, Eileen called Jasper.

The phone was answered after half a minute. “Jasper, how is Grandma doing?”

“Ms. Eileen!” The person answering the phone was Fabian.

“Mr. Sherwood?”

“It’s me. Mr. Smith has some urgent business to attend to and might not be able to accompany you to Pillere. I’ve already arranged for the hotel’s driver to take you to the airport. Mr. Smith has made arrangements in Pillere, so there will be someone to pick you up when you land. We’ll meet you there in a week. Mr. Smith is in a meeting, and he asked me to apologize on his behalf.”

“It’s okay. The company matters are much more important. How is Grandma doing?” Eileen was indeed a bit disappointed. This was her first time leaving Hulbury to go to an unfamiliar place. She had never been to such a far place before, and it would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous or scared.

“Ms. Eileen, rest assured, Old Mrs. Smith is fine.”

“I’m relieved to hear that Grandma is okay. Please return to your work. I need to get going now.”
