Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 160 The Best Thank You

I didn't get back to the hospital until after midnight as a pile of design drafts weighed me down. When I pushed open the door to the ward, Eric was staring at me intensely.

I froze for a moment, then smiled as I walked over. "What's this? You're awake? I thought you'd be asleep."

Eric looked at me, his voice low and deliberate. "Maybe it's because you weren't here, so I couldn't sleep well."

His eyes were full of sincerity, making my heart skip a beat.

When I didn't respond, his gaze shifted to the folder in my hand. He frowned. "What's this? Even if you love your work, you should rest a little. After everything that happened today, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

I patted my chest reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm taking a break today. I didn't work."

Eric raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Then what were you doing for so long? Weren't you working?"

Seeing the concern in his eyes, I hesitated momentarily, then told him everything that had happened tonight.

When I mentioned that I had brought the police and had Jeremiah arrested, Eric's expression turned approving. However, he knew that the Cornell family had plenty of ways to get Jeremiah out.
