Chapter 27
Chapter 27:
Bailee chimed in swiftly, cutting off any chance for Eileen to refuse. She said to Huey, “You know, Eileen leans towards lighter fare. Find somewhere that fits the bill and text her the details later.”
Huey caught the hint of reluctance from Eileen and quickly nodded in agreement. “Alright, you’ve got plans. Don’t let me hold you up.”
He offered a parting wave and settled into his vehicle. Eileen let out a soft sigh as she slid behind her wheel, and Bailee hopped into the seat beside her, securing her seatbelt before offering a playful smirk.
“We seem like a match. A little young, maybe, but he’s impressive. He’s taken a shine to you, and since Mom introduced him to you, why not give it a try?” Bailee said.
With a gentle rumble, the engine came to life. Eileen peered out at Huey’s departing car and chuckled softly. “Is now really a good time for me to dive into romance?” The question hung in the air, unspoken thoughts of Bryan lingering in Eileen’s mind.
Bailee’s eyes widened in sudden realization. “Are you still tangled up with Bryan? With all the media buzz about him and Vivian, I’m surprised he hasn’t ended things with you.”
The puzzle of Bryan’s intentions was a riddle for Eileen as well. “Maybe, just maybe, he has actually fallen for you?” Bailee speculated.
Eileen’s laugh was light, her gaze filled with mockery. “Are you joking? That’s impossible.”
Bailee was earnest. “No, I’m not! You have everything going for you—beauty, brains, and you’re genuine. Without considering your family background, you’re way better than Vivian.”
“So, you’re pushing me to compete with Vivian for Bryan’s heart? Is that your plan?” Eileen was blunt.

Bailee hesitated, the weight of her own words settling in. “You know what? Never mind all that. Huey’s a catch, and he’s into you. You can’t miss this opportunity to be with him,” she said.
Eileen just stayed quiet.
Bailee’s youth shone through her words, blind to the tangled web of Eileen’s circumstances. If things with Bryan ended in shambles, Eileen would be left in ruins. What prospects could she possibly hope for after being entangled in such a messy affair?
Inside the hospital’s somber and bustling walls, Eileen’s and Bailee’s presence felt like a burst of sunlight. The ward seemed emptier and more peaceful, with just the trio remaining after a patient transfer.
