Chapter 58:

A gust of cold wind swept through the corridor, cutting to Eileen’s core.

She composed herself and continued on her path, only to collide with an unexpected figure.

Before she could utter an apology, the man’s fierce demeanor halted her words. “Eileen!”

Surprised to encounter Jonathan, who was now not in his hospital attire, Eileen wondered if he had been discharged already.

“Mr. Mueller, why are you—” she began.

But Jonathan cut her off with a heated glare. “Save it, Eileen. You never cease to amaze!”

Noticing the evident sarcasm in his tone, Eileen was momentarily lost for words.

Jonathan’s anger was palpable as he said, “I’ll let you off this time, but don’t think you’ll live in peace after this! Remember, you won’t find peace after meddling in Kian’s and Bryan’s affairs.”

A sly grin then broke through his scowl, as if a new scheme had dawned on him. “You’re all tangled up in complications. I’ll make sure to add a few knots of my own. Kian will see I’m not someone he could use as a pawn.”

With that, Jonathan briskly moved past Eileen and disappeared into the elevator.

Eileen turned, catching the last glimpse of Jonathan’s retreating figure in the elevator, his anger evident.

Even after the doors clicked shut, Eileen remained motionless, Jonathan’s words echoing in her mind.

“I’ll let you off this time…”

He had chosen not to retaliate against Bailee this time?

Lost in thought, the sudden noise of a door disrupted the silence, drawing Eileen’s gaze. It was Bryan exiting the ward.

In his hand, he held a beer, taking a sip with an ease that seemed at odds with the hospital setting.

Their eyes met, locking in a wordless exchange.

After a while, Eileen approached. “Why are you drinking in the hospital, Mr. Dawson?”

Bryan responded with a nonchalant lift of his eyebrow. “Is there a rule against it?” He took another swig, clearly indifferent to the hospital’s usual decorum.

He looked a little annoyed. Eileen speculated it might be because he was concerned about Vivian’s prolonged hospital stay.
