Chapter 120:

“Go ahead.” Eileen didn’t question Bailee. She simply walked out of the ward with her, watching as Bailee and Huey left. She let out a deep sigh.

As she turned around, she spotted Bryan at the end of the hallway. He had just extinguished his cigarette and was walking toward her, his intense eyes fixed on her.

“Thank you for everything these past few days, Mr. Dawson,” Eileen forced a smile and said, “Now that my mother is out of danger, I’ll hire a caretaker and then get back to work. However, could you pass a message to Miss Warren for me? Tell her if this happens again, fight back at all costs.”

Bryan’s expression shifted as he began to say, “Regarding this issue—”

Before Bryan could finish, Eileen interjected, “I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry about me, Mr. Dawson, and I don’t expect you to take my side. But please, don’t suggest that I forgive Vivian.”

The smile faded from Eileen’s face, and she knitted her brows, looking down to avoid Bryan’s gaze. If she had looked up, she would have seen that Bryan was genuinely feeling sorry for her.

“I’m going to talk to Dr. White about the caretaker situation. You can leave now,” Eileen said, giving a small nod and turning to leave.

Down the hallway, Bryan’s tall figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun, his gaze lingering on Eileen as she stepped into the elevator. Only after the elevator doors closed did he look away. He pulled a cigarette from his bag and placed it between his lips but didn’t light it. He walked straight to another elevator, made his way to the parking lot, and climbed into his car. At that moment, his phone rang.

It was Jacob, clearly upset, saying, “How could you keep such a big thing from me?” He had heard from Phoebe about the antics Vivian had pulled, and to make matters worse, the Warren family saw Vivian as the victim because she was battling depression.

With the cigarette still unlit in his mouth, Bryan started the car and drove away from the hospital. His hands were tense on the steering wheel, his brow furrowed as he listened to Jacob’s tirade.

“What’s your plan now? You need to decide between Vivian and Eileen, and Eileen can’t handle being messed with like this…”

Decide? Bryan slightly raised an eyebrow, his expression serious. Bailee had few possessions, which made packing a quick twenty-minute affair before she was ready to leave.

Huey quietly took her luggage downstairs and headed straight to his car.

“Huey,” Bailee called out. She walked over with a polite smile and took the luggage from him. “I called a taxi. It’ll be here soon, so no need for you to drive me. Thanks for all the rides to the hospital recently. I’ll treat you to a meal when I get the chance.”

Her fingers clung tightly to the suitcase handle, her smile strained.

“Why call a taxi? Even if you’ve resigned, I can still give you a lift. We’re friends, after all,” Huey said, his brow creased with concern. “Where are you moving to? Is it far?”

Bailee nodded. “Yes, quite far, and I really don’t want to trouble you. Once I’m settled and have a new job, you must come over for dinner.”

“Then at least let me know where you’re moving to,” Huey said.

Just then, the taxi arrived and honked. Bailee walked toward it with her suitcase, giving Huey a wave. “I’ll let you know once I’m settled,” she said, placing her suitcase in the backseat and climbing in. She waved to Huey through the window again as the car drove off.

Bailee gave the driver an address nearby, about a thirty-minute ride. When they arrived, she paid the driver, got out, and entered a modest apartment complex, making her way up to the fifth floor.
