Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 124

Chapter 124:

It was nearly time to leave work. The corridor buzzed with doctors and nurses clad in white gowns. Eileen only caught a glimpse of a retreating figure dressed in black.

She couldn’t clearly discern if the figure was male or female. However, she thought she heard a voice that sounded much like Bryan’s. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she instinctively started to chase after the figure.

“Eileen, where are you going?” Austen called out as he stepped out of the room, his wound now dressed.

Eileen halted abruptly and regained her composure. She smiled at Austen and explained, “I thought I saw someone I knew; I must have been mistaken.”

She turned and rejoined him. Together, they discussed Ruby’s condition as they exited the hospital.

At the corridor’s end was Bryan. He leaned against the railing, on the phone with Zola.

Zola complained, “Please take care of Milford for a while. Your parents are still upset about you going to Wist Land. You left and have to handle the mess. Now you can relax while they pressure me to marry, and I can’t even get away.”

Bryan raised an eyebrow and replied, “You could just leave, like I did.”

“Well, you’re a Dawson by blood, but I’m just adopted. I can’t afford to be as reckless as you,” Zola responded, her tone resigned, knowing her limitations.

Bryan laughed upon hearing her complaints. “Didn’t you promise to always stand up for me, like a true sister would?” he asked.

With a dismissive snort, Zola replied, “I need to hang up now. There’s a lot of work waiting for me.”

She ended the call before Bryan had the chance to respond further.

Bryan sighed deeply. Then, his gaze followed Eileen and Austen as they departed from the hospital.

He noticed that Eileen still carried herself with refined elegance—unchanged except for a slight increase in weight that softened her features and silhouette.

Bryan watched her for a moment before heading back.

Eileen’s tutoring sessions primarily took place on weeknights, with additional preparation for Saturday online classes done well in advance.

As she could manage some of her tasks at the hospital, she spent most weekdays there, accompanied by Bailee.

Upon returning to Ruby’s ward after bidding Austen farewell, Eileen observed Bailee tenderly holding Ruby’s hand and dabbing at her tears. Bailee was usually good at concealing her sadness in Eileen’s presence.

Eileen held back from entering until Bailee had regained her composure.

As soon as Eileen appeared, Bailee quickly dried her tears and averted her gaze, asking, “What did Dr. Potter say?”

Eileen chose to ignore the obvious signs of Bailee’s distress as she answered, “We’re still waiting for one indicator to meet the standard, but it is nearly there.”

After preparing another bed in the room for Bailee, Eileen settled down on the sofa to sleep.
