Chapter 138:

Ruby’s hand twitched again at the sound of Eileen’s voice. Immediately, the machine beside Ruby emitted a pair of beeps.

Bailee promptly reached for the emergency button, summoning a swift response from a team of doctors who flooded into the room.

Despite Austen’s absence, Austen’s assistant, Jaden Calderon, stayed in the hospital today.

Familiar with Ruby’s condition, Jaden, after examining Ruby, delivered encouraging news with a smile: “This is a promising sign. Your mother has responded to your words!”

Eileen and Bailee couldn’t contain their joy, tears welling in their eyes as they looked at Ruby with hope.

“Continue talking to her. Let us know of any developments,” Jaden advised before hurrying off to inform Austen of the positive progress.

Eileen and Bailee spent the entire afternoon by Ruby’s side, conversing with her and holding her hand, not stopping until late into the night.

The following day unfolded similarly.

Despite Ruby’s lack of further progress, Eileen and Bailee remained happy.

In the evening, Eileen received an unexpected call from Emmett.

“Ms. Curtis, I’m in a bit of a predicament. Could you lend me a hand?” Emmett asked.

“Of course,” Eileen replied, standing up and moving to the window to answer the phone in a hushed tone.

Emmett hesitated for a moment before admitting, “The parents of a few students I tutor have been contacting me incessantly. Despite my best efforts, the students’ exam results continue to disappoint. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m approaching this the wrong way, and I’m at a loss for how to help them improve.”

As the night wore on, the neon lights outside flickered to life, casting a soft glow in the hospital.

Eileen’s slender figure was outlined against the window as she furrowed her brow and asked, “Have you adjusted your teaching methods based on their feedback and focused on addressing their weaknesses?”

“Yes, but I can’t seem to figure out why their grades aren’t getting better. Maybe my teaching isn’t effective. Ms. Curtis, could you spare some time on weekends to coach me? I need guidance on how to explain concepts better to my students,” Emmett said anxiously.

However, with a glance at Ruby, Eileen firmly declined, “I’m unavailable on weekends.”

On the other end of the line, Emmett fell into silence.

“If you’re willing, I can wrap up my tutoring sessions by around nine o’clock Monday to Friday and then meet with you. Let’s make it concise. One week should be sufficient. And I’ll compensate you for the additional time,” Eileen suggested, knowing it was the best she could offer.

Emmett readily agreed, stating, “Absolutely, and there’s no need for overtime pay. I truly appreciate your assistance.”

“Then let’s get started right away. Beginning tonight, you can wait for me at the agency after your shift. I’ll arrive. It’s understandable. Now, tell me the situation about your students,” Eileen replied, placing her bag on a nearby chair before taking a seat across from Emmett.

Emmett gathered the examination papers of several of his students, sat down, and asked, “Ms. Curtis, are you married?”
