Chapter 199

Chapter 199:

Milford bowed his head and focused on his plate, eating quickly. He kept his face close to the plate to hide his emotions.

The next morning, Eileen headed to the hospital to collect Bailee and Ruby. Bailee had already prepared Ruby for departure. As Eileen arrived, Austen was just about to enter the ward.

“Dr. Potter, an early Merry Christmas to you,” Eileen greeted Austen cheerfully as she held the door open for him.

Austen entered the ward with a grin. “Merry Christmas to all three of you. Though it’s just the beginning, each year will bring more improvements.” He then shared a few important reminders. The most crucial advice was to prevent Ruby from falling. For now, they were to continue feeding Ruby liquid food through her gastric tube daily.

“This is the final course of the targeted therapy. The treatment concludes in three days. Be sure to let her take the medicine regularly. After Christmas, register her for the rehabilitation program. I believe attending twice a week will show significant progress,” Austen said.

While Ruby could perform some rehabilitation exercises at home, professional guidance would accelerate her recovery. Eileen expressed her gratitude to Austen multiple times before she, Bailee, and Ruby left for home.

Despite having heard Eileen’s prior descriptions, Bailee was still taken aback by the grandeur of Lakeside Villa upon seeing it for the first time. The luxuriousness of the house made her feel somewhat out of place.

“Eileen, is it really suitable for us all to move in here?” Bailee whispered after they exited the car, gently pulling Eileen closer.

“We’re only celebrating Christmas here,” Eileen replied. “I’ve rented another villa close by. The owner will finalize the contract after the holiday. You and Mom can move there after Christmas. This way, it will be easier for me to visit you.”
