Chapter 303:

Within five minutes, Eileen finalized her plans to leave abroad in three days.

As she hung up the phone, the distinct silence of the night enveloped her, the clock ticking past midnight. The scant light outside cast a somber ambiance through the window. A faint glow shimmered in her clear eyes, and a sudden wave of heartache washed over her. Perhaps sensing her sadness, the little life within her womb stirred, kicking gently.

Her slender, pale fingers covered her abdomen, and a hint of softness crept into her expression involuntarily. At least, the child was safe.

It had been a while since she last saw Phoebe, and she had only informed Phoebe about her impending departure on the eve of her leaving. She hoped this last-minute notice would prevent a meeting, considering Phoebe was unaware of her pregnancy.

However, Phoebe rushed over immediately after hanging up the phone, carrying a pile of items. She knocked on the door and complained as she entered, holding the ingredients.

“Eileen, you’re leaving tomorrow, and you’re just telling me now? That’s rather thoughtless of you. Did you even consider having one final meal together with me before your departure? Can we still be friends—”

Her words stopped abruptly as her eyes fell on Eileen’s rounded belly. With a loud thud, the items in her hands fell to the floor.

Phoebe’s eyes widened in disbelief, and after a moment, she rubbed them vigorously, as if trying to confirm what she was seeing. She then quickly attempted to calm herself and sank onto the sofa.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming here?” Eileen observed Phoebe’s dramatic reaction.

Phoebe sat up straight abruptly, looking at her. “Whose child is it?”

“Who do you think?” Eileen countered.

Suddenly, Phoebe slapped her forehead hard. “The scoundrel, does he know?”

Bailee and Ruby stood anxiously in the dining room, fearing Phoebe might say something that would upset Eileen.

In the days leading up to her departure, Eileen had been absent-minded, often standing by the window, lost in thought. They didn’t know exactly what she was thinking, but they could hazard a guess. There was no doubt she was thinking of Bryan.

Leaving the country was the best option for Eileen, providing a peaceful environment for her childbirth. The encounter at the supermarket, where they had unexpectedly bumped into Bryan, had left Ruby feeling terrified.
