Chapter 307

Chapter 307:

The female doctor paused briefly after treating Dalores’ wounds, then placed two more ointments on the table.

“Use these twice daily. She needs to rest for at least a week,” the doctor instructed.

After giving her instructions, the doctor departed. In the dimly lit lounge, the figure on the bed appeared exceptionally delicate.

Julio watched her for a moment before tossing his cigarette into the trash and making his way to his office.

“I have a meeting,” he muttered before walking out.

Once he was gone, Dalores opened her eyes. Tears gathered and rolled down her face.

She struggled to put on her torn clothes and limped out of the office, enduring the pain.

She didn’t look back as she left.

Hurrying away, she failed to notice the person observing her from a window outside the office. His gaze was cold and detached.

Meanwhile, Eileen and Josue had two additional meetings, with Wayne present. Following thorough discussions about the project, Josue agreed to sign the contract.

It had only taken two weeks to finalize the agreement, and Eileen felt fortunate.

But Josue knew luck had little to do with it. Bryan had played a pivotal role in making it happen.

Josue emailed the signed contract to Bryan and video-called him late that night.

The light in Bryan’s room was still on, revealing a corner of a wooden bookshelf. It was clear he hadn’t retired for the night yet.

“Just tell me. What’s going on?” Josue asked, taken aback. “Is Apex Group going under? You can’t sleep because you’re worried?”

“Stop beating around the bush. Did you sign the contract?” Bryan’s voice was calm but firm as he absentmindedly stroked the spine of a book with his fingertip.

He was in West Villas, a place he hadn’t visited in a long time.

It felt slightly unfamiliar. Eileen hadn’t come here often, yet her presence seemed to linger in the space.

“Yes, I signed it. Don’t I always follow your directions?” Josue replied with a hint of frustration.

Josue gave a wry smile. “Aren’t you swamped with Apex Group’s matters? How do you find time to interfere here?”

His tone was laced with subtle curiosity, probing for details about Bryan and Eileen’s connection.

Bryan didn’t take the bait. “Don’t release the rest of the funds yet, and keep the promising projects on hold. Transfer them back home when the time is right.”

“It’s fortunate to have you as a business partner, yet unfortunate to have to dip into my profits to assist you,” Josue sighed deeply.

With Bryan refusing to open up, Josue decided to drop the subject.

After ending the call, Bryan sat still in his chair, his gaze distant and unfocused.

It felt like he had forgotten the life he’d lived before Eileen had entered it.
