Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 62 Where Is Your Family

His gaze was so intense that it seemed like he wanted to devour her.

Eileen looked away, sitting on the edge of the bed with her head hanging, too afraid to meet his eyes.

In a soft voice, she said, “You’ve always protected me so fiercely since I was little, which is why I wanted to see the outside world. Eric… I’m sorry… I won’t run away again, and I won’t throw tantrums anymore.”

Arguing with Eric right now would be unwise.

Eric was already twenty-six, and Will was considering early retirement. Will was waiting for the right time to fully hand over the company to Eric.

Thus, she felt trapped, like a mouse in a trap, unable to escape.

At the end of the day, she could never outsmart Eric. Eileen should have realized it from the beginning. Since she couldn’t escape from the Swan family, she could only accept her fate. As long as she didn’t marry Eric, the tragedy of her past life wouldn’t repeat itself.

“My dad wants me to get married as soon as I finish college, and I’ve agreed to it, no matter who the person is. But, Eric, could you help me tell my dad that I want to choose who I marry? I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in an unhappy marriage.”

A shadowy look appeared in Eric’s eyes, but suddenly, he started laughing. He reached out and gently stroked her head. “Eileen, you’re still young, there’s no need for you to worry about these things. Right now, just focus on recovering. As for the future… we’ll talk about it. later…”

If she could, Eileen really wanted to slap him across the face and yell at him, “Isn’t all of this your fault? Why are you pretending to be the good guy in front of me? You’ve completely. ruined all my plans.”

Just as she had gained a sense of independence, he took it away from her decisively.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. “Mr. Snow, the check-up is complete. Ms. Blake is fine now. She can leave once the bill is settled.”

Eileen saw Vera, looking pale, standing next to the nurse. Vera was frowning and clutching her stomach as if she was in great pain.

After briefly glancing at Vera, Eileen looked away. It turned out that Eric had come to the hospital to accompany Vera for a medical check-up.

Eric didn’t say a word as he left the ward.

However, Eileen could hear their conversation at the door.

“You’re lactose intolerant, so you should avoid drinking milk in the future.”

Vera said, “It was prepared by Sharon. She said it would help me sleep if I drank it at night. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to drink it. But… Eric, the food that Sharon makes is really delicious! Can I always cat the food made by Sharon?”

Eric agreed, “Of course.”

“But Sharon needs to go back and take care of Eileen, so let’s forget it! However, I can ask Sharon to teach me how to cook, so I can make it myself in the future whenever I feel like it.”

“No need, Sharon won’t be going back for now. Whatever you want to eat, you can ask her to make it for you anytime. I’ll go and talk to Eileen about it.”

“Isn’t that a bad idea?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it.”

As their voices faded, Eileen could no longer hear what they were saying. She clutched the quilt tightly as her chest felt unbearably heavy, as if she couldn’t breathe. Apart from Sharon, she had no one else, and now they were even trying to take Sharon away from her.

As the gentle moonlight filled the room, its previous tranquility returned. Eileen’s fever had not yet subsided, and in her hazy state, she felt a sense of desolation. This feeling was reminiscent of a past life, where she was alone in a cold hospital room, dying in solitude.

Haunted by nightmares that night, Eileen clutched her pillow and began to weep uncontrollably.

Her sobs echoed throughout the ward, unheard by anyone. As loneliness filled the air, even the faintest glimmer of light was swallowed by the darkness.

It felt as though she was the only person left in the world.

The next day, Eileen’s body temperature didn’t drop and instead rose even higher. Her body burned as tears hung from her long lashes.

She was so distressed that she started to talk incoherently. If the nurse hadn’t noticed her condition early enough, Eileen would have been driven to madness by her fever.

The caregiver that Gavin had arranged for only arrived at noon. Sharon, who was used to taking care of Eileen, came early in the morning with fresh clothes for her. Seeing Eileen in such discomfort, Sharon couldn’t help but wipe away her tears. If she had known earlier, she

would never have let her stay in such a place.

This child has never experienced hardship since she was young. Sharon simply couldn’t express the regret that overwhelmed her.

After receiving the acetaminophen injection, Eileen’s temperature significantly decreased.

However, she still showed no signs of waking up.

Since Sharon had to return home and couldn’t be at the hospital to care for Eileen, she informed the nurse about everything to be mindful of while taking care of her, including what she should eat and what she should avoid.

Eileen had almost slept for an entire day and night before she finally woke up.

The nurse, a woman in her thirties, held a bowl of pumpkin oatmeal and fed it to Eileen. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

After only a few bites, Eileen suddenly felt her stomach churn, causing her to vomit. everything she had eaten.

As the oatmeal and pumpkin were prepared on the spot, the pumpkin was still not fully cooked. Eating it half-raw made Eileen feel uncomfortable all over.

The caregiver quickly handed her the trash bin to vomit into, patting her back with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Once the moon over the manor was shining brightly, the nurse poured her a glass of water to rinse her mouth.

“Do you still want to eat the oatmeal?”

Eileen was retching so hard that her stomach cramped. Her face was pale as she weakly shook. her head. “I don’t. Just throw it away.” Other than the meals cooked by Sharon, she just couldn’t get used to food from anywhere else. She figured that her stomach was probably too spoiled.

She suddenly craved the chestnut pie made by Sharon. However, she had no idea what Sharon was up to these days, as it felt like it had been a long time since Sharon last visited. her.

Matilda, the caregiver, felt it was a pity to waste the oatmeal since she had spent money on it. If Eileen didn’t eat it, she planned to save it and reheat it at home. She just couldn’t bear to let it go to waste.

Afterwards, Matilda took the afternoon off to attend to some matters at home, so Eileen let

her go.

Most of the time, Eileen was alone in the hospital room, used to the solitude except for the occasional visit from a nurse.

As she looked at the clear, cloudless sky outside, she thought it was a perfect day for shopping.

However, Eileen sat on the bed, spending most of her time staring into.

space.

In her mind, Eileen recalled the doctor’s words of caution.

The doctor looked solemnly at the medical report in the file and asked, “Where is your family? Isn’t anyone accompanying you?”

Eileen replied, “They are all very busy, doctor… Is there something wrong? Please tell me directly.”

The doctor informed her, “We have discovered that you have a congenital uterine malformation that requires surgical treatment. If you don’t undergo surgery as soon as possible, your chances of getting pregnant are very slim. If you do manage to conceive before your uterus is stabilized, there is a high risk of miscarriage and you may not be able to carry the baby to full term. In more severe cases, this condition could even develop into. uterine cancer. As your doctor, I strongly advise you to have the surgery as soon as possible. The medical facilities in Hulbury are quite advanced now. The sooner we perform the operation, the lower the surgical risks.”

“I understand. I would like to discuss this with my family first, and then I will get back to you. Is that okay?”
