Chapter 181 My Promise To You
The nurse, holding the discarded tools in her hands, walked towards the disposal room. Upon hearing an argument from inside, she was so frightened that she quickly retreated.
The office was filled with a faint smell of blood.
A piece of flesh, bloody and encased in an instrument, took on a peculiar shape. In several noticeable areas, infection had set in, and soon, the color of that lump of flesh began to change.
That was the deformed uterus that was removed from Eileen.
“At first, I said there might be a chance to salvage this, but that was just to comfort you. As you can see from its condition, it’s already infected. It’s not in its original state anymore, and it’s only getting worse inside Eileen. If we didn’t remove it in time, she might not have survived.” Zachary picked it up and casually tossed it into the trash bin. “If she can’t have a child, she can always adopt one. There are countless people who are devoted to someone like Eileen. Is having children really that important?”
Zachary looked into his pitch-black eyes, and the aura emanating from him was something he had never experienced before.
“What’s the matter? Are you having second thoughts? Are you regretting it now?”
Zachary picked up the cigarette box on the table, put a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it. Suddenly, he started laughing. “Eric, don’t tell me you’ve developed feelings for her. You can’t joke about this. Being with her is a heinous act!”
“You’re overthinking it. After uttering these words, Eric walked out but paused at the door. “Don’t forget to clean up. No one can know about this.”
“You still don’t trust me with this?”
Zachary looked at the figure disappearing outside the door, pinched out the cigarette in his hand, and took off his Blake lab coat. He walked into a private lounge where a strikingly attractive woman lay still in her clothes. Her appearance was full of charm. She had her closed, appearing as if she was still not fully awake.

Zachary couldn’t care less about these matters. He threw off the covers, took off his pants, and turned the mature woman over. Without any foreplay, he went straight into her deepest.

Awakened by his movements, she wrapped her legs around his waist, mirroring his actions. Together, they lost themselves in pleasure.

Zachary, clutching the woman’s neck, laughed wickedly. “Has Jasper ever seen you in sell
lascivious state?”
There wasn’t a trace of pain or suffocation on the woman’s face. Clearly, the effects of the medicine hadn’t worn off yet.
Seeing a hint of clarity in her eyes, the man intensified his actions.
The woman hummed softly in response.
“Look at me! Look at who’s taking you on today!”
Elm peeled an apple and placed it by the bed, already cut into small pieces.
“I can’t eat anything right now. I need to wait a few days. You should go back to school! Don’t let me interfere with your studies. Someone from the Smith family will be here soon.”
“Mm.” Elm left to go to the receptionist to pay, only to find that the bill had already been settled.
When he asked to see the bill, it was listed as a routine appendicitis surgery.
Half an hour after Elm left, the members of the Smith family arrived.
Upon hearing the news, Jasper immediately left his ongoing meeting and rushed straight to the hospital.
Just as Eileen finished hanging one infusion bottle, with two more to go, she heard hurried, chaotic footsteps echoing from the corridor. The door swung open quickly, and Eileen saw

Fabian consciously stood guard outside the door. After the nurse finished administering the injection, she, too, left. In the vast ward, they were the only ones remaining.
Jasper sat down by her bed, his palm gently stroking her face. “The school called and said something happened to you, so I rushed over,” he said. “Are you okay?”
Eileen merely met his gaze, then somewhat guiltily looked away. She wasn’t sure what she was feeling guilty about. Is it because I remember how I had used him, or is it because I’ve been keeping secrets from him?
Jasper said. “The hospital said it was just an appendicitis surgery. It’s nothing serious. You’ll recover quickly, so there’s no need to worry. Just focus ea getting better in the hospital…
Eileen lowered her gaze leaning on the bed, looking at her hand resting on the quilt. Her long hair was scattered, and her delicate, fair face was pale from weakness. “It wasn’t an appendicitis surgery,” she said. “It was a hysterectomy!”

Suddenly, a sense of heaviness descended upon Jasper’s heart.
After saying those words, Eileen seemed to feel much lighter, yet she still didn’t dare to look at him. “The appendicitis surgery was just a ruse to deceive my father. I didn’t want to lie to you!”
“Why?” Jasper asked.
Gathering a shred of courage, Eileen finally met his gaze, slowly saying, “Because if my father were to know that I couldn’t bear children, I might not be able to attend high school, let alone university… Perhaps after graduating from high school, I would be sold off.”
She thought she would be sold to those older men who were already married. At their age, they would already have their own children. Whether Eileen could bear children wouldn’t matter to them.
Her youth and beauty were her greatest a*sets.
“I don’t want that to happen, so I have no choice but to keep it from him,” she said.
Is this what the Swan family is like? Jasper held her icy hand. “Eileen, if two people truly love. each other, whether they have children or not is not important!”
Just a few words seemed to pause Eileen’s heart for a second. Her eyes blinked in surprise. She smiled, but her eyes were filled with pain. “You don’t need to comfort me. No one would. be okay with it. No matter what, it’ll always be an obstacle. Jasper, the only reason I chose to go to the Smith residence was to use your influence to escape these threats. I’m sorry… I didn’t want to deceive you, either.”
Jasper gripped her hand tighter. “I will protect you. That’s my promise to you. The day I confessed my feelings to you, no matter what you become, I will still be fond of you.”
Eileen was astonished. Never before had anyone spoken to her in such a manner.
No one had ever rea*sured her that the inability to bear children wasn’t a problem.
Even Eileen herself had a deep preoccupation with whether she could have children.
In her previous life, the chances of her getting pregnant were very slim.
Consequently, she had to turn a blind eye, even when she knew Eric was being unfaithful.
She convinced herself that not being able to have children was her fault, and it was understandable for him to have a child with another woman.
Therefore, she allowed him to do whatever he pleased without causing a scene.

That evening, Vera finished school, and Eric went to pick her up. At that moment, Vera informed Eric about what had happened with Eileen.
When the two of them visited her at the hospital, the nurse informed them. The patient has already been taken away.”
Needless to say, they had already guessed who had taken Eileen.
Vera expressed her concern by asking. “Eileen hasn’t fully recovered yet. How could she leave? What if something happens?”
The nurse chuckled and replied, “Young lady, you’re not aware, are you? The one who took her away was none other than the CEO of Smith Corporation, and the Smith family has a personal physician as competent as our doctors here. However, the patient herself requested. to be discharged. Besides, Mr. Smith wanted to take the patient away, so our hands were tied.”
