Chapter 202 Have You Lost Your Mind
Eileen arrived at school on Monday, not late, but just in time for the morning self-study.
Upon reaching the cla*sroom, she didn’t see Yvette and Vera.
Not only had Vera missed a single morning study session, but Eileen didn’t see her at all throughout the entire morning.
Could it be… something has happened to Vera?
Eileen was thinking about the time when Vera had an incident. It was so long ago that she could hardly remember many details.
At noon, Natalie invited her to have lunch together, and in the cafeteria, she brought up the matter about Vera.
Natalie said, “I heard it from your cla*smates. Vera has been hospitalized. It seems she accidentally fell into the swimming pool at the Friedman residence. Oh, that’s right, I haven’t seen Elm today either. He hasn’t been to cla*s since last Friday.”
Eileen calmly ate her meal. “My task is already done. He has achieved the grades to get into. Hulbury University. Whether he chooses to study or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Why would you start caring about his affairs?”
Natalie lowered her head. “I see that you two were good friends before…”
What else would he do besides going out on dates?
Did Vera really fall into the swimming pool by accident?
A woman’s intuition is often quite accurate, and Eileen couldn’t help but feel that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Eileen, if you’re worried, I can accompany you to the hospital”
Eileen looked at Natalie, wondering if she should invite her to come along.
That might be a good idea. If Natalie is there, even if Eric is there too, he wouldnt dare to do anything harmful
Furthermore, Vera has lived in the Swan residence for over a decade. Even if she was! officially registered as a member of the Swan family, it was only right that she should pay
them a visit
Abright Sorry for the trouble
No trouble at all We’re friends aren’t we? You’ve helped me so much, so it’s only right that I do this and Natalie as she picked up her backpack from the side, unzipping it. By the way.
leen, you’re the first friend I made at school. My parents gave me a lot of things to bring to you As she spoke, she pulled out bag after bag “These are truffles, cartilaginous, and sation. All grown by our family
I can’t accept something so expensive Abend der deck was de 7 was illed with
“They’re not expensive at all. We’ve planted acres of these. Don’t you like them? I also have beef jerky
Eileen Beef jerky? I thought your family raised pigs?
With a blush on her face, Natalie said somewhat sheepishly, “Actually, we have more cows at home than pigs
Fileen asked, “How much is there?
After some thought, Natalie said, “It’s not that many! Just a few tens of thousands of cattle, and even fewer pigs, only a few thousand
Wow! There’s so much. I bet there’s a past expanse of gra*sland at her home, too
By the looks of it, I might not even be as wealthy as her family.
In the spirit of reciprocity, after accepting her gitis, Eileen also gave her a bracelet that she had bought in Seatown. She didn’t know the price, as Jasper had picked up the tab
Even a single bag of saffion. Eileen had no idea how much it was worth.
If it weren’t for her inability to refuse, Eileen wouldn’t have accepted such valuable tems from her
At the hospital, Eileen bought some fruit, while Natalie purchased a bouquet of flowers
The news of Vera’s hospitalization came from her inquiry to Gavm. It was probably with Enes approval that the location of Vera was disclosed to her
They took a taxi to the hospital
Reaching the door of the ward she heard Versvore Eric. Fin full now You should first With Sharon here to take care of me 11l be fine. If you delay your work Mi Swan will be unhappy
“Eileen? How did you get here? Come in and have a seat.”
Sharon, holding a basin in her hands, had just come out of the toilet when she happened to run into Eileen outside.
Eileen walked into the ward, with Natalie timidly trailing behind her.
“Jasper told me that Vera was hospitalized, so I came over because I was worried.”
Natalie glanced at Eileen without saying much.
Wasn’t I the one who told her?
Sharon took the items from her hands and placed them on the table.
While still in a meeting at Smith Corporation, Jasper sneezed out of the blue.
Silently, Fabian turned up the air conditioning a few degrees.
Don’t tell me the sea breeze gave you a cold.
Vera lowered his head. “Everyone in the school knows about my situation, right?”
Eileen spoke vaguely. “I’ve just returned from Seatown too. I’m glad to hear that you’re fine.”
Sharon asked, “Have you had lunch yet? Shall I get you something?”
Eileen quickly replied, “No need. We already ate before we came.”
Eric stood up, offering his seat. Sharon also dragged over a chair. “Young lady, sit down. You must be tired from standing.”
Natalie had social anxiety. “It’s okay. I’m not tired from standing.”
Eileen stated, “I’m glad Vera is okay. I need to head back to school soon.”
Eric responded, Tm heading back to the oflice anyway. I can drop you off at school.”
Eileen didn’t want to go with him, so she declined, “We can just take a taxi later”
“You all have come to see me, and you must have already spent quite a bit of money It’s only right for Eric to take you back to school. Eileen, please don’t refuse, okay?”
When Vera spoke in such a manner, how could Eileen continue to refuse She nodded in agreement Alright”
The two didn’t stay for long Fileen and Natalie left the hospital right after
Eric also left with them.
The three of them went to the parking lot together.
Eric opened the pa*senger door, his intentions clear.
“It’s fine if I sit at the back with Natalie, Eileen said.
“Are you expecting me to invite you?” His tone was cold, leaving no room for refusal.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Natalie intervened, “It’s okay, Eileen. I can sit by myself. Go ahead and sit in the front.”
Natalie had already opened the pa*senger door and settled herself in.
This guy…
Left with no other choice, Eileen reluctantly took the pa*senger seat.
Throughout the journey, silence filled the car, especially emanating from Eric, as cold and piercing as the weather outside.
Eileen didn’t know what had happened. Seeing him like this, she was certain that someone was trying to harm Vera, which would be the only reason for his anger. Otherwise, Eric wouldn’t be in such a state.
Once they arrived at the school gate, Eileen eagerly swung the car door open.
“I have something to say to her. You can get out of the car first,” Eric said to Natalie.
Slightly embarra*sed, Natalie replied, “All right. Eileen, I’ll wait for you.”
After Natalie got out of the car, Eric locked the car door again.
Eileen’s heart skipped a beat. “What… What are you trying to do? I’m warning you; around. We’re at the school gate. Someone will notice.”
don’t mess
“You’ve actually reminded me.” With a press on the accelerator, Eric’s car immediately sped
off.
The car was speeding, exceeding the limit, nearly colliding with an electric scooter that had just emerged from the intersection. Looking back, Eileen saw the person had already tallen
Eric, have you lost your mind? She still has a child with her!”
He didn’t speak Eileen watched him intently as he ascended an overpa*s.
Chapter 203 You Can Never Compare To Him
Eileen was led to a desolate location, surrounded by mountains, the highest point in Hulbury, and rarely visited by anyone.
Throughout the journey, there were no cameras or other cars in sight. As the car came to a stop, Eileen clung to her seatbelt, her b*dy tensing up. “What are you planning to do?” she asked fearfully,
The man’s hands, with their distinct and attractive knuckles, rested lightly on the steering wheel.
“What happened to Vera has nothing to do with me. I had no involvement in her troubles.”
While Eileen was eager to distance herself, what he cared about the most was Vera.
With fear and trepidation in her eyes, she looked at him. As her words fell silent, the man, caught off guard, leaned in. His fingers threaded through her hair, cradling her head, and he k*ssed her.
“Mmph!”
Humming softly, Eileen struggled fiercely, causing her school uniform to become disheveled.
As she felt the buttons of her clothes being undone, alarm bells rang in her head. Without a second thought, she forcefully pushed him away, instinctively slapping him across the face. Clutching her clothes tightly, her eyelashes glistened with tears. She forced herself to calm down. “Eric, can you please not do this? You already have Vera!”
Eric’s gaze was deep and melancholic, impossible to read. Suddenly, he curved his l*ps, reached out, and wiped the corners of her mouth with his thumb. “So what if I do? You like it too, don’t you? I can feel your response. Eileen, what are you afraid of? Don’t you love your brother the most?”
“You. You’re wrong” Eileen averted her gaze, refusing to listen to his beguiling voice
Ties Enc abruptly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly against him.

Feeling his hand reaching for her skirt, pushing aside the thin layer of fabric, his rough
fingertips gliding over her sensitive area, Eileen felt as if electricity was coursing through her entire b*dy. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Jasper?” she asked.
