    Chapter 128 Where Was Elm Last Night?


    After an hour and a half, Elm shook her leg. “Hey, wake up. Let’s go.”

    On the contrary, she sleptfortably.


    Eileen had slept so soundly that when she woke up, Elm had already finished the IV drip and was


    applying an alcohol swab to the back of his hand.


    Checking her phone, she was surprised to see that it was almost one o’clock.


    In response, she yawned.


    “Did you remember everything I just told you?”


    “Why are you still thinking about this at this hour? Let’s discuss it tomorrow.”


    Elm picked up his bag, walked to the counter, paid the bill, and received some medicine.


    The elderly doctor looked at Elm through his reading sses. “Young man, you need to take good care


    of your kidneys. I’m not joking. If it bes serious, you might actually be infertile.”


    “Come on, when will you stop, old man?” Elm said, somewhat fiercely..


    Eileen scolded him, “You must not be rude to the elderly. Doctor, I understand. Rest assured, I will


    make sure he takes his medicine.”


    “Look at that, this girl is so sensible.”


    When Eileen spoke to the doctor, she didn’t seem like she was lying.


    Carrying arge bag of medicine, Elm left the clinic with her.


    “Did you hear what the doctor just said? You should cut down on smoking and drinking. Elm…”


    “Whatever it is, just tell me!”


    “I just noticed the scars on your back and stomach. Where did theye from?”


    “Do you care about me?” His voice was deep and soft, like a pleasing melody in one’s ear.


    Elm looked at her with a raised eyebrow. His gaze was deep and affectionate, as if he was flirting with


    her.

    Eileen had long since be immune to all that. She had lived two lifetimes, and if her agr was added


    up, she could easily be his mother.


    Even if she cared for him, it was nothing more than maternal love.


    How are you nning to get back?”


    “If I can’t find a taxi at this hour, I’ll have to stay at a hotel. What about you?”


    I’ve rented a house nearby. It’s just up ahead.”


    Elm patted his pocket and pulled out his wallet. With a furrowed brow, he said, “I forgot my ID. Can I


    stay at your ce tonight?”


    Eileen narrowed her eyes at him. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he had nned everything in


    advance.


    Fine, I’ll just take it as doing a good deed.


    Eileen led him into the room she had rented.


    After entering, he made himselffortable, sprawling out on the couch. The couch was a bit old, so


    she had bought a nket to cover it. However, it wasn’t quite long enough. Elm, being a tall man of


    over 1.8 meters, had his feet sticking out.


    After boiling some water, she went to the room and fetched two quilts. “Get up. I need to spread the


    quilts over the couch before you sleep.”


    Elm stood up to make room for Eileen.


    After sheid out the quilt, Elm stood behind her and asked, “When did you be so kind- hearted?”


    Eileen replied, “I always have been.”


    As for why, both of them knew it in their hearts. They just didn’t say it out loud.


    Eileen took out the unused toiletries from her room. She had kept them as a backup, never expecting


    to need them that day.


    After the water was ready, she got him to take his medicine. The herbal medicine could only be


    consumed the next day, as it was toote at night.


    Elm came out of the bathroom to find that Eileen had already poured some water and ced it on the


    coffee table. “Remember to take your medication first.”


    After taking care of his needs, she was so tired that she couldn’t bear it any longer. She went

    be bathroom for a quick shower.


    Wher she returned to her room, she almost fell asleep immediately.


    She didn’t have any dreanis that night.


    By the time she woke up naturally, it was seven o’clock. Although she only had half an hour, it was


    more than enough for Eileen.


    With her hair tied up in a ponytail, Eileen opened the door and stepped out. She nced at the couch


    and saw that the nket had already been neatly folded and ced on it.


    From the looks of it, she assumed that Elm had already left.


    Suddenly, the door swung open. It was Elm, dressed in a ck windbreaker, a hat on his head, and a


    few snowkes on his shoulders. He brushed them off before stepping inside.


    “Oh, you’re awake, Ms. Eileen.”


    Eileen asked. “Where have you been?”


    Elm held up two bags of breakfast for her to see. “Breakfast, I bought them downstairs especially for


    you. The milk is still hot.”


    “But I’m runningte.”


    “Oh, then I’ll just throw it away.” The reply was indifferent.


    “You really know how to waste food. I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face, then I’ll eatter.”


    “Alright.” Elm ced the breakfast on the table. He had also bought two bowls of oatmeal, pretzels, and


    pasta. He wasn’t sure what she wanted to eat, so he simply bought a bit of everything.


    After the two finished breakfast, there was still half left. They stored it in the refrigerator forter.


    They didn’t leave together. After taking a bite to eat, Eileen left first.


    Elm still needed to drink his herbal medicine to nourish his kidneys, so she let him use the gas stove.


    She wasn’t worried about what he would do at home. Firstly, she didn’t have as much money as him,


    and secondly, she didn’t have many belongings. There was nothing really worth stealing.


    Walking down the street, Eileen took out her concealer, dabbed a bit with her finger, and applied it


    under her eyes. The sleepless nights over the past few days had deepened her dark


    clex thisinued, not only would her period be prolonged, but she would also


    ually exhaust herself.


    Since the supervisors weren’t there so early in the morning, the study session was entirely up to their


    own mitintive.


    At that point, she was alreadyte, so she might as well


    Jater.


    “Mr. Smith. It’s Ms. Eileen.” Fabian spotted Eileen not far away. She was looking into a mirror and


    seemed to be applying makeup. Her appearance was visibly tired.


    Jasper gazed in the direction she hade from, his amber eyes deep and serene. He tightly held her


    phone, his face devoid of expression.


    “Should we call out to her?”


    Jasper remained silent.


    Fabian had suspected it for a while. Mr. Smith and Ms. Friedman had always been at odds, but today


    he had unusually taken the time to drop her off at school. However, he lingered around afterwards,


    making his intentions obvious. He simply wanted to see Ms. Eileen, nothing more.


    Jasper asked, his tone devoid of emotion, “Where was Elmst night?”


    Fabian replied, “He didn’t return to his condominiumst night. He must be at a bar or a club. However,


    his exact location is unclear at the moment.”


    Jasper knew that Elm had spent the night with Eileen.


    A restless, suffocating feeling began spreading across his chest.


    Jasper hung his head, gently caressing the screen of his phone with his thumb, while his eyes


    darkened. “Did he ignore my instructions? From now on, cut off all his financial resources. Without my


    permission, don’t give him a single penny.”


    I don’t care who he associates with, but if he approaches Eileen with his own desires, I won’t just stand


    by and do nothing, especially when ites to Eileen. She’s just like her filthy mother, only capable of


    using disgusting methods.


    Suddenly, a cold, ruthless glint shed in Jasper’s eyes.


    Fabian replied, “If he asks about it…”


    “Just say it’s my decision. He wouldn’t dare object.”


    “Yes, Mr. Smith.”
