Chapter 1281


    Eileen didn''t go out to watch them leave. She was standing by the window.


    She stood there, watching Brad being taken into the helicopter, and then they were gone. Her heart


    felt a ceaseless pain.


    But it was so much better than the first time she was separated from Brad.


    She believed that Brad could do it.


    On the top of the building...

    Luke picked up Brad with one arm and strode into the helicopter.


    Brandy quickly handed Luke the headset.


    Luke took the headset and put it on Brad’s head. Then he put the headset on himself. Seeing the


    bite mark on Luke''s hand, Brandy froze. "Mr. Bennington, what happened to your hand? Did you get


    bitten by something? Should we go to the hospital first?"


    Luke nced at the bite mark. He said indifferently, "It was a dog."


    The flood in the street hadn''t subsided.


    Eileen couldn’t go anywhere. She had to stay in her room.


    Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She picked u p the phone. It was from apany''s HR. The woman


    said she had read her resume and invited her to an interview.


    It was an animation designpany. They needed cartoonists to draw cartoon characters.


    Eileen was actually good at drawing cartoon characters, but she wanted to be an artist and paint


    her own works, not to be a cartoonist.


    But this was her only opportunity for the present. She couldn''t miss it. She thought she should take


    the job for now. As for the rest, she would consider it in the long run.


    She searched thepany on the inte. It was argepany and a very famous one.


    They offered her a good sry. She intended to take it.


    However, she was worried that her body condition would not allow it. She didn''t say yes right away


    but said she would consider it.


    Then, she called her doctor.


    The doctor understood her concern and told her, "It depends on the individual''s condition. Some


    people have little reaction. Their bodies tolerate the chemotherapy drugs well, and they can go to


    work right after the chemotherapy. But some people can''t."


    "I see," Eileen said.


    She nned to go to thepany when the roads were clear to talk to the HR and inform her about


    her health condition.


    On the third day, the flood on the road subsided and traffic resumed.


    Early in the morning, Eileen went to the florist and bought a bouquet of roses. Then she went to the


    cemetery.


    It was Merlin''s birthday.


    Eileen ced the red roses in front of the tomb. She slowly sat down and whispered," Merlin, I know


    the red rose is your favorite flower, and that you always wished the man to buy you a bouquet of red


    roses. But


    today it''s I who bring you the roses, not he. "


    The man Eileen was referring to was Kingsley.


    "You used to tell me that Kingsley was too gentle and mild with you, and I used to say that you were


    not content with your life. I had met him once, and I always thought that a man like him should be a


    gentleman and courteous.”


    "But when I saw him and his wife several days before, I realized that I was wrong. Although he is a


    gentleman, he is an ordinary man. Although he has always been a mature and introverted man, I


    saw him kiss his wife in front of people. It seems that he doesn''t love you after all."


    Eileen went on, "You alwaysugh at me for being too attached to a man. What about you


    anyway?"


    Eileen was silent for a while. Then she continued, "There''s one more important thing I want to tell


    you. Luke and I are divorced. I''m tired. I can’t hold out any longer."


    "You brought in Grandpa to persuade me to marry Luke. I didn''t want to marry him at first. I knew he


    only had Zora in his heart."


    "He always loved Zora, and she was always on his mind. He often talked about Zora. At first, I didn''t


    agree to marry him. Do you know why I changed my mind the next day?"


    It was silent all around. asionally, the wind blew through, making a whistling sound. Other than


    that, there was only tranquility.


    "Grandpa and I had a long talk that night, and that was the night I learned that Grandpa was


    seriously ill. He might not live long. And you were also seriously sick. Your condition was getting


    worse and worse. There were just the three of you in the Bennington family. If Grandpa died and


    you were also..."


    Eileen closed her eyes.


    "Luke would be the only one left in the world! Zora was dead, and so were you and Grandpa. It


    would be a huge blow to Luke. M y heart ached at the idea like it was being torn apart. I felt so


    painful for the grief your brother was about to endure."


    "I am an orphan. I don''t have anyone in this world. I knew too well about the loneliness and pain, so


    that''s when I decided to marry Luke, both for Brad and for him."
