Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 129 Chapter 129: They got into the elevator, and Eileen stood in the corner with her back pressed against the wall.

Instead of pressing a button, Bryan looked at her and asked, "Tellwhere." Eileen was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "I don't live by myself anymore, and I need to go to the hospital tonight!" Without warning, Bryan walked to her and braced both hands on either side of her head, caging her in.

"I'm asking where you parked your car," he said, his voice low and mocking.

"At the building entrance," Eileen replied. She deftly ducked under his arms and went to press the button for the first floor.

She stayed right by the doors and grimaced in shame.

The man behind her let out a light chuckle, but she was too embarrassed to pay more attention to it.

Eileen's car couldn't compare to Bryan's Mercedes-Benz. Bryan slipped into the passenger seat and had to struggle to get his legs into a comfortable position.

Once he did, he tossed his suit jacket to the backseat and fastened his seatbelt. Then, he leaned back, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes.

Eileen started the engine, the windows partially down, letting the night breeze into the car.

Eileen drove straight in the direction of the Pianoforte Villas and was suddenly struck with the realization that the first tshe had been there was when she had accidentally run into Bryan after his shower.

Your storytelling begins at g al no vs,She now wondered if that was just a coincidence or...

She shook the memory away and said, "So, Mr. Dawson, about the—" Eileen failed to finish her sentence when she saw Bryan looking fast asleep.

He had a well-defined profile that lent him a commanding presence even in this state.

Eileen decided to put the conversation off for the moment and continued to drive in silence.

She pulled over at the community gates of the Pianoforte and cleared her throat. "We have arrived, Mr. Dawson." "Okay." Bryan, who was supposedly asleep, answered almost immediately. He unfastened his seatbelt in one swift motion, then opened the passenger side door.

Bryan straightened his wrinkled shirt after he got out of the car. Then, he simply walked away without another word or a single backward glance.

Eileen fell back in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief. As she watched Bryan walking farther and farther away, she could feel the tension in the car subside.

Suddenly, she realized that they hadn't spoken about Milford's tutoring lessons at all.

"Wait!" Eileen scrambled out of the car and tried to call out to Bryan, but his figure had already disappeared around the corner.

Eileen got back in her car and slammed the door in frustration. She ran her hands through her hair, feeling dejected. Her tand effort had gone to waste this time. She would have to find another opportunity to talk to him.

Eileen tidied up her hair, took a deep breath, and drove to the hospital.

It was already past eleven when she walked into the ward. Bailee was still up, waiting for her.

"What took you so long? It's already so late." Bailee had wanted to call Eileen several times and urge her to return early, but she didn't want to impose on Eileen's business.

She had settled for a few reminders via WhatsApp, but Eileen's replies had been vague.

Eileen changed into slippers and shook her head resignedly. "Something unexpected cup." She didn't plan to tell Bailee about her encounter with Bryan. He was only here for a business trip anyway. He would be gone sooner or later.

"You must be tired. Wash up and go to bed. Dr. Potter was by this evening and said he has surgery scheduled for tomorrow, but he will ctalk to us about Mom's condition once he's done." While talking, Bailee went into the bathroom and opened the tap to run Eileen swarm water.

"All right," Eileen said with a smile. "You should rest; I'll take it from here." When Austen cto visit the next morning, Bailee and Eileen were wiping and cleaning Ruby's room.

Seeing Austen, they quickly stopped what they were doing and covered Ruby with a blanket.

"Sit down," Austen began as he looked over Ruby's medical records. "Your mother is stable as of now, and her vitals are all I wouldm uggest that we we start electroshock therapy on her by next week. If we do that, however, she will need someone to stay with her the entire time. You may decide among yourselves who it will be, or you may also choose to take turns. The important thing is that you make the necessary arrangements while it's still early." "I see. Thank you, doctor. We will discuss it later," Eileen said.

After thinking about it for a moment, Eileen asked, "Assuming that the electroshock therapy is effective, how soon are we going to see results?"

"The effects are apparent in the early stages. Spatients respond to the treatment within three to five days.

For others, it may take if they to twon months, but if there is no response after four months of therapy, then that is an indication the treatment is not working. If it comes to that, you have no choice but to give up," Austen adjusted his glasses and sighed. “You have to understand, this treatment doesn't work on everyone." Just like that, Bailee's and Eileen's high spirits were dampened.

Eileen patted Bailee's shoulder to comfort her and gave the doctor a small smile. "We understand. No matter what it takes, as long as there is a chance for her to recover, we are willing to give the treatment a shot. Thank you, Dr. Potter." They exchanged a few more words. Then, Austen took his leave.

After talking about their schedules, it was decided that Bailee would stay in the hospital to watch over Ruby.

Bailee handed over her charges to other members of the educational institution while Eileen continued to focus on her work.

On the night of the weekend, Eileen was leaving the hospital when she glanced in the mirror and noticed a piece of clothing crumpled in the back seat.

Bryan's suit jacket.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Eileen pulled out her phone and dialed an all-too-familiar number.
