Eileen placed the water cup on the bedside table. “No matter what happens, you should always take good care of yourself. Your body is your own.”
She withdrew her hand, only for him to hold onto it. “You told me you’d give me time to figure things out. Does that still hold true?”
Eileen smiled slightly. “If you want me to come back, then I’ll come back…
In reality, there was an imbalance between the two of them. She was always the one who had to compromise.
The reason she came back was not just because of Layla but mostly because of her father,
She overheard the entire phone call between her father and Eric last night.
Simply put, if she couldn’t secure a place in the Smith family, she would be treated as a commodity, givent away to benefit the Swan family and Eric.
She didn’t understand Tm his biological daughter, aren’t I?”
“Why does Father prioritize Eric so much?”
She worked so hard to change and become better, yet her father never paid attention to her.
When she heard that conversation, a chill spread from the bottom of Eileen’s heart to every part of her body. Her worth was merely as a tool for the Swan family to form a mantal allance. What’s more… she was a tool that couldn’t even bear children. Her fate was destined to be even more tragic.
She couldn’t escape from this family. Even if she did, her father would have mumerous ways to bring her
back, not to mention…
She couldn’t prevent Eric from doing whatever he wanted to her.
That night, his journey through the rain to Undella Mansion, solely to find her, had already proven everything.
The moment she saw him. it would be a he to say that Eileen was unaffected.
Now, she didn’t have any choice either.
“Eilect….
… you know, what I desire is for you to return willingly. This time… I will never, ever let you go
Eileen lowered her gaze to their intertwined hands, feeling a fine layer of sweat breaking out in her palms. She wanted to listen to her inner voice, but her heart was too calm. At this moment, she didn’t even know what she was thinking. her mind was blank. “Okay. This is the last time. From now on. if there’s someone you like, you must tell me. I won’t cling to you, but if you deceive me. Jasper… I will be heartbroken.”
“From now on, there will be no one else but you.”
Lafe is short, so let’s give it another shot!”
Chapter 249 What Would You Do
Even if she made a mistake, she still had the chance to start over.
At the very least… in this lifetime, many things have changed…”
In the end. Eileen chose to stay. The room next door remained untouched, with the housekeepers. cleaning it diligently every day, but they dared not touch her belongings.
The last time she left, she had placed it on the table. The supplementary card Jasper gave her was still there, as was the key to the mansion’s main door. They were all in their original places, undisturbed. Everything was just as it used to be.
Eileen’s arrival was like a blessing for the mansion’s housekeepers.
The family doctor examined Jasper and found nothing serious; he just needed an intravenous drip for inflanimation.
No ordinary person would remove so many tattoos all at once.
The family doctor said, “You need to apply the medication on time every day. Also, pay attention to your diet. On good weather days, you can go outside and get some sun. It helps with the healing of your wounds.
Eileen listened attentively, silently taking notes. “All right, I understand. Thank you for your help.
“Ms. Eileen, there’s no need for formalities. This is my job. It’s what I should do.”
Eileen escorted the family doctor to the room’s entrance. Unbeknownst to her, the sky outside had already darkened. More than three hours had passed since she left home.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket. With her back to Jasper, Eileen took out her phone and glanced at it. A message had come in from Eric.
It read: “Be back before half past eight
Pretending not to have seen it, Eileen deleted the message.
“What’s wrong?” a voice asked.
Eileen put away her phone and turned around. “It’s nothing.
“When you arrived, you didn’t bring anything with you. Is there anything important at Undella Mansion that needs to be packed and brought over? If there is, I’ll have Richard go and fetch it!”
“No need. There’s not much to pack up. You have everything here, and most of the important things I’ve left in the room I used to rent. Eileen walked over, tentatively holding his hand, which felt a bit cold from the IV. “Is it a bit chilly? Let me get you a hot water bottle.”
Just stay here with me. That’s all I ask
“Mm, Eileen responded, gently placing his hand under the covers. “Would you like something to eat? You have a sensitive stomach, and an empty stomach can make you uncomfortable while receiving an IV”
No sooner had the worlds been spoken than there was a knock at the door.

The housekeeper said, “Mr. Jasper, Ms. Eileen… please have something to eat. Old Mrs. Smith has instructed me to bring up the oatmeal.”
The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Eileen responded. “Come in.”

The housekeeper pushed the door open, entering the room. Eileen looked at the large bowl of oatmeal in the housekeeper’s hands. It was enough to feed two or three people, but there was only one spoon, along with a small bowl.
“Just leave it. I’ll take care of the rest.
“Of course. Ms. Eileen. Feel free to give me any instructions.”
Eileen asked her to bring a hot water bottle agai
The housekeeper complied and left.
Eileen personally fed him nearly half a bowl.
Just like before, no matter what she did, she always took care of him meticulously.
Jasper reached out suddenly, gently tucking her stray hair behind her ear. I don’t know why, but even though you’re only eighteen, you possess a maturity and steadiness that many of your peers lack. You never throw tantrums. No matter what happens, you always remain so calm… He sighed. “You don’t have to be so composed in front of me. You can get angry with me… At least this way, I can feel that you you care about me, too.”
Noticing that he had stopped eating. Eileen set the food aside and handed him a tissue to wipe his mouth. “Perhaps everyone expresses their emotions differently! The situation was unique at the time, and I really didn’t know what to do You have your own decisions, and I can’t interfere
Jasper responded, “What would you do… if I actually ended up with her?”
Eileen felt as if a giant hand was tightly gripping her heart, causing a slight ache. She looked at him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. I don’t know, maybe… continue living as I did before.”
After all she had experienced. Eileen had finally come to accept it.
No matter what, parting ways with someone else wouldn’t result in anyone’s death.
“At first… it might be challenging, but perhaps with time, it will get easier.”
Time had the power to heal all wounds.
Whether one loved it or not, time would continue to move forward.
There would be an answer…
After Jasper finished his IV drip, he went downstairs
He then enjoyed a lavish dinner with Eileen.

It wasn’t healthy for him to always stay in his room.
For Jasper, Eileen’s presence was like a healing balm.
With her by his side, he felt as though he had come back to life.
And it felt as though they had returned to the past….
