Chapter 110 Where Do I Stay

When Eileen woke up, it was already the weekend of the following day. It felt as if she had experienceda catastrophe in her dreams. The pajamas she wore were almost soaked, and her body was burningup like a furnace.

Mary, breathing heavily, carried the oatmeal upstairs. Climbing up to the fifth floor was no easy task foran old woman like her. When she saw Eileen sitting on the bed, lost in thought with a vacant look in hereyes, she couldn’t tell what Eileen was thinking.

Eileen hadn’t even noticed when Mary entered. It was only when she heard Mary’s voice that sheturned around.

“Ms. Eileen, you’ve been asleep for a whole day and night. Please eat something!” Mary said.

Eileen looked at Mary with teary eyes. “What did the police say to Dad when they came yesterday?”

Mary replied, “I didn’t understand what they were saying either! But they assured me that they wouldhandle the situation for you. Mr. Swan’ won’t let the man who threatened you with a knife get away withit.”

Eileen looked away, her eyelashes trembling as she glanced at the bandaged gauze on the back of herhand. Without much thought, she had already guessed Hector’s fate. Dad will surely make him pay athousandfold. Even if he ends up in prison, he will be in utter despair. But there’s nothing I can do aboutit.

Eileen carefully sipped her oatmeal. She couldn’t apply too much force with her hand as it would strainher stitches, making eating a bit of a struggle.

As Mary left the room, Eileen noticed that a significant amount of furniture was missing. The paintingsthat once adorned the walls were gone.

“Mary, where are my paintings?” Eileen asked.

Mary suddenly remembered something. “Since you moved in, there have been frequent dangeroussituations. The gentleman said it’s because of the poor feng shui of the house. Wel need to renovatethe room in a few days.”

Eileen’s hand, holding the bowl, visibly trembled. “If the room is being renovated, where am I supposedto live?”

“You might have to stay at Mr. Snow’s house for a few days,” Mary answered.

Clang!

Mary didn’t expect such a strong reaction from Eileen. The bowl of oatmeal she was holding, barelytouched, was thrown, shattering into pieces on the floor.

Eileen had initially thought it was just a joke from Will, but she didn’t expect it to be true.

During lunchtime, Mary had already packed Eileen’s suitcase.

Sitting at the dining table, surrounded by a feast of delicious dishes, Eileen could only eat the oatmealin her bowl. She lowered her head, took a few spoonfuls, and said, “Dad, does it have to be Eric’shouse? I could stay in Vera’s room. Or I could move to Mary’s room. I can manage for a few days.”

Will lifted his eyes slightly, his expression turning serious. “During this period, Elsie and I need to go outfor a while. With me not at home, there won’t be anyone to look after you. If you stay at Eric’s place,there will be someone to watch over you, which will ease my worries a bit.”

“I-I can take care of myself.”

“How are you going to do that? It’s precisely because no one has been supervising you that you’vebeen acting recklessly, even changing classes without permission. I haven’t even dealt with that issueyet! You better behave yourself during this period and stop causing trouble for Eric. That’s final.Someone will come to pick you up later.”

There was nothing Eileen could do to change the situation.

Elsie, trying to mediate, said, “Alright. There’s no need to be so harsh. Eileen simply doesn’t want toleave home: She didn’t want any of this to happen. Eileen, when we return, the house renovationshould be almost complete. Then your father and I will come to pick you up.”

With a melancholic nod, Eileen didn’t say anything more.

Around one in the afternoon, Gavin came to pick her up,

Mary had packed all her belongings, filling several large boxes, and completely emptied her

room.

Eileen didn’t bring much with her, only some everyday skincare products and clothes for changing.Unexpectedly, even those items required five large suitcases, and pulling them all at once was quitestrenuous.

Eileen would rather stay at school, but there was a holiday the following week. After Christmas, NewYear’s Eve would be next.

Arriving at Euphoria Condominium, Eileen saw Sharon and Vera waiting downstairs since earlymorning.

As soon as the car stopped, Sharon hurriedly approached and opened the back passenger door.

When Eileen stepped out of the car, Sharon grabbed her injured hand, her face full of concern. “Let mesee! You poor thing. How did you get hurt again?”

“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all. It’s just a little scrape, and it’ll heal in a few days,” Eileen replied.

Vera walked over and said, “Eileen, your room is ready. However, I hope you don’t mind sharing a roomwith me. I’m not sure if you’ll like how I’ve arranged it…” She affectionately took hold of Eileen’s wristas she spoke.

“Alright.” Eileen’s face showed no particular emotion. From childhood to adulthood, she had alwaysbeen alone in her own room. She was not accustomed to living with others.

Entering the condominium, Vera told Eileen the door lock code. They saw that an additional bed hadbeen added to Vera’s room.

The bed sheets and duvet covers were all purchased by Sharon according to Eileen’s preferences, allin soft, pastel colors. There was also a pink teddy bear on the head of the bed, a birthday gift she hadwanted.

Vera also had an identical one, placed in the same position.

Living under someone else’s roof, Eileen didn’t have the right to express her dislikes. “Thank you. Ireally like it.”

Vera cheerfully said, “I’m glad you like it. Sharon and I were worried that you might not. You’re still notwell, so you should rest. Sharon and I can take care of the luggage.”

Eileen’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m fine now. I can take care of myself.”

“Let me assist you!”

Eileen nodded without refusing. It seemed impolite to refuse.

Once everything was organized, Eileen’s clothes occupied more than half of the wardrobe, leavingbarely any room for the/books.

Eileen apologized, “I brought too much. I’ll just put the rest on the floor for now!”

“Alright! When the time comes, I’ll have Eric buy a bookshelf and bring it over.”

“That’s not necessary,” Eileen politely replied.

“It’s absolutely necessary! You don’t know how much I wish I had a sister. We could share all

the good things together. We could watch movies together, share good books…”

After spending over two hours, everything was finally organized.

Eileen wasted no time. She spread out her books and began studying. She hadn’t had the chance towork on the workbooks that Jacob had given her last time.

Vera sat next to her, also starting to work on her homework. Whenever they encountered problemsthey didn’t understand, they would ask each other for help.

Sharon was cooking, and it wasn’t until she entered the room and saw the two of them working hardthat she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if she had two daughters at the same time.

“It’s time for Eileen to eat.”

Eileen glanced at the time. It was just before six o’clock, yet outside, the sky had already turnedcompletely dark.

“Sure. You guys start eating! I’ll join you as soon as I finish this question.”

Vera glanced at Eileen, then turned around and said to Sharon with a gentle smile, “We’ll come in alittle while.”
