Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 78 Growing Old Together

“Look at the size of that wound! If Mr. Snow hadn’t noticed that you hadn’t returned home so late and went out to fetch you out of concern, what would you have done if something had happened to you outside?”

Eileen smiled in response. “I slipped and fell.”

“What? How did you fall? It’s such a big cut!”

“While I was practicing my dance, I accidentally cut myself.”

Sharon immediately frowned and said, “No, this is unacceptable. I need to inform Mr. Swan and have him move you to a different class. What kind of irresponsible teacher is this? You got hurt and she just ignored you! I wonder how she even became a teacher.”

A warmth spread through Eileen’s heart. Whenever she was hurt, Sharon was always the first one to think of her.

“Sharon, I’m really okay. Please help me call Alan to come pick me up!”

Vera said, “Eileen, it’s already quite late. Why don’t you stay here for the night and leave tomorrow? Eric and I can’t help but worry if you go out alone.”

Eileen had drunk half a bowl of soup and was already feeling much better.

“That’s right! You, my dear, are always up so late and constantly skip dinner. You must be starving now. Let me cook you a plate of pasta.”

Eileen sat up to lean against the headboard, only to realize she was in Eric’s room.

“I’m not very hungry, so there’s no need to trouble yourself.”

Vera smiled warmly and said, “Eileen, you don’t need to be formal here. Just treat this place as your own home. It’s only right for Eric and me to take care of you. Or is it that you don’t want to eat pasta and would prefer something else? Should Eric and I go buy something else for you?”

Eileen was getting a bit of a headache from all the noise.

This was Vera and Eric’s home, not hers.

She would only feel increasingly suffocated if she stayed here.

Eileen lowered her gaze, her long hair loose around her shoulders. She looked down to see herself dressed in pajamas that belonged to Vera.

She didn’t know when her clothes had been changed.

Her wallet and phone were both placed on the bedside table.

“I just need a moment to rest; I’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Eric spoke in a stern tone. “Vera, Sharon, let her rest properly. Boil some water and have her take the painkillers first.”

Sharon urged, “Eileen, if you feel unwell at any point, make sure to speak up. Don’t bear
