Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 113

Chapter 113 A Million Times Better

Eileen arrived at the library before seven o’clock, knowing that it would close at ten. There were still a few people scattered around the library at that time.

She sat at her favorite spot next to the window and opened her workbook.

As time passed, the lights in the library gradually dimmed. Eventually, a librarian approached her and politely said, “We’ll be closing soon.”

He didn’t show up, but she wasn’t surprised.

On her way back home, Eileen momentarily forgot about the ongoing renovations at her residence. All the servants and drivers had already gone home, and the last bus of the evening had already left by this late hour.

In the end, Eileen had to hail a taxi to get home.

It was close to one in the morning when she arrived at her condominium. Looking up, she noticed that the lights on the twelfth floor were off. It seemed that the residents were already asleep at this late hour.

She entered the elevator and tried to input the door’s lock code, but it was incorrect. She tried three times, but the passcode was still wrong.

How can it be wrong? It’s clearly a series of numbers from one to six. Could it have been changed?

In her moment of confusion, Eileen instinctively reached for her phone, only to remember that Sharon didn’t have a mobile phone. She didn’t know the landline number for the living room, and her phone’s contact list was minimal, with only a few names, including Vera. As she scrolled through her contacts, her eyes landed on the last set of numbers.

After a few seconds of silence, the lights in the corridor, controlled by sound, turned off, leaving her in darkness.

The only source of light came from her cell phone. Faced with this dilemma, Eileen hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided not to disturb them.

It’s already eleven o’clock. I should stay at a hotel tonight.

Eileen retraced her steps and headed towards the elevator. As she stood by the elevator, she pressed the button to go down. Just as the elevator was about to arrive, her phone vibrated faintly in her pocket.

Taking out her phone, she glanced at the caller ID and hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer. After hovering her finger over the accept button for about ten seconds,
