“You took a knife for her, but she doesn’t appreciate it at all,” Paola complained.

No sooner had her words been spoken than a figure appeared before them.

Upon seeing the person, Paola sarcastically said, “Speak of the devil.”

The trio at the door watched as Eileen suddenly left. They had no idea what she was up to. All they saw was her bowing deeply, too far away to hear what was said.

Eric’s eyes suddenly darkened.

Everyone gaped at Eileen, astonished by her action.

“Thank you!” The sincerity in her voice was evident. Eileen then straightened up. “I’m truly sorry for not visiting you in the hospital all this time. Are you okay?”

Infuriated, Paola cursed, “Bullsh*t! Your guts were spilling out. Yet, you’re claiming the wound wasn’t deep? Why are you pretending to care now? Buzz off and get out of our way.”

George tugged at her sleeve lightly. “Don’t say that, Paola.”

“Was I wrong? I wonder who acted all high and mighty previously. Elm, does she also behave like this at school? What a hypocrite!”

Paola turned to Elm.

Elm chuckled. “You’ve mellowed! You used to have quite the temper.”
