Chapter 188 When Will You Be Back

Eileen struggled to support Elm as they made their way out of school. It was not an easy task for her.

The Smith family’s private driver brought the car around.

Upon seeing Eileen helping Elm, the driver immediately got out of the car and assisted Elm into it.

“Ms. Eileen, why are you with him?” the driver asked.

Eileen furrowed her brows. “It’s a long story. Let’s head back first!”

The driver informed her, “I’m sorry, Ms. Eileen, but Old Mrs. Smith has made it clear th cannot enter the Smith residence without permission.”

How could I forget about this?

“Forget it. Let’s go to my place first,”

Eileen placed Elm in the back seat behind the passenger side and fastened his seatbelt. Sh then sat in the front passenger seat to give directions.

They arrived at an alley where Eileen had once lived for a while. There was no elevator. Eileen and the driver, supporting the unconscious Elm, made their way upstairs.

She retrieved the key hidden beneath the flower bed and opened the door before fumbling around for the light switch on the wall. The room was not as messy as she had anticipated. On the contrary, it was quite clean and tidy, as if someone had recently been living there.

There was still half-eaten food on the table, covered with a mesh cover.

Don’t tell me he has been living here recently.

They helped Elm onto the bed.

The driver took off his shoes and socks before tucking him in.

Eileen glanced at the person on the bed. “It’s not convenient for me to take care of him here. Is there anyone else at his house?”

“Mrs. Smith is probably asleep at this hour.”

“Forget it, let ne think of another solution! We can’t just leave him here alone”
