Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 206 Perhaps You Should First Submit

Feeling displeased, Eric stared intently at Zachary, who had dropped a bombshell and then left.

His words caused Vera to grow concerned. “Eric… why are you discussing Eileen? What… What happened to her?”

Eric coughed a few times, feeling another wave of pain in his stomach. He didn’t want anyone to see him in such a pathetic state. His condition rarely flared up like this in the past because Eileen was almost always by his side.

Whether it was for work or during socializing after hours, as long as he had a bit of alcohol, she would scold the person across the table, all just to have him drink less.

If the project failed, he wouldn’t be able to escape Will’s punishment.

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, she would personally deliver each meal, never allowing him to miss a single meal.

Ever since Eileen stopped being by his side, Eric kept feeling as if something was missing.

“Nothing much. Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour?”

Vera felt a bit uneasy because Eric had been hiding something from her. Seeing him like this. Vera didn’t say anything more. She stroked Eric’s back, lowering her head. “I had a nightmare and couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.”

Eric placed his hand on top of her head, gently stroking it to comfort her. “Go back to sleep. Don’t you have to go back to school tomorrow?”

“Let me feed you some oatmeal. You never eat anything when you drink. Vera opened the lunchbox and scooped out a bowl of oatmeal, which was still piping hot. She blew on it a bit. then held it up to Eric’s mouth.

Eric looked into her eyes and saw the anticipation in them. Ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
