Chapter 224 Elm

Eileen was absent for the Olympiad Math exam, leaving Jacob anxiously pacing. Natalie was also waiting at the school gate, both hoping she would show up.

Only when the school administration contacted him did Jasper rush to the school, as he had just learned of Eileen’s disappearance.

Jasper understood the importance of this exam for her. She had been studying tirelessly for several days, all for the sake of this test.

This news also surprised Will.

Will had an underground information network, an organization specifically involved in trafficking information.

He rarely involved himself in the affairs of the underworld now, as he had long since retired. from that life.

News of Jasper searching for someone reached Will in less than half an hour.

Upon reading the message on his phone, Will furrowed his brow. “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. Eileen was out playing in Peach Fishing Village last night and accidentally got injured. Now, Eric is taking care of her in the hospital. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Jasper asked, “Hospital? How did she end up in the hospital!”

Standing behind Jasper, Fabian had a feeling that Eileen wouldn’t forgive so easily this time.

The exam would be ending in fifteen minutes.

Eileen heard faint voices murmuring. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry. As her sight cleared, she saw the IV drip hanging above her head.

Wasn’t she dead yet?

All she remembered was that in that final moment, Eric pulled her up, but by then, she had already lost consciousness.

Upon hearing the door open, Eileen saw Jasper. She wondered if she was hallucinating.

Jasper held her hand. “I’m sorry I’m late.”

It was his voice, which meant this was not an illusion. She could feel the icy cold temperature of his hand.
