Chapter 289 Not Bad

Enduring her aching body, Eileen went to the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water cascaded down. from her head, neither cold nor hot. She closed her eyes but still felt something was off. She reached down to touch the sensitive area below, finding no signs of swelling. The pain had also significantly subsided.

In truth, there was a red mark on the inside of her thigh, a place she couldn’t see. It was hidden so well that Eileen didn’t notice it.

Mr. Smith has made arrangements in Pillere, so there will be someone to pick you up when you land. We’ll meet you there in a week. Mr. Smith is in a meeting, and he asked me to apologize on his behalf.”

“It’s okay. The company matters are much more important. How is Grandma doing?” Eileen was indeed a bit disappointed. This was her first time leaving Hulbury to go to an unfamiliar place. She had never been to such a far place before, and it would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous or scared.
