Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 145

If someone asked Eileen, what’s the most memorable day of her life?

She would say straight away, it was the day she came back from the dead.

She could still remember the moment a bullet went through her brain, and the burning smell seems to be lingering around till this day.

She was dead, then alive again. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was the fat, ugly face of director Harlan.

Hubery handed her over to Harlan. As the drug wore off, she used an ashtray and a fruit knife to scare Harlan away, then fled to seek help.

In the hallway, she ran into someone.

Her mind was totally blank at that moment.

The drug made her eyes unfocused.

She tried hard to recognize the other person’s face.

Finally, she was sure that the blurry face wasn’t Hubery’s,

That was enough for her. Who it was, she couldn’t remember at that moment.

She collapsed into his arms, her last words were to ask him to call an ambulance.

Later, she woke up in the hospital.

The nurse told her that her bills had been paid and she could leave at any time.

The memory of that day is still fresh in her mind.

Thinking of this, Eileen’s gaze slowly turned to Egbert.

The person who saved her that day, was it really Egbert?

Egbert was looking at her too, his gaze was deep and heavy.

Galen, who was clueless about the situation, frowned and asked, “Drugged? What kind of drug?”

Gilbert explained, “The doctor said it was a hallucinogenic, colorless and odorless. Luckily, no other substances were added…”

“Gilbert.” Egbert interrupted him softly.

Gilbert stopped talking.

Such a thing was a bit offensive to a girl.

Unexpectedly, Eileen didn’t seem to mind and said, “Someone gave me a bottle of water. I wasn’t on guard. Shortly after I drank it, I passed out. When I woke up, someone was undressing me…”

“Stop!” Galen only asked, “Who was it?”

Eileen, “Do you mean the person who gave me the water, or the person who was undressing me?”

Egbert was taken aback and suddenly frowned.

Galen slammed the table, “Eileen!” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Eileen then looked at Galen and said, “The one who gave me the water was Hubery, and the one who was undressing me was Harlan.”

Egbert’s frown deepened.

Galen thought for a while but couldn’t remember who they were.

He took out his phone and started searching, “What were their names again?”

Eileen repeated the names, and then said, “Don’t worry, they didn’t get what they wanted, I ran away.”

Galen finally found it, and when he saw the news about Harlan, he was stunned, “This guy was arrested for drug use a few months ago.”

Eileen was taken aback and quickly looked at Galen.

Galen handed his phone to her and said, “It says here, someone reported him and he was caught on the spot. He’s still in jail now.”

Eileen frowned.

Gilbert also leaned over to look at the news.

After reading it, Gilbert suddenly looked at Egbert, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Egbert didn’t say anything, he just lowered his head, thinking about something.

Galen asked Eileen. Isn’t this guy your enemy? Don’t you even keep tabs on him?”

Eileen shook her head gently, “I will keep an eye on him, but not now…”

Eileen has the memory of her past life, she knows that in half a year, Harlan will be arrested for drug trafficking, involvement in sales, using drugs himself, inducing others to use drugs, and finally being caught. At the scene of the arrest, he attempted to escape, taking hostages, and was finally shot dead by the police.

Eileen looked at the drug news on the phone, her eyebrows knitted, “Who called the police and ruined my plan!”

Egbert hesitated for a moment, looking at her and asking, “Isn’t it a good thing that he’s in jail?”

Eileen couldn’t explain to Egbert, only saying, “I hope he spends more money, hires a good lawyer, and gets out of jail soon.”

She must not prevent him from being shot dead by the police in half a year!

Eileen didn’t want to continue this topic.

She returned the phone to Galen, picked up the knife and fork on the table, and said, “Let’s start eating.”

Galen looked at her, lost for words.

During the meal, Galen quietly put the cut meat in front of Eileen.

Eileen didn’t eat with full concentration, she had never been so absent-minded.

She would take a few bites, then look up at Egbert.

Take a few bites, then look at Egbert again.

After a few times, Egbert put down his fork and looked straight at her.

Eileen also put down her fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said to Egbert, “Thank you.”

Egbert didn’t say anything.

Eileen lowered her head, “I remember the day I came out of the hospital, I ran into you in the elevator, I got mad at you, you must have thought I was so ungrateful, right?”

Egbert just said softly, “No.”

Eileen fiddled with the napkin in her hand, with a guilty face, “Why didn’t you tell me directly? If I knew you were the one who saved me, when you were drunk in the elevator, I wouldn’t have cursed you in my heart.”

Egbert just looked at her.

Eileen said, “I wouldn’t have thought of abandoning you in Traveller 5+1 because you were sick. I wouldn’t have thought you were annoying, that you slowed down my progress and got in my way. And I wouldn’t have been eager to hand you over to Aurora when Aurora Bell appeared, thinking I could finally get rid of you…”

“Enough.” Egbert suddenly interrupted Eileen, took a deep breath, and said, “You don’t need to confess anymore.”

Eileen looked at Egbert and sincerely asked, “If I don’t confess, would you understand my regret?”

Egbert shook his head, “I don’t think you regret anything.”

Eileen was taken aback and tried to defend herself.

Galen couldn’t stand it anymore, “Would you just shut up! Look, he’s getting angry!”

In the end, Eileen had no choice but to shut her mouth and keep chowing down on her meat.

After dinner, she still had her eyes glued on Egbert.

When it was time to hop in the car, Eileen let Galen take shotgun, while she and Egbert occupied the backseat.

Egbert just looked at her, his face as unreadable as a brick wall.

As the car started to roll, Eileen suddenly said, “Egbert, you saved my life, and I owe you one. I may not be rolling in dough, but I can repay you in other ways.”

At the wheel, Gilbert looked taken aback.

In the passenger’s seat, Galen suddenly turned his head around.

Egbert also turned to Eileen, raising an eyebrow, “And what would that ‘other way’ be?”

Eileen nodded, “In a way that you’ll need the most in your life. Once it’s done, you’ll feel happy and satisfied from head to toe.”

Egbert’s expression changed in a flash, “You…”

Eileen confidently said, “I plan to give you a full health care package! I’ll be the one doing the acupuncture. Don’t worry, I learned this top-notch technique from a skilled doctor. I can help you prevent middle-aged high blood pressure, hair loss, balding, hormonal imbalance, and even boost your immunity. After the acupuncture, I guarantee you’ll feel totally relaxed and have a healthy gut for a whole week.”

Egbert was lost for words.
