Chapter 142 Can I Feed You

in less than an hour, the helicopter arrived at Serene Hospital.

It was the last place she wanted to be

“You know full well I didn’t want to come here!”

“How can you still be picky with that swelling? Aren’t you afraid of dying?

Laleen retorted, “They’re in cahoots with you, and they all want to kill me. I refuse to go

there…”

Eric, who had stepped onto the hospital steps, suddenly came to a halt.

Gavin was also present.

Eileen wasn’t afraid of him overhearing their conversation. Gavin was deeply loyal to Eric and had

betrayed the Swan family for him.

From the beginning. Gavin and Sarah were Eric’s right-hand men. Their presence was crucial to Eric’s

rise to power, and he couldn’t have done it without their help.

Eric turned around and silently gazed at her with his dark eyes.

Gavin spoke with a hint of irritation. “Ms. Eileen, we’re at the hospital now. Please stop causing a

scene, as it might worsen your injuries.

“Don’t interfere in my affairs. I’ll take a taxi on my own.”

Eileen turned around and left.

Without him, she wouldn’t die, at least not for a while.

Eric then turned to Gavin and said, “Bring the car around. We’re going to General Hospital.”

“Mr. Snow!”

“Hurry up.”

Pretending not to hear them, Eileen quickly walked away.

She headed to the taxi stand by the street to hail a taxi. When one stopped in front of her, she opened

the passenger door only to watch as a hand suddenly appeared to push the door. back shut. Without a

word, Eric lifted her up by her waist, causing Eileen to pound his back. “You, jerk, put me down!”

With a smooth. fluid motion. Eric tossed her into the back seat of his car.

“Gavin, lock the door.”

Thud!

Gavin did as he was told.

Eileen tried to open the window, but Eric pulled her back by the collar. With one hand, he grabbed her

swollen cheeks and threatened with a cold glint in his eyes, “Make one more sound, and I’ll use you as

shark bait.”

Eileen immediately felt a chill down her spine.

When he saw her finally behaving. Eric let go of his hand.

However, noticing that his fingers were smeared with ointment, he wiped it off on her body in disgust.

Annoyed, Eileen slapped the spot he had just wiped, then moved to the corner of the seat.

Upon arriving at General Hospital, Eileen underwent some tests and her allergies were identified.

It turned out to be rose hip and mango.

She had consumed desserts containing two different allergens, which explained why her face was so

swollen.

Lying in the hospital room and hooked up to an IV drip, Eileen needed at least three to five days for the

swelling on her face to go down. For the time being, she had to avoid spicy food.

Eric asked, “Feeling better now?”

Eileen remained silent.

“I’ll have Sharon bring you some clothes later. Once you’re better, you’ll come home with

me.”

Eileen had already laid down, her head covered with a blanket as she was in no mood to look at his

hypocritical face.

When Eric’s phone rang, he stepped out of the ward to take the call, which was from the office.

By the time he hung up and returned to the room, Eileen had already fallen asleep.

Eric instucted Gavin. “It will be a while before Sharon gets here. Stay here and watch her. Don’t let her

wander ofl.”

Given her nature, she might try to sneak out of the hospital later.

As Eileen couldn’t bring herself to leave Sharon, there was nothing left in the Swan family that could

make her stay.

But the office…”

“TH go

back and handle it. Keep a close eye on her. If she runs away again, I’ll deduct your pay this quarter.”

Gavin nodded. “Understood.”

Sharon arrived at noon. She had made ravioli with specially hand-rolled dough before rushing over.

Seeing that Eileen was still asleep, she chose not to disturb her.

After Sharon took over, Gavin, who couldn’t wait to leave, did so immediately.

Upon entering the elevator, he caught sight of someone from the Smith family.

He wondered what Jasper was doing at the hospital.

Could it be for Eileen?

Gavin didn’t bother to interfere. After pressing the button for the basement, he left.

Along the corridor, Fabian was still holding a briefcase, following behind Jasper. “Ms. Swan was

trapped on the snowy mountain for two days, but she is now safe.”

Jasper ordered, “From now on, report to me immediately about anything concerning her.”

“Yes, Mr. Smith.”

Jasper found Eileen’s ward and quietly walked in, while Fabian waited outside the door.

Upon seeing the sudden arrival of the stranger, Sharon asked, “Who are you?” She scrutinized the man

standing before her. Jasper was wearing an ash-grey suit that revealed. the tattoos under his collar.

Sharon became wary upon seeing the tattoos, suspecting that he might be part of a gang.

After all, Eileen would never associate with such people.

Jasper’s tone softened a bit. “I’m Eileen’s friend. Is she doing alright?”

Saaton solded “Eileen aust went to sleep. Is there something you need, sir?”

Jasper replied. “Nothing artually I just missed libr, so I came to see her.”

I’m… Could he be the good friend that Eileen often talks about?

Are you the friend for whom deen personally made chestnut pie”

Jasper curved lus lips into a smile and nodded Did she mention me to you?”

Sharon laughed. Tve been taking care of Eileen since she was little, and she’s never had a friend by

her side You’re the first one! The last time I saw her baking-which is a rare sight- I didn’t expect it was

for you!”

The first one, huh?

As Jasper watched Eileen sleep soundly, a gentle smile emerged on his lips.

*Eileen is still asleep. If there’s anything you need, you can let me know. Once she wakes up. I will

inform her accordingly.”

Jasper responded, “No problem. I’ll wait for her to wake up.”

“Alright, alright.” Sharon’s keen intuition prompted her to set down her belongings and leave the ward

to give them some privacy.

However, Eileen continued sleeping until the afternoon when she felt a cool sensation on her lips.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly regained consciousness.

Seeing the familiar face in front of her, Eileen thought she was dreaming until she fully came

to her senses.

Her immediate reaction was to cover her face.

She felt so unprepared that she didn’t want to see anyone.

Her muffled voice came from under the blanket. “You… Why are you here?”

Jasper had noticed that her lips were a little dry, so he moistened them with his hand, not expecting to

wake her.

T heard something happened to you, I was concerned, so I came to see you. You haven’t responded to

me for such a long time… Eileen. I’m really worried about you.”

He had been busy the past few days dealing with matters from the previous shareholders’

III

meeting. Only recently had he found some time to come over.

He also sent someone to handle the issue at the school.

Therefore, she wouldn’t hear a single word about it when she returned.

If the school couldn’t handle the trivial matter, he would not hesitate to shut it down.

I’m time. You should leave quickly!”

At that moment. Sharon walked in. “Eileen, this gentleman has been waiting for you for five to six

hours. You can’t be rude to him.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Jasper defended her. “You just woke up. Would you like to eat something?

Sharon made some ravioli for you. Would you like me to feed you?”

His tone sounded as if he was coaxing a child.

It even carried a hint of indulgence.
