Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 220

Chapter 220 They Will Not Last Long

It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

The laboratory building of Olympiad Math Class.

After Jacob finished explaining the last problem, he closed the textbook and asked, “I’ve covered everything for today. Does anyone have any questions?”

Then, he continued, “Since there are none, you guys should head home early today. Review and remember what needs to be consolidated. Get to bed early so it won’t affect your performance tomorrow. I’ll stress this one last time-don’t be late, and don’t forget to bring your exam admit card.”

After sorting out everything else, Jacob grabbed his book and dashed off.

The others were busy packing their bags when Jason came over and patted Eileen on the shoulder. “Segunda, we got out early today. Want to hang out?”

“I’m not going. I have something to do later.”

Jason responded, “Enough already. I’ve heard this excuse from you hundreds of times. Is your family too strict?”

Eileen flashed a faint smile without uttering a word.

Benjamin gave Jason a look as if the latter had just thought of something. He covered his mouth, chiding himself for his forgetfulness. How could he have forgotten?

“No worries, no worries. Then, Benny and I will be on our way.”

Eileen replied, “Okay.”

After they left, Vera approached her, her face filled with concern and a touch of worry. “Eileen, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Eileen said, packing up her bag, her face devoid of much emotion.

Now, Jasper had taken a girl from Primas Plaza, and no one knew who she was. However… everyone knew that Jasper might have another woman out there.

Many people believed that Eileen was likely to be abandoned.

There were also other rumors going around; all sorts of things were being said.

“I’m heading back to the classroom now. If you’re feeling down, don’t hesitate to come and

find me If you want to go home, Eric will definitely find a way.”

“All right, go ahead. I’ll tidy up a bit.”

Vera responded, “All right.”

When she was left alone in the classroom, there was an indescribable discomfort, a feeling that wrapped around her heart.

Eileen propped her forehead with her hand, her fingers threading through her dark, slightly curled hair. Her head ached a bit. Today, she had endured too many unusual stares.

The cacophony around her was making it hard for her to breathe.

She didn’t know how she should meet him once she returned.

“Hey, isn’t that Eileen?”

“Why hasn’t she left yet?”

A group of girls walked past the corridor, noticing the person in the classroom. Eileen’s thoughts were interrupted by the noise. Only then did she remember that the members of the Keprarian dance club would come over to practice. She got up, grabbed her backpack, and prepared to leave.

Calliope, wearing her hair high up in a ponytail and a long black cotton coat, blocked Eileen’s path. “Eileen, tell me, where has Elm gone to?”

“I don’t know about his affairs,” said Eileen as she walked away from her side.

Calliope gave her a nudge on the shoulder. “How could you possibly not know? Ever since the day he left your rundown house, he hasn’t returned to school. And now you’re telling me your don’t know?”

“You’re his girlfriend. Why are you asking me where he is? If you really want to know, you can call him. Move aside!”

Eileen spoke with a heavy tone. Those who originally blocked her path, in reality, didn’t dare to do anything to her.

Calliope stomped her foot in frustration. “Why didn’t you stop her?”

“Calliope, she is Jasper’s girlfriend. We wouldn’t dare.”

“Exactly! If she complains to Mr. Smith, my parents will be in trouble.”

A ruthless glint flashed in Calliope’s eyes. “You useless lot, but rest assured, she won’t last long

with Jasper.”

From the start, she has been so ostentatious with Jasper, making their relationship known to all.

In the end, Jasper still has another woman.

How embarrassing for Eileen, ha!

Eileen left school, and the private car picking her up had no idea she would be dismissed early today.

She went to a cell phone repair shop to get her phone fixed.

The boss glanced at her phone. “This is the latest model! The screen is so damaged that the repair cost would be almost the same as buying a new one. It might not be worth fixing. I just got a few new models in. Would you like to take a look?”

Eileen hesitated for a moment. “Hmm, let me see.” There wasn’t anything particularly important on her phone, apart from the daily influx of junk messages and the occasional phone call. She didn’t use it for much else.

In the end, she chose an old, rugged Philips model. It was shockproof and waterproof, and even though it didn’t have many features, it was more than enough for her.

Then, she went through the call history on her old phone, saving each number one by one.

Eileen was looking down when she suddenly bumped into someone. Seeing the woman she had knocked to the ground, she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…” As she looked up, she realized it was…

Eileen quickly helped her up. “I’m fine… Eileen?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ruth’s voice was still as gentle as ever.

Eileen was also quite surprised. “Mrs. Smith, what brings you here?”

Ruth said with a bitter smile, “Professor Combs called me, I don’t know what’s going on, but Elm hasn’t been to school for several days. He’s always been a free spirit and somewhat immature. I can’t control him anymore…”

Suddenly, Ruth started coughing. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing persistently. Eileen noticed a smear of blood on the handkerchief.

“Mrs. Smith… you..

Ruth chuckled softly “It’s just the same old problem” She held onto Fileen’s hand Promise me you won’t tell Elm about my situation, okay? Consider it a lavor from me

Eileen frowned. No wonder her face is so pale. “Mrs. Smith, let me take you to the hospital.”

“I’m no longer going. I’ve been sick for such a long time that it has become chronic. There is no cure for me anymore.”

“Don’t worry, there are numerous hospitals now. If it can’t be treated locally, we can go abroad. Think about yourself, but also consider Elm. Right now, you’re the only family he has left, you know?”

As she thought of him, her gentle eyes filled with sorrow. “In the end, he will have to grow up alone. I cannot accompany him for a lifetime.”

If there was any regret, her only regret in this life was bringing him to the Smith family.

He had endured various injustices. She knew the bitterness in his heart. Over the had kept everything bottled up, refusing to talk about anything.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

years, he

With a heart full of concern, Eileen said, “Mrs. Smith, please stop talking. You shouldn’t have gone out alone today. I am going to put a stop to everything right now. No matter what, I need to take you to the hospital.”

Eileen understood the difficult situation Ruth and Elm faced in the Smith family. Their lives as mother and son were just as challenging as hers.

From Jasper’s perspective, Eileen really shouldn’t have interfered in Ruth’s affairs. The rebellious pain of Jasper’s youth was all due to a broken family.

However, Elm had saved her, so how could Eileen possibly ignore that?

Eileen quickly hailed a car, taking Ruth to the hospital.

Eileen was running back and forth, conducting tests for Ruth. The doctors, one after another, wore worried expressions, all suggesting that she should be hospitalized for treatment. They said that perhaps she could live for another two years,

However, she refused….

Just as Ruth stepped out of the examination room, she suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

The doctor quickly arranged for a nurse to admit her to the hospital
