Chapter 106
Eleanor smiled, feeling a bit silly. What did their wedding have to do with her?
Seeing her bitter smile, Jason furrowed his brows slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
Eleanor shook her head, not answering, but her eyes were filled with sadness
Jason thought she was bothered by what Cedric said and quickly reassured, “Don’t worry about
Cedric’s words. He’s just targeting me because I called off the marriage with his sister and
embarrassed him. It has nothing to do with you.”
Eleanor nodded. No one would care about her feelings anyway.
Seeing the desperation in her eyes, Jason’s frown deepened. “You look very upset. Did something
happen?”
Is it that obvious?
Eleanor touched her stiff face, which was cold and without any warmth.
She must look terrifying, right?
Eleanor forced a smile, “Nothing’s wrong. I just don’t feel well.”
Jason somewhat believed her excuse, “Is it your leg bothering you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn’t walk, so it must be the problem with her leg.
However, when he was carrying her earlier, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Eleanor nodded, “My leg is a bit swollen. It might be due to varicose veins.”
She was wary of Jason, unsure if he was truly amnesiac or just pretending, so she chose to hide the
truth for now.
Though Jason knew the symptoms of varicose veins wouldn’t normally impair walking, he didn’t dare
ask more. The last time he inquired about her condition at the villa, she had gotten angry. It was better
not to provoke her again.
Jason didn’t press further, but he was concerned about her well–being, “Let Tyler check you out. He’s a
terrific doctor, and I’m sure he can fix any issues you have.”
Eleanor’s smile grew more bitter, “No need.”
It’s almost time for her to die, so what’s the point of wasting medical resources?
“You…”
Jason wanted to persuade her further, but Eleanor turned to look out the window, seemingly refusing to
continue the conversation. He had no choice but to shut up.
Soon, they arrived at Eleanor’s neighborhood, and Jason parked the car, carried her upstairs.
Eleanor wasn’t eager to let him know where she lived, but there was no choice under the
circumstances.
After unlocking the door, Jason carried her inside.
“Put me on the couch.”
Jason nodded, walked to the couch, and gently put her down.
After sitting up straight, Eleanor looked at Jason. Thank you”
Although she expressed her gratitude, it was evident that she was implying he could leave.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Jason remained gentle, “Take a few days to rest at home. You don’t have
to stay with me for now.”
He then turned to leave.
As he passed the dining room, he noticed a picture on the wine cabinet.
It was a photo of her and Hailey, both looking young and naive.
He stopped and picked up the photo, realizing it had been cropped.
It should have been a picture of three people, but the person next to Eleanor was cut out.
He subconsciously thought that person was himself, and once that idea emerged, he felt disoriented.
Seeing him holding their old photo, Eleanor hurriedly said, “Mr. Clowers, have you asked for my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpermission before looking at the photo?”
Jason was about to recall something when Eleanor’s voice interrupted him.
He returned to reality, feeling a bit embarrassed as he looked at Eleanor, “Sorry”
He put the photo back on the wine cabinet and left.
After Jason left, Eleanor glanced at the photo as well. It was the only photo Hailey kept related to
Garett
Hailey had said that after she went to B City, someone broke into the house they rented and destroyed
all photos related to Garett. This photo of the three of them was saved because it was hidden inside a
book.
However, when she returned from B City, she cut Garett out of the picture with her own hands.
She had been fed up since he had kicked her twice back then and she refused to see anything related
to Garett
Chapter 106
Looking back, they were probably destined not to be together, which was why they lost contact. But
that was all in the past now.
Eleanor snapped back to reality, took out the medicine from her bag, poured herself a glass of water,
and swallowed the pills.
After taking the medicine, she turned on the TV, listened to the vague sounds, then closed her eyes
and fell asleep.
