Chapter 617:

Standing by the bed, Bryan watched Eileen closely.

The reason Eileen had slept so soundly last night was the sense of security she felt. She had been confident she could help Milford. But now?

With Milford’s confession, there was no way for her to save him.

Eileen handed the phone back to Josue, then left the ward, grabbing her bag.

Before leaving, she said to Bryan, “Don’t worry. I’ll go home to see Gabriela first. You stay here and continue your treatment.”

She didn’t mention Milford.

Josue looked puzzled. He turned to Bryan and asked, “Do we need to follow her? She can’t just storm the police station and take Milford out forcefully, right?”

“No need to follow her; she won’t do that,” Bryan reassured Josue. He knew Eileen wasn’t impulsive. “Everyone knows what happened to Milford. Those envious of his talent will believe whatever they want. Even if he’s released, he won’t escape the gossip. So, he chose to give up. Once Eileen calms down, she’ll figure out the best way to help him.”

Spending years in prison didn’t mean Milford’s life was over.

What mattered was the future.

As soon as Eileen stepped into the house, she heard Gabriela babbling.

“Mommy!” Gabriela crawled to the door, beaming at Eileen.

“You’re finally back! What were you up to last night?” Ruby asked as she picked Gabriela up. Gabriela wriggled, wanting to be held by Eileen.

Noticing the hospital’s disinfectant scent on Eileen, Ruby asked, “You went to the hospital? Are you feeling alright?”

“Bryan’s in the hospital. Thank you for looking after things these past two days,” Eileen said, not mentioning anything about Milford.

Gabriela wrapped her arms tightly around Eileen, gazing up at her face before planting kisses on her cheek.

Eileen turned her head aside and said to Gabriela, “I haven’t washed my face yet. Go play with Grandma for a bit. I’ll join you soon.”

Noticing Gabriela’s disappointed expression, she added, “Guess what? I’ll take you to see Daddy in two days!”

Today was the weekend. After wrapping up some online work, Eileen spent the entire morning playing with Gabriela at home.

At noon, Eileen drove Ruby to Bailee’s house for lunch.

Bailee had put on some weight lately, probably because she was in high spirits, free from worries.

Eileen seemed fine, but she kept fiddling with her phone, engrossed in a conversation with someone.

Zola had been sentenced to death for intentional homicide, with a two-year suspension. She was taken aback by the verdict, especially the suspension.

Once imprisoned, she understood everything.

Handcuffed both in hands and feet, she clutched a plastic basin. The clinking of the foot shackles echoed as she moved through the prison doors.
