Chapter 159 She made a note of the room number and walked towards the flower shop beside the hospital, quickly buying a basket of flowers.
When she returned, she met Hailey, who had just arrived in a hurry.
âEleanor, why are you at the hospital? Is your heart causing you discomfort?â
Feeling anxious about catching Austin in the act, Hailey stopped worrying about her own issue as soon as she saw Eleanor. Instead, she switched to showing concern for her friend.
Eleanor felt warmed and reassured by this concern, âIâm fine. Dr. Terrill asked me to pick up some medications, thatâs why Iâm here.â
Relieved, Hailey replied, âItâs good that youâre alright, Eleanor.â
Eleanor handed Hailey the basket of flowers, âSince youâre going to visit your sisterâinâlaw, itâs only natural to bring some flowers.â
Understanding Eleanorâs intent, Hailey accepted the basket, âEleanor, youâre always so considerate.â
Eleanor reached forward to hold Haileyâs arm, offering her support, âLetâs go, Iâll accompany you.â
Holding onto Eleanor, Hailey felt more composed than she had been previously. With her, she could face whatever awaited her behind the door.
She forced a smile and walked into the hospital room with a basket of flowers.
âHubby...â
Hearing Haileyâs voice, Austin paused from feeding the pregnant woman water, who also seemed taken aback.
They both quickly recovered, and Austin put down the water bottle, walking towards Hailey.
âHow come youâre here?â
Hailey gave him a bland look as she noticed he didnât call her âhoneyâ like he usually does when they meet in public.
Her gaze turned gloomy as she glanced at the pregnant woman on the bed, who seemed like a romantic rival, making Hailey too disgusted to reply.
Upon witnessing Sophieâs demeanor, Eleanor swiftly interjected, providing an explanation. âI informed Hailey about the situation. She happened to be nearby, and upon hearing that your sister was unwell, she decided to pay a visit...â

Eleanor subtly nudged Haileyâs elbow, prompting her to divert her attention from the pregnant woman and offer a warm smile. Hailey then presented a basket of flowers to Austin.
âBy the way, why didnât you inform me about your sisterâs illness? I happen to know a doctor at the State Médical Institute, and if you had informed me earlier, I could have recommended her. Public hospitals are more costâeffective than private ones, so why waste money?â
Haileyâs final statement carried an implication that choosing a private hospital instead of a public one indicated a sense of guilt.
Austinâs expression faltered briefly before he covered it.up: âMy sister didnât have any medical insurance, so it would be the same for her to go to a public or a private hospital.â
Hailey responded with a casual laugh, âBut this is a wellâknown upscale hospital in A City. Itâs way more expensive than a public one.â
