Chapter 135 Time to Initiate Plan B
Caroline was surprised and was silent when seeing Eleanor's meaningful smile.
Indeed, the motive of her return was revenge, but faced with such a question, how was she supposed to answer?
Seeing Caroline at a loss for words, Eleanor pressed on with a smile, "Ms. Ryker, why the silence? Have you done something murderous so that you fear my retaliation?"
Caroline was shocked.
"Eleanor, what is your plan?" Caroline burst out in anger.
Eleanor let out a chuckle when seeing Caroline's desperation.
"What do I plan to do? What can I do? You show up uninvited to my ward and accuse me. What is this about? Do you even know me? Or are you afraid of my revenge for something you've done to me?"
Seeing Eleanor's smile, Caroline trembled with anger. She was infuriated and envious for Eleanor's face seemed even more attractive than six years ago.
"Eleanor, no matter what your plans are, they will fail. You will face the same tragic fate you experienced six years ago. You better stay in line," Caroline warned her with a livid face.
She was confident that since she made Eleanor's life miserable six years ago, she could do it again.
"What happened to the monster you were carrying? It must be dead."
Hearing her words, Eleanor was irritated. Caroline knew Eleanor must have affection for that monster.
"Eleanor, why not live a peaceful life? Why return and seek trouble? If Sebastian learns about the 'monster' you were pregnant with, would he still want you? You have lied to Sebastian, and he'll make you suffer," Caroline said arrogantly, and her wicked smile made her seem even more repulsive.
For a moment, a killing intent flashed through Eleanor's eyes. It seemed they hadn't learned their lessons.
The atmosphere in the ward instantly became intense.
Eleanor scoffed, looked at her, and said casually, "Caroline, seeing how eagerly you've come to confront me, it appears that Eleanor Ryker has disappeared for six years for good reason."
"Stop pretending, you are Eleanor," Caroline glared at her and said.
"Can you prove that I'm Eleanor?" Eleanor asked with an ironic smile.
Caught off guard, Caroline realized she had no evidence. All records of Eleanor had been destroyed in the fire years ago.
Eleanor noticed Caroline's hesitation and shifted her weary body slightly. She added, "Ms. Ryker, my name is Eleanor, but I’m from Gofhull. My parents passed away early, so I’m an orphan. You can check my background. People from the Parasol Residence in Gofhull watched me grow up."
This identity was arranged by Nathan, providing Eleanor with a new life under the guise of another Eleanor who had once lived at the Parasol Residence.
That Eleanor was also Nathan's cousin.
Caroline's eyes widened and asked in surprise, "That’s impossible. You are also allergic to lilies just like Eleanor Ryker."
"There are many people in the world allergic to lilies, and I just happen to share the same allergy as the person you knew," Eleanor refuted. She knew that the Ryker family wouldn't keep anything related to her. With her appearance significantly changed over the past six years, if she denied it, they had no way to prove anything.
"It's not possible, you are Eleanor Ryker, how could you not be?" Caroline began to doubt her previous judgment.
Michael had been so sure; there couldn't be a mistake.
"It seems you miss Eleanor Ryker so much that you’re this worked up." Eleanor felt disgusted when saying this.
But she would make Caroline realize she was a nightmare.
Gabriella’s life had already been ruined. Caroline was next.
None of them would escape.
Caroline was at a loss for words. As she turned and saw Sebastian behind her, Caroline’s face became pale. She nervously walked past him and left in a hurry as if fleeing for her life.
Seeing Sebastian, Eleanor’s face also turned pale. She was not sure whether he had just arrived or stood outside for some time. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"You…you're here?" Eleanor stammered.
"Yes! I just arrived," Sebastian said and looked at his son, "Waylon, head home to have a rest tonight. I'll stay here."
He decided to stay and take care of Eleanor.
"No need."
"No need."
Eleanor and Waylon spoke at the same time.
"Listen, you're still a kid, and staying up late isn't good for you. I'll stay here tonight," Sebastian said and had a bittersweet feeling as he looked at his determined son.
Waylon deeply cared about Eleanor.
Eleanor tried to persuade them, "Both of you should go back. I'm just here for an intravenous drip, and I'll be discharged tomorrow. I can walk around by myself, and it's fine for me to stay in the hospital alone."
"No way."
"No way."
Sebastian and Waylon declined simultaneously.
Eleanor was speechless.
"Waylon, head home. I'll stay and take care of her," Sebastian stated decisively.
Waylon showed a disappointed look on his face. He hung his head low and pouted his lips. He wanted to stay with his mom.
Sebastian caught the look of disappointment on his son's face but knew well that staying up late wasn't good for a child's health.
Eleanor didn’t want to see Waylon sad and reassured him with a smile, "Waylon, I'll be back by tomorrow noon. It's only a few hours, and I'll be home after you wake up."
Hearing this, Waylon nodded reluctantly.
Easton walked in to escort Waylon home.
Sebastian settled down to work by the window.
In the glow of the setting sun, his tall and steady figure was enveloped in orange light. His expression was serious and grim.
He browsed through emails, occasionally frowned, or looked angry. His furrowed brows remained constantly tense.
Eleanor found herself watching him for a long time and had to admit that he was indeed pleasing to the eye. When he was not furious, he was strikingly handsome and attractive.
Sebastian could sense the burning gaze fixed on him. After finishing his work, he turned his attention to Eleanor.
Caught under his gaze, Eleanor quickly looked away and pretended to focus on her phone.
Sebastian noticed that and smiled.
Eleanor came across a news report that Mr. Logan fainted and had been rushed to the hospital due to his company's bankruptcy.
She was shocked for a moment. This man was formidable; in just a little over two days, he had managed to bring down the Logan family.
In the video, Hailey was crying hysterically. She stumbled and fell since she was blind. Helped up by a bodyguard, she followed the ambulance to the hospital.
The crimes of the Logan family and Hailey's attempt to murder a five-year-old child had become hot topics on social media.
These were likely Sebastian's retaliation.
Eleanor looked at him and asked, "The Logan family has gone bankrupt?"
Sebastian's expression remained unchanged as he remarked, "As long as people live honestly, things like this wouldn't happen."
Eleanor felt his comment was a message to her.
Her fingers lightly caressed the edge of her phone. She thought that now was the time.
With Michael and Caroline questioning her identity, they wouldn't make things easy for her. Given Caroline's style, she would likely try to kill her once more.
Eleanor sent a message to Sienna.
