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.

“Eleanor, why are you at the hospital? Is your heart causing you discomfort?”

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, “I’m fine. Dr. Terrill asked me to pick up some

medications, that’s why I’m here.”

Relieved, Hailey replied, “It’s good that you’re alright, Eleanor.”

Eleanor handed Hailey the basket of flowers, “Since you’re going to visit your sister–in–law, it’s only

natural to bring some flowers.”

Understanding Eleanor’s intent, Hailey accepted the basket, “Eleanor, you’re always so considerate.”

Eleanor reached forward to hold Hailey’s arm, offering her support, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you.”

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.

“Hubby…”

Hearing Hailey’s 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.

“How come you’re here?”

Hailey gave him a bland look as she noticed he didn’t call her “honey” 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 Sophie’s demeanor, Eleanor swiftly interjected, providing an explanation. “I informed

Hailey about the situation. She happened to be nearby, and upon hearing that your sister was unwell,

she decided to pay a visit…”

Eleanor subtly nudged Hailey’s 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.

“By the way, why didn’t you inform me about your sister’s 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 cost–effective than private ones, so why waste

money?”

Hailey’s final statement carried an implication that choosing a private hospital instead of a public one

indicated a sense of guilt.

Austin’s expression faltered briefly before he covered it.up: “My sister didn’t have any medical

insurance, so it would be the same for her to go to a public or a private hospital.”

Hailey responded with a casual laugh, “But this is a well–known upscale hospital in A City. It’s way

more expensive than a public one.”
