He wrapped up his speech, tucked away the agreement, and straight up to the upstairs without giving Eleanor another glance.
Eleanor, however, was scared shitless. She grabbed her phone and dashed out of the mansion to call George.
Upon hearing what had happened, George just laughed it off, "Ms. Shultz, don't worry. If he wanted to harm Nina, he would have done it ages ago. Why would he wait till now?"
Eleanor finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the kid.
George couldn't give a straight answer either. He just said the kid was Emilia's and some noble from G country's, and left it at that.
When Eleanor heard about the nobility, she thought there might be some juicy gossip, so she didn't ask further. She was more concerned about Nina, "What kind of illness does Nina have?"
George calmly replied, "She's not sick, I was just messing with him. He took your medication, didn't he? I just wanted to trick him."
Eleanor was startled, then also laughed, "Dr. George, aren't you scared he'll be pissed at you once he finds out?"
George dismissed her concern, "Not only am I not scared, I'm also going to make sure he stays in G country."
Eleanor knew George was doing this for her, so she quickly thanked him, "George, thank you."
After George brushed off the thanks, he reminded her, "Make sure you take your medication on time. Not just for your eyes, but also the anti-rejection drugs."
Eleanor nodded, "I have been taking my anti-rejection drugs."
George was reassured, "Give me an address and I'll mail the medication to you directly."
After they had returned to the country, he had been sending the medication to Ethan's mansion. He didn't expect that the medication never ended up in Eleanor's hands.
She clenched her phone, feeling the weight on her shoulders grow even heavier.
She still owed Garett for his kindness of more than 20 years, and now she owed Bernard 3 billion.
The immense pressure left her gasping for air, as if the air was sucked out of her. She just sat down on the ground, powerless.
Ethan came out with his suitcase and saw her leaning against the wall. Unable to hold back, he stopped, looked down at her and sneered, "What, can't bear to see me leave?"
Being brought back to reality, Eleanor lifted her head and stared at Ethan in silence.
Ethan squatted down in front of her and casually glanced at her, "Just a heads up, Bernard is not the right person for you."
