The car quickly pulled up under Sigrid's apartment complex, with Hailey silently waiting by the side. As soon as she saw the car, she rushed forward to open the door.
When she saw that it was Bernard driving and that Eleanor, who sat in the passenger seat, looked like a middle-aged woman in disguise, she swallowed subconsciously.
She carefully climbed into the back seat.
Eleanor asked her if Sigrid wasn't coming.
Hailey only replied, "Bringing her along right now might seem inappropriate, so let's check out the situation first, then she can come," before falling silent again.
A husband accompanying his wife to meet her first love, what a messed-up scenario. Who would dare to say anything?
But overall, the vibe during the entire ride was harmonious, with no conflicts arising.
When the car pulled up in front of the Clowers family mansion, Eleanor's face gradually turned pale.
Seeing her like this, Hailey remembered that this was the place where Eleanor had once knelt in front of the Clowers family's door, begging Garett not to abandon her.
Familiar memories flooded back, and Eleanor clutched her chest, calming herself down for a while before slowly regaining her normal expression...
Bernard, however, thought she was feeling nervous and scared about seeing Garett, which was why she looked so pale.
His hand gripping the steering wheel felt like it was on fire, and he suddenly tightened his grip.
"You have two hours, get out when you're done examining the patient."
How is it still being timed?
Whilst reminiscing about the past Eleanor, upon hearing this statement, her delicate eyebrows instantaneously furrowed.
She perceived Bernard to be utterly untrustworthy, despite the initial agreement. He had promised that during the day, she would care for Garett, and in the evening, she could return, but now he unexpectedly wants to impose a time constraint?
Seated in the back, Hailey cast a glance at the displeased countenance of Eleanor, then at the indifferent demeanor of Bernard. To avoid being entangled in the situation, she extended her hand to push the door open.
However, just as she was about to do so, Bernard's cold voice resonated within the car—"No contact, maintain distance."
Hailey was startled and immediately withdrew her hand, obediently returning to her seat.
