A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 160

Austin was always poor mouthing in front of her, but he had the money to bring her sister to such an expensive private hospital.

She began to suspect: Could it be that the 200,000 Austin took was for his sister's medical treatment?

If this pregnant woman was really his sister, it would be fine if the money was spent. But if it wasn't...

Hailey glared at Austin, who shuddered a bit but didn't show any cracks in his facade.

He took the flower basket from Hailey's hand and explained, "My brother-in-law is loaded, he's just abroad and couldn't make it back in time to take care of my sister."

The woman lying in the hospital bed chimed in just in time, "Sister-in-law, sorry, my husband isn't here. My brother happened to be back home, and I started having contractions, so he had to rush me to the big hospital to get checked..."

After that, she glared at Austin, "Austin, it's all your fault. You were supposed to give my sister-in-law a heads up, but you forgot because you were so worried about me."

Her words made Hailey very uncomfortable, almost pissed off. What a low-level trick.

Hailey calmly said, "It's okay. Whether he told me or not, as your 'sister-in-law,' I would definitely come to visit you."

She emphasized the word "sister-in-law," and the pregnant woman's face visibly darkened.

Eleanor noticed the confrontation between the two and the mood of the pregnant woman.

That's when she jumped in, "Hailey, maybe Austin didn't tell you because he didn't want you to get too tired? Otherwise, as a sister-in-law, you would definitely be here taking care of that sick girl."
