Eleanor agreed obediently with a simple "Ok", then headed to the bathroom. After filling the tub with warm water, she immersed herself in it.
The warm water washing over her skin brought a small sense of relief to her tired body and mind.
Hailey prepared clean towels and pajamas for her, then went to the kitchen to whip up a big bowl of soup.
Although Eleanor had a new heart, she was still a lot weaker than most due to the major surgery.
She'd been drenched in the rain for quite some time and Hailey couldn’t help but worry if she might catch a cold. With this in mind, she asked the housekeeper to fetch some cold medicine.
When Eleanor got out of the bath, she saw the soup and cold medicine waiting for her on the coffee table, which warmed her heart.
She sat down on the couch, had the soup and took the medicine. She then followed Hailey to the second floor.
"When I bought this house, I had two master bedrooms built. Even though I knew you wouldn't come back, I insisted on it. It felt like you were still with me if I kept a room for you." Hailey said.
Eleanor looked at Hailey, who was making the bed, tears welling in her eyes.
The first half of her life, she had barely made it through with the help of Hailey and Garett.
Now, it was her turn to take care of them.
After making the bed, Hailey patted the soft bedding, "Come on, get some sleep and don't think about anything, okay?"
Eleanor obediently nodded, got under the covers and laid down.
At that moment, it felt just like being home again. She relaxed completely and soon fell asleep.
Once Eleanor was asleep, Hailey quietly stepped out of the room.
