Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 144

Eileen's grandpa, Mr. Robin Howard, was a big shot in the medical field with countless students under his belt.

Yet in his entire life, he only took on three students.

The oldest and the first to become his disciple was Malloy Carl.

Nowadays, he's a big wig, loaded with honors from various associations and hospitals, and holds a super high social status.

Eileen hadn't been in touch with Malloy for a while.

The last time she saw him was the year after her grandpa passed away.

That year, she ran into her grandpa's three students when she was visiting his grave on the anniversary of her grandparents' death.

Just then, from the other end of the phone, Malloy's surprised voice rang out, "Eileen? Is that really you? Why the sudden call? Are you in town? Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Listening to Malloy's nonstop chatter, Eileen couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Malloy, the grandma of a friend of mine is sick, and I was hoping you could take a look."

Then, Eileen explained the situation and handed the phone over to Chad Lopez so he could fill Malloy in.

After a while, Chad handed the phone back to Eileen.

He said with a complex expression, "Mr. Carl wants to speak to you."

Eileen took over the phone.

From the other end, Malloy asked, "Eileen, which med school are you in now? Can you take some time off? I could go see your friend's grandma. If you're free, you could tag along."

Eileen said a little awkwardly, "Malloy, I didn't study medicine."

There was silence on the other end. Malloy was flabbergasted.

After a while, he finally said, "You didn't study medicine? How is that possible? Your talent... Did you study science then? Like your grandma? Are you planning to become a programmer or a scientist?"

Eileen bit her lip, "I didn't study science either."

This time, Malloy was silent for even longer, "Did you follow your dad and go to military school? Eileen, girls being military can get hurt easily…"

"Malloy…"

Eileen cut off Malloy, saying somewhat gloomily, "I became an actress."

Malloy thought he had heard wrong.

It took him a moment to respond, "What?"

Eileen said quietly, "Malloy, do you watch TV shows? I've been in a show that's been airing online. It's been viewed over a billion times."

Fifty-something, devoted to medical research, spending all day in a lab, clueless about TV, movies, variety shows, and tech stuff like the internet, computers, and smartphones, Malloy was speechless.

Finally, amidst Malloy's continuous sighs, Eileen hurriedly hung up.

After ending the call, she told Chad, "He said he could take a look at your mom's situation."

Chad nodded, looking deeply at Eileen, "Thank you so much for today."

Eileen laughed softly, "It's no problem."

Suddenly, Chad said, "But it would be great if you could come along to see my mom."

Eileen was taken aback, then smiled, comforting him, "Don't worry, Mr. Carl's medical skills are top-notch. With him in the picture, there's nothing to worry about."

Eileen and Chad didn't say much else, and then she went back to work.

Around noon, Eileen received a call from Egbert.

Egbert said he was waiting for her downstairs.

Eileen quickly dragged Galen downstairs.

Galen, being older and slower, complained while being dragged along by Eileen, "You're acting like you haven't eaten in ages!"

Eileen didn't argue, just kept walking quickly.

At the entrance to the TV station.

Eileen spotted Egbert in the passenger seat of the car right away.

She walked over excitedly, only to see another familiar face in the driver's seat.

It was Egbert's agent, Gilbert.
