Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 170

Eileen was sandwiched between two staff members, strictly watched and escorted back to the military camp.

No sooner had she gotten off the vehicle than she bumped into the head director.

The head director was so pissed off that he started to reprimand Eileen as soon as he spotted her.

Eileen was scolded until she dared not to lift her head. She lowered her gaze to her shoelaces and barely dared to breathe.

Finally, another director couldn't stand it and stepped in, "Morning training is almost over, let her get back to the crew."

Only then did the head director let Eileen go.

As soon as Eileen was free, she bolted!

Morning training was the same as usual.

At lunchtime, Eileen was seen sneaking off to the back wall with a pot of freshly made soup.

Arriving at the back wall and finding no one there, Eileen was overjoyed and about to climb over the wall using a stone.

Suddenly, a familiar male voice rang out from behind. "Hey, Ms. Lopez, what are you up to?"

Eileen jumped, turned around, and found it was Eddie.

Eddie was walking with Lucas, side by side. Eddie was leaning half of his body on Lucas, looking like he was kidnapping Lucas.

Eileen was worried that Eddie would call over the staff, so she quickly hid in the shadows of a nearby tree. She gestured at Eddie, signaling him to be quiet and not speak!

Eddie didn't understand what she meant, thinking Eileen was asking where he was going, so he said, "Lucas is on duty today, so he needs to water the garden. I'll accompany him."

Eileen waved at Eddie again, telling him to go quickly, don't linger here, don't reveal her location!

Eddie finally understood and was about to leave.

Then he thought of something and suddenly turned back to ask, "Ms. Lopez, Mr. Reed got discharged so soon, is he okay?"

Eileen was taken aback.

She straightened up slowly from the shadow of the tree, holding the thermos, looking at Eddie with a puzzled face, "Egbert... got discharged?"

Ten minutes later, in the Training Officer's Office.

Eileen was shocked to see that Egbert was actually there.

There were other people in the Training Officer's Office, including a cameraman and two assistant instructors.

As Eileen approached, everyone in the room turned to look at her.

Eileen stood at the door without going in, just lifting her thermos a bit, looking at Egbert, and blinking.

At this point, Egbert put down the document in his hand and said calmly, "So it is decided, the military exercise is set for the day after tomorrow, meeting adjourned."

The two assistant instructors then got up and left, one in front, one behind.

It wasn't until they had all left that Egbert spoke, "Come in."

Eileen quickly stepped in. She put the thermos on the table and asked Egbert, "How did you get discharged? Can you be discharged?"

Egbert smiled a little and said, "The doctor said it was okay."

Eileen frowned and said, "Come here."

Egbert obliged and moved closer to her.

Eileen checked on Egbert and found that he was indeed in good condition, "You recovered quite fast."

Egbert didn't say anything.

Eileen sat across from Egbert, opened the thermos, and handed it to him, "Have some soup. It's good for you after being discharged."

Egbert looked at the soup in front of him. It looked the same as last time.

He didn't say anything, just ate it quietly.

Eileen asked curiously, "Is it good?"

Egbert said calmly, "It's okay."

Eileen was a bit disappointed, "Is it not tasty?"

Egbert was silent.

Egbert looked at her with surprise, "You made this?"

Eileen said, "Yes, the chef was too busy at noon to cook for me, so I found a pot and some ingredients and made it myself. Is it not tasty?"

Egbert was speechless.

Eileen felt a bit down, she grumbled, "If it's not tasty, don't have it. Give it back to me."
