Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 230

Eileen's eyes bulged as she stared at the back of the woman in front of her.

Forrest?

Egbert's ex-fiancée, wasn't that Forrest?

But then she thought again, it didn't seem likely.

What's the connection between Egbert's ex-fiancée and Jarvis? How could she possibly be in Jarvis' hospital room?

The woman seemed oblivious to Eileen's gaze.

They made their way through the small hall outside and entered the largest room in the VIP ward.

As soon as Eileen stepped in, she saw Jarvis lying on the hospital bed munching on a pear. And there, sitting in a chair next to him, was Bartley Forrest, who was actually cutting pears for Jarvis!

Eileen was frozen in place. Why was Bartley here?

If Bartley was here, then this Harriet might actually be...

Simon looked a bit taken aback as he spotted Eileen and Egbert.

He immediately put down the fruit and knife in his hands and stood up to greet them. "Ms. Lopez, Mr. Reed, what brings you here?"

Jarvis was also taken aback. He knew Eileen would come, after all, she had called him in the morning.

But he didn't expect Egbert would come too.

Jarvis attempted to sit up.

Seeing this, Simon quickly stopped him, "Don’t move around, your wound might crack."

Jarvis had to stop.

At this moment, Harriet brought over two chairs and said to Egbert and Eileen, "Please sit."

Eileen gave Harriet a glance, her mind now filled with doubts, then she said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Harriet smiled warmly at her and said, "You're welcome."

Eileen's confusion deepened! The questions in her mind scratched at her like cat claws!

Was this Ms. Forrest, Egbert's ex-fiancée?

She couldn't be, right?

"Ms. Lopez, Ms. Lopez?"

"Huh?" Eileen snapped back to reality, realizing Jarvis was talking to her. She quickly asked, "What?"

Jarvis said, "I was saying, thank you for the fruit."

Eileen waved her hand, "No problem."

After saying this, she sneaked another peek at Ms. Forrest.

When she saw Ms. Forrest looking back at her, she quickly looked away, feeling guilty!

Then she cleared her throat, her eyes darting around the room, and casually asked Simon, "By the way, why are you here?"

Simon sighed, "Actually, I was in the car with Mr. Dave when the accident happened. Mr. Dave got injured trying to protect me."

"Huh?" Eileen was stunned.

Jarvis, however, said to Simon, "I told you it wasn't your fault. You shouldn't blame yourself."

Eileen, who was unaware of the situation, asked, "I thought it was because of Jarvis' crazy fan?"

Simon nodded, then recounted the events of that day.

It was Eileen's birthday, and he had wanted to ask her out, but she was unavailable, so he spent the day with Jarvis.

On the way back that night, Jarvis was followed by a fanatic fan.

Jarvis' driver noticed the follower and tried to shake them off, but not only did they persistently chase after them, they even overtook them, swerving from the adjacent lane and forcing their way into their lane.
