Chapter 18
“Tell your aunt to stop sending these worthless things to my house. It’s absolutely disgusting” Lilyvelled.
Eloise stared at the jerky that was scattered all over the tour. Felicia had spent a long time preparing them for her.
She lifted her head and glared at Lily. “They aren’t disgusting. You are!”
“How dare you insult me?” Lily pointed at Eloise and yelled, “You’ve

me and the Killemme family. From today onward, you have no place in Kingsbury!! want you out of Kingsbury Hospital and out of this town immediately!”
With that, Lily stored back into the compound and ondered Maryanne to slant the door behind her.

“This is the most exclusive district in Kingsbury. It’s not a place anyone can just enter. She where people like her belong!”
Hoise had no intentions of getting involved with the Kilborne family any longer. She beat down, picked up the jerky, and placed it back into the box. Then, under Lily’s scombul gaze, she walked back to her villa.
When she saw her heading toward the villa across from ber, Lilly scoffed. “In the end, she’s still depending on my son’s money. And here I thought how honorable
Upon returning home, Eloise carefully placed the flowers in a vase. Whitle gazing at them, she instantly felt her anger dissipating. There was no point in getting upset over people like them.
She glanced at the box of jerky and decided to rinse them before laying thein out on the balcony to dry.
After opening the parcel fully, she discovered that apart from jerky, there was also some canned seafood inside. On the packaging, there was a note attached.” Boise, I’m William’s grandmother, Martha. Felicia has told me so much about you.
“Although we’ve never met, Lalready feel a great fondness for you. I was thrilled when William told me you agreed to marry him. 1 prepared some canned seafood for you both. William is great at coolding, so ask him to make you some soup orchowder.
“If ‘there’s anything else you’d like to eat, just let me losow and I’ll have it sent over.”
Just by reading the note, Eloise could tell that Martha was a warm and kind–hearted lady.
She called Felicia, thanked her for the jerky she had sent, and asked her to pass on her thanks to Martha
After hanging up, she whipped up some baked potatoes and topped them with some chopped jerky. She pondered for a moment, then went to get the flowers she had bought today and placed them on the dining table. She snapped a photo and sent it to William.
She then typed a message. “Martha sent us some canned seafood, but I’m not sure how to prepare them.”
Noticing the time, Eloise figured he was probably still asleep. Sure enough, she only received his reply when she was about to head to bed.
“Grandma informed me. I’ll make you some seafood chowder when I get back
Okay”
“The flowers look beautiful”
“Yeah”
*I saw them in your post, but I was waiting for you to se
in me personally.”
Eloise paused as she read this imessage.
It felt strange. Although she had never met him, he was already her fiancé. It seemed like they had skipped the usual process of getting acquainted and dating and had gone straight to married life.
He sent another message, “Let’s renovate our home. You can design it however you like.”
Eloise looked around at the bare walls and noticed that there wasn’t a single decoration in sight–simply an empty bed. It seemed like the home really needed
Some renovation
“But I don’t have any experience.”
“If there’s anything you don’t understand or need help with, just ask Benjamin. By the way, Feel free to use it however you need.”

After bidding each other goodbye, Eloise lagged her phone to her chest and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, as soon as she arrived at the office, Peter’s assistant, Rowena Hyde, approached larr.
“Ms. Sullivan, please park your things and leave the hospital immediately. You’ve been flied.”
