Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 167

[What the heck is happening?]

[Oh my God!]

[I can’t watch this anymore!]

The cameraman is also freaking out on the inside!

What the hell are these two up to?

After giving CPR to Egbert twice, Eileen turned her head and found the cameraman still standing dumbly at the door.

While she continued pressing down on Egbert’s chest, she yelled anxiously, “Call an ambulance, quick!”

The cameraman hesitated, not quite catching up with the situation.

Eileen shouted again, “Hurry up!”

Only then did the cameraman snap out of it, and immediately relayed the message through his headset to the directing team.

[What’s going on?]

[What on earth is happening?]

[Egbert looks so pale!]

[I thought they were kissing… Sorry, my bad! Eileen seems to be performing CPR on Egbert? What’s wrong with him?]

[What the hell happened? Can the production team explain? My heart is about to jump out of my chest!]

By the time the staff’arrived, Eileen had completed the CPR.

Egbert gasped for breath, clutching the edge of the couch tightly. He struggled to say. I’m fine. It’s just an old issue.”

Eileen shouted, “No way! You need to go to the hospital now!”

Then she asked the director, “Is the ambulance here yet?”

The director said, “It’s on its way!”

Ten minutes later, the paramedics arrived, and Egbert was loaded onto the ambulance.

Without hesitating, Eileen hopped into the ambulance after him.

By the time the ambulance had left, the director finally came back to his senses and asked, “Where’s Eileen?”

One of the staff pointed to the departing ambulance and said, “She went with him.”

The director said, “What’s she doing? She can’t leave the set!”

During the recording of the show, guests are not allowed to leave the set.

A co-director said, “Just let it go. It’s a special case. Where’s our car? We should follow them!”

When the production team reached the nearest hospital, they didn’t see Egbert, but they did see Eileen pacing anxiously outside the emergency room.

The director approached her and said, “Let’s get you back to the set.”

Eileen scowled and firmly said, “I’m staying here.”

The director said, “You can’t stay. You…”

Eileen suddenly grabbed the director by the collar of his shirt, squinting her eyes, and word by word, she said, “1. Am. Staying.”

The director swallowed hard, nervously looking at the enraged girl in front of him, and hesitantly said, “Okay… okay.”

Eileen let go of him, turned around, bit her finger, and stared anxiously at the door of the emergency room.

Twenty minutes later, the door of the emergency room opened.

Egbert was wheeled out.

His face was still quite pale, but he was conscious.

Eileen immediately walked over. Looking at Egbert with a worried face, she first checked his pulse.

After she was sure that Egbert’s pulse was normal, Eileen took a sigh of relief.

She asked softly, “Are you okay?”

Egbert nodded slightly to signal that he was fine.

Eileen pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She followed him into the hospital room.

Nt was a private room. When the production team went to talk to the doctor, only Egbert and Eileen were left in the room.

Egbert felt a bit tired from lying down and wanted to sit up.

Eileen immediately stood up, helped him adjust his pillow, and carefully supported him.

Egbert looked out the door. The door of the room was not closed. He could see many people gathering outside.

Egbert gently patted Eileen’s hand and softly said, “I’m fine.”

Eileen lowered her head and bit her lip, “It’s all my fault.”

Egbert squeezed her hand and said, “I’m really okay.”

Eileen didn’t say anything. She looked at the bed sheet, her face remaining gloomy.

After a while, the director came in and relayed the doctor’s instructions.

Egbert needed to stay in the hospital for a while, but everyone else could leave.

The director looked at Eileen and tentatively said, “So, shall we go back together?”

Eileen stayed where she was, as if she hadn’t heard.

The director could only try to persuade her gently, “Let Mr. Reed rest. We shouldn’t disturb him.”

Eileen’s face was tense, and suddenly she said, “I’m staying with him tonight.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, the director almost lost it, “How is that possible? You can’t stay overnight…”

Eileen glared at the director, her eyes bloodshot.

She said firmly, “I. Am. Staying.”

If he weren’t sure he couldn’t win in a fight against her, the director would love to knock her out and carry her back to the set.

The director turned to Egbert for help, “Mr. Reed, you see..!’

“Let her stay here,” Egbert glanced at the cot beside him, “She has a place to sleep.”

The director could not rebuttal, but this was a breach of the rules!

Egbert suddenly said to Eileen, “I’d like some water.”

Eileen stood up, grumbling, “You’ve just had your stomach pumped, you can’t drink anything. If you want me to leave, just say it, don’t make excuses…”

But Eileen still left the room.

The director then turned to Egbert, “Mr. Reed, she…”

Egbert shook his head and exchanged a few words with him.

After a while, when the director came out of the room, he sighed and said to Eileen, Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Eileen didn’t ask what Egbert had said to him. She lowered her head and responded softly.

When the production team left, the director asked the cameraman to turn off the camera. The audience didn’t know that Eileen had stayed.

After everyone else had left, Eileen went back into the room.

She went to the bedside, bowed her head very low, and apologized in a low voice, “I didn’t notice it was a liquor-filled chocolate. I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”

Egbert, sitting on the bed, softly said, “I don’t blame you.”

Eileen didn’t say anything else. She lowered her head to adjust Egbert’s quilt, adjusted the position of his pillow, and then sat on the chair next to him, saying, “Go to sleep. I’ll stay with you here.”

Egbert glanced at her and didn’t say anything, just slowly laying down.

At this moment, she was feeling extremely guilty. Making her do something for him might alleviate her guilt a bit.

Eileen really didn’t sleep all night.

At around three in the morning, Egbert’s IV bag was almost empty. Eileen didn’t want to disturb him, so instead of ringing the nurse’s bell, she went to the nurse’s station herself.

By the time she returned with the nurse, Eileen suddenly stopped.

She looked at the hospital bed. Due to the effects of the medication, Egbert was still asleep.

She then looked at the chair she had just been sitting in next to the bed.

Eileen frowned.

When she left earlier fearing she might wake Egbert, she didn’t move the chair at all.

But now, the position of the chair had changed.

Had someone been here?

Eileen squinted her eyes. She went to the door of the ward. As she looked to the right, she saw a person in a grey coat running down the fire escape stairs quickly.

Was it a fan?

Or a journalist?

Eileen scrunched her brows and immediately headed that way.

When Eileen pushed open the door to the fire escape, she didn’t expect the person hadn’t left, but was waiting for her behind the door.

The person victously swung at her with their palm.

But Eileen’s reaction was extremely fast. Almost instinctively, she dodged to the side avoiding the attack, while taking a half step back.

The attacker seemed surprised to have missed. He hummed in confusion, seemingly ready to give up.

But Eileen retaliated.

The light in the fire escape was shattered in their fight.

In the dark, the sounds of fighting echoed.

Èileen didn’t know who the person was, but she felt their movements were familiar.

As she was pondering, a man’s sinister laughter rang in her ears: “Interesting.”.

Eileen was taken aback.

That voice…

It was NightKing!
