Chapter 1173: Eileen rolled her eyes, her tone sharp as she said, "How can you just pretend nothing ever happened? Can you turn back the clock more than a decade and skip college, or somehow makeforget everything I know now?" Refusing the water Bryan offered, she turned her face away in defiance.

"Gabriele, look, Mommy's upset," Bryan said, signaling to Gabriela. Right away, Gabriela lifted her tiny hands, gently turning Eileen's face back. "Mommy, you'll feel better if you drink more water," she said sweetly.

In the morning, Eileen had explained to Gabriela that she was in the hospital because she wasn't feeling well, and that drinking more water would help her get better. Now, Gabriela was just parroting Eileen's own words back to her, even though Eileen wasn't actually sick.

Unable to resist Gabriela's hopeful gaze, Eileen finally gave in. She grabbed Bryan's wrist, drank the water, and then lay back down with Gabriela nestled in her arms.

"I haven't seen her in years. It's irrelevant whether she was my professor back then or not.

"I've gotten the confessions you need. It's just a few rumors-nothing serious." Eileen typed back a quick "OK." After a moment's thought, she told Phoebe about the matter of Jacob pursuing the school beauty back in his university days.

Eileen thought Phoebe had been so good to her; it wouldn't feel right to keep this from her.

It wasn't that Jacob couldn't be trusted, but with how absentminded he could be, who was to say the school beauty wouldn't try to take advantage of him? Bryan had been quietly watching Eileen this whole time. When he saw her busy with her phone, he smiled.
