How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 799

Elodie raised an eyebrow. “They don’t know I’m unwell, or about the surgery. This is an important assignment—I can’t just turn it down.”

Of course, she’d cooperate if it ever came to that.

Esmeralda knew Elodie’s problem was simply that she took on too much responsibility.

After helping Elodie settle in, Esmeralda finally noticed a man’s jacket draped over her bed.

Fleming had tossed it to her earlier.

On their way here, the sun had been relentless. Fleming had handed her his jacket so she could shield herself from the heat.

Remembering this, Esmeralda said quickly, “I’ll go return his jacket. You should get some rest.”

Elodie didn’t answer, but Esmeralda was already halfway out the door.

Watching Esmeralda’s retreating figure, Elodie could see the hope radiating from her. Esmeralda had admired Fleming since they were young—her feelings had always burned bright and steady.

The men’s quarters weren’t far.

Esmeralda hugged the jacket to her chest as she walked, unable to suppress the sense of delight. Fleming giving her his jacket today—he really did care, didn’t he?

The guys had been assigned two to a room.

As Esmeralda reached their door, she overheard voices from inside.

Fleming’s voice, usually so brisk and distant, sounded patient for once. “Don’t worry. We got here safely. The place isn’t so bad.”

Lucy’s voice rang out, full of skepticism. “I don’t believe you. I bet it’s awful over there. Show me your room, come on.”

Fleming obliged, turning his phone so she could see.

His roommate, Adrian, piped up with a teasing grin. “What’s this? A surprise inspection?”

Lucy just laughed, completely unbothered. “I’m only worried about my brother and you guys having a rough time—this isn’t some interrogation.”

Adrian nudged Fleming playfully. “You’re lucky, man. Having a sweet sister like that—makes life easy, doesn’t it?”
