Chapter 170
Helena replied, “She’s awake, and she’s eaten.”
“Then we’ll go in and see her.”
Helena quickly said, “She needs to rest.”
Eileen said dismissively, “She can eat, so it doesn’t seem that serious.
She probably won’t fall asleep so soon after eating.”
Helena looked troubled. “Well…”
Inside the room, Aveline had of course heard the voices outside. She said coldly to Xavier:
“You’d better go out and tell Josephine to take Eileen and hide. I’m too dizzy and weak to call the police on her right now, but I definitely will tomorrow.”
Aveline didn’t believe that Eileen would have tripped her for no reason without Josephine’s instigation.
Maybe it was revenge for her splashing milk on Courtney, or maybe they thought she was pregnant and wanted to make her miscarry.
Xavier gave Aveline a deep look, said nothing, and got up to open the door and walk out. Immediately, Josephine’s raised voice came from outside the door, “Darling, how’s my sister?”
So loud, she was clearly afraid Aveline wouldn’t hear her from inside the room. Xavier replied to Josephine, “She needs to rest. You two should go home for now.” Josephine went “Oh,” and said, “I’m worried about my sister, I wanted to see her.
How did she fall? It’s a good thing she wasn’t pregnant, or it would have been a disaster.”
Eileen snorted. “Falling forward for no reason. Who knows if it was on purpose.”
Josephine immediately retorted to Eileen, “Paternal cousin, don’t say that. My sister didn’t want this to happen either.”
And my sister thought she was pregnant, so how could she not be careful and just fall for no reason?
Eileen replied to her, “Maybe she didn’t want to apologize to your mom.”
Josephine immediately stopped her, “Cousin, don’t say that.”
Xavier said flatly, “You all should go now. Let her get some rest.”

Chapter 170
After that, it grew quiet outside the door. It seemed Josephine and Eileen had left, and Xavier must have walked them out, because he didn’t come back right away.
Aveline lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, her almond–shaped eyes filled with an icy frost.
Even though Eileen and her family of ungrateful people were treacherous, Aveline remembered they were relatives after all, so she just distanced herself from them, not wanting to be confrontational.
But this time, Eileen was too vicious.
If she had really been pregnant, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And now Eileen had the nerve to spout nonsense outside her hospital room, showing no remorse at all.
Eileen had better run far away tonight, because tomorrow, she would definitely call the police on her.
The Beltran Hotel hallways definitely have security cameras. One look at the footage would show clearly how she fell.
Aveline got up, fighting off dizziness, walked to the door, and locked it.
Then she slowly walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Although she was terribly dizzy, she would feel uncomfortable sleeping without washing up first.
When Aveline came out of the bathroom, she heard someone outside trying to open the door.
Because she had locked it, he couldn’t open it, and then she heard Xavier’s voice,
“Aveline, stop messing around. Open the door.”
Aveline ignored him and walked back to the bed to lie down.
Outside the door, Xavier’s face was cold. “If you don’t open the door, then I’ll just have to kick it down.”
