Chapter 1153: Eileen's voice carried clearly across the space, each word striking the young man's heart with significant impact. She seemed surrounded by a glow. While he was dressed in plain, dark clothing, the contrast between them was striking. The young man glanced at the money in the man's wallet, then gritted his teeth, turned, and walked away.
In his rush, he accidentally bumped into another man who was carrying a cup of hot coffee, causing a disturbance.
"Oh my God! What's wrong with you? Are you blind?" The young man, looking bewildered, shook his head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." He trailed off, eager to leave.

The commotion caught Eileen's attention. She had no intention of getting involved, but once the young man spoke, she found herself unable to remain seated.
She quickly stood and approached, fixing her gaze on the young man.
The young man had pulled the brim of his hat down low, making it difficult for Eileen to see his face clearly. When he noticed her approaching from the corner of his eye, he shrugged off the person holding him and dashed out the door.
Outside, under the sunlight, the young man sprinted with all his might. His hat was caught by the early autumn wind and flew off, landing on the ground.
The young man didn't even bother to pick up the hat. He ran away as fast as his legs could carry him. Eileen quickly opened the door, stepped out, and picked up the hat from the ground. She had a bad feeling about this.

"No, I don't know him," Eileen replied. She turned around to go back into the coffee shop, but the man refused to leave and continued pestering her. "If you know him, why did you pick up his hat? And he ran away the moment you walked over. Why would he do that?" One of the staff members from the coffee shop quickly cout to intervene. It was only when the staff member promised to make another cup of coffee for free that the man stopped pestering Eileen.
Back inside the coffee shop, Eileen sat down and picked up her phone. She quickly sent a message to Bryan, asking him when Milford would be released from prison.

Soon, Bryan sent a reply saying that Milford still had three more days to go before he would be released.
"I don't know him,” Eileen said suddenly, laughing and shaking ther head. "What were we talking about earlier?"
Aaron was clearly displeased. "You were praising Milford. My fathertalked for so long, and you barely reacted. However, when it comes to praising Milford, you seem quite eager."
