Evelyn handed Remy back to Tammy. Then, she came up with an excuse to leave. When she got home, she scrounged around her drawers until she found a bag of her herbal medicine. Immediately, she had a friend conduct the analysis.When she saw the report, she was crushed.Their child hadn't died due to vigorous movement, the true culprit had been the medicine. And Warren had taken her to get this medicine himself.Her doctor had told her that she had taken too many Plan B pills, which had caused her ovaries to go into premature failure and reduced her fertility. She had thought that taking the pill once or twice a month was considered frequent.But she now knew that a couple of Plan B pills could not cause such great damage. The main reason that she had difficulty conceiving was because Warren had given her this medicine.He had never wanted a kid the entire time.After learning that she had a miscarriage, he had even placed the blame on her. He had wanted to use this as an excus
The entire ballroom was surrounded with flowers. The seats were all filled with Seth's family members as well as Evelyn's friends and colleagues.Everyone was stunned when they saw her standing at the entrance in her gown. All of them gasped in unison. "Wow!"Before Evelyn came to her senses, her colleague approached her and handed her a bouquet. With a smile, she said, "Ms. Jefferson, we wish you happiness."Stupefied, Evelyn looked at Seth, who was standing not far away. He was dressed very formally today, wearing a light gray suit and a dark tie. He watched her with a sentimental gaze.She would be stupid if she didn't know what was happening.Ever since she agreed to date Seth, she never saw him much. He kept giving her the excuse that he was busy. It turned out that he had been preparing this surprise for her.She would be lying if she said she wasn't moved by such a thoughtful gesture.Smiling, she slowly walked forward. With every step, people gave her flowers and congrat
Inside the envelope, there was a paternity test report attached with a note. It read, "Seth, Albert is your son. He'll be staying with you for some time. Once I'm less busy, I'll come pick him up. Signed, Jennifer."When Seth saw the handwriting on the note as well as the signature, he was shocked.Jennifer was his girlfriend while he was abroad. They had dated for half a year and had been living together during that time. After that, he had come to a realization that he couldn't forget about Evelyn and was constantly calling Evelyn's name in his dreams. Thinking that it wasn't fair to Jennifer, he broke up with her.At the time, Jennifer had left him rather decisively.However, he hadn't known that she had already been pregnant then.Seth didn't know how to face Evelyn. He looked at her with reddened eyes and said, "Evelyn, I don't know what's going on. Listen to me, you're the one I've always been in love with. This child was an accident."At this point, Evelyn had understood
Jazzie wiped away her tears and glared at Warren. "Do you know why Evelyn wanted to break up with you? Do you think it was really over something as simple as jealousy?"On her birthday, she had planned to propose to you. While decorating the venue, she had suffered cuts all over her hands. However, after Clara called you, you immediately left and abandoned her at home."When she was hemorrhaging from her miscarriage, she tried to call you, but you called her unreasonable. If Chet hadn't saved her, she would have died from blood loss."When she needed your signature for surgery, she called you over and over. If you had any feelings for her, you wouldn't have chosen to ignore those calls or turn off your phone."If you had had even the slightest bit of care for her, you wouldn't have asked her to give Clara a blood transfusion after she had already lost so much blood."Don't you know that she has Rhesus negative blood? At the time, the blood bank had run out of that kind of blood. T
Knowing all of this now, Warren's heart ached more than he had ever experienced before. He immediately got up and grabbed his keys before running out of the room.After Evelyn left the hotel, she drove off alone without a destination in mind. All she wanted was to go somewhere where she could be alone. She wanted to calm herself down and spend the night on her own.Her phone was ringing off the hook. Seth, Jazzie, and even her father were blowing up her phone. However, she didn't want to answer either of their calls. She didn't want them to know what she was feeling right now.She felt like God had abandoned her.She was kind, obedient, and clever. Why was it so difficult to find happiness?She didn't desire riches and wealth. She just wanted to spend her life with a man who loved her wholeheartedly.Three years ago, she had thought that Warren could make her happy. Thus, she had run toward him at full speed.She never thought that things would end so miserably.After three yea
Warren's eyes hid an indescribable pain. He carefully enveloped Evelyn in his arms and rubbed her back lightly. He murmured in a hoarse, trembling voice, "Evie, you can scold me. If that doesn't vent your anger, you can beat me up too. I'm begging you to not bottle everything up, okay?"Evelyn didn't struggle and simply let Warren hold her. She didn't have the strength in her to fight with him, and she didn't want to let herself get upset over him again.She laughed softly. "Warren, I should thank you. If I only found out about the kid after I became irrevocably in love with Seth, it would hurt even more."What happened tonight wasn't a huge loss for me. People will just gossip about me and give me pitying looks for a few days. But after that, everyone will forget."Just like how everyone had forgotten that she was just Warren's pet canary.She had already gotten used to the gossip about her. Maybe this was her destiny after all.When she was younger, people used to criticize her
Evelyn wormed her way out of Warren's embrace and stepped back. She said indifferently, "Then stay away from me. What we had was in the past. I won't get hung up on who is right and who is wrong anymore. You don't have anything to make up for either. A relationship should be born from a willing heart anyway."I just hope that the next time we meet, we can go back to a normal relationship as old colleagues. I don't want anything else."With that, she removed the jacket from her shoulders and shoved it in Warren's hands. Then, she turned around and got into her car.No matter how much Warren called out to her, she didn't look back.She simply walked away beneath the cold moonlight and disappeared from Warren's sight.…A week passed, and Seth still didn't come to work. Apparently, he had gone to find Jennifer, Albert's mother.Evelyn didn't pay it much mind. Instead, she threw herself into her gradually piling work.When she got off work on Friday, she found Diana and Albert in f
The next time Evelyn saw Seth was the night Diana became a godmother.He had lost a lot of weight, while his eyes were swollen, and his face was pale.He stood by the stairs and was smoking all by his lonesome.Evelyn made her way to him and handed him a bottle of water. In a soft voice, she asked, "Seth, have you found Jennifer?"Seth's eyes were bloodshot when he turned to her."I'm sorry, Evie. I've disappointed you."Evelyn smiled and shook her head. "Don't put the blame on yourself. After all, we never started dating. Ending this before it is too late is the best option for us. I don't want you to become an irresponsible jerk who I hate."With a broken heart, Seth closed his eyes. His voice was deep with helplessness."Albert was born with leukemia. All of our relatives got their blood tested, but none of their bone marrow is suitable. The doctor recommended that we try having another kid."Seth's eyes became wet with tears after he said those words.His eyes remained wa
