My family Chose My Sister So I Left 第二十四章
Evelyn had planned to return to Gray Harbor the day the investigation ended. But the doctors found that the nerve tear from the forced pull was worse than expected, so she had to stay another night. Helena asked if she could bring dinner. Evelyn said, "All right." At dusk, her mother arrived with a bowl of mushroom soup. Evelyn took one sip and immediately put down her spoon."What's wrong?""There's bitterleaf in it." Helena froze. "Wasn't that always your favorite?""It's Serena's favorite." Helena looked down at the bowl."I remember you eating two bowls the day you came home at fifteen.""Because you made it yourself." Helena's fingers trembled. She didn't cry or bring up the nine years she'd spent searching for her daughter. She just picked up the bowl. "I'll make you another one.""Don't." Helena stopped."I don't want soup tonight.""All right." Helena carried the soup away. Marcus stood outside the door for a long time, holding the family photo taken when Evelyn was fifteen. In

The investigation wasn't a family meeting. The next morning, only the pack doctors, the marshal, the Gray Harbor medical representative, and those involved in Evelyn's medical history gathered in a consulting room at the Black Pine clinic. Evelyn asked no one to apologize. Dr. Marsh opened the first record."About ten years ago, the patient suffered silver poisoning. How did it happen?" Her mentor from the Academy of Pharmacy answered, "She tested an antidote for Marcus that had never been tested on a human subject.""Who asked her to test it?""No one. She chose to do it herself." Dr. Marsh nodded and continued. "Then why was the remedy ultimately credited to Serena?" Serena went pale."I took the formula.""And then?""I cut my arm and claimed I was the one who brought back the medicine." Marcus closed his eyes. The marshal simply wrote it down.Dr. Marsh opened the next file. "Two months before Evelyn disappeared, why did her old silver wound suddenly get worse?""The restraining mi

When Evelyn woke, she was staring up at the familiar wooden beams of the attic. The room she had moved into at fifteen and left at twenty-four had been completely renovated. There was a rehabilitation bed, handrails, pain-management equipment, and a wheelchair ramp. Everything was in place.Adrian stood in the doorway. "It all meets Gray Harbor's highest standards."Evelyn glanced at him. "Who asked you to do this?" He fell silent. Noah handed the Gray Harbor medical proxy to the Black Pine doctor. "Now that she's conscious, all non-emergency treatment requires her consent again."Adrian said, "The road will aggravate her wound. At least wait until the Blood Moon peak passes.""I'm going back to Gray Harbor today," Evelyn said."Evelyn—""I'm going back today." Adrian stayed where he was, blocking her way. Evelyn looked at him. "You've already made one decision for me. Are you going to make another?"Hurried footsteps sounded outside. Helena and Marcus came in. At the sight of her daug

That night, the Blood Moon came three hours earlier than predicted. Evelyn first felt her chest tighten. Then the violent agitation of Adrian's wolf surged through the bond. After five years without such close resonance, her heart rate shot up, triggering a flare-up in the old silver wound. Noah and Dr. Marsh wheeled her into the treatment room."Three milliliters of sedative," Dr. Marsh said. "Cut off the outside stimulus first." Evelyn had just nodded when the bond was suddenly pulled tight from the other end. Her whole body arched on the bed. Noah looked up. "He's forcing the pull." The marshal had already sent someone for Adrian. Minutes later, Adrian burst into the clinic."Take her back to Black Pine." Dr. Marsh stepped in front of the bed. "She doesn't need to be moved right now. We have it under control.""Black Pine has her complete bond records from five years ago.""Then have them sent here." Adrian looked at the bed. Evelyn was still conscious."Back to Black Pine," he said

Adrian rented a place across from the clinic. He didn't come over on the first day. On the second, he sent a sealed medicine case filled with Black Pine's best-preserved painkillers. Evelyn had it returned unopened. On the third day, her old wound flared up without warning. Noah wasn't home, and Mia was at the neighbor's. Evelyn braced herself against the doorframe and lowered herself to the floor. She had just dragged out the medicine box when someone knocked."Who is it?""Me." Evelyn didn't open the door. Ten minutes later, the pain worsened, and her hands began to shake. Whoever was outside didn't knock again. At last, she opened the door a crack. Adrian stood in the rain."Third row, right side. The gray bottle," Evelyn said. He didn't ask questions. He took the medicine from exactly where she had said and stepped back outside."Water." He passed her some. Evelyn took the medicine and closed the door again.Adrian sat outside for half an hour. When they saw each other the next d

Adrian went to Gray Harbor that same day without telling anyone. A fine rain fell outside the clinic, where patients came and went. He stood across the street for more than an hour before a woman with a cane appeared at the door. Evelyn was much thinner than she had been in the photograph. She walked slowly, her left hand on the railing and her right on the cane. On the third step, she stopped for a while. Adrian was about to step off the curb when a man came out of the clinic. Instead of taking her arm, the man kept his hand near hers without touching her. Evelyn raised hers. Only then did he take it.Adrian stood motionless in the rain. He had imagined countless times that Evelyn might still be alive. He had imagined her plotting revenge, hiding by choice, or walking back into Black Pine one day to tell everyone coldly that she had just needed a few years of peace. He had never imagined she had truly lost the physical abilities she had once valued most. Evelyn reached a small car,
