Semua Bab Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now: Bab 321 - Bab 330

Gertrude was oblivious to Chet's identity. Seeing his refined bearing, she assumed he was just bluffing.She let out a string of curses, "Evelyn's just like her mother, a shameless slut. First Warren, now this suave pretty boy. Are you all blind? Don't you know what kind of person she really is?"As Gertrude's words trailed off, she watched in disbelief as Chet, who had been all smiles moments earlier, swiftly raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to Leo.Caught off guard, Leo staggered backward.Before he could even process what had happened, another forceful kick struck his shin.A sharp crack reverberated through the air, followed by Leo's piercing cries of agony."Grandma, cut it out. That's Chet Sullivan, head honcho of the Sullivans. You know, the guy who smiles at your face but stabs you in the back."Gertrude was struck dumb with fear. Her eyes flicked between Chet and her grandson writhing on the ground."How could you... H-how could you hit someone?" she man

Evelyn shuddered as she stumbled backward and hit the wall. The sensation of the cold concrete brought her back to her senses.She knew that if she signed the paper, it was highly likely that her father would die on the surgical table.But if she didn't sign it, her father's life would be in even greater danger.Facing such a difficult decision, Evelyn forced herself to calm down.She walked over to the doctor. After taking the consent form, she signed it with shaky hands.A teardrop slowly rolled down her cheek and landed on the consent form.Evelyn choked out, "Could I go in and accompany my father?"The doctor frowned. "The surgery will take seven to eight hours. You can't enter in your current condition. Please wait outside. We will try our best to save him."Evelyn nodded meekly as she watched the door of the emergency room swing shut.Agonizingly, the minutes ticked by. It had only been half an hour, but she felt as though a century had passed.Evelyn paced in the corri

The caller was an unknown overseas number. Even if his voice were different, Chet wouldn't mistake him for anyone else.At once, Chet raised his head. He looked at Evelyn.With a trembling voice, he answered, "She's doing fine. What about you?"Warren sounded like he was in pain. "Pass her the phone."Chet immediately walked over to Evelyn. He bent down and said, "It's Warren. He's fine."Upon hearing that, Evelyn froze.Ten long seconds passed before she returned to her senses. She immediately took the phone from Chet. With a shaky voice, she said, "Warren."Then, tears started rolling down her face.Feeling bad, Warren closed his eyes. "Evie, I'm fine. The area has been secured. I can go back in a few days. Has Dr. Elwood arrived?""Yeah. Dad's surgery was successful," Evelyn choked out."That's great. Looks like I didn't go back on my words. Evie, did you eat and sleep well?""Yeah. I had beef stew with a few breadsticks just now."When Warren heard her nasal tone, h

Warren's expression was grim when he glared at Iris. His gaze was filled with obvious hate. He pushed Iris aside and then pulled Evelyn into his arms.His gaze, which was filled with hate just moments ago, turned warm when he looked at Evelyn.His tone was sweeter as well. He said, "Evie, I'm sorry for worrying you."Evelyn's throat felt a little dry. Warm tears filled her eyes."Warren, you…"Evelyn couldn't finish her sentence before she realized she was completely spent. She had been forcing herself to stay strong the entire time, and that strength had finally been depleted.Her body felt light, and she collapsed into Warren's arms immediately."Evie, Evie!"Warren immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up. Then, he hurried toward the hospital's ward.He never even spared Iris a glance.Iris became so angry that she ground her teeth loudly.She stood behind him and scolded, "Evelyn brings bad luck, Warren. Everyone close to her is dead because of tha

When Ethan turned around, he saw Jazzie. He arched his brow mysteriously and asked, "Shall we set a date, then?"Jazzie glared and replied angrily, "Set a date your ass!"She operated her wheelchair and made her way to her mother. In a serious manner, she said, "Mom, there is nothing between him and me. The pregnancy was just a lie I told you, so don't fall for his pranks."Gladys held Jazzie's hand to comfort her. The former replied, "Jazzie, I know you are in a bad mood because you lost the baby, but Ethan had nothing to do with that. It wasn't his fault. The two of you are still young, and you'll have kids, eventually. Isn't that right, Ethan?"Gladys smiled at Ethan. The glee in her eyes was obvious.Ethan grinned and agreed, "That's right, Mrs. Hoffman.""Right, your ass! Stop messing around, Ethan Xavier! Get the hell out of here. You are not welcome."Gladys glared at Jazzie and then scolded, "Why are you using such uncouth words? That isn't ladylike at all. Ethan, if she
