Just as he was about to reach Evelyn, a gunshot echoed from behind, and the man crumpled to the ground. Blood pooled beneath him as he lay on the ground. Quickly, Warren shielded Evelyn's eyes, his voice a gentle reassurance. "Don't be afraid, it's over now. Let's go." With a tender gesture, he lifted Evelyn into his arms, exchanging a few words with Charlie before they departed. Evelyn, still reeling from the confrontation with the kidnapper, now rested weakly against Warren's chest. Her hands clung tightly to his shirt with her lips trembling. Her tear-filled eyes gazed at Warren as she weakly asked, "Warren, how's Mrs. Potter?" Warren dipped his head and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. He replied, "She had a few stitches on her back, but she's alright now. Don't worry." Evelyn gazed into Warren's eyes which were so reminiscent of Dennis'. She softly remarked, "In times of peril, most women would scream, yet Mrs. Potter charged forward without hesitation. Isn't that stra

Chester's gaze momentarily froze upon hearing that name. Wayne, the Larkin family's butler, stood as the sole victim of the tragic fire years ago. How could Skyler possibly have any connection to him and retain such a profound memory of the incident? He regarded her with a mixture of confusion and intrigue. "Do you recall anything else about Wayne?"Skyler shook her head. "I have no clear memories of him. However, his name often echoes in my nightmares. I believe he played a pivotal role in saving me, perhaps during that fire.""But according to the records, Wayne was the only person present during the fire, and surveillance footage confirms no one else entered." A sense of disquiet settled over the room. If Skyler was indeed present during the fire, it could have been a deliberate act rather than a mere accident. Dennis, who had remained silent until now, interjected, "While the footage from the day of the fire shows only Wayne's presence, there's a ten-minute gap in the surve

Evelyn didn't understand how Sally knew Xena. Not to mention, Xena didn't even like sweet stuff. She was averse to that kind of food.So why would she like Sally's chocolate chip cookies?Their conversation shocked everyone.Chet immediately walked over and tugged on Sally's hand, saying, "Grandma, you've got the wrong person. This is Evelyn, not your granddaughter."Only then did Sally realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She looked tearily at Evelyn and said, "What happened to Clara made me fall very ill. Even after getting better, I keep addressing the wrong person. "Sometimes, I hold onto Jennifer and call her Sonya. Oh, Evie, I hope you won't blame me for being so muddled."When Evelyn heard that, she felt a stab of pain in her heart. She felt so sorry for Sally. The granddaughter that she had doted on for over two decades ended up being so ungrateful, and her mother was most likely the one who murdered Sally's own daughter.Evelyn smiled slightly and shook her

Sally beamed from ear to ear. "You even remembered that I like wine, Evie. You're such a lovely young lady. Please pour me a glass."Evelyn poured Sally a glass and then served everyone else at the table their own glass too.Finally, when she presented Warren with his glass, she gulped. Quietly, she said, "Um, Warren, could I have a small sip?"Warren refused without a second thought. "Babe, you can't drink when you're pregnant. Have you forgotten? Or do you want to give birth to a little alcoholic?""It's fine if I just take a small sip. Or I can settle for just a taste. It's not like I can get drunk off wine."As she spoke, she licked her lips with her tongue.Seeing how she was practically drooling, Warren flicked her nose with a smile. He raised the glass to her mouth and said, "You can only have a taste. I'll smack your butt if you have a single sip more."Evelyn nodded, grinning. She took a whiff and found the smell to be very familiar. She felt like she'd had this somewhe

Dennis hesitated several times before ultimately placing his palm on the crown of Evelyn's head. Smiling gently, he said, "Don't cry. You're going to be a mother soon, so why are you still such a crybaby?"Evelyn wiped away her tears and looked up at him. "Where were you all these years? Why didn't you get in touch with me? Every winter, I went back to your old home to wait for you. "When they tore down that place, I even fought with the construction workers. I told them that if they demolished your house, you wouldn't be able to find your home anymore."Upon hearing those words, Dennis' eyes filled with tears despite the smile on his face. He delicately patted Evelyn's head a few times and said hoarsely, "We were being hunted down. If I contacted you, you would be in trouble. "However, after we found my mother's family, our life improved greatly. The reason I'm back is to investigate my mother's case, so I didn't want to bring you trouble."Evelyn sniffled. "Really? Are you lyi
