The nursing home was top-tier and highly confidential, with all patient information signed under nondisclosure agreements. Patients were identified only by codes, not names. She only remembered his code, 99. Likewise, he knew hers, 11.Not a clue existed in his mind about her appearance or the sound of her voice. Even if they were to meet in the vast sea of people in the future, he wouldn't recognize her. These fragments played in Evelyn's mind.She relentlessly searched for the man who made her heart flutter, but he always vanished as soon as he appeared. She longed to embrace him, yet she couldn't reach him no matter how hard she tried.In her desperation, Evelyn grabbed onto something and held on tightly, murmuring, "Please don't leave, okay?"Warren's heart skipped a beat as he watched Evelyn's anxious and pale face. Suddenly, a genuine smile spread across his face.He stroked her head and gently said, "Alright, I won't leave. Please wake up soon, okay?"As they emb

Warren was left speechless by the question.He knew that Evelyn had been harboring resentment since the last incident.However, he had already sent someone to gather evidence, though it seemed to have been intercepted halfway.Since there was no response from him, Evelyn coldly pursed her lips."There's no need for an answer. I already know. You all can leave. I'll handle this on my own," Evelyn declared.At that moment, Seth's voice echoed from the doorway."Mr. Larkin, I have the evidence you wanted."Seth and Tammy walked toward Evelyn's bed.For the first time, Seth's composure slipped as he gazed at her pale face.Seth's gaze turned disdainful as he directed it at Warren. "Is this how you protect her, Mr. Larkin? Besides bringing her endless pain, what more can you offer? If you truly cared, you wouldn't let her suffer time and time again."Seth's own words stoked his anger, and the smoldering fury within him burst into flames. He delivered a punch to Warren's face."Th

Warren firmly demanded, "Evelyn, give it to me."Evelyn retorted, "Warren, haven't you hurt me enough? Must you expose my wounds for all to see?"Her resistance only fueled Warren's curiosity. Disregarding her protests, he forcefully seized the USB drive from her grasp and inserted it into the computer to watch.Gloria's alarmed voice pierced the air as Clara's image flickered on the screen. "Clara, what's wrong? Warren, Clara's collapsed. Hurry, get her to a doctor."As Warren glanced back and saw Clara lying on the ground, pale and trembling, he realized the severity of her condition.However, if he left now, he might never know the truth.Just as Warren was about to call for a doctor, Gloria's urgent voice pierced the air once more."Warren, hurry! Clara's convulsing and foaming at the mouth. If we don't get her medical help soon, it could be dangerous. Let's deal with the rest later. Evelyn didn't die, did she? There's no need to keep pressing Clara. If something terrible

Upon hearing Evelyn's request, Warren's eyes narrowed. His deep gaze turned icy, reflecting the darkness of his thoughts."Evelyn," he said firmly, "Apart from that, everything else is negotiable.""But that's all I want, Mr. Larkin. You can't go back on your word," Evelyn retorted.In an instant, Warren loomed over her with a stern look.His warm breath brushed against her face."Evelyn, do you want to get rid of me that quickly? Are you that eager to run to someone else?" he asked firmly.Unfazed, Evelyn met his gaze calmly. "Believe what you will," she replied.Warren's tone turned menacing. "Forget about it. I won't release you even a day before our agreement ends! The Sullivans will answer for this."With that, he stormed out.It remained a mystery how Warren convinced Clara, but eventually, she appeared in Evelyn's room wearing a hospital gown to offer her apology.The Sullivans compensated Evelyn for her mental distress, yet they cautioned that they would show no lenie

Simon chuckled awkwardly. "She once fell into the water and nearly drowned, so she's always been afraid."He then turned to Evelyn and shifted the conversation. "Where's my medication? You seem preoccupied with your sweetheart here and forgot about my prescription, hm? It's becoming increasingly challenging to comprehend the behavior of young couples these days."Taking the medicine from Evelyn, he popped two pills into his mouth.Warren perceived Simon's hesitation to broach the topic, recognizing the profound impact it had on Evelyn.If his guess was correct, whatever it was must have happened after she dropped out of school. He couldn't help but wonder where Evelyn had been that year and what had happened to her, leading her family to avoid talking about it.Warren draped an arm around Evelyn's shoulder, addressing Simon, "Apologies for the inconvenience, Mr. Jefferson. I have some free time this afternoon. How about we grab lunch together along with a few project managers?"

Yandel chuckled helplessly. "Warren, I have to confess something. My wife warned me ages ago. She threatened to divorce me if I dared breathe a word to you. She told me that you're not worthy of knowing the truth."With a sigh, he said, "I'm sorry, buddy," before hanging up abruptly, leaving Warren cursing in frustration.As Evelyn's car pulled away, she received a call from Seth. "Anything, Seth?" she asked."Cyrus has disappeared," Seth replied. "Our only witness for the court case is gone."Cyrus was the person Evelyn had saved, and now he was her only witness.The news of Cyrus' disappearance hit Evelyn hard. She slammed on the brakes, and the tires screeched loudly.Upon hearing the news, Warren rushed over. He pounded on the car door. "Evelyn, open up!"Evelyn was still on the phone with Seth. "He's injured. If he is on the run, he is signing his own death warrant unless someone is helping him escape.""There are signs of a struggle at the scene. I'm trying to track dow

A sharp pang pierced Warren's heart, casting a melancholy shadow over his chiseled features. He pursed his lips and silently stared at Evelyn.After a while, he said, "Evelyn, can't we go back to how things were before? Do you not feel tired of constantly opposing me every day?"Tears welled up in Evelyn's eyes, yet a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips."We can't proceed unless you alleviate the anguish of your absence during my greatest need. Help me forget the years you used me like a plaything. Let me forget your pact with Clara to use me as a surrogate. Can you grant me that, Warren?""When have I ever failed you in your moments of need? Didn't I rescue you from the water myself? And regarding Clara and the surrogacy, Evelyn, I need you to clarify what you're suggesting."Evelyn pushed him away and stared at him coldly. "You want to know? Ask your sweetheart. See what she has to say." With that, she drove away.Warren's gaze turned icy as he watched her car disap

Warren stood at the doorway in a sleek black suit, wearing a cold expression. Behind him was a disheveled Cyrus.His deep gaze lingered on Evelyn for a few seconds before he handed Cyrus over to the court clerk and took a seat in the observer's gallery.Cyrus walked toward the witness stand and weakly began, "Your Honor, I'm Cyrus Castillo from the IT department at the Larkin Corporation. I deleted the video, not because Ms. Jefferson asked me to, but because Mrs. Larkin threatened to fire me if I didn't."He added, "I was buying a house and getting ready for my wedding, but I was in a lot of debt. I couldn't risk losing my job, so I went along with it. But I also kept a copy of the video to sell to Evelyn. Sadly, it got stolen, and I got hurt badly."He continued with a sigh, "Evelyn saved me, and I promised to testify for her. But then they found me again and locked me up. Thankfully, Mr. Larkin's men rescued me just in time. Your Honor, although the USB drive was taken, I had al

Warren gazed at Evelyn with an intense fervor. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Evelyn, I need to talk to you."Before he could reach for Evelyn's hand, Jazzie stepped in. "What do you want? Do you feel sorry for Evie now that you've realized the truth? Mr. Larkin, that's unnecessary. You've already hurt Evie when you tried to get her to donate blood for Clara. Did you know she couldn't even donate blood at that time? She almost died trying to save Clara."She scoffed and went on, "And you, not only did you not believe her, but you also treated her like your mistress. Have you ever thought about how Evelyn felt when that recording came out? Three years of loyalty, only to be labeled a mistress in front of everyone."In a rage, she added, "Well, let me tell you, Evie isn't anyone's mistress. From now on, leave her alone. Evie, let's go!"Jazzie was fiery by nature, and if not for Warren's status, she would have given him a few slaps.She tried to take Evelyn with her, but Evelyn

After dropping those words like a bombshell, Evelyn walked away.Warren watched her leave, clenching his fists involuntarily.Suddenly, Clara emerged from the building. Seeing Warren's dark expression, she burst into tears.Clara sobbed as she tried to explain herself. "Warren, I didn't mean to set up Ms. Jefferson. When I found out about you and her, my emotions got the better of me. You know how I am when my condition flares up. And then, when I realized what I'd done, I panicked."She pleaded, "I didn't want you to find out and leave me, so I tried to erase the video. Please, Warren, don't be angry. It's just because I care about you so much. I just couldn't bear to see you with her."Lindsey hurried over to comfort her. "Clara, please stop crying. It'll only worsen your condition. And Warren, you and Clara have a long history. She has always considered you hers. Seeing you with someone else really affected her. Please, go easy on her."Warren lit a cigarette and asked indiffe
