Chapter 81

Evelyn’s perspectiveWe must have been waiting for a while in the car, because Nate’s jacket was draped over me and it was ten minutes past my appointment time.Nate must have parked and waited for me to wake up.“I'm sorry.” I pulled the jacket off me.I felt a little embarrassed, but Nate didn't seem to mind.“It's okay. You've had difficulty resting lately. So, it's good that you could get some sleep on the ride over.”He smiled and glanced at the jacket in my hand. I had intended to return it to him, but he simply draped it over my shoulders again.“It's getting windy outside. You should keep it on.”“Actually...”I wanted to say I wasn't cold, but he didn't give me a chance to reply. He opened the door and got out of the car. I shook my head and accepted his kindness.We went inside the building. It was very spacious, with a tasteful but subdued decor. When we entered, I realized it was originally a standalone villa that had been converted into a psychiatric counseling clinic.“H

Evelyn’s perspectiveTime flew by, and before I knew it, a month had passed.Today was my last day of psychiatric therapy and my boyfriend, Nate, was taking me out tonight, to celebrate.That's right, my boyfriend. We're together now, and I'm surprised too, but it's the truth.Over the past month, Nate has been by my side almost every day, and the staff at the clinic became quite familiar with him.At work, my colleagues started referring to Nate as my boyfriend. They noticed him regularly calling me, picking me up after work, and socialising.At first, I would explain that he wasn’t, but after a while, I just stopped bothering. I thought it was just an easy misunderstanding, but unexpectedly, we began to grow closer.Perhaps these misunderstandings brought us together, but I don't mind. I've accepted him, and I think it's time for me to start a new life.“Evelyn?”Nate was dressed very formally today. He waved at me. I smiled and went over to give him a hug.We had only confirmed ou

Nate's perspective.“Alright, Nate, I'll wait outside.”Evelyn thoughtfully left us alone. I sat down.Nicholas was still standing beside the table. I raised my eyebrows, gesturing for him to sit down, but he grabbed my collar instead.He was furious. I could see hatred in his eyes.“Why did you lie to her?” he demanded in a low growl. He was gritting his teeth, and his face was reddened with anger.I felt confused. “Lie? What did I lie about?”Nicholas snarled, “Why did you lie to her about being with her? Nate, you were the one who caused the accident and hid her, weren’t you? Why did you do that! Was it because you wanted to keep her? But she’s not an object you can own — she’s a person!”Nicholas grew more and more agitated. He raised his fist and punched me, but I didn't retaliate. I frowned at him and glanced worriedly toward the door.Evelyn was over at the restaurant entrance, she appeared to be on the phone. Confirming she wasn't paying attention to us, I dragged Nicholas int

Evelyn's perspective.I couldn't believe it — Nate had actually attacked his cousin. I had no idea what had happened; my first reaction was to call an ambulance.Nicholas was unconscious and losing blood fast. He was quickly taken to the hospital and rushed into surgery. I stood outside the operating room, tears streaming down my face.I didn't know why I was crying. I couldn't control myself. One minute, ten minutes, an hour passed.The light in the operating room remained on. A nurse came out, and I rushed over to ask about his condition.“H-how is he doing? Can they save him?”“The patient’s condition is not good. You need to prepare for the worst,” she said with a sigh.The nurse left me there. I stumbled back, feeling as though I had been struck by lightning.What does ‘the worst’ mean? Is he going to die?No, he can’t! How could that be possible?I couldn't accept it. I kept telling myself he would be okay. Maybe due to the stress, I started getting a headache again.The pain wa
