บททั้งหมดของ Our Encounter Was Destiny—The Wrong One: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Tiana and Owen had no idea where Evelyn had gone, but it was obvious this was an opportunity. Maybe Evelyn had even handed it to them on purpose. She must have taken Tiana's words that day to heart."Mom!" Zoe's cheeks flushed as she ducked her head, looking shy and flustered."How could I possibly stand in for Evelyn? Today is her wedding to Daniel. I just want to give them my blessing from the sidelines. Getting to see Daniel happy before I die is already enough for me."Tiana's heart ached even more. "Daniel, this ceremony doesn't have any legal effect anyway. Since Evelyn just happens to be missing, why not help Zoe fulfill her last wish? She may never get another chance in her life to wear a wedding gown."Zoe pretended to hesitate, but Daniel agreed right away, "Alright."If Evelyn insisted on hiding from him, then he'd let her see for herself how stupid that choice was. Once Evelyn found out he was marrying Zoe, he didn't believe she could keep hiding.For Zoe, it was an u

Daniel and Noah rushed to the Wynn residence and saw only Zoe on the rooftop, sobbing nonstop. Her body swayed in the wind, like she might topple over at any moment.Owen and Tiana clutched at Daniel's sleeves, their eyes red and swollen with tears."Daniel, you have to talk to Zoe," Tiana pleaded. "You can't let her do something stupid!""What happened?" Daniel asked, his voice tight.Tiana's face twisted with resentment. "It's all because of Evelyn! She suddenly sent a letter, accusing Zoe of breaking up her marriage. She exposed everything at the wedding in front of everyone. Now, Zoe's so mortified she says she'd rather jump than stay here!"Owen cursed under his breath, "If Evelyn dares show her face, I'll beat her half to death! Zoe is her own sister! How can she be this vicious?"Daniel's breathing hitched. "Evelyn sent a letter? Where is she?""She didn't show up," Tiana replied."Where is the letter?" he asked.Tiana hesitated. "Zoe tore it up. Who'd want to read that

When Daniel opened his eyes again, it was already the next day. He tore out the IV, ignored the fresh blood running down his arm, threw on his suit, and walked out.By the time he reached the police station, his face was drained of color. "I need to file a report. My wife is missing."The officers followed the procedure and asked for details. After listening to his explanation of how Evelyn had disappeared, their expressions turned a little strange."She's been missing for half a month, and you're only filing a report now? Why didn't you report it earlier?"Daniel's hand, which was pressed against his chest, trembled slightly. His face went even paler.The officer finally looked away, his tone turning cold. "We'll do our best to find her. If you hear anything, contact us immediately."Daniel walked out of the station and headed home. He hadn't expected to find Owen, Tiana, and Zoe already there.As soon as he stepped inside, Noah jumped down from the couch. "Dad! Where did you g

Daniel didn't give up searching for Evelyn.He dropped to his knees in front of a camera and recorded himself begging for her forgiveness. That video spread across the world. Some people online admired him for being so devoted. Some said he was just a scumbag putting on an act. Others cursed him outright.He didn't care about any of it. All he cared about was whether Evelyn would see it and whether she would forgive him.At night, whenever Daniel thought about how little time she had left, he would picture her curled up somewhere, writhing in pain from late-stage stomach cancer.The thought jolted him awake. And once he sat up in bed, he could no longer fall back asleep.Day by day, as each page was torn off the calendar, that nameless fear spread slowly through his chest until it felt like something was crushing him, leaving him short of breath.Zoe still came by every now and then. She kept insisting she had not known about Evelyn's cancer, but to Daniel, that no longer mattere

Owen and Tiana were stunned into silence by the question.Zoe's gaze darted away, and she suddenly clutched her chest. "It hurts... Dad, Mom, hurry and take me to the hospital! My stomach is killing me again!""You wanna go to the hospital so they can expose your fake cancer?" Daniel asked.Tiana shot to her feet. "Daniel, you can say anything you want, but you can't joke about this! We all know Zoe has stomach cancer!"Zoe's voice shook as she choked up. "Daniel, are you losing it? Are you hearing things now? Why would I ever fake having cancer?"Daniel took out his phone and played the recording of Zoe's earlier call for everyone to hear. In it, she clearly admitted she was faking the cancer and had planned Evelyn's kidnapping.Owen and Tiana were completely shaken. Tiana almost passed out on the spot."What have we done..." she cried. She slapped her thigh and sobbed until she was almost out of breath, like she wanted to smash her head into the wall and end it all.The pain
