Semua Bab He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Evelyn’s POV:Ryan, Nathan, and I were childhood friends.Our parents were close.Or rather, now that I understood how adults worked, I knew it was more that my family, the Carters, and Nathan’s family, the Bennetts, had both given business favors to Ryan’s family, the Parkers.There had been no hierarchy between us as children.Even so, the difference in wealth had been obvious.Sophie must have felt that even more keenly when she entered our circle.“Actually…”I suddenly remembered something.“What is it?” Lucas asked.“I’m pretty sure that around the time we entered medical school, Ryan and Sophie went to a different university, right?”When I said that, Nathan asked, “What about it?”I remembered something I had vaguely felt back then, and a faint laugh slipped out of me.Right.How did I not notice?I smiled slightly as I spoke.“Because Sophie went to a different university, I didn’t know much about her life then. But now that I think about it, back then, Sophie

Evelyn’s POV:Grace’s diary made it painfully clear how Sophie had tempted her and dragged her down into the mud.It was like a debt spiral.She borrowed money at the casino, then used money from prostitution to pay it back, only to borrow even more from the casino because she still could not cover the payments.It was a swamp in every sense of the word.“That aroma diffuser was the prototype of Queen of Desire.”Nathan murmured the words.He must have been shocked too.The seed of malice had been planted in him that long ago.Slowly.Carefully.Surely.It had eaten away at Nathan over time, until it finally led to those cruel words five years ago.And then.As we kept scrolling through the diary, we finally reached it.The truth from seven years ago.A twisted vanity.And the truth from five years ago.When Nathan and I got married, Grace had been sent from the Bennett household to help at the apartment where Nathan and I lived.---Ms. Carter and Nathan got marrie

Evelyn’s POV:I never imagined Grace's involvement with me had gone this far.After Ryan died seven years ago, I had been made to ingest a drug called Replitol.I was already drowning in guilt because I had failed to save Ryan, and Sophie had mercilessly pushed me from behind, trying to send me straight into the abyss.Lucas scrolled through the diary.---Ms. Carter grows thinner and weaker by the day and stays shut inside her room.Nathan is sick of her too.Ms. Carter is also being attacked by the public.Everyone is making a huge fuss, saying Ryan’s death was medical malpractice.She’s carrying the responsibility for Ryan’s death all by herself.How stupid.Miss Dawson seems to have gotten closer to Nathan because of what happened, and thanks to that, she put in a word for me about my debt repayment.Maybe things will get a little easier now.---Now that I was thinking clearly, I understood that Ryan’s death had been caused by Sophie falsely reporting his allergies.

Sophie’s POV:But that couldn’t be helped.I was only the housekeeper’s daughter.Evelyn Carter, on the other hand, was the daughter of the Carter family.Even the food we grew up eating was different. Mine could never compare to hers.And then there was the unavoidable reality of genetics.Mrs. Carter had an excellent figure.She was tall and slender, but she still had a full chest and hips, while her waist was trim.Evelyn had inherited those traits perfectly, and her figure was beautiful too.My mother, Helen Dawson, was plain by comparison.She looked like any ordinary middle-aged woman.Her body had lost its shape with age, and there wasn’t a trace of beauty left in her.I had been lucky enough to have a pretty face, at least.But when it came to my body, I had unfortunately inherited that from my mother.The humiliation I felt when I looked down at my own chest.That humiliation got the better of me.Back then, I did something to Evelyn’s belongings.After everyo

Nathan’s POV:When he asked me that, I smiled.“Because I saw Evelyn again for the first time in five years. When Evelyn appeared in front of me as the genius doctor Dr. X, the facts I had accepted as normal until then started falling apart.”That feeling I had before the surgery, when I saw Evelyn standing before me and something inside me began to crumble.“Until then, for some reason, I had convinced myself that Evelyn was worthless. Even though we had worked together at St. Catherine, and I should have known exactly how capable she was.”As I spoke, I looked down at my hands.“The words Sophie whispered to me, words that weren’t true, made me believe that. Saying it like that makes it sound better, but I think deep down, I also had something like an inferiority complex toward Evelyn.”Evelyn had been an exceptional doctor.Even before she became a doctor.Even long before that.We had grown up together, so I had seen so many versions of her.Lucas smiled faintly in front
