The man didn't give Evan a chance to respond. Instead, he turned directly to the security guards."Please escort these three people out. They have nothing to do with the funeral."The guards walked over to Evan and Sylvia and gestured toward the exit.Evan's expression darkened.After years as a respected doctor and now the hospital's medical director, he was used to being treated with deference. No one had ever tried to throw him out like this.Sylvia went pale with fright. She picked up Seven and tugged nervously at Evan's sleeve."Evan..."Evan stepped in front of her protectively."This is between Roxie and me. It has nothing to do with an outsider like you."The man's expression didn't change."Mr. Shaw, if you'd like to make this a bigger issue, I'd be happy to call the police."Roxie spoke coldly from beside him."There is no 'between us.' Get out."Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Evan finally fell silent."Take some time to calm down, Roxie. I'll come back and talk to you later

Evan stared at the words "Settlement Agreement" on the document, his chest tightening as though an invisible hand had closed around his heart.Roxie's voice was completely emotionless. "Of the money in our savings account, $55,000 was mine. You bought the house, but I paid for all the renovations, which came to about $40,000. Everything else is laid out clearly in the agreement."With that, she picked up her bag and left.Evan looked down at the agreement and found the entire situation absurd.Not long ago, they had been preparing to get married. He had already planned out their entire life together.How had they ended up here?...Two days later, Evan received a package containing a formal notice from an attorney.Roxie was suing him.He couldn't believe that Roxie, who had loved him so deeply, was actually taking him to court.He sat there stunned for a long time before finally putting the letter down and getting up to find her.He asked Roxie to meet him at the Thai restaurant she h

Ever since Roxie moved all her things out, Evan had dreaded going home.Instead, he threw himself into work. Only by keeping himself so busy that his mind had no time to wander could he stop himself from thinking about her.For the first time, the home he had lived in for so many years felt frighteningly unfamiliar. Without Roxie, the house was so quiet and empty that he could almost hear his own heartbeat.He kept remembering the sight of her bustling around the kitchen, making a pot of soothing soup and waiting for him to come home late after surgery. He always had a cup of hot tea waiting for him in his study, and every morning she laid out the clothes he would wear. The house was filled with the scents he liked, and there were always fresh flowers in the vase.All those little things he had once taken for granted now felt like thorns lodged in his chest.A sharp cramp twisted through his stomach. He almost called Roxie's name out of habit, only to swallow it back.He decided to ma

William's words hammered into Evan, one crushing blow after another.Every eye in the conference room was fixed on him, some searching, some doubtful, others openly contemptuous. The professionalism and principles he had always taken such pride in had become a colossal joke.Evan opened his mouth, but he had no idea how to explain himself.What was he supposed to say? That Sylvia had merely complained of chest pain? That he had been so worried about her that he insisted on pulling Dr. Chandler away to examine her?If he admitted that in front of everyone, he would become a laughingstock throughout the medical community.Seeing that Evan had nothing to say, William sneered and pressed harder."What is it, Dr. Shaw? Cat got your tongue? Or is there something about Ms. Young's condition that you don't want exposed?"I recommend that the hospital immediately open a formal investigation, with me leading the review. Ms. Young should undergo another comprehensive examination so we can determi

Shock slammed through Evan, wiping his mind clean.Back then, Sylvia had handed him a stack of documents and told him they were personal guaranty forms for the project. He had never imagined that the sweet, innocent girl he trusted would deceive him, so he hadn't bothered reading them carefully.He never expected that she had already been setting a trap for him even then, one designed to drag him down with her.Evan slowly raised his head. His once calm, steady eyes now blazed with fury, yet held a coldness that cut to the bone.He felt like the biggest tool in the world.For this woman, he had abandoned every principle he claimed to live by. He had hurt Roxie again and again and had indirectly caused her mother's death.Because of this woman, he had lost everything he treasured most in his life, only to discover that the woman he had sacrificed it all for was this vicious and calculating."Get out."Sylvia's smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered her smug composure."
