Forbidden Passion

Chapter 810 Why Aren't You Happy

The ward fell into a deathly silence. Electra stood nearby and glanced back at Harper, who had been standing at the door.

In a lowered voice, she said, "Ms. Ziegler, Mr. Ziegler has been standing at the door. Should I ask him to leave?"

Phoebe was silent for a moment, then looked up towards the door, meeting Harper's gaze. A myriad of emotions flickered across her face.

This situation had also hit her hard. She hadn't decided how to deal with Harper yet. After a while, she nodded, "Okay."

Just as Electra was about to leave, Diana, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Ms. Ziegler, Mr. Ziegler has been looking for you all. He never intended to abandon you. Can you give him a chance, at least don't be so quick to shut him out?"

Phoebe looked up at Diana, "Sorry, but until my mom wakes up, I don't want to say a word to Mr. Ziegler. Please take him away, or I'll have to call security."

"Why?" Diana was furious.

From the door, Harper's gentle voice sounded, "Diana, don't disturb Evelyn's rest. We... we'll come back another day."

Diana stormed out in her high heels.

Phoebe sat down by the bedside. Hearing the footsteps fade away, she wiped her face hard and stared at Evelyn on the bed.

Electra saw her expression and didn't know how to comfort her, so she quietly left.

The ward fell silent again. Phoebe sat there motionless as the sky outside gradually darkened.

Her mind was in turmoil, thinking about many things, yet seemingly thinking about nothing. When she first heard Harper's story, she thought his experiences were legendary.

Now, it turned out her mom Evelyn was the protagonist of that legend. She felt both absurd and reasonable, not knowing whether to be grateful her father was still alive or to resent him for never coming back to find them.

As night fell, the ward remained unlit, pitch dark.
