Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 117 117: Help me to sleep

Even though it was pouring outside, Eveline was engrossed in the scenery right away. Like the rain, she felt the stains of her past deeply engraved in her heart, just as her life flowed like water.

The sight was both beautiful and painful because it brought back intense memories of something very personal to her.

Standing by the window frame, Eveline smiled with misty eyes and said, "I remember how much you liked rain, baby." Her hand reflexively touched her flat abdomen, reminiscing about her unborn child.

Eveline would always be in despair, wondering what her life would have been like if she hadn't died. Will she be able to live with her child and divorce Gabriel, or will she continue to play dumb and live with him and his mistress under the same roof?

She was pathetic back then, thinking that knowing about their baby would finally give Gabriel peace of mind and let him accept her for his own sake.

She realized it was impossible to reclaim what she had lost, and her life would continue without any possibility of ever having the kid again.

For her, it was a fruitful dream born out of her love for Gabriel, but it would never come true.

The child she kept talking to became a beautiful memory that she wished to treasure even after she died.

Eveline had previously given Gabriel permission to court her, but the doubt remains. Though she knew this existence was vastly different from her previous one, with everything now coming to light and no longer hidden, there were still some unanswered questions.

She knew Tiffany was the one who poisoned Gabriel's mind against her, but that wasn't the whole truth. The voice she was hearing out of nowhere seemed distant but familiar, which inhibited her from truly embracing reality.

Eveline took a deep breath, pushed away all of her heavy thoughts, and tried to call Stefan again, but his phone was turned off this time, putting a stop to her curiosity.

After he recovered the video from Lilith's phone, it was revealed that Alex was the one who coerced her to change the outcome, but the rest of what they discovered left her speechless.

Dr. Lilith and Alex's father, Henry, were having a covert affair, and the photographs on her phone were living proof. However, it was unclear if Alex was aware of it or simply intimidated her for fear of being exposed.

"Everything is becoming messier. If Alex was unaware of his father's involvement with his doctor, why would he suddenly cease visiting her? Perhaps there was something else that prevented him from attending the session," she pondered.

It is safe to assume that Alex knew this secret because of the conversation she had in the coffee shop, which revealed details about his relationship with his family.

As strange as it may sound, he appears to have developed a deep-rooted case of this syndrome as a result of his surroundings, which he ultimately found comfort in.

"It makes sense why his parents appear to be in such harmony at all business functions." Eveline scoffed at the thought of how influential families try to conceal the reality of their relationship behind a facade.
