The Day Our Promise Breaks

Her movements were lightning-fast, and Dahlia was caught off guard and was struck square in her face. Her expression changed in an instant.

Without Charles around, Dahlia's face twisted in rage, and she raised her hand to strike back.

But Evelyn caught her hand mid-air, threw her off with force, and coldly warned her, "Dahlia, instead of troubling me, you'd better take care of Charles and keep him from harassing me again!" Then, she turned and walked away.

...

After finishing the discharge procedures, Evelyn headed towards the elevator. She passed the nurse's station, where two nurses were whispering about the latest gossip.

Avery had just witnessed the scene between Evelyn and Dahlia and came back to vent to Beatrice, "I was wondering why someone could be so heartless. It turns out it's a love rival situation." "What?" Beatrice, who was tidying up, casually responded.

"Do you remember Charlie? That beautiful, cute, and well-behaved little girl."

Hearing the name, Evelyn stopped in her tracks.

Then Beatrice continued, "Of course, I remember. She was such a charming little girl." As she said so, her eyes reddened.

The nurses saw a lot of life and death in the hospital, but Charlie was too endearing.

Even though she was often hospitalized, her cute face was always filled with a joyful smile. She said she didn't want to worry her mom and was exceptionally thoughtful and understanding. During her stay, both doctors and nurses adored her. "Exactly, that was the girl. On the day she died, her mom was crying her heart out while Ms. Dahlia stood at the corner, smiling so happily. I still remember that smile to this day. It gives me chills just thinking about it." "Woah, she's so evil..."

"She has a daughter herself, who is also sick. Doesn't she fear retribution?"

Evelyn froze in place. The nurses' words struck her heart like thunder.

So, Dahlia had known about Charlie's death from that day!

She thought of how Dahlia had behaved around her recently, and clenched her fists.

"Evelyn, you can't do that to your hand."
