The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 245

Hearing Charles try to protect the person responsible for Charlie's death right at Charlie's grave, Evelyn suddenly broke down, screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Charles, get out of here, as far away as possible!"

Her heart was filled with rage, yet she felt utterly powerless, drowning in despair. Seeing Evelyn cornered and emotionally shattered, Charles couldn't bear to leave her alone. He held Evelyn tightly in his arms, letting her struggle against him, refusing to let go.

He turned to Dahlia, who was standing behind him, his voice heavy with disapproval. "Dahlia, just go home."

He regretted ever giving in. "Charles..." Dahlia wasn't done stirring the pot and had no intention of leaving. But the look Charles gave her was one of silent reprimand, making it clear she had crossed a line. She shouldn't have ignored him and shown up here uninvited, causing such a scene and disturbing the peace.

Fuming but hiding it well, Dahlia put on a pitiful expression and said softly, "Alright, I'll head back home. Charles, you also need to look after yourself. The doctor said you need proper rest for your legs and head, or there could be lasting effects."

"Mhm," Charles responded, barely acknowledging her concern. His mind was solely on Evelyn.
