The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 254

Chapter 254

Evelyn was overwhelmed with grief and anger thinking about how young Charlie had been when she passed away. Her eyes were red with tears as she confronted Charles.

"Charles, Charlie went through so much pain with her illness. I finally found a kidney donor, and she was so close to being healthy again..." she said, her voice breaking. "But then Dahlia, that horrible woman, robbed my Charlie of her second chance at life. Doesn't she deserve to pay for what she did to Charlie?"

Charles stood there, stunned, unable to respond. A deep fear gnawed at him, worried that the kidney he helped Dahlia get might have been meant for Charlie. His silence only made Evelyn feel like he didn't believe her.

Evelyn clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She took a deep breath, trying to keep her anger in check.

"Charles, maybe you don't trust me or Granny, but can't you at least think for yourself?" she pressed on. "Whether Dahlia really had a hand in Charlie's death, whether I'm wrong about her, wouldn't you find out if you just looked into it?"

"You refuse to investigate and blindly defend her. Are you even using your brain?" she added, frustration evident in her voice.

Charles tried to speak, but the words just wouldn't come out. Evelyn grabbed the front of his shirt, her tear-swollen eyes pleading with him.

"Charles, if you truly feel sorry for Charlie, if you really want to make it up to her, then go and find out the truth!" she urged. "Let Charlie and Granny rest in peace."
