The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 307

But who would have thought that when she shared her suspicions, Brooks would actually believe her and even offer to help dig into Dahlia and Wesley's history? Turns out, there wasn't much of a history to speak of.

Evelyn was starting to think she might have been overanalyzing things, but Brooks wasn't ready to throw in the towel. Eventually, they uncovered a tiny piece of the puzzle: Wesley once worked as an orderly at the hospital where Dahlia's adoptive father was a patient. He actually took care of him. So, they did know each other.

Brooks tracked down a nurse from that hospital who remembered Wesley. Although Wesley didn't have much cash, he was definitely easy on the eyes and in pretty good shape. With all the time they spent together, the nurse and Wesley almost became a thing. But then Wesley got his eye on someone else—a patient's underage daughter, none other than Dahlia. Because of this, Wesley gave that patient extra attention.

Eventually, the patient passed away, and Wesley quit his job. Their connection seemed to end there. Yet, this only made Evelyn more certain of her gut feeling. Dahlia had to be the one pulling the strings behind her car accident.

As for her grandmother's death, Evelyn had no proof to pin it on Dahlia. And even if Dahlia was behind the malicious plot to snatch Charlie's kidney donation, it wouldn't be enough to hold her accountable in court. The accident from two years ago was the only lead she had. If her theory was right, Dahlia was indeed involved.
