The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 322

She wanted to lash out, call him something worse than a beast. But just as she started to speak, she ran out of breath.

Evelyn cried out in a panic, "Doctor, please check on my mom!" She quickly caught Andrew's attention, who had just turned to enter the emergency room.

Andrew immediately turned back, his expression shifting. Josephine, who had just come out of the emergency room, was rushed back in.

As the doors swung shut in front of her, Evelyn whipped around to face Charles, her gaze fierce as she spat out, "Leave!"

Charles realized something was seriously wrong.

Instead of insisting on staying, he simply said, "Call me anytime if you need anything." Then he left.

Evelyn didn't reply, just kept staring at him with a mix of coldness and hatred. Only when he was out of sight did she let herself relax a bit.

Brooks wrapped an arm around Evelyn's shoulders, gently comforting her.
