The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 401

After Dahlia snagged the locket back, Josephine was barely hanging on. She

tucked the locket away and turned her attention to Josephine, planning to call for help only after she had passed. But then, out of nowhere, footsteps echoed from above. Someone was heading their way.

Dahlia quickly ditched her original plan, her expression shifting as she cried out for help, "Help! Is anyone there? Please, someone save her!" Her cries caught the attention of a passerby who rushed over, spurred by the urgency in her voice. As they approached, Dahlia broke down, tears streaming down her face, pleading, "Please, call someone to save her."

With Josephine rescued and Dahlia helped into a wheelchair (she'd gotten herself banged up too), they were wheeled into the hospital. There, they bumped into Charles, who was sneaking in to check on Josephine.

"Charles, you need to call Andrew. He should come and look at her. She just collapsed and took a tumble down the stairs. I tried to catch her, but I couldn't," Dahlia explained, her voice laced with urgency.

Following her gaze, Charles spotted Josephine. His expression shifted instantly, and he didn't waste a second before ringing Andrew. Luckily, Andrew lived nearby and dashed over as soon as he got the call.

Josephine was whisked away to the ER, and Dahlia was floored by what she overheard from Charles's call. "Is she Evelyn's mom?" she asked, stunned.

Charles didn't answer right away, instead, he fixed Dahlia with an inquisitive look, asking, "Dahlia, what are you doing here?"

Ignoring the undertone of his question, Dahlia replied without missing a beat, "Evelyn just can't let go of Charlie's death, and she's always coming after me."
