The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 413

"Dahlia isn't Debbie, you've got the wrong person!"

As Josephine spoke, a nurse nearby lost her balance and accidentally knocked over a bedside lamp. The lamp crashed to the ground with a loud thud, completely drowning out Josephine's already weak voice. The nurse apologized over and over, quickly crouching down to pick it up. This little mishap went unnoticed by everyone around.

Standing at the door, Charles missed what Josephine said. He was about to ask when Dahlia, anxious that Josephine might spill more secrets, quickly distracted him. She clutched Charles' hand tightly. "Charles, Ms. Josephine's surgery went well. She can wait, but Sandy can't."

"Sandy's in real danger right now. Whatever you need to discuss, it can wait. Please, go check on Sandy, alright?"

Tears streamed down Dahlia's face as she pleaded, desperate to get Charles away. If she could just lead him out, she could use Sandy as an excuse and then figure out her next move.

Charles knew she was right. Priorities were important. His aunt's surgery was successful, and she was no longer in immediate danger. There would be plenty of time to hear her out later, but Sandy's situation was uncertain.

"Auntie, please rest and recover. We'll talk more once you're feeling better." With that, Charles quickly left with Dahlia.

Josephine wanted to call Charles back, but he was already too far gone. She was fuming, her face flushed with anger. Dahlia had clearly done this on purpose.
