Chapter 422

"Slap-"

Evelyn glared at Charles, who was still defending Dahlia with unwavering loyalty. Fueled by anger, she swung her hand and slapped him hard, cutting off his words mid-sentence.

Her chest rose and fell with emotion. How could he not see the truth? The nurse had laid everything out plainly, yet he continued to stand by Dahlia, this cruel woman! Two years ago, Dahlia was behind Charlie's death, and Charles had blindly defended her. Now, she had nearly killed Evelyn's mother, leaving her in a coma, and he was still on her side!

To Charles, Charlie's and her mother's lives were insignificant, only Dahlia's life seemed to matter. Thinking of Charlie, who couldn't rest in peace, and her mother, lying unconscious, made Evelyn's blood boil. One slap wasn't enough to quell her fury. With eyes blazing, she raised her hand to strike Charles again.

Charles's brow furrowed. He quickly reached out and caught her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. "Eve, take a breath."

"Take a breath? Charles, Dahlia was the reason Charlie died and now my mom's in a vegetative state, and you're telling me to cool down? My mom must've been out of her mind to save someone as ungrateful as you!"

She had saved him, only for him to shield the one who had caused her so much pain. Hearing Evelyn's words, Charles was momentarily stunned. Evelyn seized the moment, reversing their positions and landing another slap.
