The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 438

When Evelyn showed up, Brooks couldn't resist stepping forward and wrapping her in a warm embrace.

"Evelyn, when I come back, could you give me a chance?" he asked, hope lacing his voice.

Was there room for him in her heart too?

"You don't have to answer me right now. Take this week to think it over, and when

I return next week, let me know your decision, okay?"

Brooks wasn't about to pressure her.

The boarding announcement echoed through the airport, urging passengers to start boarding. Brooks held her a bit tighter, reluctant to let go, but eventually, he did.

Evelyn watched as Brooks walked away, glancing back every few steps until he vanished from sight. Only then did she turn to leave.

On the drive back, she picked up Adam and accompanied him to the donor center to sign the voluntary donation agreement.

At the center, the staff greeted them warmly and showed them in.

Once seated, they handed the agreement to Adam. "Adam, please take a look."

Adam took the document, reviewing it with Evelyn by his side.

Before he signed, Evelyn paused to remind him, "Adam, once you sign this agreement, the hospital will start prepping for the recipient's surgery."
