The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 448

Evelyn glanced at Adam, noticing how his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. She tried to act as if everything was perfectly fine, but her own eyes were welling up with tears.

Unable to keep them at bay, she turned her head, quickly wiping away the tears before they had a chance to fall.

"Yeah, I get it. You're the toughest guy around, nothing can bring you down! Adam, you're the best!"

Evelyn didn't want to disappoint Adam. She played along with his bravado, pretending that everything was okay, and that she wasn't hurting inside.

"You bet!" Adam replied, raising an eyebrow, trying to seem unfazed. But the heavy atmosphere in the hospital room lingered, refusing to lift.

The tension broke when Adam's teammate came in with a police officer, mentioning they needed to take Adam's statement.

After making sure Adam was okay to talk, the officer briefly explained what had happened and updated Adam on the investigation's progress.

"At first, we thought it was just a regular traffic accident, but we found evidence from a dashcam across the street that changed things."

"The driver wasn't drunk beforehand. He only started drinking after you showed up."

"But he hit you on purpose. It wasn't the accidental drunk driving he claimed it to be."

"However, he's sticking to his story, insisting it was an accident and that he has no grudge against you."
