The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 454

Charles looked at Evelyn with a mix of emotions, his voice softening as he gently promised, "Eve, please don't be upset. I've sorted everything out. The surgery will be safe, and Adam will be fine."

"After the surgery, I'll make it up to him-financially, professionally, whatever it takes. I won't let him donate a kidney for nothing."

"Charles, enough with the chatter. No matter what you say, Adam won't agree to donate. Get out, now!" Evelyn's chest rose and fell with anger as she glared at Charles, pointing toward the door, making it clear he needed to leave.

When Charles didn't budge, Evelyn pushed him and kicked at him. "I said, get out! Didn't you hear me?"

"Eve, calm down. This is a matter of life and death. Can't we put aside our differences for now? Sandy's in a critical state, waiting for Adam's kidney to save her life. We can't waste any more time!"

Charles was frantic, knowing that every second of delay added to Sandy's risk.

"And why does her life matter to us? I've already said-if Sandy's in trouble, it's karma for all the wrongs Dahlia has done! Get out, do you hear?" Unable to shove Charles out, Evelyn grabbed whatever was on the bedside table and threw it at him.

Charles had hoped to reason with Evelyn, but seeing her so upset and knowing time was running out for Sandy, he dodged the flying objects, his tone becoming more serious.

"Eve, it's not up to you anymore. Before you got here, Adam had signed the voluntary donation agreement."

Charles's words hit Evelyn like a bolt of lightning, her eyes widening as she noticed the familiar document in Charles's hand.

She quickly turned to Adam. Had he really signed it?

Adam's gaze at Evelyn was full of mixed emotions-apology, pain, reluctance, and helplessness.

Signing the agreement was a tormenting choice for him, aware that donating a kidney to Sandy was a psychological blow to Evelyn.

But not signing meant he couldn't trust Charles's character.
