The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 456

Evelyn couldn't hide her shock as she looked up at Charles.

"Eve, I'm telling the truth. I didn't lie to you. The moment another matching kidney was found, I switched it out so Sandy could have it," Charles said earnestly, meeting Evelyn's gaze. "I know what you and Adam are worried about. If there had been any other option, I would never have chosen Adam to donate his kidney to Sandy."

"It was never my intention to force him," Charles continued, trying to show Evelyn just how sincere he was. He hoped she would understand why he did what he did. From the start, he never wanted to use Adam's kidney. If he had, he wouldn't have bothered telling them, letting them decide for themselves. He had been searching for a suitable donor all along. But when Sandy's situation became critical, he felt he had no choice but to pressure Adam.

"The things I said in the hospital weren't true. I'd never harm you, and Adam is your close friend; I'd never really hurt him either," he admitted, knowing full well how Adam felt about Eve. Saying those things was the only way to get Adam to agree to sign the voluntary donation agreement.
