The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 541

Charles left Rosa's graveyard, ready to find Evelyn and tell her that Dahlia had been arrested.

Just as he stepped out of the cemetery gates, his phone rang. It was Andrew.

"Charles, Dahlia was just rushed into the ER. She's in critical condition."

Dahlia had been taken into custody, but on the way to the hospital for treatment of her wounds, she suddenly went into hypovolemic shock. She was sent straight to Andrew's private hospital for emergency care.

"Do whatever it takes. Save her, no matter what."

As soon as Charles heard how serious Dahlia's condition was, his expression darkened.

"I understand, Charles. I'll contact the specialist team right away and have them start emergency treatment for Dahlia," Andrew replied.

But his call wasn't just to inform Charles-it was to test the waters. Did Charles want him to pull strings, to bring in the best doctors and try every possible measure to save Dahlia?

Now, having gotten Charles's answer, Andrew was ready to hang up and reach out to the elite medical team Charles had once assembled specifically for Josephine's surgery.

He turned and there was Evelyn, standing just two steps behind him.

She was close enough that Andrew was certain she'd overheard his entire conversation with Charles.

Andrew's heart skipped a beat. "Ms. Evelyn..."
