The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 587

"Mom, let Evelyn have something to eat first."

Brooks was the first to regain his composure after the sudden turn of events and stepped in to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, look at me! I'm so happy I forgot what I was supposed to do!" Wiona tapped her own forehead, laughing at herself.

"Eve, are you okay to get out of bed?"

"I'm fine."

As soon as Evelyn answered, Wiona hurried over to help her up.

"Careful."

Evelyn didn't actually need help, but she accepted Mrs. Robinson's kindness without protest.

She climbed out of bed and headed for the dining table. Brooks followed behind, carrying a tray of nutritious food. He set everything out on the table.

"Eve, try this. See if you like it. If it's not to your taste, just let Aunt Josephine know, and the kitchen will fix it."

"It's delicious, thank you, Aunt Josephine."

Evelyn's heart felt heavy, and she didn't really have an appetite, but she forced herself to eat a little so Mrs. Robinson wouldn't worry.

"Eve, is there anything you want to eat tomorrow? Aunt Josephine will have the kitchen make it for you."
