The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 609

"That's not true. You're lying. You love children-you'd never have the heart to go through with this!"

Charles just couldn't believe it.

He refused to accept that Evelyn could be so ruthless.

She had to be making this up.

...

Just then, the doctor who'd performed Evelyn's surgery stepped out of the operating room.

He spotted Evelyn and started walking over, probably to remind her to take it easy.

But Charles intercepted him, gripping the doctor's shoulder.

"Tell me the truth-Eve didn't actually have the abortion, did she? My baby is still alive, right?"

Seeing Charles suddenly lose it and interrogate the doctor, Evelyn clung tighter to Adam's arm without even realizing it.

Adam gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, silently telling her it was okay, she could relax.

Then Adam stepped between Charles and the doctor, his voice ice-cold. "Charles, let go. Harassing the staff and lying to yourself-what good does that do anyone?"

But Charles wouldn't back down.

He stared the doctor down, desperate for any scrap of hope.

"Mr. Jenkins, I'm sorry," the doctor said quietly, "but by the time the director called, the procedure was already underway."
