True Love Waits

Carlos was relieved when he saw his daughter had recovered. He stroked her hair and asked, "Hi Eve, everything go well in America?"

The Huo family had moved from New York to Y City more than ten years ago. There were no relatives in New York anymore.

"Yeah. Hey, Dad, can I ask you something?" When Evelyn looked him in the eye, the expression in his eyes changed. Carlos sat down on the couch and smiled, "Go ahead." "His leg..."

"I had someone do it," he said calmly.

"Why?" Evelyn was upset.

The smile on Carlos' face vanished. He looked at his daughter, who had lost control of her emotions.

Realizing how agitated she was, Evelyn took a deep breath to collect herself. "You promised you wouldn't do anything to him."

"I only promised you I wouldn't kill him!" 'The bastard wanted to get away without paying the price for what he had done to my daughter? He must be high!' Carlos sulked, fury in his eyes.

Evelyn was rendered speechless. Finally, she said, "Okay. Dad, you can go to bed early, if you want. I need to unpack." Her father already figured out who the guy was. She knew that if she continued to argue with her father, the proud man would have Sheffield killed.

Carlos nodded. "He's just a doctor. He isn't right for you. Nor is Calvert. But you must be jet lagged. Get some rest. I fixed you up with a blind date. You can see him when you get some time."

Sheffield's position as a doctor wasn't why Carlos didn't want his daughter dating him. He was a known womanizer, and he was pretty tight with the dean's daughter.

"Okay, Dad. I'll go on the blind date," Evelyn replied flatly.
