Chapter 526 Evan Called Evelina "Mom"

Evelina had lost count of how many times Evan had hurt himself, but it still broke her heart to see him in the bathtub, covered in blood again.

What kind of family and experiences had shattered this kid so completely?

"Doesn't it hurt? Or do you just want to make yourself hurt?" she asked.

Evelina walked into the bathroom, not leaving, not avoiding, and not calling Elbert. She grabbed a small stool and sat by the tub.

Evan was in light gray pajamas, now stained red with blood. His face was pale, hands trembling, still clutching a piece of broken glass. He kept cutting his wrist, his whole body shaking. "I'm sorry, Auntie, I can't control myself."

Evelina's eyes filled with tears. She knew Evan didn't really want to die; it was just self- harm. Maybe he felt he hadn't suffered enough compared to Jasmine, so he didn't dare to die.

"You don't have to apologize to me," Evelina said, taking the glass from his hand. "You're hurting yourself."

Evan's body shook, his eyes red. He looked down, unsure what to say. "I'm still sorry. I promised to be a good family member for three months, and it's not even a month and a half, and I've already worn you all out."

Evan could see Alex was exhausted, trying to make up for the fatherly love Evan had missed. But childhood trauma and a broken family couldn't be fixed in a few months.

Evan had severe depression and anxiety, feeling guilty about Jasmine. Elbert revealed Evan had been ill since childhood, stemming from an unhappy family, discovering he wasn't Benjamin's biological son, and his fear of loss. He had always been unhealthy in body, soul, and personality.

"Evan, it's not your fault. If you were born into a complete family, if you were Alex and my son, you would have had a different life," Evelina said hoarsely.

She often wished she had known about Evan earlier. Even if Alex opposed, she would have brought Evan into the Everhart family.Karen was unfit to be a mother. She would have given Evan a complete and loving upbringing.

Evan looked at Evelina, his gaze wandering, seemingly also fantasizing.
