Warren gripped his phone so tightly that his fingers turned white. His eyes turned bloodshot as he rewatched the video over and over with a dark gaze.Every time he saw Evelyn's furious eyes and heard her voice dripping with hatred, he felt countless needles pierce his heart. The stinging pain made it hard for him to even breathe.Ethan rolled his eyes with disdain. "I told you to not be overly arrogant and to watch your words. But you refused to listen. Now you've shot yourself in the foot, haven't you? "Seth's background is not inferior to yours, nor is he less capable than you. Most importantly, he loves Evelyn, unlike you, you bastard. You've always treated her as a pet. No wonder she dumped you!"Ezra added, "You were the one who didn't want to make things official with her. Now that she left you, you're the one clinging on to her. Do you really think this is love? "In truth, you just need her. Since you don't love her, you should let go of her as soon as possible. Don't ho
Ten minutes later, Ezra got even more anxious. "He's been soaking in the cold bath forever, but why hasn't his situation improved? Have you found someone who can check his condition?""He's on his way, but the traffic is horrible. Get all the ice from the freezer and toss it in.""His stomach condition is acting up. If we add even more ice, he'll freeze to death.""Do we have any other choices? We have to do what we can."As they were panicking, the door opened. Gloria walked in with Clara in tow. When she saw Warren in the ice bath, she said sternly, "Are you trying to kill him? No one can simply recover from being drugged with something like this. These foolish methods are completely useless. Clara, go help him."Clara immediately entered the bathroom to grab Warren's hand. Sobbing, she said, "Warren, you'll die if you don't do anything. I can help you."Although Warren was barely conscious, he could still recognize Clara's voice. Once again, the words Clara said to Evelyn
Ethan frowned. "But I heard you saved someone in the past before. Why can't you do it again?""That time, after the woman was drugged, she recovered on her own. She was only brought to me after she lost a lot of blood, so the effects of the drugs had already been weakened. You should know her too. You asked me to perform a heart valve surgery on her father."When Ethan heard that, his eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you talking about Evelyn?""Yes, that's her. It was Mr. Yarrow who brought her to me. She was in bad shape and had lost a lot of blood. Nonetheless, it was the first time I'd seen a woman recover from the effects of this kind of drug on her own."When everyone else heard this, they fell silent. Their eyes fell on Warren.Still half-unconscious, Warren slowly opened his eyes. The light was gone from his gaze; there was only suffering and misery in his eyes.Leonard's words kept repeating in his head.When Evelyn had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, she hadn't used Se
The dial tone echoed for a long time before someone answered. Then, Evelyn's distant voice sounded through the phone. "What's the matter, Mr. Larkin?"Warren forced himself to perk up and say, "Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice."Evelyn frowned. "Do you think this is funny, Mr. Larkin? You're the one who said you got bored of me, but now, you're the one who keeps clinging to me. What about me is making it hard for you to let go? I'll change, alright?"Her tone was cool and had a tinge of impatience.Warren shut his eyes in pain. He grabbed a fistful of his hair tightly to keep himself conscious. "Evelyn, you must have suffered a lot that night, right?"His breaths were shallow, and he had to pause numerous times while speaking that simple sentence.Every word was dripping with undisguised hurt.Evelyn laughed self-deprecatingly. "Mr. Larkin, you don't need to keep reminding me that I'm already dirty. I already know. I won't have any inappropriate feelings toward you anym
Evelyn frowned helplessly. She said quietly, "Mrs. Larkin Senior, I'm sorry, but I can't help you here. I'm not being cruel, but there are others who can save him. You don't need me, so there's no need for you to force me to do something I don't want to do."When Gloria heard this, she flew into a rage. "Warren was so nice to you for nothing. Have you lost your conscience? You won't even help a dying man. Mom, we don't need to beg her. Let Clara save Warren. We can't wait any longer."She talked as though Evelyn were being ungrateful and unwilling to save someone's life.Seth pulled Evelyn aside. He said in a gentle voice, "If you don't want to, no one will dare force you. Wait for me outside. I'll handle this."He pushed Evelyn outside and shut the door. In an instant, the kind look on his face froze over. He walked over to Warren's bed and watched him writhe in pain. Seth felt no compassion for him and even smirked at the situation."Warren, you're not the only one in pain. Ev
Uttering those simple words caused Warren to feel like he had just climbed a huge mountain.In his world, he had never apologized to anyone before. But at this moment, as he hugged Evelyn, he murmured those words over and over again. It was as though he thought Evelyn would forgive him if he kept repeating it.But the chasm between her and Warren was too wide. This wasn't something that could be solved with a few apologies. Had he had any trust, or even just a bit of love for her back then, they wouldn't be in this position today.She could never forget how Warren had ignored her as she lay in a pool of her own blood.She could never forget how he had treated her like a pet and trampled all over the seven years of deep love she showed him.She could never forget those cruel words he said to her when she had been on the verge of death.Evelyn clenched her fists that hung by her sides. She kept her tone cool as she spoke. "Warren, I accept your apology. You can let go now."Warr
Evelyn would stare up at him with sparkling eyes. "Why are you home so late? I'm about to starve to death."It drove him wild whenever she did that.Before he ate dinner, he would have his way with her first.Only now did Warren realize that that was happiness. It turned out that he used to have that kind of happiness.But now, he'd ruined it with his own hands.Whenever he remembered these things from the past, his heart would throb in pain.While bent over in pain, he looked at William with a pale face. He said coldly, "I'm not dead yet!"From the way William stared back at him, he wasn't acting like a younger brother at all. Instead, he smirked evilly. "The way I see it, you're already on death's door. Not to mention, does Ms. Evie need to wait for you to die until she can treat someone else kindly? You're not even her man."Warren suddenly felt like this little punk was a bane of existence that Steven sent to him. Wherever it hurt, William would stab him in the same place
Charlie shook his head. "Well, no. She left you at the local hospital."Warren was so mad that he gritted his teeth. Wasn't she afraid that the quacks at the local hospital would kill him? He hadn't known that Evelyn had completely lost all feelings for him. She wasn't giving him any chances to make things up to her.When Charlie saw how his boss' eyes had turned bloodshot from fury, not only did he not feel bad, but he even rejoiced in secret.He had warned Warren so many times, but the latter never paid him any mind.Now, he lost his wife.He was actually looking forward to seeing his boss suffer in his pursuit of his lover.Charlie pretended to comfort him. "Mr. Larkin, Ms. Jefferson must be busy. She and Mr. Yarrow went to the Hawkins Corporation office to officially sign the contract. "The two of them were dressed impeccably. They even made it on television. Many netizens said they have the most chemistry in the legal industry. I'll find you the video I'm talking about."
