The street was quite secluded, and there was hardly anyone in sight along the main road. Evelyn walked for quite some distance before she finally spotted a restaurant.She was about to head straight there when she sensed someone behind her and instinctively turned around to check. Standing behind her was a man staring directly at her. His gaze held an evil look. Sensing that something was wrong, she immediately ran away.Unfortunately, she was already weak from her low blood sugar. Worse still, the criminal pursuing her was a man.Evelyn didn't run far before she heard someone shouting behind her."Go to hell, Evelyn Jefferson!"As soon as Evelyn heard those words, she felt some liquid being splashed onto her back. Immediately after, she felt a sharp, burning pain shooting up her spine. She realized what was going on instantly and figured out what that liquid was. If it had gotten on her face, it was likely that the rest of her life would be ruined.Evelyn ignored everythin
Evelyn watched as Warren lay still, covered in blood. The droplets rolling down her cheeks could have been her tears or the water.Just then, the bodyguard who had been assigned to secretly protect Evelyn approached.He took Warren to the hospital.…30 minutes later, Warren was taken to the emergency room to be treated.Evelyn stood in the hospital's corridor despite being drenched.Charlie immediately comforted her. "Ms. Jefferson," said Charlie, "You should get your burns looked at as well. If not, the consequences will be dire."Evelyn shook her head and insisted, "I'm not leaving. I want to wait here.""Ms. Jefferson, Mr. Larkin dealt with your injury first, despite being in such a dire situation himself. He did that because he didn't want to exacerbate your injury."If you miss the opportunity to quickly treat it, you would have wasted all of his efforts."No wonder Charlie was regarded as an amazing assistant. He was great at deciphering his boss' intent.Evelyn stopp
"Evelyn, you will never understand how much I love Warren. We were promised to be each other's life partner before I was even born. I grew up with him loving me the entire time, and our love for each other has always been strong."If you hadn't gotten into the middle of all this, we would have been married ages ago."Evelyn arched her brows and replied, "Is that so? If the love were that deep, shouldn't you have stood by his side even when he was in trouble? Why did you run faster than lightning?""That was my father's idea. I had no choice.""Aren't you smart enough to come up with something? If all else failed, you could threaten suicide. The Sullivan family loves you so much that I'm sure they'd rather take a crippled son-in-law than let you die."Or could the truth be that you weren't willing to spend the rest of your life with a cripple? You are obviously a pretentious woman. Do you really think that no one else can see that?"Evelyn leaned against the door lazily. Every sin
Evelyn was still in shock when she heard Warren calling out for her.In a daze, she made her way to the side of his bed. She scanned him for a few seconds before saying, "My injuries are fine. Your cuts are deep, and you need rest."Warren pulled her into his arms and insistently opened her shirt.Her silky soft back had a bandage wrapped around it.The skin under that bandage was damaged, and her flower-shaped birthmark was gone.Warren's heart stung upon seeing Evelyn's injury.He knew that the criminal had specifically targeted Evelyn. The guy's true objective was to destroy her birthmark.That meant he and Chet weren't the only ones who knew that Evelyn was Sonya's daughter. A third party had figured that out.Warren's icy fingers gently caressed Evelyn's skin.In a deep voice, he asked, "Does it hurt?"Evelyn shook her head and replied, "The doctor said that the injury would be worse if you hadn't washed everything off for me in time."Even at that moment, all Evelyn co
Winnie handed Evelyn a box with a slice of cake in it. The former leaned closer to the latter's ear and whispered, "Don't get back together with him that soon, okay? "Men are evil. They all think that unattainable women are great but never treasure the woman by their side. Make him earn your forgiveness."Before Evelyn could respond to that, Winnie left.The second the latter exited the door, she called Bonnie."You can sleep well tonight, Grandma. I saw the two of them hugging. I doubt it'd be long before that turns into something more."Bonnie was over the moon at her words."That's great! At least the injury was worth it. The entire family is leaving the country tomorrow to go on a vacation."Let all our hired help take a few days off as well. There's no way my future granddaughter-in-law could bear watching my grandson suffer."Bonnie's plan got Winnie utterly in awe.It seemed the old saying was true. No elderly could bear it if their young did not have a life partner. T
Warren didn't wait for a response from Evelyn. He shoved her hand into his pants right away.The burning heat frightened Evelyn and prompted her to retract her hand.She blushed hard. In a raspy voice, she warned, "Warren, if you keep misbehaving, I'll ignore you!"She had already lost control for a moment there. Still, she would not allow herself to fall back in love with Warren.Warren had kissed Evelyn. Seeing Evelyn's bright red lips made Warren smile proudly."Evie, you still have feelings for me. You enjoyed that kiss, didn't you?""Shut up!" roared Evelyn. She grabbed a pillow and smacked Warren.Warren grinned upon seeing her furious. He wanted to make Evelyn lose her temper.Unfortunately, when he moved to avoid the pillow, he accidentally reopened his wound.The pain caused him to hiss. After that, he softly said, "Evie, I'm hurt."Evelyn took off his shirt right away to examine him.The white bandage was slowly becoming soaked in crimson-red blood. Even his clothe
Meanwhile, Warren had just picked up his phone to call Evelyn. He wanted to ask her why she hadn't returned yet.That was when the door to the hospital room opened.Clara pushed Iris into the room.Her face showed no sign of shame from being chased out yesterday. The smile she wore remained beautiful."Warren, Mrs. Larkin asked me to take her to you."Warren was in a good mood from earlier, but seeing them there turned his mood sour again.In a hostile tone, he asked, "You just woke up. Why are you moving about and not resting instead?"Iris looked terrible, but the strength in her voice remained.She stared at Warren's wound and asked, "You're willing to die for Evelyn? All she does is get you in trouble. What's so good about that? Why are you so obsessed with her?"A hint of fury instantly rose from within Warren's gaze."She is my lover. What I'm willing to do for her is my business. I have the freedom to choose whether I want to live or die for her. I don't need others to
Iris left with Clara after threatening Evelyn.Evelyn was under Warren's protection, so Iris didn't have the guts to go overboard.Moreover, Chester had only just reconsidered the divorce because she had saved Bonnie's life. She didn't want to make things worse at such a fragile time.Her main mission was to keep her status as a member of the Larkin family.Iris thought that she would deal with Evelyn eventually anyway.When Warren saw Evelyn entering the room, he immediately asked in a worried tone. "Where did you go? Why were you out for so long?""I took a walk outside."Warren noticed that Evelyn looked off and was avoiding his gaze. He sensed that something was wrong.He immediately hissed and said, "Evie, I'm in pain."Evelyn ran to him immediately. She was about to lift his shirt and check his wound when Warren grabbed her wrist.It was only then that Warren noticed the red handprint on Evelyn's face.His gaze instantly turned icy. He tucked Evelyn's hair behind her e
