Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 318
Thinking about all this, Chet couldn't help but sigh. It seemed getting Evelyn to acknowledge her biological roots wouldn't be easy. Moreover, her scumbag father, Johnny, had harmed her for Clara's sake. Evelyn would likely refuse to reconcile even if she learned the truth. At that moment, Chet received a call from his father. He answered, annoyed.Johnny's hoarse, sorrowful voice came through at once. "Chet, Clara got sentenced to ten years. She has to stay in prison for ten years. By the time she gets out, she'll be ruined. You need to find a way to get her out now. After all, she's your half-sister."Johnny tried to make him feel guilty. Chet let out a cold laugh. "So, to get Clara off the hook, you had someone harm Simon?"There was a moment of silence before Johnny replied, "It's Evelyn's fault. She brought this upon herself. You didn't see how ruthless that girl was. She refused to give up prosecuting this case, even when her father was critically ill. "If she had drop

This wasn't the first time Evelyn had heard something like this.During Bonnie's birthday party, Sally had said something similar too.Evelyn didn't bat an eye. Instead, she just flashed a smile and quipped, "Well, if that's your line of thought, then Clara and I must be kin too, given our resemblance, huh? But I reckon it's more a shared resentment than anything else."Seeing that Evelyn wasn't buying it, Chet let out a bitter laugh."Evelyn, please don't lump me in with Clara, alright? I've got a score to settle with her. Her mother killed my mom and made my sister disappear. I will never be on her team."In a bid to earn Evelyn's trust, Chet laid bare the grim details of his mother's death and the heart-wrenching story of his sister's disappearance.Evelyn glimpsed the raw pain of losing a parent in his eyes and sensed his yearning for his lost sister.It stirred something deep within her. She even felt a sense of empathy.As Chet's story unfolded, Evelyn felt her hardened d

After much persuasion, they finally got Evelyn into the VIP ward across the hall.Evelyn tossed and turned in bed, fighting for rest. It took a while, but she eventually began to feel a hint of sleepiness.…The next morning, Gertrude brought Leo to the hospital.When they arrived, Leo stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of black-clad bodyguards standing in a line outside the VIP ward.He clutched Gertrude's arm. "Grandma, do you think they'll let us in?"Gertrude snorted. "I'm Simon's mother. I'm here to see my son. Why shouldn't they let me in? If they don't, I'll sit right here and cry. Let's see who gets embarrassed, them or me."With fierce determination, she marched up to the ward door, only to be blocked by the bodyguards."Ma'am, you can't enter," one of them said firmly.Gertrude bristled. "My son is lying in there, critically ill. I've come to see him. Why won't you let me in?"The bodyguard's expression remained stony. "Sorry, Mr. Larkin has ordered no visitors

Gertrude was oblivious to Chet's identity. Seeing his refined bearing, she assumed he was just bluffing.She let out a string of curses, "Evelyn's just like her mother, a shameless slut. First Warren, now this suave pretty boy. Are you all blind? Don't you know what kind of person she really is?"As Gertrude's words trailed off, she watched in disbelief as Chet, who had been all smiles moments earlier, swiftly raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to Leo.Caught off guard, Leo staggered backward.Before he could even process what had happened, another forceful kick struck his shin.A sharp crack reverberated through the air, followed by Leo's piercing cries of agony."Grandma, cut it out. That's Chet Sullivan, head honcho of the Sullivans. You know, the guy who smiles at your face but stabs you in the back."Gertrude was struck dumb with fear. Her eyes flicked between Chet and her grandson writhing on the ground."How could you... H-how could you hit someone?" she man

Observing Evelyn's distress, Chet grasped the situation intuitively.He swiftly fetched a blanket and tenderly wrapped it around Evelyn, offering reassurance in a soft tone, "Don't worry, the baby will be okay. Don't dwell on it, I've got everything handled, alright?"Even though Warren wasn't there, Chet's calming words had a soothing effect.Evelyn's nerves gradually settled as she basked in his comforting presence.After a good 15 minutes, Ethan strode in accompanied by the obstetrician.After a thorough examination of Evelyn, the doctor delivered her verdict, "The baby's holding steady. It's just some bleeding from all the emotional upheaval. Take it easy in bed, and I'll write you a prescription for prenatal meds. How do you feel about herbal remedies?"Evelyn nodded eagerly. "Yes, please, now if you can."The doctor gave her arm a reassuring pat. "Don't worry, a little bleeding is normal. Just relax, it'll be better for the little one.""Got it, thanks a bunch," Evelyn re

Evelyn shuddered as she stumbled backward and hit the wall. The sensation of the cold concrete brought her back to her senses.She knew that if she signed the paper, it was highly likely that her father would die on the surgical table.But if she didn't sign it, her father's life would be in even greater danger.Facing such a difficult decision, Evelyn forced herself to calm down.She walked over to the doctor. After taking the consent form, she signed it with shaky hands.A teardrop slowly rolled down her cheek and landed on the consent form.Evelyn choked out, "Could I go in and accompany my father?"The doctor frowned. "The surgery will take seven to eight hours. You can't enter in your current condition. Please wait outside. We will try our best to save him."Evelyn nodded meekly as she watched the door of the emergency room swing shut.Agonizingly, the minutes ticked by. It had only been half an hour, but she felt as though a century had passed.Evelyn paced in the corri

Chet patted Evelyn on the head. He wanted to keep his hand on her head but moved it away after a short hesitation. Charlie quickly comforted, "Ms. Jefferson, Mr. Larkin will be fine. Maybe he's escaped but doesn't have any way to signal us."Evelyn felt warm, surrounded by everyone's comforting gestures.She raised her head with teary eyes and said hoarsely, "I know he won't abandon us. He will return."Wiping her tears, she drank a few sips of water. After that, she looked at Charlie. "Mr. Crawford, I'm hungry. Please buy me something to eat."Charlie was taken aback but promptly responded, "Alright. I'll get you something now."Ten minutes later, Charlie came back brandishing a bowl of beef stew and three breadsticks.Evelyn sat on the chair in the corridor and emptied her bowl.Seeing how she forced herself to eat, everyone around her became teary-eyed.They knew Evelyn was trying to cheer herself up while waiting for her father's surgery and Warren's return.To regain he

The caller was an unknown overseas number. Even if his voice were different, Chet wouldn't mistake him for anyone else.At once, Chet raised his head. He looked at Evelyn.With a trembling voice, he answered, "She's doing fine. What about you?"Warren sounded like he was in pain. "Pass her the phone."Chet immediately walked over to Evelyn. He bent down and said, "It's Warren. He's fine."Upon hearing that, Evelyn froze.Ten long seconds passed before she returned to her senses. She immediately took the phone from Chet. With a shaky voice, she said, "Warren."Then, tears started rolling down her face.Feeling bad, Warren closed his eyes. "Evie, I'm fine. The area has been secured. I can go back in a few days. Has Dr. Elwood arrived?""Yeah. Dad's surgery was successful," Evelyn choked out."That's great. Looks like I didn't go back on my words. Evie, did you eat and sleep well?""Yeah. I had beef stew with a few breadsticks just now."When Warren heard her nasal tone, h

Every word Linda spoke conveyed Warren's trust in her and disdain for Evelyn. She was suggesting that he didn't even want to come in person to visit Simon.Evelyn could tell what Linda was thinking. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips.She took out her phone from her bag, looked at Linda, and said, "Is that so? Then, I should personally call Mr. Larkin to thank him for remembering my father's kindness toward him."After she finished speaking, she started pretending to make a phone call.Linda immediately spoke up to stop her. "Mr. Larkin is very busy and currently in a meeting, so please do not disturb him.""Is it that he's busy, or is it that you don't want him to know you're visiting my father without his permission?"Linda realized that her thoughts were seen through by Evelyn, so she decided not to pretend anymore.A slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Evelyn, back then, you took so much from Warren without regard for his well-being. Your hea

Evelyn immediately took out a piece of tissue to help Simon wipe away his tears. She said softly, "Dad, I know you have a lot you want to say to Ms. Dawson, so please wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."Simon's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was agreeing to the promise.After that, Erica took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Simon's head.…One hour later, the first acupuncture session was complete.Evelyn asked with some concern, "Ms. Dawson, how is my dad?"Erica was tidying up while speaking, "His condition is better than I expected. At this rate, he should be showing more obvious responses in about a week."Hearing these words, Evelyn looked at her excitedly. "Really? That's great! My dad has hope now!"Ms. Dawson, you've been running around all day. Let me take you to eat first, then you can rest at the hotel."Just as she finished speaking, Simon grabbed Erica's hand.Seeing this scene, Evelyn's eyes widened

The room suddenly became so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as she stared at Simon. She only went to his bedside, taking a few difficult steps, after several minutes.Erica gently placed her fingertips on Simon's wrist as tears fell onto his arm.Watched her unusual reaction, Evelyn finally remembered where she had seen Erica before.There was a picture of a women hidden in Simon's private photo album. If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him. This kind of thing usually happened between couples.When Evelyn thought about it, she suddenly understood everything.Erica was someone Simon had been in love with many years ago. The unfortunate couple was separated initially because of Xena's scheme.Evelyn walked slowly to the bedside, patted Erica on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know my dad, Dr. Dawson?"Erica wiped away her tears and sighed.

Erica was dressed very plainly, but her delicate features still stood out. The red mole near the corner of her eye felt especially familiar to Evelyn.Her first thought was that she had definitely seen Erica somewhere before.She calmly approached with a smile and said, "Dr. Dawson, we're here to fetch you to treat my father."Erica greeted them with a smile. "Come inside and have some water first. I'll go pack up, and we can leave in a short while."They followed her and entered the courtyard once more.While packing her things, Erica asked, "So, which one of you is Sophie's friend?"William, who had always been carefree and uninhibited, immediately stood up and respectfully said to Erica, "It's me. I met her in Zyldrica."Erica looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a hint of delight. "You seem very handsome and look spirited, young man."William's smile was somewhat stiff. It was the first time someone had ever complimented him, and he didn't know how to react.When fac

Evelyn stepped forward and said, "But Warren and the others have been doing everything they can to find you and get you out."Alfred shook his head. "If I leave, that bastard will know that you all have discovered his secret. All your subsequent plans will fail."I'm staying here since he won't do anything to me anyway. I still have something I haven't given him yet. How else do you think I've lived until now?"You all should leave quickly. Just pretend nothing happened. My granddaughter and I will handle that jerk ourselves.""Mr. Miller Senior—"Evelyn wanted to say something else, but Nathan, who was behind her, grabbed her abruptly.He furrowed his brow and looked at Alfred. "Evelyn, Mr. Miller Senior is right. If he leaves, Warren's plan will be ruined. Don't worry, I'll assign someone to keep an eye on this place and make sure nothing will happen to him."Evelyn was eager to save Alfred so that Warren could launch a full-scale attack on Russell. Only then could they reunit

Elma shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. My dad was killed by Chester long ago. The person who killed him is not Sir."Evelyn gave a calm smile. "He says he's protecting you, but in reality, he has always treated you as a pawn to control Iris. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't risk her life so willingly for him."I could never understand why Iris would obey someone so willingly. But then I met you, and everything became clear to me."Have you never wondered why your mother looks so much like Mrs. Larkin? That person definitely won't tell you that they are twin sisters."You're also the one keeping an eye on this old man's biological daughter. That person has known about this secret for a long time but has kept it from Iris to fully control her."Whether it's your father, Ronald, or your mother, Iris, their tragic lives were all caused by that 'Sir' you mentioned. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"Hearing these words, Elma glared at Eve

The gears lunged toward them, like a giant shark with its jaws wide open.Just then, Nathan suddenly held Evelyn in his arms. In a low and hoarse voice filled with suppressed emotion, he called out softly, "Evie."His grip around her was tight. It felt as if he wanted to fuse Evelyn into himself. At the same time, he pressed a button that was a disgusting shade of yellow with his other hand.Everyone was wide-eyed with fear, staring intently at the turning gears.If the wrong button was pressed, not only would the gears not stop, but other traps in this room might be activated. They were in double jeopardy, and there was no escape for them.At that critical moment, the rumbling sound of the gears gradually diminished until it faded away entirely. The gears stopped just short of three feet away from them.Evelyn looked up at Nathan, her eyes wide with shock, and her voice trembling. "Nathan, we're saved."Nathan smiled and gently brushed her hair. "I told you, I won't let anythin

The elderly man was none other than Warren's grandfather, Alfred. But wasn't Alfred being held in Milania by Russell? Moreover, he had been poisoned and was supposed to be unconscious.Yet, the elderly man before them was sitting at a table, leisurely playing a game of chess.Evelyn didn't have time to think much. She pressed the switch next to her, opened the door, and rushed in.Just as they went in, the glass door automatically closed behind them, and the entire room started to slowly descend—right into where the gears were turning.Evelyn looked at Nathan with some panic. "I think we've been tricked."Nathan looked at a control panel in the room and said, "Don't worry. This is the control console. As long as we find the button to stop the gears from turning, we'll be fine."After speaking, he carefully examined the central control panel.At that moment, Elma's laughter echoed again in the room. "Evelyn, this control panel has 81 buttons, and each one will trigger a different

Elma's eyes seemed so familiar to Evelyn that they left a deep impression in her mind.When Evelyn was deep in thought, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as a name popped into her mind—Iris Lindt.Elma's eyes and nose looked a lot like Iris'. Could it be that they were related?Evelyn tried to stand up and look for William and Nathan, but her hands and feet were tied, making moving impossible.She softly called out, "William? Mr. Holland?"There was no response, so she tried calling out again. This time, a deep, hoarse voice rang out close by. "Evelyn, I'm over here."Nathan's voice was urgent and full of concern. In the darkness, Evelyn almost mistook it again for Warren's voice.She responded, "Mr. Holland, where is William?"Nathan kicked William beside him and said, "He's next to me. The drug seems to be affecting him more. Don't be afraid, I'll be over there right away."After speaking, Nathan crawled toward Evelyn. Seeing her pale face, he felt a bit concerned and asked,
