Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 417
Evelyn was still weak. She leaned against Simon and cried so much that she eventually fell asleep.Seeing how sickly thin she was and recalling what she said earlier, Simon had a bad feeling. He gently caressed Evelyn's head. He was so heartbroken that his eyes turned bloodshot."Evie, did you figure something out?"After Evelyn returned home, her tensed body suddenly relaxed completely. She spent most of two whole days asleep.Although she was unconscious, Evelyn knew that many had visited her. She heard Jazzie scolding her while crying. She also felt Bonnie holding her hand while sobbing.Evelyn wanted to open her eyes to look at them. Unfortunately, it felt as though her eyes were glued shut. She couldn't open them, no matter how hard she tried.It was so bad that she couldn't differentiate between her dreams and reality.She saw herself resting on her father's back. She also saw how Xena caused her to attempt suicide by jumping into the lake. At the time, Simon cried while h

Warren arched his brows when he looked at Chet. After that, he said, "That depends on how you behave. She's my wife and listens to every word I say."What Warren was implying was rather obvious. Chet would have to go through Warren if he wanted Evelyn to accept him as her brother.Chet wasn't happy about that, but he put an earnest smile on his face.He leaned closer to Warren and whispered, "That won't be a problem at all. Just tell me your request, and I will do it, my baby brother-in-law."Chet deliberately put heavy emphasis on the word "baby." A smug smile lit up on his face.Warren was taken aback when he heard that.He stared at Chet for a couple of seconds before he chuckled and replied, "You expect me to call you my big brother? You may have to wait until the next lifetime."Chet remained calm and replied, "Don't be so sure yet. Sooner or later, you will have to regard me as your big brother."Warren gritted his teeth angrily when he saw how smug Chet was.Just then,

Sally heard Evelyn's voice. Sally had been struggling against death, but her heartbeat suddenly became stronger.The doctor immediately said, "The patient is reacting to you. Talk more with her."Seeing Sally's deathly pale and wrinkled face, Evelyn's heart broke. She leaned into Sally's arms. She didn't want to accept the fact that Simon was not her biological father. However, Sally had been kind to her, so she also couldn't bear to be cruel to the elderly lady.Evelyn thought about how Sally had already known the truth early on.

Now a senior, she found her long-lost, biological granddaughter but was too scared to reveal the truth.Evelyn recalled how Sally was when they spent time together.

There was happiness and appreciation, but more than anything, Evelyn was heartbroken.She felt heartbroken because Sally lost her daughter and because Sonya died at such a young age.Evelyn held Sally's hand. With teary eyes, she looked at Sally and suggested, "Grandma, let's go visit Mom after you get discharged."Hearing those words, Sally got so emotional that her lips trembled. "Evie, does that mean you'll accept us as your family?"Evelyn grinned and replied, "My dad said that there is nothing bad about having more people to care about me. He will always be my beloved father, though.""That's right. Your father will always be Simon Jefferson. We won't take you away from him. There will simply be more people around to love and take care of you."Sally couldn't find the right words to describe the appreciation she felt toward Simon.He had spent more than 20 years raising his daughter. Yet, he selflessly helped convince her to accept her biological family. That showed just ho

Hearing that voice, everyone turned their attention to the door.Johnny's leg was in a cast, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. His hair had turned white, and more wrinkles had shown up on his face. His gaze brimmed with guilt and pain when he looked at Evelyn.Chet was the first to dash over to stop Johnny in his path. He said, "Evie doesn't have a father like you. You should turn around and go check on your illegitimate daughter."Johnny wasn't angry about his son speaking in a cold tone to him. Instead, he lowered his pride and begged, "I simply want to see Evie. It's fine if she doesn't want to accept me as her family.""What? Are you here to see if she's dead? Evie wouldn't have suffered so much if it hadn't been for Clara. We were lucky that Evie dealt with the situation smartly. If she hadn't, she and the baby would be shark food by now!""Chet, I have learned my mistake. I didn't think that Clara would do something so heinous, either. It's my fault, and I owe Evie. Please

All they saw was Clara wrapped in multiple layers of bandages. She was lying on the bed and looked like a mummy.Her throat could make some noise, but she couldn't say any words.Warren shifted his gaze to Evelyn. In a warm voice, he said, "I am the one who saved her life. I want her to watch as our happiness blooms."Evelyn remained calm. She simply replied, "Let's head in and check things out. I'm sure I'm the last person she wants to see."After saying that, Evelyn took the lead to enter the room.Clara was clamping her mouth shut and refused to take her medicine. That was when a curvy figure showed up in front of her.Although Evelyn had gone through some hardship, she had had a few days to recover. Her face had regained the beauty it once held, and she looked much healthier than Clara. As expected, Clara's eyes instantly bulged after she saw Evelyn. She shook her head in disbelief as a deep growl escaped her throat."No, no, no."Evelyn slowly made her way to the bedside

After those words were said, the balloons floated into the clear blue sky.When they reached a certain height, they popped and scattered rose petals from above.Evelyn tilted her head up and watched as the rose petals danced in the air. Her beautiful lips couldn't help curving into a small grin.Returning to that place brought back some bad memories for her. However, the lively ambiance suddenly engulfed her and dissipated any negative emotions she had.Jazzie made her way over and hugged Evelyn. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Larkin, your husband promised to treat us to lobster, crab, and caviar. Make sure he doesn't skimp on anything."Evelyn chuckled and flicked Jazzie's forehead. After that, she joked, "Look around and see if there's enough food for you. If not, just go ahead and throw me in a pot.""Ah, never mind, then. Mr. Larkin will chop me up and feed me to the sharks before I can cook you," replied Jazzie. "Also, how many times have I told you? Don't flick my forehead. Wha

Ezra was fighting endlessly at the time. Hearing his daughter's voice prompted him to stop right away.He seemed a little surprised when he looked at Remy."Warren, you hear that? My daughter called me Daddy! Which other six-month-old is smart enough to do that? I bet you are drowning in jealousy, huh?"Ezra let go of Warren's collar and ran toward Remy right away. He smiled happily and said, "Sweetheart, what did you say earlier? Please repeat that."Remy instantly leaned into Ezra's arms. She wiped all her tears and snot onto his expensive shirt, leaving trails on it.Her big, round eyes blinked at Ezra as her lips kept saying, "Dadadada…"Hearing his daughter call him Dad again made Ezra so excited that he lifted her above his head.He bragged to everyone and said, "Come look! Guess whose baby girl is so beautiful and smart that she already knows how to call out to her daddy? "It's my little girl! I, Ezra Hawkins, have an incredible daughter. I bet you all are jealous, huh?

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,
