Anthony summoned the Larkin, Sullivan, Miles, and Yarrow families.He explained the situation and the stakes involved, and everyone agreed that it was the best way to protect Evelyn and the child.The consensus was that Jennifer's two prematurely born children would be in the incubator. Evelyn's child would be declared dead due to the impact of the explosion.Jennifer, who had just undergone surgery, couldn't help but shed tears when she heard the news.As a mother, she could imagine Evelyn's despair when she woke up.She tearfully turned to Seth, "Seth, when both babies are stable, come back to Ceumont City with us. I need to protect Evie's child and make sure he doesn't get hurt.Seth tenderly wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You just had surgery and can't afford to shed tears. We lost one child, but Albert's surgery was successful. He will be discharged in a few days, and we'll all go to Ceumont City together."Warren returned to Evelyn's ward after making the necessary
"Alright, no problem. Transferring your assets through a divorce is safe and won't arouse suspicion. After all, you're the reason the Miles and Sullivan families have suffered a loss. It's only fair to compensate them adequately."The two of them finalized the specific details of the divorce agreement.Charlie walked in. He handed the divorce agreement to Warren. "Mr. Larkin, we've found the cause of the explosion."Warren looked up and asked, "A timed bomb?""That's right. It's the latest international model, a tiny micro-bomb. But it has a 30-feet blast radius."It was hidden in the pendant of the blessed baby necklace Mrs. Potter gave the child. According to the footage, Mrs. Larkin found it while packing. She thought it was pretty, so she took a closer look at it."Fortunately, Mr. Jefferson realized something was wrong and ran to the yard with it. Otherwise, she and the baby wouldn't have survived."Warren's fists clenched tightly when he heard the report findings.Skyler
Tears dripped from Evelyn's eyes onto the baby.Her whole body trembled as she sobbed uncontrollably. She gently caressed the baby's cheeks. She sobbed. "Baby, I tried hard to protect you, but why did you have to leave me? Was I not good enough?"Please tell me if I did anything wrong. Don't leave me, I'm begging you."Everyone present couldn't hold back their tears. This was the outcome they had anticipated.Evelyn had come close to losing her life several times to protect the baby, but she had always survived. When she was kidnapped by Clara, she overcame her thalassophobia and jumped into the sea without any hesitation to stay alive.Like what she had said, she had done her best to protect her child, yet he was gone.Evelyn lay beside the baby as her hands caressed his tiny body.She wanted to hold him so badly and tell him that she had waited so long for him.But she had never expected their meeting to be their first and last.Warren held her tightly. His tears dripped ont
Warren hoped the angels above would give them more time so Evelyn could slowly adjust to everything.He carried Evelyn into Simon's room.When they entered, Evelyn saw her father attached to tons of medical devices.All she could see was darkness ahead of her.Her throat hurt so much as if countless needles were stabbing it. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even breathe.She sat beside Simon's bed and gently greeted, "Dad."Simon showed no reaction. He simply rested on the bed quietly.Evelyn gripped her father's hand. Her tears kept rolling down her cheeks."Dad, you would hold my hand like this when I was a kid. You said I shouldn't leave unless you let go of my hand."I'm holding your hand the same way now. Please, don't leave me, either, okay?"I've lost the baby. If I lose you too, I truly won't know how to continue living. Dad, you love me the most, right? Then I beg you. Please wake up. Please just look at me. I'm in such a horrible state."Evelyn cried so mu
Warren carried Evelyn back to the room. Seeing how much pain she was in, his heart ached horribly.He held Evelyn's hand tightly and said some comforting words in a soft voice. He said, "Evie, don't think too much about this. Everything will be fine."Evelyn saw how worn out he looked, so in a coarse voice, she asked, "How are things with Winnie?""I have already sent a lawyer over. The case is still in its early stage, so we don't know how things will go.""Warren," said Evelyn softly. "I'm fine. So many people in the family need to be taken care of now. I will be fine. You should go deal with Winnie's case. It's more urgent."Hearing her say those words, Warren's eyes instantly turned wet with tears.He was the reason she lost her baby and the reason why her father's life was hanging in the balance.Yet, she never uttered a word to blame him.Instead, she comforted him.Warren wondered just how much she had to love him to do all that.Intense heartache rippled within Warren
Evelyn had already guessed what Warren had decided.If that weren't the case, he would've been right beside her to watch over her.Evelyn closed her eyes as sorrow filled her. Tears rolled down her cheeks and landed on the pillow.Evelyn didn't want to let go. She simply couldn't bear to do so.She thought about how things would be for Warren if she left and wondered how his life would be if he were all alone.Evelyn shook her head and refused to admit defeat. She said, "I don't believe this. He wouldn't be okay with us being apart. I don't think that he'd be okay with abandoning this relationship, either. Jazzie, I want to talk to him."Jazzie fished a tissue out and helped Evelyn wipe her tears. After that, Jazzie said, "He went to Milania and claimed he'd only be back a few days later. He asked me to come and keep you company.""What happened the last few days? Tell me all about it.""Nothing much. Mostly just business competitions and corporate wars. Dennis has taken over t
Evelyn's heart was aching so much that the pain felt at its limit. Still, she kept her emotions under control. All she did was tear up quietly.She shifted her gaze up and looked right at Warren. Her voice was thick with tears when she said, "When we got married, you made a promise, Warren. You said that we'd be together for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."Are those vows just words from a script to you?""Evie, I'm sorry. I don't want to see you getting hurt again. If we are separated, both the Miles family and the Sullivan family will regain their strength. You and Dad will be safe, too."Russell knows that you are my weakness. That's why he kept going after you."I can't go all out and focus on this war with you beside me. For the sake of rescuing my mother and my grandfather, and for the sake of getting revenge for our child, I must leave you."Evie, you have lost too much because of me. I don't want my problems
"Okay, I'll head over later," said Evelyn.She drove to Jennifer's place soon after.The living room was packed with things for babies. There were toys, bottles, and diapers. Every inch of the room was filled with the unique scent of babies.All that made Evelyn's nose a little runny. She couldn't help tearing up as well.She thought about how if her baby had survived, he would be over a month old at the time. The baby would already be able to smile at her.Those thoughts made Evelyn's heart ache horribly.When Jennifer walked down the stairs, she saw Evelyn in that state. Jennifer felt bad seeing her that way.She made her way to Evelyn and held Evelyn's hand before she said, "You're thinking about the baby, aren't you?"Evelyn nodded calmly. Her eyes were wet when she looked at Jennifer."I keep getting the feeling that he's still alive. I also have this strange sense that he's right beside me. Every night, I dream of him smiling at me. Jennifer, do you think that maybe I ha
