The two of them locked eyes. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.Warren clenched his fists tightly and walked toward Evelyn with long strides. He forced himself to suppress the longing in his heart and hid all the emotions in his eyes.He said in a calm and steady voice, "Evie, are you okay?"Hearing that voice calling her name once more, it would be impossible for Evelyn not to be affected.After two years of hard work and challenges, she was no longer the same Evelyn she was two years ago. She always hid her inner bitterness very well.Evelyn gave a slight smile and said in her usual tone, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Larkin. I'm fine."Warren felt a deep pain in his chest as he saw how distant she was.But wasn't this exactly the result he wanted? He hoped Evelyn would keep her distance from him, that she could move on from her past relationship and start anew.He looked over at Seth and Jennifer. "Have you two still not gotten married? What are you waiting for?"
Warren watched Evelyn's slender figure. Only he understood the bitterness in his heart.Of course, he knew exactly how high Evelyn's status and position were now.He paid attention to every one of her legal cases and all of her trips. He even personally sat in the audience during several of Milania's court cases.He saw Evelyn's confidence and radiance. That was a radiance that was absent when being with him. It was he who had concealed her brilliant life for four years.Warren clenched his fist slowly in his pocket, while a dismissive smile played at the corners of his lips."Stop nagging me. Didn't you say you wanted a second child? Why haven't you had one yet? Is it because your health makes it impossible?"Ezra glared at him. "How can you say that? I'm as strong as an ox. Having two kids in a year wouldn't be a problem."It's Tammy who doesn't want it. She's now Evelyn's secretary, and both of them are so busy with their careers that she doesn't have time for me at all."Le
Allergic to seafood? These words hit Evelyn like a bolt of lightning.Warren was also allergic to seafood. Why was Havyn like him? Was it just a coincidence?Evelyn couldn't help but look toward Warren, her eyes already brimming with tears. Her voice trembled a bit as she said, "I-I only gave him a little fish soup."Jennifer took a bottle of medicine from her bag and said, "He can't have any kind of seafood, not even fish soup. When I was breastfeeding, if I drank fish soup, he would have an allergic reaction to my milk."It's okay. Just take one of these pills, and you'll feel better in a little while."Jennifer was busy giving medicine to Havyn and didn't pay attention to what she was saying.However, Evelyn's face was becoming increasingly pale. Why did Havyn's allergy response match Warren's? Jennifer and Seth were not allergic to seafood, either.Evelyn couldn't help but blurt out, "Jennifer, neither you nor Seth has any allergies, so why is Havyn allergic to seafood?"Th
After that, Warren took a card out of his pocket and handed it to Seth, saying in a serious tone, "This is the child support payment for Havyn for this year. You and Jennifer have worked hard these past two years."Seth immediately declined, "You already gave me quite a bit last time, and Jennifer already scolded me for it. I can't accept this money.""If you don't take it, I will feel very uneasy. He is my son, and I already feel guilty for not being able to raise him myself. If I don't contribute financially, how will I face him in the future?"Hearing that, Seth reluctantly put the card into his pocket.The two chatted for a while about the current situation before Warren left in his car.Evelyn was playing games with the children in the garden at that time. When she saw the car disappear from the yard, the smile on her face slowly faded.Havyn was very observant. He looked at Evelyn, then at the car that Warren had driven away in. With an uplifted face, he asked, "Aunt Evelyn
The doctor arrived quickly and conducted a series of examinations on Simon.He then looked at Evelyn and said, "The patient is experiencing heart failure and needs to be taken to the surgery room immediately. It doesn't look good this time, Ms. Jefferson."Upon hearing this, Evelyn was completely stunned.During those two years, she had experienced countless of Simon's surgeries like this. But it was the first time the doctor told her to prepare herself.She immediately grabbed the doctor's arm. "Didn't you say he was just unconscious and not in any danger? How come it's different now?"The doctor responded, "His heart was already in poor condition. If he continues to lie in bed all day, heart failure will happen quickly."Don't worry, we will do our best to save him. I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared."After that, Simon was rushed into the emergency room.Evelyn stood alone at the doorway, pacing back and forth.Ten minutes later, a young nurse came out and
Jazzie quickly consoled, "Evie, don't we still have that miracle worker? What if we find the miracle worker within the next ten days or so? Then Mr. Jefferson could be saved."Ethan frowned. "We've been looking for two years and exhausted all our connections without any success. How could we possibly find them in just a few days?"Upon hearing this, Jazzie glared at him. "Ethan, if you don't have anything nice to say, then just keep your mouth shut. Must you always say something hurtful? Can't you offer some comfort?""I am a doctor, so I have to be honest. I can't give her false hope just to have it shattered later, causing her more pain.""You can't push someone to the brink like that. Didn't you see how upset Evie already is? You've taken away her last bit of hope. What do you expect her to do now?"Tears streamed down her face as Jazzie spoke.She knew that Simon was the only source of hope that could keep Evelyn going. If he were to leave as well, she wasn't sure if Evelyn w
Hearing that form of address that she often heard in her dreams, Evelyn could no longer hold back. She lay in Chet's arms and started crying uncontrollably.All her thoughts and longing for her child suddenly overwhelmed her. For the past two years, she had been suppressing her emotions, not allowing herself to think about that child. So, she put all her energy into her work.She thought she had already forgotten about him. But when she heard Havyn's innocent call, her heart shattered.She knew those were mere comforting words from Havyn and that Havyn was not the child she had lost. But now she wanted to transfer all her longing for her own child onto Havyn.Chet saw this and couldn't help but get misty-eyed.He gently stroked Evelyn's head and said, "Alright, don't cry anymore. Now you know how many people love you. Cheer up so that we can make sure Mr. Jefferson leaves without any regrets."Evelyn wiped away her tears. "Chet, I want to stay here a while longer to spend more ti
Even when attending various events, Warren always brought Charlie along instead. This was the first time he suggested taking her along to an event. So, she needed to prepare thoroughly.Linda left the office and immediately reported the matter to Russell.When he saw her report, a cold smirk appeared on Russell's face.He said to the assistant behind him, "Tell Dennis to send an invitation to Evelyn. I want to see if there's still any feeling between the two of them."…Back in the hospital, Evelyn stayed by Simon's side the whole time.Meanwhile, Jazzie returned from buying food outside and happened to see Davina and Ethan coming out of the office together.Jazzie gritted her teeth and pretended not to see them as she walked past.But when Davina saw her, she immediately stopped and greeted her. "Ms. Hoffman, are you going to visit Mr. Jefferson?"Jazzie slowly turned around and looked at her with a blank expression. "Do you need something, Dr. Teller?"Davina smiled. "No. I
