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
Warren was dressed entirely in black, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask. He walked slowly to Evelyn's side.He stared at Evelyn's haggard face for a long time. Eventually, he couldn't resist reaching out and caressing her with his large hand.Warren felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at that face again.Tears welled up in his eyes at that moment, and a sharp pain flared up in his throat, as if something was piercing it.He said in a hushed voice, "Evie, I'm sorry."He didn't know what else to say besides apologize.He once promised her that he would help her find the miracle worker to wake Simon up. But, after two years of searching, he still hadn't found the person.He had also promised her that he would help Simon find his daughter, but there had been no news so far.All the promises he made to her ended up being empty. It even involved the feelings of two people.Warren held Evelyn's soft little hand and couldn't resist kissing it with his warm, moist lips. B
Just when the nurse was pondering what to do, she saw Evelyn approaching and immediately looked toward her. "Ms. Jefferson, please take a look. This madam insists on taking Mr. Jefferson away."Evelyn's face remained calm and expressionless as she looked at Gertrude with a cold gaze."My dad has had two major heart surgeries, and you didn't visit him even once. Right after his initial recovery, you teamed up with outsiders to agitate him, nearly costing him his life."He has been in a coma for two years, and not a single one of you from the Jefferson family has come to visit him."You're only here now that he's about to die. Do you really think I don't know what your intentions are?Upon hearing her words, Gertrude retorted, "Evelyn, you have no blood relation to Simon. His property rightfully belongs to me as his mother, and you can forget about getting anything from me."Evelyn smirked. "So, it's about my dad's estate. Don't forget, I'm a lawyer. Are you sure you can win a lega
Evelyn noticed this small movement by Simon. She immediately ran over, looked at Simon's hand, and said, "Havyn, talk to Grandpa again."Havyn saw how shocked Evelyn was and seemed to have guessed something. He stepped on a chair and climbed onto Simon's bed.He lay down beside him and hugged his neck. "Grandpa, I miss you so much. Please wake up soon and play with me, okay?"After speaking, he kissed Simon on the cheek.This further excited Simon, causing his fingertips to twitch once more. The first time might be a coincidence, but what about this time?Evelyn felt hopeful once again. She immediately pressed the emergency call button.The doctor came to check and said, "He responds to the child, which means the child is the person Mr. Jefferson cares about the most. Bring him over often to stimulate him. Perhaps a miracle might happen."Hearing this, Evelyn was rattled. Even if there was just a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't give up.She immediately held Havyn in her arms and
The next day, Evelyn met with Nathan in the president's office of the Zero Group.She knocked on the office door and entered. What caught her eye immediately was a tall and upright figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.Nathan, dressed in a white shirt and gray trousers, took a drag from the cigarette in his hand, looking weary.When Evelyn walked in, a glimmer of light briefly flashed in those deep eyes, but it quickly disappeared.He put out his cigarette, walked toward Evelyn, and wore a slight smile on his lips. In a gentle yet slightly husky voice, he said, "Ms. Jefferson, I've heard great things about you."Evelyn politely extended her hand, smiling and nodding. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Holland."When their hands touched, Evelyn inexplicably felt a sharp sensation, as if something had pricked her fingertip.It felt like a faint electric current spreading from her fingertips throughout her entire body. This tingling sensation felt both familiar and not to her.She h
