Evelyn grabbed the report and was also surprised by the results.The initial purpose of doing a paternity test was to prove that Ivy was Simon's daughter. But Evelyn never expected that they weren't related at all.But Ivy was clearly Xena's daughter and was born the same year as Evelyn. Back then, Xena was pregnant with Ivy, but she was never Simon's to begin with.Evelyn quickly gathered her thoughts, and her hatred for Xena deepened even further.It turned out Xena had been deceiving Simon from the very beginning. She said that he had to marry her because she was carrying his child and that he had no other choice.Simon had been upset with her many times over the years, and their neighbors even mocked them because of her inappropriate behavior.Evelyn felt heartbroken about the life Simon had had. Although he was a kind person, his life was ruined because of a woman.Thinking about this, Evelyn glared coldly at Ivy.Her voice was utterly cold as she said, "Do you get it now?
Xena schemed against Simon back then. She was obviously pregnant with another man's child, yet she made Simon take responsibility. This led to his breakup with his first love.But even after getting married, Xena didn't appreciate her relationship with Simon and often cheated on him.This malicious woman had ruined Simon's entire life. Thinking about this, Evelyn couldn't help but feel it was unfair for her father.At that moment, she received a call from William.Rapid breathing greeted her as soon as she picked the call up. "Ms. Evie, Mr. Jefferson has hope! I've found the miracle worker!"Hearing this, Evelyn's eyes widened in disbelief. "Really?""Do you remember when Warren and I went to Zyldrica to get a doctor for Mr. Jefferson? We were caught up in the war halfway, and Warren got injured. A female doctor from Doctors Without Borders saved him."Evelyn's phone volume was high, so Nathan, who stood behind her, could hear everything clearly. He couldn't help but ask, "Are y
Nathan did not resist but let out a low laugh instead."Do you have any idea where the last person who treated me this way is now?"William wasn't intimidated by his threats at all. He looked at Nathan coldly and asked again, "How do you know Sophie Harker? What is your real intention in getting close to Ms. Evie?"Nathan chuckled lightly. "Because I discovered that Sophie's mother was the miracle worker. I came here today to tell Evelyn about this, but it looks like you beat me to it.""Then, tell me that village's name and location.""In Riton City, 250 miles from here, there's a place called Cherryseed Village in Beckinford Town. The miracle worker there is called Erica Dawson, right?"When William heard that, he looked at Nathan with some suspicion.He thought this situation was too much of a coincidence. They had spent two years looking for the miracle worker without success, but Nathan found them in less than a week.If that was really the case, then Nathan must have a ve
But this was his first time meeting Nathan, so why were they getting along so well?She went over to the bedside and called out in a deep voice, "Havyn."Seeing she had returned, Havyn immediately climbed down from Nathan's lap, ran to her side, and hugged her leg, "Aunt Evelyn, I missed you so much. Did you miss me, too?"Evelyn bent down and hugged him tightly. Pressing her forehead against his, she said, "Of course I missed you. Why did you come here by yourself?""Mom took Albert for a follow-up appointment, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I came over by myself. But don't worry, Aunt Evelyn. A nurse brought me here."Hearing him say that, Evelyn finally felt relieved.She pinched his little nose and said, "I have to go pick up a doctor for Grandpa, so you might not see me for the next few days. Don't miss me too much, okay?"Havyn nodded understandingly. "Hurry back, Aunt Evelyn. I'm still waiting to celebrate my birthday with you."Upon hearing these words, Evelyn's exp
The person was holding a weak flashlight, seemingly looking for something. She kept shouting, "Patches! Patches, where are you?"Suddenly, a small creature darted out from the bushes, brushing past Evelyn's thigh as it raced by.Frightened, Evelyn let out a scream and quickly turned around, throwing herself into Nathan's arms.Nathan stood protectively in front of her and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. It's just a kitten."Only then did Evelyn finally dare to open her eyes. She saw the person across from her squat down and pick up the kitten, holding it gently in her arms.At that moment, the person seemed to notice them and briefly shone her flashlight on them. She asked, "Are you here to see Dr. Dawson?"When William heard this, he immediately ran over. "Yes. Where does Dr. Dawson live?"It was only upon closer inspection that William realized the person was a woman in her 20s. Wearing simple coarse clothing, with her hair messily draped over her shoulders, she looked
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,
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
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
