"Miss Alexander, that's not true. Back then, Mister Baxter had wrongfully imprisoned Miss Pettis. He was the one who was at fault initially," said Robbie. He could not let Angelica blame Everly for everything."In fact, the both of them are in love. There were just too many misunderstandings between them.""Miss Alexander, please calm down. There was someone out there trying to kill Miss Pettis. We have to find the culprit. There's no use being angry with her right now!" Robbie continued.However, Angelica was not persuaded. "I don't care what happened to them back then. I just know that since she appeared, my son has been in trouble over and over again! All because of her!" she scolded Everly while pointing at her."Get out of here!"Angelica continued, "You don't have any right to be here! I'm Carson's mother, and I can take care of him. He doesn't need you here. Get out!""Please don't be so angry, Miss Alexander. You'll grow older like this," said Robbie. He looked at Everly
In a blink of an eye, Annie and Austin had arrived at the Cannesville Primary Hospital's surgical department. Annie was about to call Robbie when she saw him from afar, but he quickly gave her the silent hand gesture and quickly glanced at Angelica. He then walked quickly in their direction."Robbie, now..."Before Annie could finish her sentence, she was dragged into a corner by Robbie.Austin could not hold it any longer. He asked, "Robbie, what happened? Where's Everly?"Annie also nodded and said, "Who is in the operating room? Isn't it…"She did not complete her words, but she was obviously asking if it was Everly."Don't worry, the person in the operating room is not Miss Pettis, but Mister Baxter. You should already know about the car accident. It was Mister Baxter who saved Miss Pettis, but he got badly injured in the process," Robbie said assuringly.Austin breathed a sigh of relief, but Annie was still looking anxious. She asked, "Where's Everly? Why isn't she with you
Both Annie and Austin were walking quickly. They eventually reached the exit door at the end.Austin reached out and pushed the door open. As the two of them entered the door, the sensor light lit up, illuminating everything inside.Following the bloodstains earlier, Annie saw a pair of feet at the end of the trail.Those feet were bare, with scars on them. There were even stones and little glass fragments penetrating through the skin, causing a lot of bleeding."Everly!" Annie exclaimed.Everly was huddled in a corner alone. Just as the middle-aged lady had said, her body was drenched in blood, forming a little red pool around her on the floor where she sat.Everly raised her head as she heard Annie's voice. Her forehead was bleeding as well, staining half of her face.She was still crying, tears flowing out of her eyes incessantly."Everly!" Austin called out to her in a frightened tone.He immediately went over to carry her up and headed towards the doctor's office."Everl
Annie finally understood Everly's behavior.However…She walked out of the doctor's office and came to the door of the ward. Through the gap in the door, she saw Austin sitting next to Everly's bed.Would Austin let her go?Back in the days in Strandia, Everly had only treated Austin as a friend. However, she was more than just a friend to him.If Everly was moved by Carson and decided to get back together with him, what would Austin do?And then, there were the Logans.Everly was destined to be inseparable from them.Buzz...Annie's phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly covered her phone and left for an open space nearby. She saw that it was a call from Robbie. She paused for a moment and clicked the answer button."Hello?""Annie, I'm Robbie. Have you found Miss Pettis?" He seemed to have lowered his voice whilst talking on the phone."I found her. Her wounds are being treated. She just got sedated and fell asleep. She has a slight fever at the moment, but the doctor said
Alice paused for a moment and said, "No thanks, Aunt Baxter. Now that I know that Violet is Everly… I don't think I want to do this anymore.""Don't worry, Alice. Neither Violet nor Everly is my favorite daughter-in-law. Carson is weak and injured now, and I've chased Everly away. This is a perfect chance for you! When Carson sees you the moment he wakes up, he must…""Aunt Baxter," Alice interrupted before Angelica could finish."I no longer have the confidence, and… I don't want to be the third wheel and meddle with other people's feelings.""Alice...""Aunt Baxter, I gotta go. Talk to you soon." Alice did not even give Angelica the chance to speak and hung up the phone.The whole room was silent, except for the sound of raindrops hitting incessantly on the window.Alice held her phone tightly as she locked herself in the room.She had intervened in other people's relationships in the past. For Carson, Alice would do anything to be with him. She did not care that she carried
The drama had stirred up countless discussions among the citizens."I think Mister Baxter is true to Violet. He even got himself hurt in the process! This is true love. She should be able to replace Everly!""But what Violet did was too much. Miss Alexander won't just let her go that easily. Moreover, she prefers Alice over her.""Don't forget about Everly! She may be dead, but she had left him a son! This is a fact that we cannot ignore!"In the midst of the discussions, a man was watching silently from a corner. His face was unfathomable.…The rainy storm got stronger. The heavy downpour slapped onto the windows of the hospital ward, producing incessant clattering noises.Everly was lying on the hospital bed, but she did not sleep soundly.She felt as if she was in the dark, and the only thing she could see was the back of a man not too far away.The man did not turn around. Everly could not see his face clearly. Not knowing what was going on, she just followed him in silen
"Why do you still care about him?!" Austin held Everly's hand tightly. He looked into her eyes and said, "Is there really no one else other than him?!""Austin..." muttered Everly. Austin seemed strange and scary at that moment. She wanted to break free from him. "Let me go!" she exclaimed."No! I'm not letting go!" scolded Austin. He stood up and looked down at her angrily. He held her wrist with one hand and pointed at himself with the other. "All these years… You were always going after him, and he had been changing girlfriends all the time! What has he done for you?!""You…""He may have saved you today, but don't forget that he had sent you to prison back then. He was the one who had brought so much suffering into your life! Till now, you still couldn't even be together with Oliver. It's all because of him!" Austin got more emotional as he spoke.He pushed Everly back to the hospital bed. "Where was he when you needed him? Where was when you were in trouble? Where was he when
Everly knew what Austin said was the truth.To her, Austin was like a big brother companion.As for Carson… He was more than just a brother.Austin's madness was something Everly did not expect. His tantrum was making her feel even more confused. The world in her head was all a mess right now.She looked at Austin and said anxiously, "Bro… Mister Samberg, please don't misunderstand. I've been very grateful for everything you've done for me. I…""Then what do I get in return?!" Austin was even more furious now. Did she just call him Mister Samberg?"I..." stammered Everly. She could not think of anything to answer him. Austin had been so kind to her all the while. She knew that her personal wealth alone was not enough to repay him. She was at a loss for words. Looking at his angry face, she quickly said, "What is it that you want? I will do my best to repay you…""Good!" Austin stared at her with his teary eyes. He pinched her chin and said, "I want to be together with you.""Wh
