Chapter 385

As Evangeline reached for the door, Minnie's mocking laugh cut through the air.

"I get what you're saying, Evangeline, but believing it is another story. Remember how you talked the first time we met? What happened instead? You silently got pregnant with Walter's kid. Does that sound like someone who wants a divorce? How naive must I be to keep taking your word for it?"

"Enough!" Walter's voice boomed, cutting off Minnie.

He had kept quiet, wanting to see just how indifferent Evangeline could be.

However, as her hand touched the doorknob, a wave of loss hit him like a ton of bricks. In that fleeting instant, he sensed Evangeline was gone for good.

The explanation he had kept to himself was down to its last chance.

Minnie picked up on Walter's annoyance and clamped her mouth shut, careful not to push him further.

Then…

"Evangeline, wait."

Her name, called out so suddenly, made Evangeline freeze mid-step.

Ignoring the bandages crisscrossing his back, Walter sprang from the bed.
