"But what are you hoping for? It's never going to happen!"Evangeline was his to protect, and he would be darned if he let that jerk get his hands on her again.…At Sunnybrook Medical Center.Walter snapped awake in the middle of his check-up, only to pass out again once he was sure Evangeline was safe.The final verdict? A few cuts and bruises were the least of it—he had a severe concussion and three broken ribs.Evangeline's check-up came back clean with no physical injuries, but she was nonetheless mentally shaken up.Why the severe concussion for Walter?He had used his arms to shield Evangeline instead of his own head.Why would he do such a thing? Evangeline was dying to shake Walter awake and ask him…Why did he go to such lengths to protect her? Did he not value his own life?The danger had been real, and his head had taken quite the beating against the jagged rocks.It was clear that if he had not been holding onto her, he could have dodged the blows…So, it was

Chapter 772

In the hospital room, Walter, who was badly hurt, slowly woke up.He saw Evangeline's face, pale and worried, and the memory of their tumble down the hillside hit him like a flash."Evangeline…" he said, breaking into a cough. "Are you okay?"Talking hurt like crazy because of his broken ribs, but he kept on. "Why are you just sitting here? Didn't you get checked out?"Walter was getting anxious, even trying to sit up to make Evangeline go.However, Evangeline, knowing how badly hurt he was, would not let him move recklessly. "Stay put, I'm fine, I got checked out. But you...""Cough, cough! I'm fine."Walter's weak cough brought up a taste of blood, but he swallowed it down as if it were nothing.To him, this pain was nothing compared to Evangeline's worry."What do you mean 'fine'? You've broken three ribs. You need to take it easy, got it?"She was already worried about him, and then she felt guilty since he got hurt because of her."I got it." Walter's response was casua

Chapter 773

The sharp words of blame, once as cutting as dueling swords, then seemed to vanish into thin air. Evangeline's heart, which had been still and quiet, began to beat again, softly but surely, as everything around her subtly shifted."I don't need your apology, Walter," said Evangeline, fighting to keep her roiling emotions from showing, trying to seem unaffected. "I brought this upon myself. We've ended up here today, and really, there's no one else to blame."She had thrown herself at him, insisting that Walter leave Julia and marry her. It was only natural that she did not receive the love of her husband in return."However, why are you still here at Aurora Mountain today? Why follow me and Hank? And why, when I tumbled down that slope, did you leap after me to save me?"She was not naive.Her fall was a complete accident, one that even Hank did not see coming. Even so, Walter, who had been at a distance, did not hesitate to jump after her the moment she fell.That only pointed t

Chapter 774

"Do you understand why I'm asking you this?"Evangeline dabbed at her tears, sitting stiffly across from Walter.Her eyes, shimmering with unshed tears, and her slightly puffy eyelids could not hide her beauty."After all these years, Walter, I thought... I thought you actually cared about me."'Do you even realize how much your caring means to me?'It might be a tiny fraction of the attention Julia got, but for Evangeline, who had never been the apple of Walter's eye, it was the kind of warmth she had longed for, the kind she had never been able to earn, no matter how hard she tried."You're imagining things."Walter dismissed the idea without a second thought.Memories flooded Walter's mind. Evangeline was supposed to be with Alex, but somehow, she ended up with him. He had the exact same face as Alex, and it was an easy mistake to make.He kept convincing himself that Evangeline was only asking if he cared about her to rub salt in the wound, just like she used to.Evange

Chapter 775

After Walter's rescue, Evangeline was ready to bare her soul to him, but what did she get for it? Nothing but a cruel illusion.She had only humiliated herself!'Evangeline, you can't keep doing this to yourself. It's not just your reputation on the line, but the whole Foster family's!' she thought with a heavy heart.After Evangeline stormed out, Roslyn knew she could not linger in the hospital room either. They left Walter's room one after the other.Roslyn could not hold back any longer and reached out to grab Evangeline's hand, pulling her into a tight hug. "Evie, do you need to cry? Go ahead and cry if you need to."She was aware of how deeply Evangeline cared for Walter, but she had not realized the depth of her feelings until then. Walter had barely shown a flicker of concern, and Evangeline's whole demeanor had shifted.Was her barrage of questions to Walter not like a roundabout way of confessing her feelings?"I won't cry. I don't need to cry." Evangeline's voice was f

Chapter 776

"Yeah, got it."A spark flickered in Evangeline's eyes, but she quickly wiped away her tears and hid her tear-stained face in Roslyn's arms.She was not being overly sensitive; it was just that Yale and Hank had shown up. If they saw her like that, they would definitely want to know what was up.If Yale went into big-brother mode, Walter would be in for it.Not that she cared about Walter. She just wanted to be done with him, like he said—no strings attached.If Yale went after Walter to defend her, they would be right back in the middle of a mess.Right on cue, Yale's voice, full of concern, reached her ears. "What's wrong?"Roslyn signaled him with a hand gesture to keep it down, pulling Evangeline closer, and mouthed silently, "We'll talk at home."Yale and Hank got the message—Evangeline was upset over that jerk Walter again.Roslyn tried to sound relaxed as she said, "Evie's okay, just a little shaken up. She even said she felt dizzy earlier. Tell you what, I'll take her

Chapter 777

Walter watched Yale's entrance, not even slightly taken aback.With the Foster brothers' reputation for sticking together, Yale's reaction to finding out about the bullying was to be expected.However, Yale just sat there, glaring daggers at him, silent as the grave. It was like waiting on death row without knowing the date of his execution—the uncertainty was terrifying.Walter decided to break the ice. "Spit it out, Uncle Yale. What's on your mind?"He doubted a man as busy as Yale would waste time just to exchange glares."You really don't know what I want to say? And another thing: stop calling me Uncle Yale. I don't want your respect!" Yale's voice was icy, his eyes ablaze with anger."I figured as much. Evangeline and I were married, after all. I think I've earned the right to call you uncle." Walter shot back just as quickly."Cough, cough!"He held his chest, coughing hard twice, and with effort, he sat up to face Yale. Their eyes locked, and Walter's gaze overflowed wi

Chapter 778

"Walter, what are you getting at? Is there trouble at Gordon Group?"Walter's track record at Gordon Group was no secret. That 18-year-old, armed with only his basic college knowledge, had taken the reins of Gordon Group and steered it to success, even outshining Alex in some respects.Walter's silence spoke volumes. His eyes cast downward, and his forlorn expression painted a picture of a thousand words.Ups and downs were part of the business game; nobody won every battle. However, he could not let Evangeline find out about it, not in a million years.Those words Evangeline had said, they were as clear as day to him—how could they be anything but a confession?Holding back the surge of excitement was torture, so intense that he felt like shouting it out to the heavens!He had been skeptical at first, but Yale's unwavering certainty had convinced him: Evangeline's heart had always been his.However, the memory of his own failings haunted him. He had let her down time and again

Chapter 779

"I've got Evie's back," said Yale with a firm nod.He rose to leave, but at the door, he could not resist a final glance at the man in the hospital bed."Walter, I've got to be honest: you're not who I had in mind for Evie's forever guy. But what can I do? My niece has made up her mind."With a heavy sigh, Yale left him with one last thought. "You can reach me anytime, day or night. My phone is always on."'Thanks, Uncle Yale,' thought Walter, wishing he could say it out loud. However, Yale had already left the room, and Walter's condition did not allow for shouting.Men did not need many words to understand each other. A simple 'anytime' was enough for Walter to know that Yale might not want to dig into the Gordon Group's troubles, but he would always be there to back them up.How could Walter not be touched by such a family leader, such a supportive elder?It was just too bad he had realized everything too late—Evangeline's feelings, the betrayal in Gordon Group.Walter glanc

Chapter 780

Yale's brow creased as he mulled it over before he said, "Just let him be."Walter was not the type to be reckless. Maybe something was up with Gordon Group?He then rang up Holden, his younger brother. "Holden, can you dig up what's going on with Walter?"Holden was at the Fosters' old place, hanging with Evangeline. The thought of the guy who made his favorite niece bawl made him see red."Why should I bother with Walter after he's been such a jerk to our Evie?"Yale felt rather stuck, not knowing what to say, so he confessed, "There might be some big shake-ups coming from Gordon Group, and it could hit our company. Better to get the lowdown now and be ready than to be blindsided later."However, what Yale did not know was that this lit a fire under Holden."Did you catch some juicy gossip or something?"Holden was not in the family business, but he knew that news like that was usually hush-hush.Yale was not about to spill without a solid lead."Don't sweat the details.
