CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 843

Seeing how firmly Suzy insisted that Serena was the culprit, Simon didn’t argue further.

He let out a long sigh. "Maybe you’re right. Like you said, the evidence does point to her."

"I’ll find a way to make her confess," Suzy said with quiet determination.

As they spoke, a loud crash came from Evangeline’s room.

"Her state of mind has been getting worse," Simon said, his voice filled with worry.

"Suzy, please go in and talk to her. She can't see me right now—every time she does, she gets more agitated and keeps saying she's sorry."

He ran a hand over his face.

"I think she feels guilty about losing the baby, like she’s somehow let me down. But that’s not true. It wasn’t her fault. I wish she’d understand that."

Suzy reached out to squeeze her brother's arm. "Don't worry. I'll go talk to her. And if it doesn’t work… I can always use hypnosis to help her temporarily forget the trauma."

"Yes… just do whatever you think will help. We're still young. We can always have more kids.”

Suzy opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself.

He didn't know. He didn't know that Evangeline would never be able to have another child again.

Now wasn’t the time to tell him.

They were already drowning in enough grief.

She wanted to let them find their footing first before breaking the news after they became mentally stronger.

Another crash echoed from inside the room.

"Go, quickly!" Simon urged, his worry deepening.

Suzy hurried in.

The moment she stepped inside, Evangeline turned her back toward the door.

"I told you to get out! I don’t want to see you!" Her voice was hoarse with tears.

"I know losing the baby has been unbearable, but it’s already happened. All we can do now is try to accept it."

She sat beside her and held her hand tightly.

"And, you know, my brother's worried sick about you. He’s been pacing outside, desperate to help but afraid to come in. That’s why he called me."

Suzy’s voice softened further. "But, honestly, none of this is your fault. If anything, it’s mine."

Evangeline’s brows furrowed. "What? Suzy, no—"

"It is," Suzy insisted.

"If I’d reacted faster, maybe I could’ve stopped it from happening. So, if you need to let out your anger, go ahead.

“Yell at me, hit me if it helps. Just… don’t blame yourself. Please."

"No, no!" Evangeline shook her head, tears slipping down her cheeks again.

"This isn’t your fault. I chose to protect you. You're Simon's sister, and that makes you my sister too. How could I stand by and do nothing when you were in danger?"
