The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 236

These three words hit Charles like daggers, cutting deep into his heart. He staggered, unable to bear the weight of them. After a moment, he finally looked up, eyes red and teary, as he took Charlie's death certificate from Evelyn's hands. His gaze landed on the cause of death: kidney failure. It felt like a cement block was sitting on his chest, heavy and suffocating, making it hard to breathe. Charlie was really gone. His daughter was dead.

In a voice barely above a whisper, Charles asked, "Where is Charlie buried?" He needed to see her.

Evelyn looked at him, her eyes cold and emotionless. "Charles, you don’t deserve to see Charlie. Don’t taint her journey to the afterlife."

Charles, who had always sided with and protected the person responsible for Charlie’s death, had no right to visit her. With that, Evelyn turned and left. She had come to ensure Charles learned of Charlie's death in the harshest way possible, not just through a simple message from Rosa. She wanted him to suffer.

As for Dahlia, Evelyn didn’t expect Charles to seek justice for Charlie or confront the woman he loved. Now Rosa was awake, so she could take care of things as long as she recovered. Evelyn had given up on Charles.

Charles didn’t stop Evelyn. He saw the intense resentment she bore toward him for failing Charlie, which led to her death. He was consumed by seeing Charlie, and everything else faded into the background. Clutching the death certificate, he called out, "Aiden."

Aiden stepped forward immediately. "Mr. Jenkins, I've had all the cemeteries in the Capital checked. We should soon know where Miss Charlie is buried."
