The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 300

Even though Evelyn had lost her childhood memories and couldn’t remember her mom, her mother recognized her instantly. It was a tearful reunion between mother and daughter.

Her mom stood by her, nurturing and supporting her, and it was this unwavering presence that helped Evelyn truly find her footing again. Evelyn shared that her mom had been searching for her all these years, tirelessly moving from place to place, hoping to find her. She often wondered why her mom hadn’t turned to the media to track her down, especially with today’s tech-savvy world.

Evelyn couldn’t grasp the reason, but he understood. Her aunt feared that Evelyn might be discovered. Evelyn reached out to him because Josephine had fallen ill.

In the parking lot, Evelyn slipped into Brooks’ car. Brooks leaned over, gently buckling her seatbelt. They headed straight to Charlie’s gravesite. Over the past couple of years, Brooks had made frequent visits to Charlie’s resting place. It was only after Evelyn’s “death” that he realized Charlie’s grave had remained untouched all along. That’s when it hit him – the urn Dahlia had wasn’t Charlie’s. She had played on Evelyn’s worry for Charlie, using a lookalike urn to trick her. Charlie was fine, but Dahlia wasn’t – karma had her spending two years in a wheelchair.

Six months back, Brooks and Evelyn crossed paths again. Evelyn was over the moon. In those months, she’d visited Charlie numerous times. After paying their respects, they left the cemetery.

Brooks turned to her and said, “Evelyn, I’ve set up a meeting with Dr. Quinn for you. Get some good rest tonight, and I’ll go with you in the morning.”

“Okay,” Evelyn replied softly.

Evelyn didn’t hesitate to accept. His plan was ideal for her mom. It wasn’t long before Josephine was transferred to Dr. Quinn’s private hospital. Dr. Quinn ran a full examination and laid out a surgical plan. But Josephine’s health wasn’t strong enough for immediate surgery. She needed to stay and recover until her health indicators improved.

Because of this, Evelyn stayed in the Capital. Brooks conveniently owned a place near the private hospital, and for the sake of caring for her mom, Evelyn accepted his kind offer and moved in.

Private hospital costs were steep. That night, Brooks offered her a card, but she politely declined. She had already drained her and Adam’s savings on her own treatment. With her mom’s illness and the urgent need for funds, she was left with no choice but to reach out to Brooks.
