The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 320

Not to mention, it was her.

When it came to Dahlia, Charles always had her back. "I can't possibly let him out to hurt you," Charles insisted.

"Charles, haven't you been the one to hurt me the most?" Evelyn shot back, her words as cold as ice.

Charles looked visibly uncomfortable. "What do you want me to do to make it up to you?"

"Stay out of Wesley's business."

Evelyn wasn't the emotional wreck she had been two years ago, demanding Charles and Dahlia pay for their wrongs. She had been waiting for him to make things right.

"You want to make it up to me, right? How can you not agree to something so simple?" Evelyn's voice was even colder now, laced with a hint of sarcasm.

Charles studied Evelyn. Her gaze was calm, not just a ploy to avoid entanglements. She genuinely wanted Wesley out. But why?

"Alright."

Seeing her determination, Charles gave in. Satisfied with his answer, Evelyn turned to leave.

Just then, her phone rang. Seeing it was the hospital, she picked up immediately.

It was the nurse caring for Josephine, her voice urgent. "Ms. Evelyn, you need to come to the hospital quickly; your mother has been taken to the emergency room..."

The word "emergency room" sent Evelyn into a daze; her legs turned to jelly, and she nearly fell.

Charles caught her just in time, steadying her in his arms.

"No, Ms. Evelyn, but don't worry. Your mom will be okay," the nurse tried to reassure her.

Evelyn nodded, choking back a sob, her eyes locked on the emergency room doors.

"Eve, don't worry. I'm here," Charles said softly, trying to comfort her.

Evelyn ignored him. When Charles tried to put an arm around her, she stepped away. He didn't push further, just stood by her side, waiting.

The emergency room doors suddenly opened. Evelyn rushed forward, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

"The situation is quite critical," Dr. Andrew said, casting a glance at Charles behind Evelyn and giving him a nod.

Evelyn's face turned pale at the word "critical," and she swayed. Charles steadied her with a hand on her waist, keeping her upright.
