The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 369

Since being admitted to the hospital, Josephine had been nothing but cooperative. But today, she ignored Andrew's instructions and fiercely resisted when the nurse tried to approach her.

"Don't touch me!" she snapped, her voice sharp with defiance.

Her reaction was so intense that Andrew, worried about her condition, quickly gestured for the nurse to open the emergency room door. As soon as it opened, he wheeled Josephine out swiftly.

Seeing Evelyn waiting outside, he wasted no time. "Ms. Evelyn, your mother suddenly wants to leave the hospital. Please talk to her. This is a critical time for her recovery. She needs to stay here to get strong enough for the surgery next month."

"I already said, I won't go through with the surgery," Josephine insisted, her voice firm. She had no intention of staying in the hospital any longer. Charles wasn't going to use her as leverage over Evelyn anymore.

"Mom, nothing matters more than your health," Evelyn pleaded, tears brimming in her eyes. She held Josephine's hand tightly, her voice trembling. "Mom, I've already lost Charlie. I can't lose you too."

To Evelyn, her mother was her entire world. If enduring Charles's antics meant her mother's health would improve, she'd do it without hesitation.

Josephine's eyes filled with tears, her heart aching at her daughter's words. She held Evelyn's hand, which was cold from worry, and saw the desperate plea in her eyes. Josephine was torn. She couldn't bear to sacrifice Evelyn's happiness for her own health, but seeing Evelyn so upset made it hard to stand by her decision.

"I won't pressure Evelyn anymore. Please stay here and focus on getting better," Evelyn urged.
