The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 439

Charles secretly hoped that Evelyn wouldn’t let her issues with the adults spill over onto young Sandy. Still, if Evelyn decided to act on her anger and stop Adam from donating his kidney to Sandy, Charles wouldn’t stand in her way. Sandy still had time, and Charles was ready to pull out all the stops to find a suitable kidney match.

Charles’s words darkened Adam and Evelyn’s faces instantly. Frustrated, Adam hurled his pen across the room. He felt a wave of disgust wash over him. He had nearly donated a kidney to the daughter of the woman who almost wrecked Charlie’s life. If Dahlia was the villain and her daughter Sandy was truly innocent, he might have considered it. But Sandy, even as a child, had plotted against Charlie, causing him grief time and again. This kid was trouble through and through.

Adam wasn’t selfless enough to give up a part of himself for someone who didn’t deserve it. “Donate to Sandy? Not a chance!” Adam declared firmly, grabbing the agreement and tearing it to shreds. “Evelyn, let’s go.”

Adam took Evelyn’s hand and headed for the door. “Eve.” Charles reached out, trying to stop Evelyn. But Evelyn shook off his hand with disdain. She didn’t need to say a word—her expression said it all. Sandy’s fate didn’t matter to her.

Seeing Evelyn’s determined look, Charles didn’t push further. Her hatred for Dahlia and Sandy ran even deeper than he’d thought. Letting go, he watched them leave. Adam and Evelyn informed the staff of their decision not to donate. The staff didn’t push back—it was, after all, their choice. In situations like this, a donor could change their mind at any time.
