The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 456

Evelyn couldn't hide her shock as she looked up at Charles.

"Eve, I'm telling the truth. I didn't lie to you. The moment another matching kidney was found, I switched it out so Sandy could have it," Charles said earnestly, meeting Evelyn's gaze. "I know what you and Adam are worried about. If there had been any other option, I would never have chosen Adam to donate his kidney to Sandy."

"It was never my intention to force him," Charles continued, trying to show Evelyn just how sincere he was. He hoped she would understand why he did what he did. From the start, he never wanted to use Adam's kidney. If he had, he wouldn't have bothered telling them, letting them decide for themselves. He had been searching for a suitable donor all along. But when Sandy's situation became critical, he felt he had no choice but to pressure Adam.

"The things I said in the hospital weren't true. I'd never harm you, and Adam is your close friend; I'd never really hurt him either," he admitted, knowing full well how Adam felt about Eve. Saying those things was the only way to get Adam to agree to sign the voluntary donation agreement.

Evelyn let out a cold laugh, unimpressed by Charles's heartfelt confession. She saw right through his words.

So, he acted as if he didn't know. If he truly hadn't known, maybe it would be forgivable. But the fact that he was fully aware and still made those choices was unforgivable. She looked at Charles with icy eyes and said, "Charles, are you expecting me to thank you for not using Adam's kidney in the end?"

"That's not what I meant!" Charles protested, his brows knitting together. He was just stating the facts.

"Charles, I get what you're trying to say. You're saying all this to ease your conscience, aren't you? But do you really think you deserve that?"

"Do you honestly believe that just because you switched donors at the last minute and didn't use Adam's kidney, everything's all good now?"
