The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 59

Evelyn shook her head, her eyes quietly reddening.

"Grandma, when did you wake up? How come you've returned home by yourself? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, dear. Tough as ever!"

Rosa took Evelyn's hand, patting it reassuringly.

...

On the third floor, in Charles' room, Sandy had cried herself to sleep.

Dahlia was heartbroken and wiped away her tears.

A servant came knocking. "Mr. Charles, Mrs. Jenkins requests your and Ms. Dahlia's presence downstairs."

Charles suddenly stood up. "Grandma's back?"

A spark of joy was evident in his eyes as he put Sandy down and headed downstairs.

Dahlia, however, had a completely different reaction. She felt like she had plunged into icy waters.

All she could think about was how Rosa had managed to come back.

Wasn't she supposed to be in a coma?

With her return, would the truth about what happened five years ago become impossible to hide?

Dahlia was engulfed in immense panic.

...

As Charles came downstairs and saw Rosa, he strode forward, calling out with a deep voice, "Grandma!"

His voice could barely hide his excitement. Seeing his grandmother awake after two years filled Charles with joy.

Rosa was also thrilled to hear Charles' voice. He was her most cherished grandson. But the moment she saw Dahlia following behind him, her face darkened, displeasure written all over her face.

She coldly glanced at the two, turning her gaze away disdainfully and gripping Evelyn's hand tighter. She continually patted it, trying to offer comfort.

Rosa knew how much Eve loved Charles and could imagine how hurt she must be seeing Charles and Dahlia together.
