True Love Waits novel Chapter 812

Evelyn had only been in D City for half a month, yet she had ended up like this. Terilynn blamed herself. Perhaps she shouldn't have recommended that Evelyn go to D City. If she had gone somewhere else, such things would not have happened.

Evelyn hugged Debbie and said, "Mom, I know. I'm tired and want to rest for a while. You should go home now."

Debbie sighed and turned to her younger kids. "Matthew, you go to school. Terilynn, go home. I'll stay here and take care of Piggy."

Matthew left the ward with Terilynn. Debbie helped Evelyn into bed and watched her fall asleep before she went to see the attending physician.

The moment Debbie left the room, Evelyn opened her eyes.

She lifted her hand from under the bed cover and stared at the string of numbers on her palm, blankly.

'Should I call him?' she wondered.

For a moment, she really wanted to.

But she quickly changed her mind. She walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. After a short pause and hesitation, she squeezed some liquid soap and finally washed off the numbers.

At that very moment, Carlos was in the Huo family's villa, giving his men orders to either kill or break Sheffield's leg.

By the time Evelyn came back home from the hospital, Tayson had already had his wounds treated and the living room was back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

After making sure that Evelyn was comfortable in her room, Debbie went to Tayson's room. He was lying in his bed with a pale face.

When he heard the knock, he jumped up from the bed and opened the door. "Mrs. Huo?"

Debbie nodded. "Come to the study. I want to ask you something."

"Yes, Mrs. Huo."

In the study

Debbie sat at Carlos' desk and stared at Tayson as he walked in. "Take a seat."

He didn't refuse and sat down opposite her.

She asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I can guess why, Mrs. Huo." Such horrible things had happened to Evelyn on his watch. As her bodyguard, he had failed in his duty.

"I don't think so, Tayson. I just wanted to know if that guy really loves Evelyn. Was she happy or not when she was with him? And was Evelyn telling the truth?" A woman always sees things differently than a man. Debbie thought that maybe Carlos was wrong this time.

Tayson hesitated for a while before replying, "I think Miss Huo was very happy to be with him. At least, she was happier with him than when she had been with her ex-boyfriends. That man did look like the frivolous type in the beginning, but I have a feeling that he is not what people assume he is. His looks are deceiving. He looks like a weak man, but he knows kung fu. At least, he is on par with me. I'm not sure, but he might even be better than me..." After all, he had only fought Sheffield once.

"Does he really like Evelyn?" Debbie asked expectantly. If he didn't like her and just wanted to have sex with her, then she was okay with Carlos having him killed.

"I'm not sure if he likes her, but... Miss Huo likes him very much," Tayson answered honestly.

Debbie muttered glumly, "That is even worse."

Six hours later, Sheffield took off his medical attire and rushed out of the operating room.

"Sheffield, what's wrong? Why are you in a hurry?" Horace, Sheffield's partner in the surgery, asked from behind him.

"Something urgent came up. Take care of the patient while I'm away." The first thing he did after opening his locker was find his phone. He turned on the screen and saw that there were several missed calls, but they were all from people he knew.

And there were no calls or messages from any unknown number. His heart sank at once.
