“Got it." After hanging up the phone, Sheffield took a pen from his pocket, caught the cap in his teeth and held her hand. Regardless of her reluctance, he wrote a string of numbers on her palm, and tucked the pen back in his pocket.

“That's my number. I'm wanted in surgery. Text me or call me-I need to know what ward you're in. I'll come visit after I'm done. Got it?"

He kissed her forehead.

"Call me. I have to go."

He left in a hurry.

Looking at the phone number on her palm, Evelyn repeated it in her mind many times.

Still worried, Matthew returned to the garden after using the bathroom, but he didn't see Sheffield. When he saw his sister, he said, "Eve, let's head back to the ward

Evelyn said nothing and sat back in her wheelchair

Carlos had just come to her room with steaming boxes of lunch and

Terilynn. When Terilynn saw her sister, she started unpacking the food.

“Eve, Dad asked the nutritionist to cook you lunch. Have some soup first. It'll help you heal."

Evelyn sat down at the dining table and suddenly said, “Dad, I promise you. I'll go to America to recuperate."

Carlos was pouring her a bowl of soup at the time. When he heard her words, he paused and waited for her to continue.

And he was right.

“But you have to back off. Don’t have your men spy on me or anything. I did it willingly. He didn't even know I was pregnant at all. And back then, we...used condoms. And don't blame Tayson, either. He just obeyed my orders."

“No way!" Carlos turned her down without hesitation.

The whole ward fell silent.

Looking at Carlos’ deadpan face, Terilynn was too scared to utter a single word.

Carlos' attitude towards Evelyn upset Matthew, but he didn't say anything.

“Fine. I'm checking out. And I'm moving out. I'm not coming back home until I get some respect

Carlos didn't expect that Evelyn would give him that kind of ultimatum.

He thought only Terilynn would do such a thing.

Before answering Evelyn, Carlos cast a burning glance at Terilynn. He assumed it was her influence.

Glared at by her father, Terilynn was confused. What did it have to do with her?

"I'm your dad! I won't allow you to move out! You have no right to dictate to me. Your baby's daddy, and Tayson, I'll do what I want to them!" How could that guy hurt Evelyn like this! Carlos swore that he would do something to make him pay.
