Evelyn go through because of him?

“About three months after she came home. No one knew she was pregnant, not even her. She started hemorrhaging in the meeting room, and by the time she got to your hospital, she'd already gone into shock." Matthew stressed the words “your hospital," implying Sheffield could Look into it himself if he didn't believe it.

“Wait..." ‘Three months...‘ Sheffield suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Evelyn after he got back from Flando was in the hospital. Evelyn was in a standard patient's gown and looked very weak back then, 'So maybe that's why she was there, ' he mused.

"An ectopic pregnancy...’ He ransacked his memories, searching for the answer. He vaguely remembered a few nurses talking about something Like that. The eldest daughter of a rich family...He hadn't made the connection then, but it must be Evelyn!

He also remembered he cursed the woman's husband. What bad Luck! What was he thinking? ‘A jerk? That's right, I called the man a jerk. Well, not out loud. But I thought it.'

It turned out the woman was none other than Evelyn, the eldest daughter of the Hilton family. And the jerk was undoubtedly him. And he felt

Like one, now.

His guilt towards Evelyn was beyond belief. The word "jerk" was not an apt descriptor.

He was worse than that.

The guilty man remained silent. Matthew also kept silent. He just watched Sheffield as he tried to process everything, lost in his memories.

After a long while, Sheffield scratched his short hair and said in a low voice, "I knew your sister was in the hospital then. I bumped into her, but I had a surgery scheduled, so I gave her my number hoping that she'd call or text or something. But she didn't. Then she took off and didn't tell me. I tried to pull her medical records, but couldn't find them." He didn't tell Matthew that he had tried to Look for Evelyn the old fashioned way, going from one room to another. He was going to bring it up, and decided against it.

“We registered her under a fake name. Dad didn't want any news of her pregnancy getting out." That was why Sheffield couldn't find Evelyn, no matter how hard he tried.

"Makes sense.' Sheffield understood immediately.

He Looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath to suppress the pain in his heart.

“It's my fault." He felt sorry for hurting Evelyn Like that.

He finally understood why Carlos hated him so much, and why he'd done everything to keep Sheffield and Evelyn apart. Carlos was afraid he would hurt his daughter again.

Leaning against the back of the sofa with his eyes closed, he held back the tears in his eyes. He really wanted to see Evelyn right now. He wanted to hold her...

The guilt and pain Sheffield felt were obvious. He felt bad, and it showed. The younger man still kept an expressionless face.

"So leave

Evelyn alone. You don't deserve her at all. Just go away."

"No. That's impossible. I love her." Sheffield had never thought of giving up on her before, but now he was even more committed to being with her.

“Dude! She'll be engaged. To Calvert! You want to ruin that? You want to have an affair with her? You wanna be the other man? Know what that will do to her rep?"

"I won't let anyone say anything bad about her!"

“So what? People won't say anything in front of you, but there's always social media. And even behind your back."

After a short pause, Sheffield sat up straight and looked at Matthew.
