look in his eyes was just short of having “asking for the moon’ written all over his face.Bara choked in one breath, “You!”
Evelina’s tears came down even harder as she spoke through the pain.
“Right in front of you, Lizetta dared to drug me, and you blindly took her side. Tomorrow, she might as well go all the way andforce an abortion pill on me. I’m really scared.”
Evelina, shaky on her feet, stood up, “Better to end it now than to wait for her to make me suffer. Let’s just go to the hospital,
Mom.Elara, supporting Evelina, nodded, “Alright, to the hospital!” +
Kevin's face was also full of fury, “If the kid’s going through hell before even being born, what's the point? I'll contact agynecologist right away.”
He whipped out his phone to make the call, while Elara shouted for the car to be readied. Evelina, being helped to leave, didn’tbelieve for a second that Remington could ignore the baby.
Yet, there he stood, expression cold, without the slightest intention of stopping them.
The three Hawthornes were caught in a tough spot, all wearing ugly expressions. As they passed by Remington, the man stilldidn’t make a peep, standing tall, just coldly watching without batting an eyelid.
Evelina, out of options, crumpled to the ground.“Eve!” Elara exclaimed in shock.
Remington frowned, seeing Evelina lying there as if she had truly fainted. He ordered Cedric to call a doctor, then went forwardto pick Evelina up and carry her back to her room.
He laid Evelina on the bed, ready to stand straight up. But Evelina clutched at the corner of his suit jacket. Remington pausedand said in a deep voice, “Let go.”
Evelina opened her eyes, tears streaming down, “Remington, you can’t be so heartless. You promised to take care of and protectthe baby.”
There was little emotion in Remington's eyes, “I also told you not to provoke Lizetta.”“Il didn't.”Before Evelina could finish, Remington cut her off with a cold voice.
“The hotel surveillance and Liz's glass, you managed to cover your tracks well. But getting sleeping pills in such short notice, youcould only buy them from a nearby drugstore, which isn’t hard to look into.”novelbin
Evelina’s face instantly went pale, realizing Remington had figured it all out a while ago. Evelina felt the icy chill in his eyes; herhand clutching his jacket suddenly let go, “I-I just...”
Remington stood up, his eyes and brows revealing impatience, and a sharp glint passed through his eyes as he interruptedEvelina.
“| don’t want to hear excuses, nor do | like being threatened. The baby isn’t a tool to blackmail me with. Remember today’s slap,got it?”
Evelina felt a chill all over, biting her lip and nodding instinctively. Remington withdrew his gaze and stepped
out.
Elara and Kevin were still waiting at the door, unhappy to see Remington just walk away, but were stopped
by Evelina.
Remington left the Hawthorne family estate, got into his car, and rubbed his temples, instructing the driver to go.Lizetta arrived just in time to see Remington leaving the Hawthorne family estate.
Remington had indeed come to visit Evelina. Lucky she found him. Lizetta hurriedly told the taxi to follow, not expecting thatRemington would return to Oakridge Heights.
Had he been living here this whole time? This was their marital home. He used to refuse to come back, but now, was it becauseshe was no longer there that he moved back in? Or?
Standing outside Oakridge Heights once again, Lizetta felt a mix of emotions. Especially thinking back to just over an hour ago inthe hotel room, when she gave Remington the cold shoulder, wishing never to have anything to do with him again.
Yet in a blink, she was seeking him out. Lizetta’s heart was more tangled than ever. She hesitated at the door for a long while,thinking of the locked-up Yolanda before mustering the courage, gritting her teeth, and stepping inside.
