Sheila came back to the ward in fear and trepidation. “What happened? I just got into the car when Mr. Seet called me. Didn’t he stay back to take care of you? Did you ask him to leave? What’s going on?”
Nicole fell silent.
“How silly are you to keep rejecting happiness? Aren’t you worried that you might actually lose him for good?”
Nicole looked at Sheila blankly and said, “Evan wanted to start over with me. He said he’ll sort things out with Susan.”
Sheila was over the moon. “Oh really? That’s awesome. I have long felt that the stumbling block should be removed. Only when the both of you reunite, your four children can have a complete, happy family.”
As soon as she said that, Sheila noticed Nicole’s troubled look. Her eyes were laced with sorrow and concern. She tapped her shoulder. “What’s wrong? You aren’t happy about this?”
“Susan is quite a character. I don’t think she will let him go so easily.”
“Well, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. If Evan wants to cut off ties with her, what can she do? Keep dragging this on and pester him? I think you shouldn’t worry about this and just leave it in the good hands of Mr. Seet.”
Although what Sheila said made sense, Nicole still could not help but feel anxious and disturbed.
At the Hillside Villa.
Evan told Susan that he planned to get married to Nicole and register their marriage officially at the ministry. The news hit Susan like a wrecking ball.
Tears shimmered in her eyes and her face changed in disbelief. “Evan, what are you talking about? We got married in K Nation already. How could you do this to me?”
“Susan, I don’t love you and you know the exact reason why we got married. Though we live under the same roof, I’ve not touched you once. Do you plan to put up with this kind of life forever?”
Her eyes swam with tears. “Evan, I’m yours since the day we got married. No matter how you treat me, I’ll never leave you.”
“There’s no meaning for us to torture each other like this. Susan, let go, will you? I’ll make the best arrangement for you and ensure that you have plenty for the rest of your life.”
Evan’s decision came out of the blue and it shocked Susan to the bone.
She was desperate for a solution. I threatened to jump into the river the last time and Evan agreed to marry me.
This time…
“I don’t care, Evan. I’m yours forever and ever. If you insist on leaving me, then there’s only death left for me.”
Having said that, she dashed across the room and hit her head on the wall.
Within seconds, her forehead was covered with crimson blood.
“Evan, I’m willing to die for you, you can’t abandon me.” Her eyes shut.
He approached her and checked on her wound. Thereafter, he instructed the driver to send her to the hospital.
Sophia soon learned about this incident from a spy she had planted in Hillside Villa.
When she heard about this news over the phone, Davin was there too.
“Wow, Evan’s charm is irresistible. This woman was willing to die instead of leaving him?”
“Charming? I think he’s brought a disaster upon himself. Women who seek death are the hardest to deal with.”
“Don’t you worry. I have faith in Evan and Nicole to win this battle. You should sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.”
“Why don’t you go check on them at the hospital and find out how is she? I hope nothing serious happened.”
What?
Do you really think that a woman like Susan would give up on her dear life so easily?
I don’t believe so.
Then again, there’s no harm making a trip there since Susan was sent to the same hospital where Nicole is in. Let’s see what this episode has in store for us.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll head there right away.”
When Davin arrived at the hospital, the doctor had bandaged Susan’s wound and sent her to her ward.
He found her room but did not see Evan inside. There was only Susan and a nurse. It seems inappropriate for me to show up when Evan isn’t here. He changed his mind and went to Nicole’s.
Sheila was startled by his sudden visit.
“You’re here to see me?”
