Chapter 104 Those Involved Cannot See Clearly
Kevin waved his hand to signal the medical staff behind him
to leave. He patted Huston on the shoulder and leaned closer,
whispering, “Are you quarreling?”
“No,” said Huston.
Kevin believed that Huston was obstinate. He advised, “Well, stop being stubborn. She’s just a young girl. It would be best if
you are more tolerant…”
“I’ve fallen in love with her,” said Huston.
Kevin’s voice stopped suddenly and his expression froze. The
rest of his words were stuck in his throat.
He turned to look in the direction of the ward and said, “What
did you say?”
Only then did Huston look straight at him and said, “I might
have fallen in love with Evelyn.”
When hearing him admit it personally, Kevin was surprised. If
this event could assist Huston in sorting out his emotions, it
would not be too bad. However, it was just that…
“Do you really like Evelyn?” asked Kevin.
“I don’t know. I lost control when I saw her fall from the
rooftop,” replied Huston.
Lost control…
Kevin swallowed his saliva. He tried to think of when he had

Kevin said, “Why don’t you have a good talk when she wakes

around and left.
After looking at the tall and straight figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Kevin shook his head slightly and thought of how Huston looked like when Huston rushed to the hospital just now.

Huston’s efforts to stay composed, Kevin could easily tell. After all, they knew each other so well.
Huston was overly concerned about the woman in the ward,
but his personal involvement prevented him from seeing the situation objectively.
When Evelyn woke up again, she saw Lucy and Ben. She tried
to move her body, but before she could get up, she felt dizzy.
Hearing the movement on the bed, Lucy quickly walked to the bedside and asked, “Evelyn, are you awake?”
Evelyn suppressed the disgust brought by the dizziness and
asked in a hoarse voice, “Mom, where am I?”
“You’re in the hospital!” Ben also came over. When he looked
at her pale face, his heart couldn’t help but ache. He said,
“How many times have I told you not to meddle in other
people’s business outside? Why didn’t you listen to me? In such a dangerous situation, why did you still go there? If something happens, how can your mother and I bear it?”
After receiving the news that Evelyn had fallen off the
building, he and Lucy were almost scared to death.
Fortunately, Evelyn was fine, but the old couple’s hearts were
still fluttering with tear.
Evelyn said, “Dad, Mom, I’m fine.”
