Evelyn waited in the ward for him to come back. After waiting for a long time, he still hadn't come back. In the end, she was really worried and went to the office to look for him. Unexpectedly, the doctor said that he had been gone for nearly 20 minutes.
She thanked him and immediately left the office to call him. Fortunately, the phone rang a few times before he picked it up. She asked in a tense voice, "Where are you?"
"Kevin's office."
"Now?"
"Yeah."
Hearing his answer, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I was scared when I couldn't find you. I thought you had run away."
The woman's rapid breathing came into his ears through the microphone. He finally sat up from the sofa, winked at Kevin, and got up to leave. "I'll go down now. Wait for me at the elevator."
"Okay."
In less than five minutes, the tall man came out of the elevator. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Evelyn finally felt relieved. "Why didn't you tell me!"
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled into a warm embrace. Her mouth was gagged by the man's chest, and she had no choice but to swallow the words on the tip of her tongue.
Feeling the tightening of his arms on her back, a corner of her heart sank. She felt sour and soft, and her instinctual maternal instincts suddenly surged. "What's wrong? It's only been a while since we last met, but you've become like this again."
"Let's get married, Evelyn."
His words successfully made her stop stroking his back. She was not prepared for it at all.
She thought he was being impulsive. "What are you talking about?"
"Grandpa's condition is very bad. The doctor said that he can't hold on for too long. I want him to see his grandson's happiness before he leaves."
So that was what he thought.
