Chapter 168 Sneaking at the Phone
That night, Evelyn received a call from Jerry. He was showing off.
“What do you think? Do you agree to my request? Look, now that Huston doesn’t care about you anymore, and he hasn’t even issued an announcement for two days, I advise you to agree to my request before the matter blows up.”
Evelyn was used to his shamelessness. At this time, the only anger she had was gone. The matter has been blown out of proportion, so she is not afraid that he will make it worse
As if he had not expected her to be so tough, Jerry paused for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and saying, “Do you still want to wait for Huston to help you? Let me tell you, you’re just a broken shoe that I’ve abandoned. Which man would cherish you? Huston probably didn’t make a sound because she was afraid of being implicated. Are you stupid?”
Even though Jerry didn’t tell the truth, Evelyn’s heart still ached when she heard what he said.
There was no other reason than the fact that the word “Huston” was already important enough in her heart, not to mention the awkward situation she was in right now.
It was not that Evelyn had never thought about what Jerry said, but she just didn’t want to admit it. She was so stupid to believe
that this man wouldn’t push her into the teeth of the storm to hide.
“Jerry, the prouder you are now, the harder you will fall in the future. I won’t agree to any of your conditions.” Evelyn’s tone was very calm. “You said that I’m your broken shoe? No, I’m not. Maura is.”
Jerry was furious. “You!”
After hanging up the phone, she threw herself onto the bed. She also lay down on the bed, curled up into a bow, and hugged her knees to protect herself.
The darkness of the night permeated the room. There were no lights on in the room, and Evelyn’s tears gradually broke out.
Meanwhile, Huston, who was far away in Aronland, had no idea what was going on in the country. He followed George and Kevin to this treatment center that was isolated from the outside world.
Back then, he didn’t have enough money to go to school. In addition to his tuition, it was difficult for a newcomer to a university abroad to find a job. He was discriminated against and laughed at as a common occurrence. It was thanks to the financial support of Mia’s parents that he was able to finish his studies.
Huston had planned to repay Mia’s parents for their kindness when he became outstanding one day, but things did not go his way. Six years ago, her parents had a car accident on the way to
his graduation speech and left this world forever.
At that time, in the ICU, their last wish was for him to take good care of Mia.
Mia had also suffered from this strange disease because of her parent’s death. Huston blamed himself and felt sorry for her. The responsibility and guilt on his shoulders made it impossible for him to refuse any request from Mia.
He owed the Klein Family too much. He would never be able to repay them.
After more than two days of intensive treatment, the result was very good. The physical index of Mia was the best in the past five years. George even joked, “If it goes on like this, I believe it won’t be long before she can be discharged from the hospital.”
This made Kevin feel extremely gratified. He knew how much guilt and pressure Huston had endured all these years, and he was sincerely happy for him.
When the three of them returned to the sanatoriu, they did not bring their phones with them. Anyway, they were going to be separated from each other. After returning, Huston was exhausted and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
For some reason, Mia arrived at his room. When she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and saw the blurry figure on the frosted glass, a blush appeared on her pale face. She had been with him for so many years, but she had never taken that step.
