Chapter 709 Pretending to be a Good Person?
Evelyn didn’t waste any time and quickly drove to the hospital after receiving the call from Huston. Luckily, she didn’t encounter any traffic congestion, and she arrived within half an hour.
She pressed the elevator button and found the ward according to the address that Huston gave her.
Anxious and eager to see her child, she forgot to knock, pushed the door open directly, and walked in.
Her gaze fell upon the hospital bed, where she saw her little one, Lucas, lying half-reclined, hooked up to an IV drip with red eyes. Beside the bed sat a man, patiently keeping him company, his eyes also rimmed with redness.
