Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 840

Sophia and Jonathan hurried over as soon as they heard the news.

“What’s wrong, John?”

“Yeah, what happened to Evan?”

Outside the ward, the couple worriedly asked about Evan’s condition. John patiently recounted the incident to them.

In the ward, Evan was murmuring Nicole’s name in his sleep. His forehead was beaded with sweat.

“Nicole… Nicole…”

Nicole was surrounded by mist as she bid him goodbye. There was pain written all over her delicate, pale face when she waved at him. Then, she turned and left. A glint of sadness was tucked away in her eyes. Yet, he did not notice it. All he saw was Nicole walking further and further away from him.

“Nicole… Nicole—”

Suddenly, he sprang up from the bed. His scarlet red eyes were filled with pain, and his fingers were clenched into fists while the veins on his hands popped as if he was trying to restrain himself.

His parents and John immediately walked in when they heard his screams.

“Evan, you’re awake?”

“Are you feeling alright?”

Evan was taken back and looked up to meet Sophia’s gaze. “Where’s Nicole?”

Sophia was at a loss for words as she was also drowning in sadness after hearing the news of Nicole’s passing.

Jonathan sighed and said, “I guess it’s better that way. An eye for an eye, that’s how it should be. Your grandpa may now rest in peace. The scores are now settled between you and her…”

“She’s not a murderer! She didn’t kill Grandpa!” Evan screamed hysterically as he interrupted Jonathan.

Jonathan was startled, but he quickly retorted, “Why do you say so? If she isn’t the murderer, why did you agree to send her to prison? There is no doubt that she is the murderer!”

Evan was dumbfounded.

I agreed to send her to prison?

Evan’s heart stung painfully as Jonathan said those words.

That was not the reason he sent her to prison. He merely wanted her to stay. Unfortunately, he did not expect this to happen.

This is all my fault…
