After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 44

She was incredibly weak, and Roxanne sat by her side, constantly wiping away tears.

“Lilith, I’ve got the medicine. Don’t worry.”

After Charles administered the drug, Lilith’s condition did indeed improve.

Flora breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s wonderful! Lilith isn’t rejecting the drug. Even though it’s a small dose, the effect is obvious!”

Charles nodded. “As long as we can find Dawn to clear the lesions in Lilith’s body, the damage to her central nervous system will be much easier to manage.”

Aria returned to the Evernight estate.

Gideon wasn’t there, but Eveline was.

“Aria, come here.” Eveline beckoned to Aria as if she were a pet. “I have something to tell you.”

Aria frowned, not wanting to go over.

But a maid was already blocking her path, so she pragmatically walked over.

“What is it?”

“You’re deliberately going after Lilith just to get back at Gideon, aren’t you?”

The thought that Aria knew about the misdiagnosis but didn’t stop Gideon from administering the medication made Eveline think Aria was truly cruel.

Although she looked down on Aria’s actions, she couldn't help but think that Aria did it all out of jealousy.

It was all because Gideon was so outstanding!

Eveline’s expression was proud. “Gideon is not like you. He’s the heir to the Evernight Group. It’s perfectly normal for him to have many women around him. If you’re this jealous, how can you be a proper daughter-in-law of the Evernight family?”

Aria felt a cold, humorless laugh bubbling up in her throat. She didn’t even want to waste a single breath on such a stupid person.

Because she had always been so obedient to Gideon over the years, did Eveline really think she would never divorce him?

Over the years, no matter how busy she was, she had never given up on her studies. The therapeutic recipes she had prepared for Gideon were the result of her learning, bit by bit, from those very books.

She had even planned to consult them today to combine years of summarized experience.

She never imagined Eveline would get rid of her books and notes without her permission.

“Where are my things?” Aria couldn’t contain her fury. She stormed up to Eveline and demanded, “Give me back my things!”

Eveline was startled, but no one had ever dared to shout at her like this before, and she grew angry.

“What are you doing? I’m doing this for your own good! Don’t be so ungrateful!”

“All you do is study this useless junk, and you can’t even hold onto your own husband’s heart! What kind of woman are you?”

“You don’t really think you can become the next Dawn, do you? Just because Gideon is looking for Dawn now, you think you can become her?”

“Take a good look at yourself! Instead of getting pregnant and securing your husband’s affection, you’re just indulging in wild fantasies, aren’t you?”

Aria’s hands clenched into tight fists. Hearing Eveline’s words, she could no longer suppress her rage. She raised her hand high!
