Chapter 243

If he really was her mother’s son, then he absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Everything her mother had had to belong to her alone.

Ruby had no idea how much resentment was building in Summer’s heart. She only continued, “You need to get Andrew out of Evan’s hands as soon as possible. If this drags on too long, something could happen.”

“I know.”

“And that child who got sick…” Ruby paused there.

She knew everything that had been happening around Summer these past few days.

K

Mrs. Mendes had said the girl’s condition was actually worse. She had looked fine on the surface, but chances were she would be the first one not to make it through this.

Ruby said softly, “At the end of the day, she’s only a girl. If she’s going to die, then make sure her death is worth something.”

Her tone was light.

But the malice underneath it was vicious.

Summer’s chest tightened for a moment, but the next second, her heart went cold. “Don’t worry, Mom.”

“I’ll make sure she dies for something.”

The words had barely left her mouth when the door clicked open.

Summer’s hand jerked instinctively.

She looked up and saw Evan standing in the doorway.

He had almost overheard them last night, and now this again…

On the other end of the line, Ruby was still talking. “I know she’s your own daughter, and you’ll feel bad, but in a situation like this-”

Before she could finish, Summer panicked and hung up.

The speaker volume hadn’t been low.

And in the quiet hospital room, every word had sounded even clearer.

Summer looked at Evan, her face stiff. “Steven… you’re here.”

Evan looked at her coldly and said nothing.

That silence, paired with that icy stare, made her heart tremble.

She forced herself to act calm. “Why… why are you looking at me like that? I…”

Evan still said nothing.

He walked into the room, came straight to her bedside, and pulled out a chair.

The legs scraped sharply across the floor with a harsh screech.

That sound, cold and grating, made Summer’s heart jump even harder.

Evan remained silent.

And that silence was suffocating.

Especially with how cold his face looked. Under that expression, even meeting his eyes took more courage

than she had left.

He lit a cigarette and took a drag.

Summer:

The smoke spread through the air, making it hard for her to breathe.

And through the haze, Evan’s face looked even colder. Darker.

Had he heard?

At that thought, she didn’t dare speak carelessly.

Then Ruby, not knowing what had happened after being hung up on, called again.

Summer hurried to reject the call.

That was when Evan finally spoke.

“Why didn’t you answer?”

His sudden voice, especially in that cold tone, made Summer’s heart jolt again.

That tone…

Had he really heard something?

Her face immediately went pale.

If Evan had heard, that was the last thing she needed.

No… the door had been closed just now.

He couldn’t have heard clearly, right?

Wait.

What exactly had she said on the phone just now?

In her panic, Summer suddenly couldn’t remember.
