She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 285

She had expected that the moment she opened her eyes, she would see Dominic, full of affection, eagerly apologizing and declaring his love for her.

"Don't overthink it. I was just worried about Lila..."

Hearing Dominic say this, Evelyn felt a little more at ease.

"By the way, is a nurse taking care of Lila?"

"Yes," Dominic nodded, then added, "Melanie is there too."

The moment she heard Melanie's name, Evelyn's expression changed instantly.

Dominic noticed and immediately explained, "I couldn't be there for Lila, and I was worried she'd be alone, so I asked Melanie to stay... Evelyn, can you please stop being so hostile toward Melanie?"

Dominic gently took Evelyn's hand.

He was afraid that any more provocation would make her try to kill herself again.

He couldn't handle any more drama, especially not when the Hale Health Center was preparing for its public listing. He didn't want his personal life to explode.

However, even with Dominic holding her hand and comforting her, a clear look of resentment still flashed in Evelyn's eyes.

"You still think... this was my fault..."

After hearing Evelyn's words, Dominic couldn't help but ask himself:

*Wasn't it?*

Drugging Lila and putting her life in danger, framing Melanie—hadn't Evelyn done all of that?

"You have no idea what Lila means to me..." Evelyn began, her voice already choked with tears.

"You keep saying you love me, but you haven't given me a single shred of security... At least Melanie has a marriage certificate with you. What do I have?"

Tears streamed down Evelyn's face, falling like broken pearls.
