The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 325

"Eve, please, just listen to me and don’t make me angry."

"Is it Charles?"

Evelyn's eyes were blazing with anger.

Andrew didn’t say a word, but his silence was enough of an admission.

"Dr. Nelson, just because Charles said something, you’re refusing to operate on my mom? That’s a human life at stake! Doesn’t your conscience bother you at all?"

Andrew’s lips were pressed into a tight line, offering no response.

Evelyn stared at the unmoving Andrew, realizing that no amount of pleading would change his mind. Without Charles’s say-so, Andrew wouldn’t budge.

With a heavy heart, Evelyn left Andrew’s office.

Outside the hospital, she dialed Brooks.

"Evelyn."

Brooks picked up right away.

Hearing his voice, Evelyn felt her eyes prick with tears. "Brooks, Charles interfered, and now Andrew won’t do the surgery on my mom."

"Don’t worry, I’m on my way to the hospital."

Brooks tried to calm Evelyn down.

He knew Andrew was Rory’s brother, and Rory was tight with Charles. There shouldn’t have been any conflict, but he had overestimated Charles’s decency.

Who would have thought Charles would use Evelyn’s mom to force her back to him?

Brooks dashed to the hospital, only to find Andrew had already left and was unreachable.
