Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Running Away While Pregnant (Extra) 

Deborah raised her voice at Adrian, “She just had surgery. If you have any conscience 

left, leave and let her rest for a while.” 

Adrian’s jaw tightened, and after standing there for a while longer, he finally turned. 

around and left. 

Upon reaching the end of the corridor, he stood by the window, reaching into his coat 

pocket for his cigarette case. 

He reached for it, only to suddenly remember that he had quit long ago. 

The elders in the Moxley family said that his smoking was not good for Evelyn while she 

was trying to conceive. 

Aside from not mentioning pregnancy preparations, Evelyn also dislikes the smell of 

smoke. 

Adrian went all out and finally quit smoking. 

Although he claimed to be acting, only he himself knew that acting was just an excuse. 

Once they were together, they shared a bedroom, chatted away into the night, and he would pick her up and drop her off for work. 

When he was on the show, she would also help her friends to get tickets from him. 

She got the ticket and cherished it like a treasure, tucking it safely into her pocket. 

Still feeling indignant, he exclaimed, “You have no idea! I bought tickets with a friend. to attend your show, and we got the last two seats in the back row for more than 1,500 

dollars. Ticket touters are really so ruthless! 

Although Adrian verbally expressed his disdain for her, calling her a sucker, deep down 

he was secretly pleased. 

How infatuated with wealth she must be, to be willing to spend so much money on 

tickets to watch a show, if not just to see him? 

A woman who says one thing but means another is someone who won’t admit it with 

her words. 

During holidays and days off, they would either have meals with their family or go out. on dates together. 

He truly believed it, and thought that Evelyn believed it too. 

Adrian gazed out the window at the foggy, misty sky. 

He recalled the first time he met Evelyn that year; it was also winter. 

Joseph brought her to Moxley Manor, and as she sat across from Adrian, she shyly lowered her head and said, “I’m willing.” 

He avoided her like the plague, only to find out later that her affection was all an act. 

From the very beginning, he should have been aware that she was best at concealing her 

true emotions. 

Norman, wearing a white lab coat, walked over from behind. 

He found out about the situation here and thought of coming over to take a look. That’s when he saw Adrian standing alone by the window, lost in thought. 

Norman walked up to him and, without saying much, simply said in a calm voice, “The child is gone. Let it go. You’re a grown man, be magnanimous and don’t make things 

difficult for others.” 

Adrian looked a bit lost as he asked, “Norman, aren’t you a doctor around here? Can you help me check if it’s true that Evelyn’s baby is gone?” 

Norman sighed, “I work in the surgery department, not the gynecology départment. However, I did go and ask carefully. Dr. Walter, who performed the surgery on Evelyn, 

confirmed that it was indeed an abortion surgery. 

All the relevant documents, along with Evelyn’s personal signature, are with him. I’ve 

seen them myself, so they should be genuine.” 

Adrian still couldn’t accept it, but Norman advised, “Don’t do what you shouldn’t do. 

No matter how powerful and influential the Moxley family is, we can’t Co 

around 

bullying people.” 

He didn’t know that Adrian and Evelyn were just acting, so he wondered how the child 

came into the picture. 

But he believed that Evelyn was not a reckless person. Since she insisted on silently 

terminating the pregnancy, there must be a reason for it. 

Adrian slowly lowered his gaze, “Norman, I can’t.” 

Norman let out a hum, turned around, and left. 

Adrian stood in the hospital corridor until the sky turned dark. 

Evelyn wouldn’t let him in, and with Deborah guarding the door, there was no way he could force his way through. 

Winter nights come early, and by around five in the evening, Deborah steps out of the 

hospital room to buy dinner for Evelyn. 

Seeing Adrian still standing outside, she said defensively, “I’m going downstairs to buy food. If you dare to go in, I’ll make sure you enter standing up and leave lying down.” 

Adrian’s forehead twitched as he took out a bank card and handed it to her. “I won’t go 

1. Please give this card to Evelyn for me. No matter what, it’s my fault.” 

Deborah disdainfully glanced at the black card he handed over. Who doesn’t have money these days? 

She didn’t acknowledge any sibling affection and said, “Take your dirty money and 

leave. I won’t see you out.” 

Adrian insisted, “Please help me give it to her. I don’t know what else I can do.” 

Deborah said expressionlessly, “How could you not know? You can announce it to your countless fans that you’ve taken advantage of someone. You can also turn yourself in, right?” 

How could one not know what to do with so much excitement going on? 

No sooner had she finished speaking than the door to the sickroom opened, and Evelyn 

stood inside. 

She looked at Adrian and said, “You can go now. I’m fine, the past is in the past, and our 

act ends here.” 

Deborah wanted to say something else, but Evelyn pulled her back from behind, “Don’t 

say anymore.” 

Evelyn pulled Deborah back into the hospital room, saying, “I’m not hungry yet. Let’s wait until he leaves, then we can go buy something. 

Not long after they returned to the hospital room, Adrian finally left from outside the 

room. 

The news of the miscarriage naturally reached the ears of the Moxley family, as well as 

Max and Mina. 

However, Evelyn didn’t know what Adrian had told them. 

Following her stay at the hospital for a day, she returned home and pretended to recuperate for a while before resuming work. 

During this time, neither the Moxley family nor her parents came to question her at all. 

Her days returned to how they were more than a year ago, working from nine to five, and assisting Joseph in his tasks. 

Max and Mina returned to Oceanview City. As for her, in order to pursue better career prospects, she gave up the opportunity to be the secretary for the branch manager of Oceanview City and instead stayed in Richmond, continuing to work as Joseph’s 

secretary. 

After all, one is the CEO of the entire Jingron company, while the other is the branch. general manager. There’s no doubt about who offers more benefits to follow. 

She used to work with the branch manager, who was quite cautious and suspicious, 

always afraid of making mistakes and being called in for a talk with Joseph. 

Some of the opinions and suggestions from Evelyn are not very trustworthy. 

So, six months ago, she sought Deborah’s help to return to Joseph’s side as his 

secretary. 

As for Deborah’s concern, she said to Joseph, “Joseph, I miss Evelyn so much. It’s so hard to meet up when we’re in different places.” 

What else could Joseph do? The very next day, he transferred Evelyn over. 

The branch manager over there suddenly lost his secretary, and he dared to complain but didn’t dare to speak up. 

Evelyn thought back on those events, secretly feeling pleased, and returned to work at 

Jingron. 

Life must go on, and making and saving money is the foundation and the ultimate truth. Besides, she now has an extra little one to take care of. 

She wouldn’t go so far as to change her plans of staying in Richmond just to avoid
