“Evie, Yale and I have been talking for a while, and we decided it’s up to you whether to learn the truth. If you’d rather not know, leave it to us. We’ll make those two scoundrels pay.”
Holden’s face was overtaken with hatred and rage, finally turning into a look of determination. Yale stayed quiet, simply nodding to show he agreed.
Both men looked at Evangeline with concern.
Yale, however, still seemed uneasy. “Evie, you’re not on your own anymore. You have to think about others
too.”
Evangeline got the hint. Yale was reminding her she was about to become a mother, so she could not act on impulse.
She also figured out what the other happy news Yale referred to was. Finally uncovering the truth about her mom’s death was definitely big news.
Her vision started to blur, but memories in her mind became sharper.
Evangeline was so young when her mother was sick, and she could only recall her pale face and brave
smile.
After all the time that had passed, there was no way to investigate without any clues.
She was so close to the truth, at last–just one page away from opening the medical record.
How could she give up?
With shaky hands, Evangeline gently touched her belly, having a little chat in her head with her baby. “Hey, I need to know how your grandmother died. Be strong, okay? Once grandma’s name is cleared, everything I have will be yours, alright?‘
She chuckled at herself. Her baby was still so tiny–how could the child respond?
Suddenly, Evangeline’s eyes popped wide open as a slight push came from her rounded belly.
The sensation was indescribable, but she just knew it.
The baby moved.
She was definitely not imagining things–the baby in her belly really moved!
Evangeline was three months pregnant, and this was the baby’s first movement!
Was this the child’s silent support… for her to learn the truth?
A wave of comfort washed over her, and she placed her hand on the medical record.
“I’ve made up my mind. No matter what, I need to uncover the cause of Mom’s death and seek justice for her myself. She gave life to me, and this is the last thing I can do for her!”
Holden still seemed uneasy and wanted to stop her, but Yale held him back.
Evangeline opened the medical records, each entry a grim reminder of the suffering her mother endured.
