look in his eyes was just short of having “asking for the moon” written all over his face.

Bara choked in one breath, “You!”
Evelina’s tears came down even harder as she spoke through the pain.
“Right in front of you, Lizetta dared to drug me, and you blindly took her side. Tomorrow, she might as
well go all the way and force an abortion pill on me. I’m really scared.”
Evelina, shaky on her feet, stood up, “Better to end it now than to wait for her to make me suffer. Let’s
just go to the hospital, Mom.”
ra, supporting Evelina, nodded, “Alright, to the hospital!”

Kevin’s face was also full of fury, “If the kid’s going through hell before even being born, what’s the
point? I’ll contact a gynecologist right away.”
He whipped out his phone to make the call, while ra shouted for the car to be readied. Evelina,
being helped to leave, didn’t believe for a second that Remington could ignore the baby.
Yet, there he stood, expression cold, without the slightest intention of stopping them.
The three Hawthornes were caught in a tough spot, all wearing ugly expressions. As they passed by
Remington, the man still didn’t make a peep, standing tall, just coldly watching without batting an
eyelid.
Evelina, out of options, crumpled to the ground.
“Eve!” ra eximed in shock.
Remington frowned, seeing Evelina lying there as if she had truly fainted. He ordered Cedric to call a
doctor, then went forward to pick Evelina up and carry her back to her room.
Heid Evelina on the bed, ready to stand straight up. But Evelina clutched at the corner of his suit
jacket. Remington paused and said in a deep voice, “Let go.”
Evelina opened her eyes, tears streaming down, “Remington, you can’t be so heartless. You promised
to take care of and protect the baby.”
There was little emotion in Remington’s eyes, “I also told you not to provoke Lizetta.”
“I didn’t.”
Before Evelina could finish, Remington cut her off with a cold voice.
“The hotel surveince and Liz’s ss, you managed to cover your tracks well. But getting sleeping
pills in such short notice, you could only buy them from a nearby drugstore, which isn’t hard to look
into.”
Evelina’s face instantly went pale, realizing Remington had figured it all out a while ago. Evelina felt the
icy chill in his eyes; her hand clutching his jacket suddenly let go, “I–I just…”
Remington stood up, his eyes and brows revealing impatience, and a sharp glint passed through his
eyes as he interrupted Evelina.
“I don’t want to hear excuses, nor do I like being threatened. The baby isn’t a tool to ckmail me with.
Remember today’s p, got it?”
Evelina felt a chill all over, biting her lip and nodding instinctively. Remington withdrew his gaze and
stepped
out.
ra and Kevin were still waiting at the door, unhappy to see Remington just walk away, but were
stopped
by Evelina.
Remington left the Hawthorne family estate, got into his car, and rubbed his temples, instructing the
driver to go.
Lizetta arrived just in time to see Remington leaving the Hawthorne family estate.
Remington had indeede to visit Evelina. Lucky she found him. Lizetta hurriedly told the taxi to
follow, not expecting that Remington would return to Oakridge Heights.
Had he been living here this whole time? This was their marital home. He used to refuse toe back,
but now, was it because she was no longer there that he moved back in? Or?
Standing outside Oakridge Heights once again, Lizetta felt a mix of emotions. Especially thinking back
to just over an hour ago in the hotel room, when she gave Remington the cold shoulder, wishing never
to have anything to do with him again.
Yet in a blink, she was seeking him out. Lizetta’s heart was more tangled than ever. She hesitated at
the door for a long while, thinking of the locked–up Ynda before mustering the courage, gritting her
teeth, and stepping inside.
