After hesitating for a few seconds, Eva wanted to withdraw her hand, but Paul grabbed her, preventing her from doing so.
When Eva looked at him, he furrowed his brow and spoke, “Where else did you get hurt?”
Eva shook her head and her gaze fell back to Paul’s hand. “Can you stop touching me for now?”
After staring at her for a few seconds, Paul let go of her hand.
Eva turned her head and looked out the window, remaining silent.
Paul, on the other hand, looked at her, unsure of what to say.
While the two remained silent, Rosalyn rushed in.
“Eva!”
Upon hearing Rosalyn’s voice, Eva’s dull eyes suddenly showed a hint of life.
“Rosalyn…”
Seeing Eva’s swollen lace, bruised neck, bleeding forehead, and bandaged hands, Rosalyn felt heartbroken.
She rushed over and hugged Eva, gently stroking her back while comforting her.
“Eva, don’t be afraid, it’s okay now. You’re safe now.”
Since the incident, Eva hadn’t cried. But in that moment, being embraced by Rosalyn, her nose suddenly tingled and tears welled up in her eyes. Like seeing a family, all the pent-up grievances rushed to her heart, causing her to unable to hold back her tears.
“Rosalyn, I thought I would never see you again.”
When that middle-aged man dragged her into the bushes, she had already made up her mind.
At that moment, she thought that if she couldn’t resist and was raped by him, she would kill with the price of her life.
Fortunately, she had that kind of strong will, which made her to find a stone and smash it hard on the back of his head, saving her own life. Eva held Rosalyn tightly, burying her head in her shoulder as tears streamed down her face.
Eva had always been strong. From childhood to adulthood, she ever cried like this? ing her. When had she Rosalyn couldn’t imagine how Eva had managed to escape tonight, but she could feel her grievances, her fear, and her unspeakable pain. Eva’s life had been quite bitter…
From a young age, because she was a little older, she always took on everything, earning money, supporting the family, taking care of them like the head of the house. Even though she was also a child back then, she did whatever she could to shield her and Ryan from harm and support them.
When Eva grew up, she saved up to buy an apartment, but then she encountered Daniel, who deceived her for money and emotions, and even wanted to trick her into raising his mistress’s child. If she hadn’t caught Daniel cheating on her, she would probably still be in the dark now.
Rosalyn’s misfortune also changed Eva’s life. She went from being a quiet and reserved person to becoming the owner of a nightclub. She picked up smoking and drinking during that time. After going through a divorce and losing loved ones, Rosalyn didn’t know how she managed to get through it all….
Perhaps during those three years, she indeed had feelings for Paul. But Paul was known for being a playboy, so Eva never dared to give her heart to him. Plus, he never expressed any interest in her and always acted like he didn’t care about her. So, Eva couldn’t rely on or trust him.
She thought that she would end up with Jayden. For Eva, she didn’t need to marry someone she loved or be madly in love with someone before marrying them. She felt she wasn’t deserving of love. All she wanted was to marry a reliable and faithful man who could provide her with a stable home.
Many couples lived their lives respectfully and peacefully, like a calm river flowing. That was all she wanted – a sense of peace. But she didn’t realize Jayden didn’t feel the same way. His so-called secret admiration for her was just his unwillingness to accept that he couldn’t have her when they were young.
Eva was only in her thirties, but she had already experienced countless hardships. If talking about suffering, Rosalyn had also suffered a lot, but she was slightly luckier than Eva. At least she found her sister and saw videos of her mother, so she knew what they look like Eva didn’t even know who her parents were.
Thinking about Eva’s experiences over the years, Rosalyn hugged her tightly in sympathy.
“Eva, it’s my fault. I didn’t protect you well.”
It was her fault for not stopping them when she realized Jayden wasn’t a good person, which led to Eva’s ordeal.
With her bandaged hand, Eva, who had already cried, gently stroked Rosalyn’s waist-length curly hair, soothing her softly.
“I’m fine, don’t worry, and don’t blame yourself.”
This had nothing to do with Rosalyn. It was her own fault for not being able to judge people clearly when it came to relationships, and she only realized it was a mistake after taking the risk.
Honestly, a person like her shouldn’t have gotten involved in marriage. She should have lived a solitary life and grown old peacefully, living a quiet life.
Thinking this, Eva looked at Paul, who was still sitting by the bedside, and a bitter feeling overwhelmed her, making her eyes turn red once again. “Paul, thank you for saving me.”
The calmness in her tone seemed to be a way of expressing gratitude and separating herself from him.
Paul’s brows furrowed slightly as he contemplated saying something, but in the end, he remained silent and decided to wait until she was out of this nightmare.
“Rest well, I have some things to take care of,” Paul said as he stood up to leave, only to see Andrew standing outside the ward with his arms crossed. “Where are you going?” Paul clenched his fists, and the veins on his strong arms suddenly surged.
“To find Jayden, to find that old man!” He was going to make them pay a heavy price!
Paul took a step forward, but Andrew reached out to stop him. “I’ve already had that man sent to the police station. As for Jayden, leave it to me.”
He also had to clear Henry’s name, so it would be best to settle all these accounts at once.
“Leave it to you?” Jayden’s situation had nothing to do with Andrew, so why was he getting involved?
“Remember to watch the news tomorrow morning,” Andrew said without explaining further.
Paul wanted to ask for clarification, but he saw Andrew raise his long hand and pat his shoulder.
“You should stay here and accompany Eva.” When a woman went through something like this, she needed someone by her side, and besides Rosalyn, Paul was the best choice. Andrew didn’t care whether Paul agreed or not. After leaving Peter to protect Rosalyn, he turned and walked towards Stella.
“Where is he?” Andrew asked.
“On the top floor of the hospital.”
Stella immediately sent an ambulance to bring Jayden to the hospital after learning the details. After a simple treatment, she secretly locked him up on the top floor.
“And the forensic doctor?”
Stella took out the VIP card for the top floor while swiping open the elevator, and respectfully replied, “Also on the top floor.”
The forensic doctor was not on duty tonight, but Stella managed to call him to the hospital. As soon as he entered the director’s office, she took control of him.
“Has the surveillance been deleted?”
“It’s already been deleted.”
Only then did Andrew extend his hand to Andrey. Andrey immediately understood and took out a sealed package that he carried with him. He tore open the packaging and took out a clean pair of gloves, placing them in Andrew’s palm.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a tall and upright man with a group of people. He calmly put on the gloves while walking towards the isolated and sealed ward…
As soon as the ward door was pushed open, Jayden saw Andrew in a black suit wearing white gloves, walking slowly with an air of confidence, surrounded by a group of people…
