The most common thing he said to her was to advise her not to smoke.
Looking at the lit cigarette between her fingertips, Eva extinguished it for the first time.
Then, she grabbed a jacket, quickly got in the car, and headed to the hospital.
Elsie wasn’t there at the moment, and there was only Paul in the hospital room.
When he saw her come in, Paul remained calm and glanced at her.
Seeing his gaze, Eva paused, as if just remembering that he had said he never wanted to see her again.
She stood at the doorway, staring at Paul. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gathered the courage and walked over. “Are you… okay?”
Eva had come to ask about what happened during the day, but when she saw Paul’s pale face, she involuntarily expressed concern.
The person lying in the hospital bed ignored her, seeming to have no intention of speaking to her or seeing her again, with his eyes closed.
Seeing him like this, Eva didn’t know how to start the conversation. She stood in front of the hospital bed, feeling awkward for quite a while before finally mustering the courage to ask him.
“I came to ask you, why did you hit Jayden?”
This accusation undoubtedly struck Paul’s heavy heart like another blow.
Get out “What, I hit Jayden and you’re indignant on his behalf?”
“I’m not indignant on his behalf, I’m afraid that you…”
“Afraid that once I’m better, I’ll go and hit him?”
Paul stared coldly at Eva.
“Don’t worry, once I’m better, I will definitely teach him a lesson!”
From the time he was young until now, Paul had never endured this kind of humiliation!
Even if Eva stood up for Jayden, he would make him pay the price!
The killing intent that flashed in Paul’s eyes made Eva tremble inwardly.
“Paul, don’t do something foolish.”
“Whether or not I do something foolish, it has nothing to do with you.”
Paul lifted his gaze and looked towards the direction of the door.
“Leave, don’t come see me again.”
Get out Eva’s heart ached for a moment, but when she felt the coldness in Paul’s eyes, her courage wavered.
She had already rejected him so heartlessly, causing him to have an accident and end up in the hospital. It would seem hypocritical to show concern for him again.
After advising him to rest well, Eva picked up her pace, turned around, and left.
As she walked out of the hospital room, she ran into Elsie. When Elsie saw her coming out of the room, she instinctively glanced at Paul inside.
Elsie noticed that both Paul and Eva didn’t look good, and instantly knew that they hadn’t resolved their issues. She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Come with me.” She reached out her hand and beckoned Eva with her finger.
Eva thought Elsie was going to confront her, so she quickly explained herself as they walked to the end of the corridor. “Don’t misunderstand, I just came to ask why Paul hit Jayden…”
While Elsie admired Jayden’s ability to handle things, she was also surprised that Eva didn’t know she had broken up with Paul.
But this was actually a good opportunity for Elsie to widen the crack between Paul and Eva…
“So you came just to ask about that, I thought you couldn’t get Paul out of your mind.”
Eva’s heart skipped a beat, feeling like her thoughts had been exposed, she felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
“No…”
“That’s good then. Paul is my boyfriend and you’re about to get married, so it wouldn’t be right for you to keep thinking about him or to meet him alone or show concern for him while Paul and Eva gradually drift…
I’m not around. It wouldn’t be fair to me or your fiance…”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think about all that, I just had some doubts in my mind and wanted to ask them privately…”
Eva couldn’t show any suspicion in front of Jayden, so she had to ask privately, but she didn’t consider that Elsie wouldn’t be happy about it.
“Well, you were in the hospital room at the time, so it’s the same whether you tell me or not…”
Elsie sneered at Eva but continued with her words.
“Jayden came to bring flowers and picked up fruits for Paul, wishing him a speedy recovery to attend your wedding.”
Was it because Jayden said he would attend the wedding that Paul got angry and hit him?
“Paul has always been like this. When I broke up with him before, he would go crazy for me. Don’t think he loves you so much. He just can’t stand seeing his ex-girlfriend suddenly with another man. The same thing happened with my ex-boyfriends. If someone said a few words wishing him well, he would hit them. It’s the same with every girlfriend he had after me. In Paul’s mind, he always has possessiveness towards things he’s had…”
“Is that so?”
Eva smirked and asked in return, with a self-deprecating smile. She realized she had been overthinking and thought she had wrongly accused Paul, but she didn’t expect that he was like that with every ex- girlfriend.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Kayla. She was with Paul for a long time too.”
“No need, what you said is enough.”
Eva didn’t know about Elsie and Paul’s past, she only knew that Elsie was Paul’s first love, his “white moonlight,” a woman he publicly acknowledged and showed affection for. What she said was unquestionable…
Eva felt a bit embarrassed and said, “I’ll go first,” then hurriedly left the hospital.
Watching Eva’s fleeing figure, Elsie’s lips curved into a triumphant smile.
The next day, after Rosalyn woke up and saw Grace off, the first thing she did was call Eva.
“Eva, did you go see Paul?”
“I did…”
