How did that saying go again? If someone didn’t love you, they’d see you hanging from a nose and brush it off, as if you were merely playing on a swing.
Tillary nodded gracefully at Blake. “I’ll go ahead and see the doctor. You two continue chatting.”
She never once acknowledged Evelyn. Though her expression remained gentle the entire time, there was a subtle hint of disdain beneath it.
“Not wanting to engage in awkward small talk with Lucas and Blake, Evelyn stood up. “I’ll get going and leave you two to it.”
As she walked away, Lucas finally looked at her. She seemed thinner. Sebastian’s coat draped her shoulders, making her look even more fragile. She also walked the same as before. In the past, she would often speak gently to him, always finding topics to chat about when they met. Lately, she had been distant.
Blake tilted his head and looked at him. “Mr. Grant, you’ve been devoting all your attention to Mr. Moore lately. Meanwhile, I have to worry about Evelyn. She’s currently running a fever. Just how much have you been overworking her?”
Lucas replied drily. “Evelyn is no longer an employee at Bluezen. Has she never told you that?”
Blake was genuinely surprised. He hesitated for a moment. In the past, Evelyn used to share everything with him—no matter how big or small. He figured she probably just hadn’t gotten around to it yet.
Early Mae turned to the hospital bed and reached for her phone. Sebastian also came back and handed her a bottle of warm water. “Here, have this; I’ll take you home after the IV drip.”
Berlynd didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. Who knew how often she’d end up here in the future? She disliked that thought.
“Okay. Thanks, Sebastian.”
Sebastian glanced at her and barked, “Far more reliable than your husband, eh?”
De continued. “Back then, my father was so desperate to settle everything except men. I turned down a prime catch like…”
Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh. He’d have been more than happy to marry me into your family and have a live-in son-in-law. Too bad you have good taste in…
Calum Hill Kadalmayı valued! His favorite saying was, “That’s about it, Sebastian. He’s not very capable, but at least he’s responsible. He won’t let you down.”
Even a top talent like Sebastian had been deemed worthless by his own father. But she and Sebastian were simply not meant to be. The two of them had once pulled countless all-nighters together, writing papers, running tests, and debating about various issues. Miraculously, they admired each other but were also constantly bickering with each other.
As Harry matured downstairs, Evelyn saw a Cullinan drive out of the parking lot.
A WhatsApp message. “Went to…”
She glanced at the car that had already sped away and sighed softly. He had never intended to stay. That’s just the benefit of being a citizen of another country.

But looking at the sender, she realized something. She had blocked his personal account last time but had forgotten that he often used his work account. Without hesitation, she blocked this number too.
