Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 443: Chapter 443: The One Who Should Die Is You, Not Him

Evelyn’s singing was tinged with sobs, her articulation somewhat blurred, but she managed to sing the melody perfectly.

Caden Lockwood was a little dazed as he listened.

Previously, when he lived with Evelyn, he would occasionally hear her humming. At the time, he thought to himself that one day, he must have her sing properly for him.

Now, he finally got his wish.

Only, it was a pity that it happened in such a scenario.

Still, were the lyrics she sang a confession to him?

Thinking this, Caden couldn’t help feeling elated.

"I won’t die," Caden said with certainty, "I’ve prepared so many surprises for you, we have to... complete them one by one."

Evelyn nodded and continued singing to Caden.

Caden didn’t hold on for long; he passed out halfway on the way to the hospital.

Evelyn watched Caden without blinking, her heart a mix of emotions, unable to quite describe the feeling. frёewebnoѵēl.com

She recalled how he blocked the bullet for her without hesitation.

She remembered how he was clearly shot but still held her tightly, just because he was worried she’d hurt if she walked.

She thought of how his wound was obviously very painful, yet he pretended nothing was wrong just to stop her from worrying.

This man was like that, taking everything on himself, never showing his vulnerable side.

No matter how much she wiped them, her tears wouldn’t dry. Evelyn’s heart felt like it had been pricked by needles.

"Uncle, I’m sorry," Evelyn cried softly, "I will listen to you in the future and won’t upset you again! Don’t leave me, you mustn’t leave me!"

But at this moment, Caden was unconscious, unable to answer her...

The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital, and Caden was taken into the operating room, where the doctors were ready to perform surgery on him. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Evelyn stayed in the corridor outside the emergency room, staring intently at the closed doors.

Her heart was clenched tight, unable to relax in the slightest.

She prayed to every deity she could think of—if Caden could be saved, she’d give up her own life for him!

She just begged that he wouldn’t leave like this.

It was all her fault; if she hadn’t been kidnapped, Caden wouldn’t have gotten hurt.

If anything happened to Caden, it would be all her doing!

Evelyn anxiously paced back and forth at the entrance of the corridor, just hoping for news that Caden was still okay.

Hearing a rush of footsteps, Evelyn turned around and saw that it was Caden’s mother, Lily Thorne. Evelyn felt even more guilty.

At a time like this, a mother must be the most heartbroken!

"How is he?" Lily asked anxiously, "The doctor called me, saying Caden is seriously injured, and they don’t know if he’ll make it. What on earth did you do to make my son end up in there, hovering between life and death?"

"I’m sorry," Evelyn apologized softly, "It’s my fault, it’s all my fault."

"If you know it’s your fault, why are you still around my son?" Lily questioned angrily.

She grabbed Evelyn’s collar and shouted, "It should be you lying in there; it should be you who’s dying! What kind of sin did my son commit in his past life to end up with a woman like you?"

Listening to Lily’s words, Evelyn could only lower her head, repeatedly saying "I’m sorry."

"If anything happens to my son, it’s all on you!" Lily raged, "You should die, it’s you who should die!"

Saying this, Lily, overwhelmed with grief, raised her hand and slapped Evelyn across the face.
