Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Still Entangled with Other Men
Evelyn stood still, watching Lily Thorne’s hand about to strike, yet she did not dodge.
Tears streamed down her face, and the guilt in Evelyn’s heart intensified, like a balloon about to explode, ready to rupture at any moment.
She only felt a gust of wind sweep towards her face, and then Evelyn saw the hand, just a hair’s breadth from her, being tightly caught by another hand.
Evelyn’s eyes trembled as she looked at the suddenly appearing Logan Shaw. Her expression darkened, and even her breathing became uneven.
"Auntie," Logan said softly, "I think Evelyn hasn’t done anything wrong. It was Mr. Lockwood himself who chose to save Evelyn, so please don’t vent your sadness on her."
As he spoke, Logan released Lily’s hand and stood in front of Evelyn, his intention to protect her very clear.
"Ha!" Lily sneered.
She glanced at Logan, then at Evelyn, disdainful suspicion gleaming in her eyes.
"Evelyn Morgan, I’ve heard about your situation," Lily’s tone was unfriendly, "Even when you became Mrs. Lockwood, you were still ambiguous with other men. And now, my son is lying in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance, yet you’ve called this man here again?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"It’s not what you think!" Evelyn hastily explained, "Between Logan and I, it’s really..."
"Don’t try to use the same tricks you did on my son to deceive me!" Lily glared angrily at Evelyn, "Last time we met, I didn’t like you, but I wasn’t against you. But this time, if something happens to my son, do you think you’ll get off easily?"
"Mr. Lockwood hasn’t had an accident yet," Logan said coldly, "Auntie, at times like this, you should stay calm. I believe when Mr. Lockwood comes out of the operating room, what he hopes to see is you and Evelyn getting along peacefully." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Lily looked at Logan, her eyes becoming increasingly complicated.
"I’m really sorry," Evelyn continued to apologize, "I’m truly sorry."
For a moment, Lily didn’t speak, twirling her hair with her little finger, her face filled with deep worry.
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat.
This gesture from Lily really reminded Evelyn of her deceased mother, especially now, she felt Lily’s sorrowful demeanor was very much like her mother’s.
Evelyn lightly shook her head, believing she was overwhelmed by longing for her mother.
Clearly, Lily and her mother didn’t look anything alike!
Facing Evelyn’s scrutiny, a deep emotion flickered in Lily’s eyes.
Lily looked away, took a deep breath, and her grief slightly calmed.
"My son will indeed be fine, but Evelyn Morgan, you must understand that you truly have no right to be Mrs. Lockwood."
With those words, Lily turned and left.
Watching Lily’s departing figure, Evelyn’s tearful eyes blurred, she bit her thin lips, not allowing herself to sob aloud.
Right now, Caden Lockwood is undergoing surgery, he’s still being rescued, she cannot cry!
She has to believe he won’t die!
He said he still wanted to take her to do so many romantic things!
If she sobbed miserably, it would be as if something might happen to him.
Thinking this, Evelyn quickly wiped her tears, sniffed, and tried hard to stay composed.
Watching Evelyn’s painful yet forcibly restrained look, Logan felt deeply uncomfortable.
When he rushed to the place where Evelyn was kidnapped, only some police officers were finishing up work.
He ultimately arrived too late.
He couldn’t be the one to save Evelyn.
