Carlos called Dixon and quickly made so arrangents. After getting everything in order, he hung up the phone and stared at Evelyn's bedroom door, deep in thought.
After dinner, Evelyn finally plucked up so courage to call Sheffield.
However, to her disappointnt, his phone was switched off. "Sorry, the subscriber you have dialed is currently unavailable."
Evelyn tried calling him a few more tis after that, but to no avail. In the end, she gave up.
Ever since Evelyn was pregnant, she stopped going to the company. Carlos gave no explanation as to why she suddenly decided to quit her job.
As such, people's imaginations ran wild, creating baseless narratives, one stranger than the other. So guessed that Evelyn was so devastated by what Calvert did that she decided to go on a soul-healing vacation.
As ti went by, Evelyn's whereabouts beca a mystery. Despite all the dia reporters' best efforts, no one could tell where she was.
Two years later, in Leafside Village, D City
The entire village was ho to a bustling population set against the backdrop of the ruins of dilapidated houses.
A gray-colored, seven-seater minivan slowly stopped opposite a small clinic at the entrance of the village. Without rolling down the window, the woman in the car stared at the shabby clinic.
Sitting in the back seat of the minivan, she squinted her eyes to get a closer look and found a doctor examining a crying child with his stethoscope.
The doctor's white uniform looked relatively new. Neither his clothing nor his temperant fit in well with this run-down village.
Having noticed what was wrong with the child, the doctor began to write down the prescription on paper. "Give him Western dicine first. Then switch back to Chinese dicine after he's better."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Dr. Tang." The plainly-dressed woman, who was holding the child in her arms, looked at him with gratitude.
He was the most skilled and handso doctor in all the nearby villages. He could easily draw a long queue of patients from here, all the way to the opposite side of the road. It was already past noon, and this child was his last patient for the morning.
Any outsider would simply assu that he didn't have many patients, but the truth was that Sheffield had a lot of patients on his waiting list this afternoon.
A woman in a nurse's uniform ca out of the inner chamber
co to you?" she asked again.
"Because she... misses ." This ti, he wore a hearty smile on his face.
"What? Is she one of your admirers?" There were many won who wanted to be with Sheffield. Even the widows in the village wanted to get close to him.
'One of my admirers?' Sheffield didn't deny it. "Yes," he replied with a smirk.
"Well, do you like her?" she asked, holding her breath in expectation.
As Sheffield took out his phone, he replied, "No, I don't."
His answer certainly relieved the girl's worries. Fortunately, she still had a chance to be with him.
However, what Sheffield didn't tell the nurse was that he didn't want Evelyn to be just his friend. Never. He denied liking Evelyn because the word "like" wasn't strong enough to describe his feelings for her—Evelyn was the only woman he had ever loved so dearly.
Soon after, Sheffield sent Joshua a ssage. "Hey dude, do you miss ?"
The man responded almost imdiately, "Yes, I do. I miss you so much that I'm about to cry."
"Well, it's ti for to co back," replied Sheffield with a bigger smile.
It had been two years and it was ti to settle accounts with so people.
In the Huo family manor, Y City
Evelyn got out of the minivan and walked into the villa in her high heels.
In the living room, Carlos was holding a baby girl in his arms. "Gwyn, I'll put you to bed when you are full," he coaxed her. The baby was Gwyneth, Sheffield and Evelyn's daughter.
Debbie heard the noise of Evelyn's high heels and stuck her head out of the kitchen. "Evelyn, you are back! How is it going?"
