Chapter 98 Angelina
Chapter 98 Angelina
Evelyn sat in the cozy living room, her eyes fixed on the window as the world outside moved at its own pace.
The sun cast a gentle glow across the room, highlighting the warm tones of the wooden furniture and the soft, inviting cushions of the sofa.
She couldn't shake off the thoughts swirling in her mind, especially when the name Angelina surfaced.
If Dominic had killed Mateo, Matthew, and Lucian, where was Angelina?
Her contemplation was interrupted as Dominic entered the room, his presence immediately comforting yet bringing a new wave of questions.
He approached her with concern, sitting down beside her, his eyes searching hers for any sign of distress.
Evelyn turned to face him, her expression a mix of curiosity and worry.
"Dominic,"
she began, her voice steady but insistent,
"what happened to Angelina?"
Dominic's eyes widened slightly, taken aback by the question.
He remained silent for a moment, his jaw tightening as he weighed his response. Evelyn's persistence broke through his hesitation.
"Please, I need to know,"
she urged, her hand gently touching his.
With a deep breath, Dominic finally spoke, his voice low and filled with a gravity that matched the weight of his words.
"She's been in a coma for three months."
Evelyn's eyes widened in shock, the revelation hitting her hard. A wave of sadness washed over her, her heart aching for Angelina.
Sensing her distress, Dominic pulled her closer, his strong arms wrapping around her. He tilted her chin up gently and pressed a tender kiss to her lips, trying to distract her from the painful truth, offering solace in the only way he knew how.
His hand wrapped up in her hair , pulling her more closer. He didn’t want her to take any stress and it’d affect the babies too.
She gasped, feeling him kiss her passionately. Dominic gave her all , pulling her on his lap and kissing her. Butterflies erupted inside of her letting her feel the tingles.
“ i love you Evelyn “
Dominic said and she smiled lovingly, feeling tired before laying her head on his shoulder , feeling his warmth and nestling him.
Evelyn stood in her bedroom, contemplating the day's plan. She had told everyone she was going shopping, but her real intention was far more pressing.
She wanted to go meet Angelina. She couldn’t help but to worry about her and wanted to meet her. With Sam’s help, she had finally found Angelina's location, and today, she was determined to see her.
She called Sam, who agreed to finally take her. She was dressed up in a long summer dress and stepped out of the bedroom and noticed Sam waiting with a concerned look on her face.
“ are you sure ? “
Sam asked , her voice filled with concern but Evelyn was determined.
" yes , i want to see her " Evelyn began, her voice low and filled with emotion. She recounted the events of the past months, from Dominic's shocking revelation about Angelina to the turmoil she had been feeling ever since.
Sam listened intently, her expression growing more serious with each detail.
After a long and heartfelt conversation, Sam placed a reassuring hand on Evelyn's.
" don’t worry, Let's go see her,"
She said softly.
They left the house and drove in silence to the hospital where Angelina was staying. Dominic had gone to a meeting with Alex. Dad and Ethan had gone to their house to check on a few things and jack had taken the others to grocery shopping.
Evelyn’s heart pounded with a mix of fear and anticipation. When they reached the hospital, Sam led the way to Angelina's room.
Evelyn hesitated at the door, her hand hovering over the handle. Sam gave her an encouraging nod, and she took a deep breath before opening the door.
Inside, the room was quiet and dimly lit. Angelina lay in the bed, her once vibrant presence now reduced to a fragile and pale figure.
Her eyes were closed, and the steady beep of the monitors was the only sound.
Evelyn’s heart broke at the sight of her friend. She moved closer, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Angelina,"
she whispered, her voice trembling.
Sam stood by her side, her presence a steadying force. She placed a comforting hand on her shoulder as Evelyn reached out and gently took Angelina's hand.
The touch was light, almost tentative, as if she feared breaking her further.
Angelina's eyes fluttered open, and she turned her head slightly towards Evelyn. Recognition flickered in her eyes, and she managed a weak smile.
"Evelyn,"
Angelina whispered, her voice barely audible.
Evelyn choked back a sob, squeezing her friend's hand gently.
" I'm here, "
she said softly, tears streaming down her face.
" I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner. "
Angelina's smile faded, replaced by a look of sadness and exhaustion.
" Mateo " she whispered.
" Dominic killed him "
Evelyn’s heart clenched. Now she can understand Angelina’s pain of losing her child.
She could only stay quiet offer what comfort they could. Evelyn’s heart ached for her , but she was grateful to finally be there, to show Angelina that she was not alone.
As they left the hospital, Evelyn felt a mix of relief and sorrow. She glanced at Sam, who gave her a supportive smile.
“ Angelina, whenever you need me , ill be there “
She scoffed making Evelyn to look at her.
“ i know what happened to you, what Mateo did to you was not acceptable but what did i do wrong ? “
Evelyn’s heart clenched at her words and Sam , understanding , quickly held her hand saying it was time to leave and they soon walked out.
"Thank you,"
Evelyn said, her voice filled with gratitude.
"I couldn't have done this without you."
Sam nodded.
"We're in this together, Evelyn. Always."
Evelyn smiled and they both turned to leave but halted their steps. Evelyn’s heart dropped seeing …… Dominic staring at her and he didn’t look pleased.
“ we’re dead “
Sam whispered as they both stared at Dominic who stood there looking angry.
