Chapter 242

"Those are my mom and dad." Evelyn frowned and retorted.

Although her physical condition forced her to stay with William, she was only willing to be taken care of. It didn't mean she was willing to restore their previous relationship.

William frowned, "Do we really have to draw such clear lines? I already said I know I was wrong. From now on, I'll take good care of you and spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Can't you just give me one chance?"

He walked to the bedside, slowly crouched down, and looked directly into Evelyn's eyes, "Evelyn, everything in the past was my fault. I was young and foolish and liked to mess around. I know I was wrong. From now on, I'll only be with you, okay? Please stop rejecting me."

Like holding a priceless treasure, he gently took Evelyn's hand, "No matter what, the past is the past. I can promise you. If you don't believe me, I can do a property agreement and transfer all my assets to your name. How about that?"

As the heir to a wealthy family, William's willingness to put all his assets up for certification was already the biggest guarantee possible.

Evelyn looked stunned when she heard this, "You..."

"There's a saying that you only learn to cherish something after you've lost it, and that's exactly what happened to me. If I had known we would end up like this, you could have killed me and I still wouldn't have gotten involved with Isabella in any way. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter for you."

After thinking for a moment, William added, "Besides, my relationship with Isabella isn't at all what you think. In your eyes, I still have feelings for her, that I have some special attachment to her, but actually it's just because she saved my life."

At this point, there was nothing he couldn't say.

After investigating all those terrible things Isabella had done, he was shocked to his core.

No matter what, no matter what kind of debt he owed, it had been repaid. Now there was only deep hatred.

He was determined that once he found Isabella, he would make her pay dearly, or else his anger would never be satisfied.

Under Evelyn's puzzled gaze, he told her about what happened when he was young.

Back then, William's parents were getting divorced and the family was falling apart, while young William had no one to look after him.

During that time, he felt an unprecedented loneliness and became increasingly withdrawn.

At school, he kept to himself and didn't care about anyone. But once, when he went out riding his bike, he ran into some thugs who surrounded him.

The place where he was trapped was very remote. William couldn't fight them all off, and just when he thought they would beat him to death, Isabella appeared out of nowhere and saved him.

So from then on, he kept Isabella within his circle of protection.

Of course, that pure and innocent girl back then was indeed worth protecting. Seeing someone in danger, even though she was scared to death herself, she still stepped forward.

Who could have imagined that in just a few years, she would become like that.

William sighed with emotion, "I've already repaid that debt from back then. The money I gave her and the opportunities I provided were enough to repay her for saving my life. From now on, I won't be polite anymore."

Thinking about Evelyn's current physical condition, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

Evelyn suddenly spoke up, "So my physical condition is worse than what I know, right?"

After years of marriage, although she had been in a daze during that period, she still understood the person in front of her somewhat.

If her body wasn't in terrible condition, William would never give up all his work to stay with her.

Evelyn's eyes were intense, staring at William without missing any of his expressions.

William was obviously stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses and tried to lie, he couldn't get the words out. It was as if someone had grabbed him by the throat and he couldn't say a single word.

A tear slid down from the corner of Evelyn's eye, "Forget it. Even if you don't say it, I already know. It doesn't matter anyway, but I only have one request. You absolutely cannot let my parents know."

As for the relationship with William.

After hearing those things just now, she did soften a bit.

But so what? The past was the past, and the hurt from back then was real.

It was impossible to forget the pain of that time just because someone apologized.

Evelyn's voice carried a note of sadness, "Do you know? During those dark and confused days, you were my everything. You were the only sun in my dark life, but this sun would occasionally go shine on someone else."

"Do you know how I felt when I saw you being all close with another person? At that time, I felt like the sky was falling. But it's okay, it's all in the past now. I've been reborn. No matter what happens in the future, I hope we can be friends, not enemies."

William's heart tightened, "How can it be like this? I told you, I'll always be with you. Forget it, you won't believe me anyway. Time will prove everything."

The night grew darker. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

The moment the door closed, Evelyn could no longer control herself and buried her head in the blanket, crying.

Since waking up, whether it was Stella or William, they all avoided talking about her physical condition.

Even a fool would know the situation must be very bad.

Evelyn touched the bandages on her body with her hand, and her tears flowed even harder.

Isabella, that vicious person.

She would never let her go.

William and Matthew cast a wide net, searching for Isabella both domestically and abroad.

And the person everyone was looking for was currently hiding in a remote house.

In the darkness, learning that Evelyn had been rescued and wasn't seriously hurt, was still alive, and that her uterus hadn't been removed and her legs weren't broken, Isabella gritted her teeth in hatred.

"What kind of job did you people do? Didn't I say that falling off that cliff would mean death or serious injury? What happened? Why is she still perfectly fine?"

The man standing nearby twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Did you even listen to what I said? Although she's alive now, her condition is serious. If it gets worse, they'll have to remove her uterus, and also..."

"Shut up! Don't you understand what I'm saying? What I mean is I want her to never be able to stand up again for the rest of her life, to become a loser forever. You didn't achieve the goal at all."

"You're all useless. I spent tens of millions of dollars. Is this the result I bought? Go and kill her right now, or create a medical accident. I want to make sure Evelyn can never compete with me for a man for the rest of her life."
