Walter’s voice echoed in Evangeline’s mind, but she could not wrap her head around it.
Was he genuinely relieved she survived that massive car accident? If he was, it was probably more about the baby she was carrying, right?
Evangeline was caught up in her thoughts when suddenly, she felt a weight lift off her.
She was no longer trapped–she was free.
A big, strong hand helped her open the car door as a voice came to her, reminding, “Be careful, Evangeline.”
Walter spoke like they were just strangers exchanging polite words.
However, Evangeline did not care anymore.
“Got it, thanks,” she replied politely, stepped out, and walked away.
Actually, she had stopped caring a while ago.
She had almost given up her life to save Walter once. However, Walter had given her a new life in return, so they were even.
After parting ways with Walter, Evangeline did not head back to the villa. Instead, she went straight to the Foster family’s security office.
Three of her uncles showed up too. However, James Foster had to leave quickly because of work.
Holden explained to Evangeline that James’s law firm hired a new assistant who was a total mess, always mixing up client files. For the firm’s reputation, James had to rush back.
Evangeline found it odd.
James was known for his precision in legal affairs. This new assistant, who kept making constant mistakes, must be a disaster.
With James’s no–nonsense style, why would he keep such an assistant?
“You don’t think Uncle James… has something else going on with the assistant, do you?”
Holden frowned for a second but then noticed Evangeline’s knowing look and broke into a mischievous grin, nodding. “Oh, it’s possible! I’ve never seen James so rattled before! Next time I catch him, I’ll make sure he spills everything!” Holden declared with his hands on his hips, looking at Evangeline with fierce
determination.
While the two joked around, Yale emerged from the interrogation room.
“What’s got you two so chatty?” he asked, pulling up a chair and sitting down, still clutching a stack of
papers.
“We’re talking about Uncle James. It seems like he’s up to something, maybe bringing back a new aunt for
me…

Evangeline and Holden shared a knowing grin, bursting into laughter.
“Seriously? That would be another big celebration for the Foster family then, huh?”
Evangeline zeroed in on the word ‘another‘.
“Is there another happy occasion?”
Yale scratched his chin, gave Evangeline a thoughtful look, and then handed over the documents. “Take a look…”
Evangeline took the papers, realizing they were her mother’s old medical records and hospital files!
“Uncle Yale, is this the hospital where Mom stayed before she passed?” Evangeline’s face brightened with surprise, but it quickly turned serious.
Right there on the cover, the words ‘Frin Mental Hospital‘ stood out starkly.
“How could Mom have been mentally ill?”
The question popped out before she could stop it, and Holden gave her a sympathetic look.
He patted her shoulder gently, as if trying to lend her his strength.
