Chapter 72 

Being suddenly scolded, Caleb darkened his face, looking at Evelyn’s treated wound with lingering fear 

“I’m afraid of doing it poorly and making her condition worse Caleb spoke intermittently Recalling his own behavior that day, he 

quickly exposed Evelyn’s other shoulder, took a close look, and gasped in shock 

Henry also turned his head to look over. Instantly, he flared up 

A clear purplish–blue handprint was imprinted on Evelyn’s left shoulder. The surrounding skin appeared to have been subjected to strong pressure, turning a dark black color, which looked particularly frightening 

Henry then noticed that Evelyn’s right shoulder had a long gash from colliding with something, with no visible fingerprin He compared it with the left shoulder. It was easy to see that the wounds on Evelyn’s shoulders were mostly from a man violence. 

Caleb looked at the 

pinch her so hardsunds and could hardly speak. Even if they had been dealt with, they still felt like fresh wounds. Did he 

Henry, indeed an experienced doctor, saw the situation, and his expression changed for a moment before he silently took out a few bottles of medicine from the medical kit and handed them to Caleb. “Use alcohol to disinfect her shoulder, then apply the medicine every two hours. Make sure to be gentle. Otherwise, the wounds may worsen and become susceptible to infection, he said. 

Caleb quickly and carefully took the medicine, not daring to look at Evelyn again. Thank you, Henry. Shall I have someone send you back?” 

Henry packed the medicine box and huffed heavily. This girl must be the one your mother is fond of, right? I’ve met her a few times before. She was such a sweet girl before. Look at her now. She’s become so thin, as if she hasn’t eaten in years. Poor girl 

Caleb’s gaze shifted to the woman lying quietly on the bed, glancing down from her thin face. That particularly prominent collarbone and an arm that could be easily encircled with just one hand. Evelyn seemed to be really too skinny. When she was dressed in long sleeves, she didn’t look very thin when she stood upright. However, now when she was lying on the bed listlessly, Caleb could truly see how skinny Evelyn really was. Was she so haggard before! 

Caleb sat on the bed, lifting his hand gently to trace Evelyn’s sleeping face, 

When he first met her at the age of twenty–three, Evelyn was pretty much like the current Zoey. Because Evelyn graduated from university early and was running her own company, she dressed herself more maturely. Yet, she still retained the vitality of a young girl. That year, during their first meeting through a blind date, he took a quick glance at her. Although he couldn’t recall Evelyn’s appearance at that time, now he faintly remembers a bit. It was a youthful vitality unique to ale students, something not found in Ava, who was associated with showbiz. Over the past few years, however, he had increasingly been unable to see Evelyn like that. 

Caleb slowly bent down, gazing at the sleeping face right before his eyes. His breathing became slower and slower. Just as the distance between them was getting closer, a telephone ring sounded urgently. 

Caleb abruptly raised his head, realizing that he just wanted to kiss Evelyn. His ears were burning hot. He hurriedly got up from the bed, picked up his phone, and saw it was Ava. 

Caleb looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed and walked to the door. “Ava?” he ansered the phone. 

“Caleb. Is Evelyn alright?” 

“She’s fine,” Caleb replied coldly. 

On the other end of the phone, Ava immediately bit her lip until it bled when she heard this voice laced with coldness. The
