Chapter 80
“Ah!” Evelyn glared at Caleb, feeling totally overwhelmed, and hurriedly replied, “Aron, my friend’s gotta take his meds, so I hang up now. Talk later!”
As soon as she finished her words, Caleb quickly hung up the phone for her.
And then he grinned at Evelyn.
“Where is my medicine? Can you feed me?”
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him. “Are You Insane?”
She turned her head to look at her shoulder and then looked at Caleb. He suddenly looked a little embarrassed. She snorted. Well, do you think I can lift my hand to feed you?”
This was an extremely embarrassing question. Caleb cleared his throat and stared at Evelyn, which made her fee! uncomfortable.
Evelyn felt a keen awareness that Caleb’s recent behavior hinted at growing feelings. She started to hope again, a bitter laugh escaping her. She must be under Caleb’s spell.
But the moment she thought about the past, she was scared to face her guesses, tempted to run away from them, just like
now.
I’m sorry, I didn’t know why I couldn’t control myself that day. I hope you can forgive me.”
Caleb stood by the bed, tracing the outline of Evelyn’s face before his fingers gently brushed over her bandaged shoulder.
At Caleb’s touch, Evelyn felt a spark. Even through the bandage, her shoulder felt scorched.
Evelyn looked at Caleb seriously and could clearly see herself reflected in his black eyes.
She recalled a saying: if a man gazes at you so closely that your reflection is clear in his eyes, then for that moment, you’re in his heart, since eyes are windows to the soul.
At that time, it was probably in the university. These words made her have a lot of romantic and funny illusions about her soul mate.
After graduating and settling in Glovia relying on Evelyn Jewelry, when Evelyn first met Caleb, she believed she’d found her youthful ideal.
With a smile on her face, she arched her eyebrows, which made Caleb stunned.
“I can forgive you. But who can forgive me for losing my own child?”
Caleb’s expression was complicated. Evelyn, with a forced smile, was clearly filled with loathing. The warmth in his heart chilled in an instant.
