Chapter 231: The Most Unwise Choice

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Most Unwise Choice

Before Julian Sterling could even react, sure enough, Alex Grant walked out of Evelyn Grant’s hospital room.

He seemed to be heading out to buy something, checking the location on his phone as he walked.

Julian Sterling only dared to emerge after Alex Grant was a good distance away. He then snuck over to Evelyn Grant’s room and peeked inside.

Julian Sterling longed to catch a glimpse of the woman he’d been missing day and night, but unfortunately, the door to her room was closed.

It separated him from the person inside.

To say he wasn’t disappointed would be a lie.

He had come all this way, and aside from hearing Evelyn Grant’s voice, he hadn’t even managed to see her!

Julian Sterling let out a soft sigh and prepared to turn and leave.

Suddenly—

The door to the room was opened from the inside!

Evelyn Grant emerged, holding a trash bag from the room’s bin, on her way to throw it out.

It was so sudden that Julian Sterling, completely unprepared, came face-to-face with Evelyn Grant!

He instinctively tugged at his mask and hat, trying to use them as a disguise.

Most people were used to seeing him in a crisp suit; it was rare for anyone to see him in casual clothes.

But...

That didn’t include Evelyn Grant.

She had seen Julian Sterling in casual clothes before. Not only that, she had even seen him in his pajamas! So it didn’t matter what he wore; she would recognize him even if he were reduced to ash.

"What are you doing here again?"

The moment Evelyn Grant spoke, the atmosphere plunged to a freezing point.

Her tone was that of a complete stranger.

This made Julian Sterling more than a little awkward. "Eve, I just came to see how you were. I wasn’t going to bother you, I just wanted a quick peek from the door! You coming out was a complete accident..."

He really had been about to give up and leave just a moment ago.

Evelyn Grant’s face was cold, her expression devoid of any hint of a smile. "I don’t need you checking up on me, Julian Sterling. Are you incapable of understanding what I say? Or do I have to leave this city so you can never find me again?"

"Don’t! Please don’t go! Eve, your mother’s condition is too fragile for that kind of disruption. And your brother, Alex Grant, is about to take his college entrance exams. Moving now would be the worst possible choice!"

"Do I need you to analyze the situation for me? I just need you to stay away from me!"

’If it weren’t for him, the thought of leaving wouldn’t have even crossed my mind!’

But Julian Sterling was like a persistent ghost, and Evelyn Grant found it utterly infuriating.

"Okay, I’ll stay away from you! Just don’t leave, I’m begging you. Even just knowing we’re in the same city would give me some peace of mind."

Evelyn Grant had to laugh at that.

After all, Julian Sterling was the one who had started all of this. He was the one who had carefully arranged every detail to lead her into his trap and get her to agree to the divorce.

Now that he had gotten everything he wanted, he had the audacity to turn around and act like he was deeply in love!

’If I still believed him, I’d be no different from a fool.’

She couldn’t stand to hear another word from Julian Sterling. She spun around and went straight back into the room, not even bothering to throw out the trash.

SLAM! The door was thrown shut with a loud noise.

The young nurse on duty heard the noise and came jogging out.

Seeing that the argument had come from Julian Sterling’s direction, she gave him a look of understanding and sympathy.

"Got kicked out? Miss Grant always seems like such a gentle person; she never even uses a harsh word. For you to make her this angry... what on earth did you do?"

Julian Sterling lowered his head. "It’s nothing. There were just some misunderstandings between us that ultimately led to our divorce."
