Take My Breath Away

Evelyn had only been in D City for half a month, yet she had ended up like this. Terilynn blamed herself. Perhaps she shouldn't have recommended that Evelyn go to D City. If she had gone somewhere else, such things would not have happened.

Evelyn hugged Debbie and said, "Mom, I know. I'm tired and want to rest for a while. You should go home now."

Debbie sighed and turned to her younger kids. "Matthew, you go to school. Terilynn, go home. I'll stay here and take care of Piggy."

Matthew left the ward with Terilynn. Debbie helped Evelyn into bed and watched her fall asleep before she went to see the attending physician.

The moment Debbie left the room, Evelyn opened her eyes.

She lifted her hand from under the bed cover and stared at the string of numbers on her palm, blankly.

'Should I call him?' she wondered.

For a moment, she really wanted to.

But she quickly changed her mind. She walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. After a short pause and hesitation, she squeezed some liquid soap and finally washed off the numbers.

At that very moment, Carlos was in the Huo family's villa, giving his men orders to either kill or break Sheffield's leg.

By the time Evelyn came back home from the hospital, Tayson had already had his wounds treated and the living room was back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

After making sure that Evelyn was comfortable in her room, Debbie went to Tayson's room. He was lying in his bed with a pale face.

When he heard the knock, he jumped up from the bed and opened the door. "Mrs. Huo?"

Debbie nodded. "Come to the study. I want to ask you something."

"Yes, Mrs. Huo."

In the study

Debbie sat at Carlos' desk and stared at Tayson as he walked in. "Take a seat."

He didn't refuse and sat down opposite her.

She asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I can guess why, Mrs. Huo." Such horrible things had happened to Evelyn on his watch. As her bodyguard, he had failed in his duty.

"I don't think so, Tayson. I just wanted to know if that guy really loves Evelyn. Was she happy or not when sh

Even though Sheffield was lying, he looked so calm and collected. No one would have doubted his words.

"Horace's sister? I didn't think you were so kind as to check on his sister. Do you know what she looks like?" the nurse asked, her eyes glued to his handsome face.

He searched his pocket and said, "He gave me a picture. Have you seen her?"

He held up the photo in which Evelyn was feeding an elephant in D City.

"Wow, she is so beautiful!" the nurse exclaimed.

Sheffield said with a smug smile, "Well... I think so too." 'Of course, she is beautiful. She is my woman, ' he thought proudly.

Hearing this, the other nurses immediately gathered around and looked at the picture. "Yeah! There is no way that this is Horace's sister. She doesn't look anything like him."

"We've never seen her before. I guess she's not in our department."

"Oh," said Sheffield with a frown.

He then forced a smile and took the photo from the nurse. "Since she is not here, I better go and look for her in the other departments. Thank you. I'll buy you an afternoon tea next time."

"Wow! Don't forget that!" The nurses watched him leave as they giggled amongst themselves.

Sheffield launched a thorough search of the hospital. He went to the respiratory department, the brain surgery department, the tumor department... He even went to the pediatric department looking for her, but she was nowhere.
