Chapter 621: We’re Sorry, We Did Our Best
L had instructed Jessica Rhodes that there wasn’t any time to waste, and they must ensure Evelyn Morgan survived before discussing anything else.
As he watched Jessica’s back, Caden Lockwood stood in place, feeling as though his heart was pierced by countless sharp blades, torn and bloody.
The words of Jessica echoed in his ears, and thinking of L being Evelyn’s biological brother, Caden was at a loss. In such a state, what right did he have to keep Evelyn by his side?
Even if he forced her, she probably wouldn’t be willing anymore, would she?
Caden couldn’t help but look at Logan Shaw.
If it were Logan, surely he wouldn’t have let Evelyn fall into such a crisis!
Caden’s heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of depression, and he was even starting to concede.
Perhaps... he and Evelyn really weren’t meant for each other.
Evelyn had also said it herself, they weren’t a good match.
If he hadn’t clung so persistently, unwilling to let go, the current situation wouldn’t have arisen.
"L?" Logan frowned, his tone unwilling as he asked, "What exactly is his relationship with Evelyn?"
Caden averted his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Logan.
He didn’t want to think about anything else right now, nor did he want to deal with anything else.
All he wanted was for Evelyn to be alive and safe, that would suffice...
As time ticked by, Caden and Logan remained standing at the entrance of the operating room, waiting for any news about Evelyn.
The longer Evelyn stayed in the operating room, the more dangerous it was for her.
At this moment, no news might be the best news!
Caden’s heart was torn with contradictions, he almost couldn’t contain himself, wanting to rush into the operating room to see how Evelyn was doing.
Finally, the door of the operating room opened and a nurse stepped out.
Caden and Logan had been poised, taking a big step forward and anxiously asked, "How is Evelyn?"
The nurse looked at Caden and Logan, and let out a heavy sigh.
"Wh-what’s wrong?" Caden’s eyes trembled, and his entire body began to shake uncontrollably.
The nurse’s expression, could it be...
"I’m very sorry." The nurse lowered her eyes, "We’ve done... our best, but the patient was severely injured, we..."
"Impossible!" Caden shouted out.
Immediately after, he rushed into the operating room.
Caden’s legs were weak, with each step he took, he felt his body sinking.
It was as though a massive mountain was pressing on him, threatening to crush him, never to rise again.
At this moment, Caden had only one thought: Evelyn couldn’t die!
If Death insisted on claiming a life, it should take his!
Why should Evelyn die?
What did she do wrong?
The one at fault was him!
He shouldn’t have forced her, shouldn’t have treated her that way!
"Evelyn!" Caden burst into the operating room, looking at Evelyn lying on the hospital bed. She was so quiet, unlike her usual cheerful, mischievous self.
The dense smell of disinfectant mixed with the scent of blood in the operating room was extremely pungent and unpleasant. Blood was all over the white stretcher, and Evelyn lay there, pale-faced, shockingly hard to accept.
"Evelyn!" Caden tightly gripped Evelyn’s shoulders, "Wake up! Don’t die! I know I was wrong! I’ll let go, isn’t that enough? Don’t leave this way! Evelyn, wake up! Wake up! You can’t die! You can’t! I won’t allow you to die!"
