The Day Our Promise Breaks

Evelyn glanced at Adam, noticing how his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. She tried to act as if everything was perfectly fine, but her own eyes were welling up with tears.

Unable to keep them at bay, she turned her head, quickly wiping away the tears before they had a chance to fall.

"Yeah, I get it. You're the toughest guy around, nothing can bring you down! Adam, you're the best!"

Evelyn didn't want to disappoint Adam. She played along with his bravado, pretending that everything was okay, and that she wasn't hurting inside.

"You bet!" Adam replied, raising an eyebrow, trying to seem unfazed. But the heavy atmosphere in the hospital room lingered, refusing to lift.

The tension broke when Adam's teammate came in with a police officer, mentioning they needed to take Adam's statement.

After making sure Adam was okay to talk, the officer briefly explained what had happened and updated Adam on the investigation's progress.

"At first, we thought it was just a regular traffic accident, but we found evidence from a dashcam across the street that changed things."

"The driver wasn't drunk beforehand. He only started drinking after you showed up."

"But he hit you on purpose. It wasn't the accidental drunk driving he claimed it to be."noveldrama

"However, he's sticking to his story, insisting it was an accident and that he has no grudge against you."

"We're continuing the investigation and will get to the bottom of this."

"Thank you," Adam said, expressing his gratitude.

The teammate saw the police officer out, leaving the room silent once more.

The message was clear: Adam's accident wasn't an accident. It was intentional. Someone had paid the driver to hurt Adam.

Given the timing, Evelyn couldn't help but suspect Charles and Dahlia.

Sandy was critically ill, and Charles was deeply invested in her recovery.

Adam had refused to donate a kidney to Sandy, and Charles might have orchestrated the accident to get Adam's kidney to save her.

Adam was an orphan, with no family ties.

Years ago he and Evelyn had signed organ donation agreements, stating that if anything happened to them, their organs would be donated to those in need.

With Charles's influence, finding this out wouldn't have been hard. He planned to

stage an accident to harm Adam and get his kidney.

Evelyn felt her anger boiling over.

How could Charles risk Adam's life just for Sandy?

Whether it was two years ago or now, in Charles's eyes, only Sandy's life

mattered, while Charlie's and Adam's did not.

Why should Charlie and Adam have to sacrifice for Sandy?

"Please take care of Adam for me," Evelyn said, her chest heaving with emotion. She struggled to keep her voice steady as she spoke to Adam's teammate who had just entered, before rushing out the door.

She headed to the hospital where Sandy was staying.

Thanks to Dahlia's high-profile presence, she quickly found out where Sandy's

room was.

Evelyn stormed towards it.

At the door, she saw Charles sitting beside Sandy's bed, with Sandy nestled comfortably against him.

Charles was gently coaxing her to eat, his eyes filled with tender affection. This

only fueled the cold fury burning within Evelyn.

Charlie was his own daughter, yet she had never received such warmth, not even

a kind word. It was all reserved for Sandy.

Her inner hatred transformed into a blazing fury.

Evelyn kicked the door open and stormed in. She overturned the t by the

bed, sending the hot soet

spilling towards Charles and Sandy.
