Chapter 14
When Martin woke up, he was in the hospital.
It was already the next morning
Isabel was filled with surprise and excitement, “Martin, you woke up, how do you feel?“.
Seeing that he ignored people, I spoke again, “The doctor said that only low blood sugar can cause fainting, so have something.”
Martin looked out of the window, his lips pale. He whispered, “Isabel, don’t come looking for me anymore.”
Isabel’s face turned pale, and she forced a bitter smile, saying “Alright, once you eat ime,
I won’t come back anymore.”
Martin finished his porridge and lay back down, clearly indicating that he wanted the person to leave.
The room was filled with lonelines
Isabel gazed deeply at Martin, as it wanting to etch his image in her mind, and then smiled and said, “I’m leaving, Martin.”
Wallding to the door, she turned back reluctantly to gaze at Martin.
The sunlight fell on his face, revealing handsome features, she silently murmured in her heart.
Martin, never to be seen again.
The following days.
Martin, as usual, went to work and came back home, just like before.
His expression just became colder, he used to smile occasionally in the past, hur now he didn’t smile anymore.
Until that day, Mr. Wilson received a call from the lawyer, “Mr. Wilson, the case of Evelyn’s mother, the trial is tomorrow.”
Martin hung up the phone, and he instinctively touched the um. His eyes gradually turned red, but he couldn’t shed any tears no matter how hard he tried.
Even if the murderer was brought to justice, Evelyn would not come back
The next day, the court held a hearing
Evelyn’s mother sat in the defendant’s seat, still arguing for herself, “Your Honor, I truly didn’t know that she would die from just a fall. I thought at most she would have a miscarriage. I really didn’t mean it.”
Martin’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but clench his teeth
Up undl now, there has been no remorse, and still, there is a tendency to argue.
The lawyers on both sides argued incessantly, and ultimately the court pronounced its judgment.
“The case concluded that the defendant’s actions constituted the crime of involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced him to seven years of imprisonment with immediate execution.”
“You can appeal the verdict immediately if
you are dissatisfied
Everything was resolved, and it was time to make a decision.
Martin held the urn in his hands and slowly made his way to the seaside.
The wind was warm, just like Evelyn.
He couldn’t help but reminisce about the time when he was with Evelyn.
Back then, the transition from being colleagues to bring spouses occurred.
The two of them also had a lot of julmes..
Just a moment ago, they were embracing intimately, but as soon as work came, Evelyn immediately distanced herself and started reporting the work seriously.
Only Martin was left looking at his empty hands, feeling both amused and frustrated
He thought marrying her was because of responsibility.

Later, it was leiderstood that it was because of love.
He opened the urn, paused for a moment, and then slowly scattered the ashes into the sea.
The sea breeze tousled his hair and also blew away Evelyn’s last presence.
y heart also felt empty, Evelyn, if there is a next life, I will definitely treat you well.
My l
When the box was empty, Martin stood for a long time, not knowing what to write. He only left when the wind started to blow
The sky gradually darkened, and it looked like it was going to rain.
He walked aimlessly, without any worries.
George called and said, “Mr.”
. Wilson…”
He nodded and, with a turn of his gaze, caught sight of a familiar figure.
Martin’s heart skipped a heat, and he quickly chased after.
But the heavens seemed to be playing tricks, as the crowd gradually surged forward.
He went against the crowd, watching people walk to the zebra crossing.
At that moment, an out–of–control car rushed towards that figure.
Martin’s pupils contracted, and he burst with astonishing strength, pushing the man away.
With a loud “bang,” it echoed through the sky.
His body fell to the ground, uncontrollably spitting out frothy blood from his mouth, while his eyes gradually grew dim
The figure approached him, and he finally saw her face.
“Evelyn… is that you?”
Chapter 15
Martin felt a splitting headache, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to see George’s delighted expression.
“Mr. Wilson, you woke up, doctor doctor…” she shouted and ran out.
The doctor examined it thoroughly and confirmed that there was no problem. Just do the rehabilitation properly.
George nodded and saw
the doctor off. After he came back, he tidied up the bed and said, “Mr. Wilson, you were really lucky this time. You have been lying down for a week, and you finally woke up.”
Martin was in pain all over his body. He opened his dry lips and asked, “What happened to me?”
George was startled. Was he suffering from amnesia?
Thought about ringing the bell again.
Martin glanced, recognizing the familiar look in George’s eyes. He chuckled and lowered his hand.
“You saved a girl, and this moment is probably coming soon.”
The door made a fitting sound and the familiar face of the visitor left Martin stunned.
Almond–shaped eyes, oval face, those familiar eyes were filled with galaxes, as if they illuminated the entire night.
After a moment, a look of incredulity flashed in Martin’s eyes.
That face, it was Evelynl
The scene before my eyes was extremely shocking. The deceased person was standing right in front of me, and in the next instant, a feeling of regaining what was lost burst forth in my heart.
His lips trembled slightly, and he even breathed more lightly, afraid of scaring people away
Martin stared at Evelyn without moving, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and he called out in a low voice, “Evelyn”
e newcomer was a bit confused, with unfamiliarity evident in her eyes, she asked, “Do you know me?”
Ther
Martin was stunned, memories suddenly flooded back, and the pain made him faint again.
When he woke up again, his thoughts gradually cleared.
memory, Isabel did go back to her home country, and she did join the company. She had not resigned yet, and everything was
Based on the scene in my mi exactly the same.
The only difference was Evelyn, who had never appeared in his life.
And this car accident was the first time he saw her.
He thought that he might have traveled to a parallel world.
And Evelyn, was still alive.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth, starting to look forward to her arrival tomorrow.
The next day.
“Knock, knock, knock came the sound of knocking on the door
The person wore frameless glasses and looked refined and cultured.
Surprisingly, it was Reed Peterson, the president of the Peterson Group, who entered with Evelyn following closely behind him, dressed in a black suit,
14 gentle smile on his face, and Martin, who had crossed paths with him before, lew that he was a sly fox with a polite exterior but a cunning
He had
Interier.
“Mr. Wilson, you seem to have recovered quite well,” Reed said with a concerned expression, but his tone seemed mocking,
Belyn looked helpless, placed the brought fruits on the table, and smiled, “Mr. Wilson, a small token of goodwill, wishing you a speedy recovery.”
Martin’s eyes flickered, restraining his longing as he tightly focused on the person in front of him, quickly regaining control and withdrawing his
emotions.
Reed, who was standing aside, saw this scene and his smile faded.
Chapter 15
He picked up the chair and sat down without hesitation, also remembering to pick up another one placed nearby.
Evelyn looked helpless, but she still sat down obediently
Martin’s pupils contracted as he watched the familiar gestures between the two people. His hand, clenched tightly under the blanket, remained silent
He lowered his pace and replied coldly, “How does Mr. Peterson have the time to come
Reed, as if he hadn’t seen any unwelcoming expression, continued to smile and said, “Mr. Wilson saved our project manager, so of course I have to thank
Martin Ilfred his head and politely replied, “No need, it’s just a small effort.”
Evelyn peered behind him, politely and gratefully saying, “Mr. Wilson, I am truly grateful for your life–saving kindness. If there is anything I can help within the future, please do not hesitate to reach mit to me.
Martin nodded slightly, Evelyn in front of him still looked familiar, but there was no longer any affection or longing in her eyes. In her eyes, he was just a
strenger
After visiting, Evelyn and the other person left the ward.
As soon as Reed stepped out of the door, he frowned and said, “Evelyn, you wouldn’t have liked that dog of a man, would you?

Chapter 16
Evelyn hold her forehead in pain, looking helpless. “Don’t speak nonsense, he was my lifesaver.”
At that moment, the wind lifted her hair, and Reed leaned in, softening her expression. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes as she asked, “And what about me?!!
Evelyn pushed her head away and sald coldly, “Mr. Peterson, it’s time to work.”
“Evelyn, take a break, please,” Reed said with a tired expression.
After graduating from university, she went abroad for further studies with the support of Roed. It was only in the past two years that she returned to her home country and worked her way up from a junior staff member to a project department manager.
Evelyn was very grateful to him, bet that was as far as it went.
II possible, she hoped to save some money after repaying the debt and then live a retired life of traveling around the world.
Instead of constantly working in the workplace and waiting until your body collapses before thinking about going out, it will be too late.
At that time, Evelyn’s mother called.
Evelyn quicldy hung up the phone, and the next second, she dialed again.
Watching the constantly vibrating phone, Reed blinked and advised, “Evelyn, you have to deal with it. Avoiding it won’t solve the problem.”
Evelyn looked helpless and said, “After all, they were my parents.”
Reed looked serious and said, “Since you can’t bear it, I will help you solve it, as long as you say one word.”
Evelyn’s style was well–organized, so her approach was to focus on winning bearts.
They could sell someone and still count the money for him.
Maybe he could solve it?
Immediately, she decided to give up on the idea. She didn’t want him to see her embarrassed side.
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone. Evelyn’s mother’s angry voice came through, “Evelyn, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Evelyn sneered, “Mom, wanting money with this attitude won’t do.”
Evelyn’s mother paused for a moment and then gritted her teeth, saying, “Daughter, we are going to discuss the marriage with the in–laws tomorrow. Your brother’s wedding is such a big event, as his sister, you should at least lend a hand.”
“Tomorrow I will go together, send me the location.” After saying this sentence, be immediately hung up the phone.
The next day was a rainy day.
When Evelyn arrived at the hotel, both parties had already sat down to discuss.
As soon as Evelyn arrived, the in–laws immediately put on a smile.
Father–in–law greeted, “So this is Evelyn, impressive, becoming a manager at such a young age.”
Evelyn’s mother smilled happily, thinlding that Evelyn was just there to show face.
Unfortunately, to their disappointment, today I came to ruin the party.
When the elders spoke, there was naturally no reason for Evelyn not to respond, so she exchanged a low pleasantries.
Next, let’s get down to business.
Father–in–law raised his hand and made a gesture of the number eight, with a smiling face, and said, “If you want to marry Eileen, at least you have to reach this level.”
Evelyn’s face immediately changed when she heard the previous offer of 33,000 dollars
However, after learning about her job, she quickly opened her mouth wide like a lion.
Blood is thicker than water.
Evelyn’s mother readily agreed, and her younger brother nodded along beside her. Chapter 16
They didn’t contribute to this money at all.
Evelyn stood up and began the battle mode.
She sneered, and her laughter shattered the calm on the surface, causing both sides to immediately change their expressions.
Evelyn’s mother glared and scolded in a low voice, “Evelyn, what are you doing?”
Evelyn crossed her arms in front of her chest, assuming a nonchalant expression. Upon hearing the news, she deliberately raised her voice in astonishment and exclaimed, “Mom, so you’ve been saving this much money? You can just take dut 130,000 dollars like that?”
Evelyn’s mother, hindered by the presence of her in–laws, couldn’t erupt and had to conceal her anger with a smile, which looked extremely distorted.
She tugged at Evelyn’s clothes and lowered her head, wisispering, “It’s not much inoney, what’s wrong with helping your brother a little?”
Chapter 16
Chapter 17
Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh again. By the time she realized it, the laughter had already echoed in the room for a long time.
She made a gesture of refusal, with an Indifferent expression on her face, saying, “Mom, you’re so wealthy, why don’t you help me pay off my debts too?
Father–in–law on the side saw that something was wrong and couldn’t hold back, “Evelyn, you are a manager of a big company, at least earning 167,000 dollars a year, how could you be in debt?”
ta but of money at the casino, at least 1,670,000 dollars in Upon hearing this, Evelyn’s face immediately changed, and she exclaimed in agony, “I lost Interest alone. I thought we didn’t have any money at home, so I kept struggling in silence. Now the people from the casino are saying that I only have three days, otherwise.”
The remaining words stayed in his throat, letting them imagine the consequences themselves.
Evelyn’s mother couldn’t believe it and quietly distanced herself a little, cautiously asking, “Really? Do they know our home address?”
Evelyn nodded and said, “I kept a photocopy of the property deed at home.”
As soon as these words were spolen, Evelyn’s mother stood up in shock, her finger trembling as she pointed at Evelyn, angrily scolding, “You, bitch, not enly did you gamble yourself, but you also dragged us down with you.”
Evelyn pretended to be injured, covering her chest, and said in astonishment, “Mom, was it you who said that my brother wants to buy a house? I don’t have that much money, so I can only gamble. How about selling our house to repay the gambling debt first? I really don’t want to be handicapped.”
Speaking, Evelyn covered her face and started falo crying.
The opposite in–laws faces changed suddenly, and the girl even stood up and was about to leave.
The younger brother stood up to stop her, but she pushed him away, saying “Don’t hold me back. You should first clean up the mess in your own family.”
The father–in–law’s family couldn’t wait and ran away, just like being chased by a dog.
My younger brother had a resentful expression on his face and complained, “Mom, what should we do? Eileen has left.”
The scene immediately became extremely ugly.
On one side was a complaining son, on the other side was a pitifully crying daughter, along with a massive debt of 1,670,000 dollars.
Evelyn’s mother gasped for breath and fainted.
My younger brother hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do, but Evelyn remained calm and called an ambulance.
Hospita!
As soon as Evelyn’s mother opened her eyes, she saw Evelyn’s face magnified in front of her, causing her to immediately turn her head with a headache. Evelyn rang the bell and called the doctor. The doctor said there was nothing serious, just a slight concussion, and that resting would be enough. The siblings nodded.
After the doctor lett, an awkward atmosphere filled the ward.
Evelyn saw
that
no one was speaking and spoke up to ask for money again, “Mom, can you lend me that money in advance?”
Evelyn’s mother was instantly infuriated and covered her head, starting to cry out “Ouch“.
Seeing this, the younger brother immediately pushed Evelyn and rushed forward like a plague, “Sis, you go first.”
Evelyn was unwilling to leave and they pushed each other a few times before reluctantly walking away, pretending to be unwilling
As soon as she had just walled out of the ward, she heard angry shouting coming from inside the room.
Evelyn smilled happily and turned away.
And then the show began.
Evelyn returned to the company and saw Heed looking at the documents with a displeased expression on his face.
The light dimmed, and Evelyn couldn’t see his expression, only hearing the sound of gritted teeth, “Martin really is persistent”
Evelyn was puzzled, asking, “What’s going on?”
Read put down the documents, and he would quickly switch to a serious mode whenever he talked about work, Chicker 17
He coldly said, “The Easter Group’s project, he also wants to fight for
Evelyn was very puzzled, “Didn’t the previous news say that he wasn’t interested? Why is he suddenly wanting to compete?”
To be honest, the Wilson Group had a relatively difficult time competing as their development differed from the other company.
Rood’s face darkened slightly as he voiced his speculation, I think it was because of you.”
Chapter 18
“Me?” Evelyn’s face was full of disbelief.
Reed’s face was filled with certainty, a hint of hostility flashed through his narrow eyes. “My Intrition wouldn’t be wrong.
He was full of anxiety in his heart, as this was the rhythm of snatching people.
Evelyn firmly said, “Regardless of anything, I will face the difficulties and go visit him tomorrow, while also trying to find out what he’s up to.”
“I went too.”
