Chapter 432 I Can Hold On
“Are you all right?” The beautiful face of a woman came into view, and perhaps due to her profession
as a doctor, her voice sounded gentle.
“I’m fine, thank you,” Evelyn replied, quickly concealing the glimmer of hope in her eyes and
straightening herself up.
Mabel saw the momentary disappointment in Evelyn’s eyes and understood what she was hoping for.
Women are all the same. Despite saying they want to escape and stay away from someone, they still
think of that person the first moment when something happens.
“You don’t look well. Have you been too tired from taking care
of your father recently?”
Evelyn shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Her heart was dead. How could she feel tired? The more tired
she was, the better. That way, she couldn’t think about those messy things.
The outbreak of Ben’s illness had become a thorn in her side.
The problems she had ignored in the past surfaced, making her understand that as long as Mia was by
Huston’s side, they

15.
What was even more terrifying was that Huston chose to
believe Mia.
Thinking of this, Evelyn sneered.
Mabel glanced at the ward and then looked at Evelyn in front of her. She remembered that she had
been envious of Huston’s romantic confession not long ago. She didn’t expect things to turn out like
this after some time. She didn’t have the authority to intervene as an outsider, but she expressed her
concern, “Let me administer some intravenous nutrition for you. I’m afraid your body won’t handle it
now.”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to trouble yourself. I can hold on.” Evelyn smiled at her, but it was a weak
smile. “I’m relieved that my father has finished the operation.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Mabel didn’t insist any further. After exchanging a few more words, she let
Evelyn return to the
ward.
Watching the heavy figure of Evelyn fading away, it seemed
like there was a burden on her delicate shoulders that she
couldn’t bear. It pained Mabel to see her like that as a woman,
and she wondered what Huston was thinking.
They loved each other deeply, yet they always separated for
various reasons. From an onlooker’s perspective, If agonizing for Mabel to witness it all unfold in her
heart.
Mabel shook her head helplessly. When she turned around and was about to leave, she almost
bumped into a “white
wall.”
She was startled and took a few steps back, almost hitting the ward door behind her. The man held her
in his arms and said in a low and gentle voice, “Be careful.”
This voice…
Mabel looked up. When she saw that handsome face, she was slightly stunned. Why was he here?
On second thought, she thought that Evelyn was Huston’s girlfriend, and now that her father was in the
hospital, it was natural for Kevin to be concerned. It wasn’t strange for him to
come and take a look after the surgery.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just a coincidence that the two of them would meet
here.
Since the conflict in North town villa last time, Mabel had
never been in contact with him from work to private life. At this time, when she felt his palm on her
back, she felt thirsty
for no reason.
When Kevin met Mabel’s bewildered gaze, he realized that his actions were too intimate. He discreetly
moved his hand away. Despite feeling a wave of emotions inside, he maintained
a calm expression on his face, trying not to appear too unusual. He composed himself for a moment
before he could say anything, but the woman in front of him was already preparing to walk away.
Kevin’s gentle countenance showed a hint of surprise. He furrowed his brow and forcefully grabbed her
wrist, pulling her back to where she was. There was a touch of displeasure in his tone as he asked,
“Did I tell you to leave?”
Mabel was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She used all her strength to pull her arms back,
but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of the man’s grip. His hands were like iron
chains, locking her tightly.
