Chapter 513 She was Pregnant
The more Evelyn said this, the sadder she felt. She was not sure if she would be fine now. She only
knew that things had begun to develop in the direction she did not want, and the test papers in her
pocket would become the key to everything.
“Evelyn, are you really okay? If there’s anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to tell me.” Grace held
her cold hand. As a good friend, she could sense that something was off with Evelyn.
After some thought, Evelyn came up with something she wanted to ask for Grace’s help with. “Grace,
we’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve always tried not to bother others, but today I really need
to ask for your help…”
Without waiting for her to finish, Grace waved her hand and said, “No need for formalities between us.
Just tell me straight.”
With a serious expression, Evelyn took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Her tone was a little heavy
as she said, “I need you to take care of my parents for me. They’re getting older, and my father… he

ask the police station to deliver a message to them. If you have time, please visit them more often and

Grace listened attentively. At first, she didn’t think much of it, but as she continued listening, she felt
something was amiss.
After careful consideration, a chill ran down her spine, and she furrowed her brows. “Evelyn, what do
you mean by saying these things? Why do I feel like you’re not coming back…?”
Evelyn’s hands, placed under the table, suddenly clenched tightly, but her face remained calm. She
even forced a smile and said, “Why would you think that? You’re overthinking it. It’s probably because I
haven’t contacted my family for a long time and feel guilty about it.”
Her tone was not tense as she spoke, and Grace took a few more glances at her. Although she didn’t
fully believe her in her heart, she stopped doubting because she knew Huston was helping her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of them. I’m like their second daughter, and whenever I have time, I’ll go and
comfort them.”
She was extremely grateful. “Thank you so much, Grace.”
They talked for a while longer. It was getting late, and there were restrictions on visitation. It wasn’t
appropriate for her to be there in the first place, and even if they made an exception, she shouldn’t stay
for too long.
Before leaving, Grace looked back repeatedly, wanting to take another look at Evelyn. Evelyn was
afraid she couldn’t hold back her tears, so she forced herself not to turn around until she didn’t hear a
single sound from behind and until the door behind her closed again.
She knew someone was watching her on the surveillance
cameras, so she pretended to read a book as usual. After about ten minutes or so, she got up and
walked towards the restroom inside the house.
Only the restroom was devoid of surveillance cameras in the room, as it was considered a private
space.
Evelyn walked steadily, but when she turned around and closed the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her back was against the wall in the narrow space, and her palms were covered with a layer of cold
sweat.
Her slender fingers trembled as she took the pregnancy test paper from her pocket. She took off her
pants and sat on the toilet bowl, feeling as if there were thousands of ants crawling in her heart. They
bit her flesh little by little. Itchy and sore, they gradually flowed to her limbs and bones through her

Feeling worried, afraid, anxious, and uneasy.
No negative emotions could adequately describe her current state of mind. Waiting was long and
excruciating. In just a few minutes, she felt as though she had lived through half a century.
She counted the time in her mind. She took the test paper, but her eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the
restroom.
She didn’t dare look at it, and her hand holding the test paper trembled like a sieve.
She repeated deep breaths countless times, sweat pouring from her forehead and palms. Her hands
and feet felt ice-cold, yet her
body was slightly feverish. The alternating sensations of cold and heat tormented her, bringing a sense
of anguish.
She had to face it sooner or later.
Evelyn gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Then she brought the test paper up to her eyes and
looked at the result displayed on it. Suddenly, her mind went blank…
Sweat broke out on her back at a fast speed. She even began to breathe rapidly, feeling a little short of
oxygen.
In this crucial moment, in this difficult situation, she was pregnant.
