Chapter 107: Death Anniversary
Evelyn’s face flushed red at Avery’s words and when her eyes met with Zevian, it was hard to hide her embarrassment. Even the hospital staff looked in her direction, increasing the urge to dig a hole and bury herself.
"So, will you reconsider it?" Avery asked again with a smile. She leaned over the door frame and looked at her friend, making it obvious that she was all set to tease her. When the staff looked troubled, exchanging glances, she added, "They have been through a lot. Don’t you think they deserve to stay together?"
The doctor shook his head adamantly much to Avery’s displeasure. With a serious face, he replied, "Their bodies are still recovering and can’t handle any activities. It’s too dangerous, sorry."
And Evelyn felt like just dissipating in the air at his words. Her face was so red that even Damien stifled his laugh, turning away to control himself as the doctor’s words kept playing in his head. Lucius too smiled and cleared his throat, stepping forward to stop the doctor who continued to explain all the fatal consequences.
"But-" Before Avery could dig a grave for her further, Evelyn pulled her inside the room and shut the door.
"What was that?" Evelyn grumbled, peeking through the glass frame on the door to make sure they were emptying the hallway.
"I was just trying to help you, Evy." Avery murmured with a pout and when her best friend glared at her, she continued, "Don’t be so mad."
"I don’t need your help. So, shut up!" Evelyn retorted, walking back to her bed. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed out loud, the earlier incident replaying in her mind like a broken record.
"Duh, you are no fun." Avery didn’t stop and continued walking toward her, "I was just being kind enough to..." she paused and gasped out loud. "Don’t tell me, you already did it? Is that why you are so angry? Did he not meet your standards?"
Evelyn groaned out loud, her cheeks flushing again at her questions. "Stop it, Avy!" she grumbled, sitting on the bed. When Avery opened her mouth again, Evelyn forcefully closed it and ended the discussion, "We did not do it yet, okay? End it here!"
Avery smiled sheepishly and removed Evelyn’s hand covering her mouth. "I knew it. Though your reunion had been quite fast-paced, I know you like slow-burn romance more." She started again which made Evelyn sigh out loud and give up.
