Chapter 220: Final Goodbye
[Wright Mansion]
It had been almost five days, but Elias hadn’t woken up. The doctors were trying their best—sometimes he would react or show responses, but he hadn’t regained full consciousness, raising concerns for everyone involved.
Evelyn sighed as she absentmindedly moved her spoon into the bowl of salad. Luckily, her morning sickness hadn’t worsened, but she had no interest in eating anything.
Rosalind walked toward her, carrying a glass of fresh apple juice. She shook her head, seeing Evelyn lost in a daze again. Though Evelyn was acting fine on the outside, she was breaking inside a little more every day, and it was breaking Rosalind’s heart.
"Did Avery leave already?" Rosalind asked, sitting beside her.
Evelyn came out of her thoughts and nodded in response. "Today is AWE’s monthly board meeting. She left with Ian earlier."
Rosalind nodded with a smile. Everyone had to move on and focus on their jobs. William’s health had deteriorated further, so Gracia took charge of Wright Corporation, while Zevian was needed at the Reigns. Damien had to return to Arecamia since his mission wasn’t complete yet, and Avery was busy handling AWE alone.
Rosalind moved closer and held onto Evelyn’s hand. "I know this is tough, but you need to take care of yourself, honey," Caressing her hand, she added, "Elias would be sad to see you like this when he wakes up."
"I am trying, but..." Evelyn sighed out loud. She was trying to be positive, hoping for everything to be alright. But every minute that passed, she couldn’t stop worrying about the worst. She couldn’t lose Elias, not after they were finally free from Sophia and her schemes.
"Oh honey," Rosalind’s heart ached for her daughter-in-law. She moved closer and pulled her into a hug.
Evelyn closed her eyes and tried to fight back those tears. She stayed in Rosalind’s embrace for a while, her warmth comforting and providing a reprieve for a moment.
