Desires Die Hard

I Must Have Been Blind

There wasn't much left to deal with Paula's kidnap case. Cohen was temporarily not held responsible for the case. But Evan worried that he would harm Paula again, so he arranged several bodyguards to guard the ward.

He wouldn't withdraw the guards until the Selolia police came and inspected Cohen.

Anya had been worshiping Paula. She bought some flowers and visited the badly injured Paula after leaving the police office.

In the ward, Paula looked pale and haggard, her eyes closed. If one didn't walk close and see the mist formed by her faint breath on the breathing machine...

They would think that she was dead.

Anya walked quietly over with the flowers and put them carefully into the vases on the locker.

"Honey, did the doctor say when Ms. Tucker will wake up?" Anya finished decorating the vases and turned around to ask Evan.

Evan slightly sighed, "It's not sure. She is in a coma for a long time, so weak after seemingly missing food for several days. She may have failed to make it if she hadn't been this healthy."

It turned out that Cohen didn't feed her any food during the imprisonment.

Cohen had no mercy.

Anya became serious. She said furiously, "What a cruel person! She taught him a lot!Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Didn't he have the slightest bit of gratitude for people who help him?"

Evan cuffed her lightly trying to calm her down. "Don't get mad because of him. He isn't worth it."

"Honey, I must have been blind back then. I caused all the trouble," Anya said with sadness and self-accusation. Poor pale and feeble Paula.

Anya condemned herself.

If it hadn't been for her ambitions, tragedies wouldn't have happened.

"Don't blame yourself. It's not you at fault. You were just unlucky that you met the scumbag who took advantage of you," Evan comforted her.

"The biggest relief now is that Paula is out of danger."

Anya muttered yes. If Paula was in danger, Anya wouldn't forgive herself.

She said after a pause, "Darling, does Paula have a family? I don't see anyone visit her."

Evan shook his head. "She doesn't. She devotes her life to art and lives in isolation."

"I think I should take care of her these days." Anya tried to make up for it by doing some things for Paula.

"You don't have to exhaust yourself. I will arrange nursing workers here." Evan worried that Anya would be too tired as she also had to work and look after Sherry.

Anya shook her head and insisted. "I want to. It's a conscientious help."

Speaking of conscientiousness, Evan thought that he should make up for Paula, too. But he was too busy with the company business.

He gave in. "OK then. But don't wear yourself out."

"Sure." Anya cared about her health.

She would rest when she felt tired.

Back in Cohen's apartment. He looked at the messy living room, anger and self-taunt crowded him.

Why would he be that stupid to be tricked by Evan and Anya?

He would get even with them.
