NovelStartChapter 175 Evelyn met Lucas' gaze. His deep eyes were so indifferent as he waited for her to give him an answer.
In truth, Evelyn wasn't surprised by Lucas' attitude. Her actions today had clearly crossed a line with him.
They signed the divorce agreement two months ago, and now, she finally received a concrete date to go through with the process. But it was clear that he wanted to sever ties with her as decisively as possible for Tiffany's sake. He no longer wanted to drag things out or waste anyone's time.
"Sure, that's fine." Evelyn nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey should have done this a long tago. Everything would be settled once they went to the courthouse and finalized their divorce.
Today was Saturday, and the courthouse was closed, so if it weren't for that, Lucas would have likely taken her there immediately to resolve the matter.
Lucas watched her calm expression and seemed to give a small, dismissive smile. "Alright. Don't be late." He paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the liver transplant surgery slot..." "The slot is mine, and you have the power to find a way around it." That was Evelyn's concern. Lucas had agreed to go to the courthouse, but she wasn't sure he would still show her any favor regarding the slot.
Thinking about it, Evelyn's eyes unconsciously reddened, but she kept her gaze fixed on him. She was being stubborn.
Lucas looked at her. After a long silence, he finally said slowly, "Fine, the slot will be given to you. You don't have to worry about that anymore." That left Evelyn stunned. She was truly surprised. She had clearly slapped Tiffany right in front of him, so why was Lucas still willing to return the slot to her? Tiffany's attitude was clear, and there was no way she would agree to this.
But Lucas didn't offer any explanation. Without another word, he turned and walked away, his pace deliberate and unhurried.
Evelyn stared at his retreating figure, letting out a long sigh of relief. She still couldn't fathom his attitude, but now that the divorce date was set, she no longer cared about anything else. Nothing else mattered.
She took another deep breath and smiled bitterly. At least the divorce date was now firmly set, and she could thank Tiffany for it.
Lucas was so concerned about Tiffany that this slap had forced him to end Evelyn's identity as "Mrs. Grant" once and for all.
After she had tto reflect, the hospital notified her that Leonard's liver transport surgery slot was restored, and the surgery could be scheduled after the end of the month.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was indeed surprised. Lucas had actually followed through.
Evelyn truly couldn't wrap her mind around it. How did he convince Tiffany? Based on Tiffany's attitude earlier, it was obvious she wouldn't agree to this. Or perhaps Lucas had offered Tiffany sform of compensation?
Evelyn shook her head and decided not to dwell on it. She hadn't told m Deborah or anyone else about the slot issue as she didn't want them to worry. As long as it was resolved, that was all that mattered. As for the slap she gave Tiffany, there wasn't any fallout after that. It seemed that Tiffany hadn't reported it to the police.
But Evelyn hadn't really been worried about that issue either. If things escalated, Tiffany wouldn'necessarily be in the right. Especially since her identity was sensitive, if the police were involved, everything would cto light. There was no such thing as a secret that couldn't be uncovered. If word of their love triangle got out, it would cause significant damage to Tiffany.
Evelyn figured that Lucas was in a hurry to finalize the divorce, partly out of anger that she had slapped Tiffany and partly to prevent anything from spiraling out of control that could negatively affect Tiffany. Evelyn didn't care about his intentions. There was still one issue she needed to resolve.
She looked at her phone. The message she sent to Lucas the night before, asking about the emerald ring, had still gone unanswered.
