Never Late, Never Away Chapter 420
Some people were just like that. They were willing to do anything if they were paid — even whenthey had to betray their conscience. “Also, I'll be coming to the hospital frequently in the next fewdays. Remember to act like you don’t know me. You won't be getting even a single cent if you blowthis up.”
“I understand. Don't worry about it, Ms. Morrison,” the doctor promised with a firm nod.
"Alright. You can leave now.” Evelyn waved her hand at him impatiently.
“Then I'll be heading to work now.” The doctor had a smile on his face as he turned, but it instantlyvanished the moment his back was facing her.
Hmph. What a b***h. If it wasn't for the money, do you think I'd grovel like that? You could beanything since you're so pretty, yet you insist on being someone else's mistress.
She probably planned this all out so that the man from earlier would misunderstand his wife. Sheobviously wants to separate them.
But this has nothing to do with me. Everything's fine as long as I get the money. Medical ethics?Hah! What is that? Can it allow me to live a great life? The money Ms. Morrison gave me is nearlymy salary of a year and a half. How could I not do it?
In the meantime, Evelyn was still standing there with a triumphant smile on her face.
So what if someone saved you? As long as Finnick believes that you were raped, I've achieved what Iwanted to.
There isn't a man who wouldn't mind something like this. Now that I've planted this thorn in hisheart, he's going to leave you sooner or later.
"Are you satisfied?” Just as Evelyn rejoiced in her heart, she suddenly heard Benedict's voice frombehind her.
“Ben,” she said as she turned around anxiously. “When did you arrive?” Ben couldn't have heard myconversation with the doctor, right?
"When you made the call earlier.” His voice was filled with disappointment and anger as hecontinued, “How can you bribe a doctor to lie to Finnick? Do you know how much of an impact it'llbe on their relationship?”
Of course, she knew; it was her point of doing this, after all.
"How can you only think of Vivian, Ben? I'm your sister. Can't you think on my behalf too?” Evelyncouldn't accept that her brother was favoring Vivian. “If you didn't save her, do you think Id have toresort to bribing the doctor?”
“Evelyn!” Benedict became furious at her words. “How can you not feel any guilt after doingsomething like this? It was fortunate that I managed to save Vivian. Do you know it's illegal toinstigate someone to commit a crime? You'll end up in jail!”
"Who would've known if you don’t say anything?” The woman was nonchalant even after hearingwhat he said. “This isn't my fault. I just want Finnick to come back to me.”
“But he's in love with someone else now!” Benedict couldn’t understand why his sister was soobsessed with Finnick. “He has a wife, Evelyn.”
“That's why I want them to get divorced. As long as they're divorced, Finnick will definitely comeback to me,” she said matter-of-factly.
"What the... Are you still the Evelyn that I know?” The sight of his sister upset him. “My sisterwouldn't be so unscrupulous to get something she wants. How did you end up like this, Evelyn?”"Of course, I'm still your sister, Ben. How can you say that?” She felt awkward upon hearing that asshe didn't expect him to tell her off so straightforwardly. In an instant, she flew into a rage out ofhumiliation.
“I just want to get back what belongs to me. Finnick is mine, and Vivian was the one who snatchedhim away from me. Why are you only blaming me? Besides, I didn’t really do anything to her. Youmanaged to save her too. She wasn't actually raped, and I just wanted Finnick to misunderstandher."
Benedict didn’t know how to answer her when he saw how unreasonable she was being.
Seeing that he wasn't saying anything, Evelyn asked, feeling a little scared, “You won't sell me out,right?”
His mind was a mess as he didn’t know what he should do. One of them was his only family, whilethe other was a friend he liked very much. It felt like no matter what he chose, it would be a wrongdecision.
