Chapter 740 She’s Lying
Without waiting for any refusal, Huston had already made a phone call to Benjamin to order from the best congee shop in the northern part of the city, “Last time, I bought two types of congee for Lucas, and he really liked them.”
At the mention of Lucas, Evelyn’s eyes softened a little, “He doesn’t have a good appetite. Be careful with his diet.”
“I know.” Since the incident with the food blockage, he had become much more cautious and had Sadie prepare specially tailored meals.
Grace looked at the two of them exchanging words and felt that it was a good atmosphere. She blinked her eyes and thought it was time for her to leave, “Should I go first? I have some work to do later.”
Huston was waiting for her to say, “Okay, just go. Thank you for your help. Goodbye.”
Did she have to be so efficient?
Grace twitched her lips a couple of times and returned the phone to Evelyn before remembering something about Bert. She slapped her forehead lightly, “Oh no! I forgot to mention, Mr. Harper called you in the morning. I told him that your phone was with me, and he asked me to let you know to contact him.”

then, I’ll leave. If
you need anything, just give me a call. I’m available anytime.”
Evelyn glanced at the slightly dimming sky outside the window. They had been brought to the hospital by ambulance, and Grace probably didn’t have her car with her. She couldn’t let her go back alone in
her current condition. Feeling hesitant, she looked at the man sitting beside her, wanting to say something but holding back.
She looked awkwardly at the man sitting next to her. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
“What’s wrong?”
She said with some embarrassment, “Can you find someone to send Grace back?”
For Huston, it was a small matter, perhaps the smallest, but he found himself somewhat stunned. This was the first time since Evelyn’s return to the country that she directly asked for his help.
He couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions. It would be so much better if she had difficulties or problems and could come to him directly for solutions, instead of going through someone else.
In reality, if she had tried, she would have known that he wouldn’t refuse her requests. He wasn’t someone without principles, but his principles seemed to be set very low when it came to Evelyn.
ny way.
Thinking that he might not be willing to help, Grace, who didn’t mind much, casually spoke up, “It’s alright, it’s not far from here. I can just take a taxi myself.”
“I’ll arrange for a driver to take you,” Huston suddenly spoke up, already taking care of the arrangements as he spoke.
Grace left, and even though the emergency room was spacious and filled with people, Evelyn felt as if it were just the two of them. She felt uneasy.
Unconsciously, she turned on her phone and went to the call log. It showed that Bert had called in the morning, around ten o’clock. At that time, she had just arrived at the hospital.
Now it was nearly five o’clock, and he must have been waiting for a long time.
With that in mind, Evelyn dialed his number. The phone rang a couple of times before he answered with an urgent tone, “Hello?”
“It’s me,” Evelyn tried to make her voice sound calm, “I just got my phone. You called me this morning, right?”
“Yeah.”
He then asked, “Where are you?”
Evelyn’s heart tightened when he asked, and she couldn’t tell him the truth. She was afraid that if he became too anxious, he would rush over immediately. She evaded the question, “I’m at
Grace’s place, just arrived.”
After speaking, she instinctively glanced an ambulance in Huston’s direction, and her eyes met his deep black gaze.
Her heart suddenly raced, and she didn’t dare linger, quickly looking away. “By the way, I’ll probably stay at her place tonight. Tomorrow, we can go out together.”
Bert didn’t say anything, but he had already sensed that she was lying. They had been together for five years, and if he couldn’t even detect that, he would be too foolish.
