Weve known each other since we were kids .

You know Evelyns character she wouldnt lie .

Brian shot Brennen a cold glance and said , Ill ask you again , Evelyn .

Brennen seemed ready to argue further , but Evelyn gently pulled on his arm .

Looking at Brian , she said softly , Brian , I really dont know who broke into my house .

But … The only person I can think of is Ms.

Torrey .

Brian noticed the murmurs .

Brennan , remember your status , he sneered .

Brennan clenched his fist tightly .

Evelyn quickly pulled him back , her eyes brimming with tears .

Brennan , please , lets not make a scene .

Lets just go .

Brennan had never seen Evelyn look so vulnerable .

He had countless words of comfort on the tip of his tongue , but none of them felt right .

In the end , all he could do was escort Evelyn out of the hospital .

Brian watched them leave and didnt stop them .

Beside him Emily hesitated before saying , Mr.

Lodge , Ms.

Torrey is just worried about you … +25 BONUS Chapter 221 Have I been too lenient with her all these years ? Brian asked coldly .

Brian , Evelyn , and Brennan had grown up together .

Being the only girl in or .
