Even after hearing the nurse’s words, uneasiness and panic still surged in my chest.
A deep fear wrapped around me tightly.
As I waited outside the emergency room, I nervously called Ezra’s number.
“Vera and I were in a car accident.”
The person on the other side heard and quickly responded.
“Which hospital? I will come right away.”
After giving him the hospital’s address, a long time passed, yet he still did not appear.
I called his phone again. This time, his voice sounded very irritated.
“Evie, just to make me return, you would even say something like this about your daughter? Have you no shame?”
Facing his sudden blame, I spoke with anger rising inside me.
“I am not lying, she is being rescued!”
The person on the other end stayed silent for a few seconds, then the call ended without a word.
Right after that, Heidi sent me a message with a very revealing video.
In the video, the man was shirtless, speaking to her in a drawn-out tone.
“I love you… Shall we stay together forever?”
The video had the man’s heavy breathing and the woman’s sweet, teasing voice.
“Evie, did you see it? Take your daughter and go die together. Even if you die, he won’t look at you!”
