Evelyn’s heart sank. He’d saved her; she should see him.

The landslide had been sudden; the child’s grandparents had forgotten his toys, and he’d panicked, running away, nearly endangering two lives. His grandparents had punished him.
The teacher told her the principal had reinforced safety education, making the child read a public apology.
Evelyn simply returned the recovered toys, telling the boy not to do that again, before letting the teacher take him away.
The matter was resolved, except for Sebastian’s unconsciousness.
Looking at his sleeping form, Evelyn felt a mix of emotions.
The teacher had mentioned encountering Sebastian while returning to school; he’d heard about the search and chased after them, getting lost before finding them.
He’d been soaked, injured from falls, but focused solely on finding her.
The teacher had commented on their relationship, noting Sebastian’s love for her.
Evelyn chuckled wryly.
Undeniably, Sebastian loved her, before and during the landslide.
But that didn’t excuse sleeping with another woman, having children, getting married, and deceiving her with empty promises, wasting years of her life. Seeing him with Charlotte, she’d wondered if she was the mistress.
Evelyn couldn’t wait any longer, and left.
She even felt she’d left too late.

But now, Sebastian was here.
He said he was wrong, regretted it.

He said he’d dealt with Charlotte and the children.
He wanted her back.
But Sebastian hadn’t considered that Charlotte’s daughter was still alive.
They would meet; what if he softened again?
Seeing their daughter would remind her of the past; it was like money found in the trash; picking it up or leaving it was equally repulsive.
She wouldn’t pick it up, no matter how much money it was, no matter how badly he was hurt. She wouldn’t go back.
On the third day of Sebastian’s coma, Eleanor rushed to the village.
