Chapter 502 Brushing Past
Therefore, the moment Marty saw Marissa, the idea of asking her to take him upstairs to see Evelyn popped into his mind.
When Marty put forward this request to Marissa, she rejected it without hesitation.
No matter what Marty said or how he tried to threaten her, Marissa shook her head and said that it was impossible for her to stab Evelyn in the back.
In the end, Marty got so angry that he threatened Marissa with her family.
And it was just as what Evelyn had thought, if Marissa really dared to refuse Marty, he would really do such a thing.
But all of this did not matter anymore.
Marissa didn't intend to take credit from Evelyn with this kind of thing, and Evelyn didn't intend to ask more.
She just needed to know the outcome.
As for other things, it didn't matter anymore.
At the thought of that, Evelyn, who had been tense, finally relaxed.
As a results, Evelyn began to feel a little dizzy.
All she wanted was to sleep under the quilt day and night.
As soon as Marissa saw how exhausted Evelyn was, she knew it was time for her to rest.
"Right. How could a person, who is seriously ill, get peace of mind after suffering a huge blow and crying for so long?" Marissa thought.
So Marissa said in a hurry, "You rest first, I'll leave first."
After that, she helped Evelyn to lie down on the bed.
Evelyn didn't refuse either. She lay down on the bed with the help of Marissa.
After Marissa tucked her in, Evelyn looked at her gratefully and fell asleep.
For some reasons, Evelyn had a dream.
In her dream, she saw Marty.
In the dream, she was still a ten-year-old, and Marty, who was with her, still looked the same as before.
They were having so much fun and laughing together, lying on the lawn and watching the stars.
The sky ten-some years ago was so clear, so clear that the sky full of stars was visible at night.
Evelyn looked at this couple of childhood sweethearts with a smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
But gradually, the boy disappeared from the girl's side.
The girl had slowly grown up too.
People of all walks of life appeared by her side.
First, she met her bloodsucker adopted father, and then Jeffrey and finally, Marty appeared again.
And it was similar to the experience she had after she left the military compound.
But somehow, at some point, Evelyn suddenly felt that there was someone watching her from behind.
That person did not have a specific appearance, nor did he have a specific voice.
It was vague, and faintly discernible
But she knew that the man was always looking at her, as she was growing up.
For that, Evelyn was very surprised, but she didn't know what to say.
Because she was in a dream at this time. Even if she wanted to give it a think, she couldn't do it.
She had no control over her dream.
In her dream, although Marty always showed up, he always brushed past her inadvertently.
Evelyn could notice him and so could he.
But in her dream, Evelyn always had this kind of feeling—
Marty had truly been able to see her, but if she had not been in her dream, she would not have been able to see him.
This feeling was very strange, but Evelyn didn't realize anything.
After that, Marty suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He always talked to Evelyn in her dreams, and always found all kinds of reasons to meet her by chance.
Evelyn had some doubts about this, but she didn't know how to vent off her frustration.
Later, Marty and Jeffrey got into a brawl.
They were fighting fiercely, so much so that Evelyn could not help but feel terrified when she saw both of them were out of their minds.
"Stop fighting." She rushed to them and tried to stop them. "Stop fighting."
Evelyn desperately waved her hands, hoping that they could see her.
But she did not succeed.
They continued to fight. It was as if they had not noticed her. Besides, Evelyn was not able to touch them.
Evelyn was in a panic.
She began to feel afraid and confused.
Evelyn was still by their side, but she didn't know what to do and when she would wake up from her dream.
Yes, she realized that she was dreaming.
At this moment, Marty stopped.
At the same time, Jeffrey also disappeared.
Marty walked up to her and held her in his arms. He said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Evelyn burst into tears. "Marty, I'm so scared..."
Marty didn't say anything else. He just held her in his arms.
All of a sudden, Marty frowned, let go of her, and kneeled on the ground, clutching at his chest.
Panicked, Evelyn was at a loss of what to do. "Marty..."
Marty was getting paler. In the end, he actually began to vanish.
Evelyn burst into tears. "Marty, don't go. Please don't go!"
However, Marty still gradually disappeared.
"Marty!" Evelyn finally jolted awake.
But she found that Jeffrey was beside her, holding her hand in a panic. "Evelyn, I'm here, I'm here."
Evelyn was stunned.
Then she jumped into his arms and burst into tears.
After crying for a while, Evelyn finally came to her senses.
Her eyes no longer looked confused, but gradually became clear.
Finally, Evelyn looked at the man in front of her calmly. Pushing Jeffrey away, she wiped away her tears and said indifferently, "Oh, it's you."
Jeffrey felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He knew why Evelyn was so cold all of a sudden.
Their relationship was contractual from the start, wasn't it?
From the very beginning, she told him that she did not love him. She only needed his resources.
The two of them were just partners who were mutually beneficial to each other. They would only hurt themselves if they got closer to each other.
However, he still couldn't help but want to get close to her.
In fact, Jeffrey was really upset.
The pain in his heart grew apparent. It was so painful that it almost tore his heart apart.
But he could not show Evelyn any sign of his love for her.
He knew that if he really did so, Evelyn would definitely leave him without hesitation.
Jeffrey didn't want things to end up that way.
So he could only pretend to look at Evelyn calmly, as if he didn't care about her indifference and coldness at all.
"It's so you." Jeffrey shook his heads with a chuckle.
Evelyn looked at Jeffrey calmly. "You know, that's what we've agreed on from the beginning."
Jeffrey nodded and said, "But there is one thing."
Evelyn raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jeffrey coughed and pretended to be mysterious, "In fact, you can try to rely on me."
Evelyn was silent for a moment before she let out a chuckle. "If it's someone else, I'll think about it. But if it's you, forget it. It's better for us to keep a distance from each other, and not to get too attached to each other."
Jeffrey went silent for a moment.
He knew what Evelyn was thinking, and why she did so.
