Chapter 544 Threatened By Others
As Evelyn had been busy with the filming previously, she didn't have much time to talk to her mother during her visits.
Now that she finally had the time, she must have a good chat with her mother. Besides, her mother had lost a lot of weight, suffering from the illness.
This made Evelyn's heart ache.
In the hospital.
"Why are you so early today?"
Usually, Evelyn would come to see her mother late at night. But today, she was surprised to see Evelyn here at dusk.
"The series I've been involved in wrapped up today, so I came to chat with you earlier today. I'm afraid you'll be bored to death during this period."
Said Evelyn with a smile.
Seeing that Evelyn was in the mood to chat with her today, her mother also secretly decided to have a good chat with her tonight.
"You've been coming here every night during this period. It's rare for you to get off work early today. Why don't you go back and rest? I'll always be here in the hospital anyway. I'm worried that it will wear you out to come here every day."
Evelyn had been busy all the time. She finally had the time to be with her mother.
"I'm fine."
For Evelyn, it was nothing compared to her mother who had been suffering from illness 24/7.
After all, the least Evelyn could do was to take good care of her.
"Listen to me. You don't have any spare time for yourself at all—you either go to work or come to me."
Her mother held on to Evelyn's hand.
"Well, who else can I spend my time with? You've been in poor health recently. What I can do is just to come and see you."
"Of course, I'm glad that you're filial to me, but you are not young anymore. You should get yourself a boyfriend now. Because I don't know how long I could keep you company. Bring him to see me if you have one."
Evelyn's mother did not know how much time was left for her. Therefore, she was very afraid that no one would take care of Evelyn after she kicked the bucket. Hence, she hoped that Evelyn could find a decent boyfriend to take care of her before that happened.
"Oh, my gosh. Mom, I can't just rush into a relationship."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Evelyn wanted to avoid the topic.
Moreover, she didn't know why Marty was the first person who came to her mind.
She obviously had already given up on him after what happened last time. Why did she still think of him when they talked about boyfriends?
"Could it be that I have fallen in love with him?"
"That's impossible." Evelyn thought to herself.
Although she had been thinking about Marty, Evelyn had brainwashed herself not to think about him. He was nothing but a playboy.
"Well, stop daydreaming. It's getting late. Go back and have a good rest for the next two days."
Seeing that the sky was getting darker outside the window, her mother urged Evelyn to go home immediately.
That was because, at the moment, Evelyn did not feel too well.
"Okay, I'm not working tomorrow. I'll come and see you then."
Her mother who was lying on the bed indeed seemed to be a little sleepy.
Therefore, Evelyn didn't want to bother her anymore. She picked up her bag and was ready to go home.
At the bus stop.
At this time, Evelyn was waiting for the bus to go home.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Her mobile phone began to vibrate in the bag.
"Hello?"
It was an unknown number. Evelyn was very curious about who would call her at this hour.
"Quickly transfer a sum of money to me right now."
The voice of the man on the other end of the line was distasteful.
Evelyn didn't feel uncomfortable listening to his voice as she furrowed her brows.
"I've told you so many times. Don't contact me anymore. If you keep calling, I'll never pick up your call again."
The person on the phone was Evelyn's adoptive father.
Evelyn's mother was a good samaritan.
But her adoptive father was a gambler and alcoholic.
Since Evelyn was young, he would abuse Evelyn and her mother every time he was in a bad mood. He had never paid any respect to them.
In her adoptive father's eyes, Evelyn was nothing but a burden and waste of money. He had never paid any attention to her.
Having such a childhood left an unforgettable memory for Evelyn.
Besides, her adoptive father had been asking her for money all these years. He could never be satisfied.
On the other hand, she also needed to raise money for her mother's medical treatment. Hence, she was already tight on money. Why would she have any money left for him?
Most importantly, they were never close.
"Hurry up and give me money, otherwise these people will kill me. Or do you have the heart to let me die just like that? After all, I have raised you for more than 20 years, yet you are just going to do this to me?"
The voice of the man on the other end of the phone was getting louder. In the end, he roared.
Evelyn hated how he was like.
He always felt he was entitled.
"Didn't I make it very clear before? I will never interfere in your affairs from now on. I won't clear up the mess that you've made anymore. Do you understand?"
In fact, ever since Evelyn had become a celebrity, her adopted father had been asking her for money, again and again.
Even though she had not had any feelings for her adoptive father ever since she was young.
But she was soft-hearted after all.
She always believed that no matter how bad this man was, he was her adoptive father. If she gave him enough money, he would turn over a new left.
But sadly he disappointed Evelyn again and again, each time after she tided him over.
Every time he took the money, he would go gambling and whoring.
When he ran out of money, he would call Evelyn to ask for more money.
For a long time, Evelyn was left penniless after she was paid a salary because her bloodsucker adopted father would take it all away.
Facing this man, she didn't feel like helping him at all.
Especially in the past two years, when her income increased after she became popular again, her adopted father asked for even more money.
