Chapter 588 Someone Was In the House
Therefore, he didn't think much about it.
Them, Evelyn looked at the time.
"It's getting late. I want to go back to get some rest now."
At that moment, Marty was reluctant to part. After all, they had just decided to be together.
However, he also knew that it was better not to act too hastily in the beginning. Otherwise, it would be easy to make a mistake and end up in a lose-lose situation.
Hence, he nodded as he took her hand, and said, "I'll send you upstairs."
This time, Evelyn didn't refuse.
Then, he sent her all the way to the door and watched her entered the house. He kissed her on the lips again as he was reluctant to let go, as he waved goodbye to her.
With a smile, Evelyn watched him leave. At that moment, they were really acting like two intimate lovers.
She continued to watch him until the elevator arrived. As he entered the elevator, the door closed, and went down.
Only then did the smile on her face fade away.
After closing the door, she covered her face helplessly and slid down on the wooden floor.
The only light in the room was on the wall of the porch. As the dim yellow light shone on her, it made her look like a loner on a deserted island in the middle of the night.
Sitting on the carpet and holding her legs, she buried her face in her knees. She felt as if she had exhausted every bit of her strength, and she didn't even want to move.
In a word, she felt exhausted physically and mentally.
Now, she knew that Marty really loved her and what he said tonight was his heartfelt words.
However, it was also because of this that she was really afraid.
She was afraid that she was not as good as how he had said it.
She was afraid that one day, she would let him down.
With the thought in mind, Evelyn sighed. After a while, she wanted to stand up.
Suddenly, at this moment, she heard a long, and slow breathing sound coming from the room.
Froze, she was frightened.
To be exact, it was not the sound of breathing, but the snoring of a man after falling asleep.
Someone was in the house?
With this realization, Evelyn's face turned pale with fear.
After hesitating for a while, she managed to control herself and did not call Marty, who had just left.
Instead, she tip-toed to the kitchen to pick up a kitchen knife and walked toward the bedroom with light steps.
In truth, she had no idea who was the person making this noise in the bedroom at this time.
But it was so late at night, so she knew that any man who suddenly appeared in her house was definitely not a good person.
Could he be a crazy fan of hers?
Or...
Afraid to turn on the light, she didn't want to wake up the man. Then, she took out her phone and dialed the emergency number, placing a finger above the call button, so the moment something happened, she would be able to call the police immediately.
The light on the screen of the mobile phone was able to light up a small area surrounding her path as she slowly walked toward the bedroom.
Then, she realized the bedroom door was not closed tight as the man inside didn't lock it.
Lifting her hand and gently pushing the door open, she saw that in the dim light, there seemed to be a person lying on the bed.
The man had his back to her, lying on his side with the blanker over his body.
Because it was too dark, and with only the moonlight that shone from the window, as well as the faint light from the screen of her mobile phone, she could not see who was the person at all, but judging from his figure, he should be a middle-aged man who was relatively thin.
The middle-aged man was sleeping very soundly, as if he was not afraid or worried at all even though he was in someone else's house, snoring from time to time.
With the kitchen knife in her hand, she paused for a moment, then she silently took the knife in another hand and picked up a rod that she usually used to hang her clothes.
After getting everything ready, she went to the bedside and hit the man in the face.
All of a sudden, screams and howls were heard in the bedroom.
At that moment, Evelyn didn't dare to speak, for fear of being recognized because of her special identity, so she could only fight for her life, only hoping to chase the man out of the house.
As expected, the man, who was beaten heavily in his sleep, sprung up subconsciously and ran to the door.
Seeing that, she continued to chase after him along the way.
During the chase, someone had accidentally switched on the lights while they were running.
The light in the living room was turned on suddenly.
Subsequently, she saw a familiar figure.
Immediately, Evelyn was shocked.
"Forbos?"
Putting down the rod in her hand, she asked in surprise and anger, "Why are you here?"
When Forbos came to his senses, he, who was ready to escape with both hands shielding his head, became furious immediately after seeing Evelyn.
As soon as he put down his hands, he pointed at her and started scolding her angrily. "You damn girl, how dare you hit me? Do you still remember that I am your father?"
He was not afraid of her at all and even felt that he had total control over her.
The reason why he wanted to run just now was only that he was in a daze, and he was beaten by someone for no reason, so his subconscious reaction was to avoid it.
However, when he came to his senses, he felt angry and shameful. Over the years, he had always been the one who was fierce and powerful in front of Evelyn and her mother. Since when did he was beaten by them?
Immediately, Evelyn's face turned cold, and she asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to..."
Before Forbos could finish his sentence, his gaze landed on the kitchen knife in her other hand. His expression changed suddenly as he changed his tone.
"Why don't you put that down first, and then I'll tell you?"
After finding out that he was the one in the room, naturally, she wouldn't need the weapon anymore, so she put down the knife.
Then, she sat on the sofa, crossing her legs and said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say!"
Relieved, Forbos walked over and sat down on the other end of the sofa.
Looking at her, he kept quiet for a few seconds. Suddenly, he said, "I heard that your mother's heart replacement has been found?"
Confused, Evelyn looked at him in disbelief.
"How did you know?"
After Clarissa called her, she knew that there was hope. Later, she went to see her mother and only mentioned a few words.
It was also to make her mother feel at ease and not worry about her illness.
But she knew her mother's personality. First of all, Forbos probably didn't know that she was currently staying at St. Peter Hospital. Even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily be able to enter.
Secondly, her mother knew what kind of person he was, so she definitely would not tell him so much.
Therefore, she was very surprised when these words came out of Forbos's mouth.
With a sneer, Forbos said, "It doesn't matter how I know. She's my wife anyway. Since they found the right heart for her, I guess she'll have an operation soon? As a husband, I should be there by her bedside and take care of her. Am I right?"
Hearing that, Evelyn frowned deeply.
She knew Forbos too well. He was the kind of person who would not give up until he got what he wanted.
To take care of her mother by the hospital bed?
It was completely a joke.
Although she didn't know what he had in mind.
