Chapter 574

Chapter 574

Now, the choice before Summer was unbearably difficult.

Once, her future had been smooth and certain. Now, it was nothing but fog. She could not see anything ahead.

She did not know what was waiting for her.

She did not know what Frank would do to her if the child died p>

And if the child lived…

No.

According to Stella, the child could not survive at all without Jane Gass.

Without Jane Gass, there was no saving him.

Stella would only save the child if he was Steven’s son.

But he was not.

Under Evan’s relentless questioning, Summer looked at him with tears in her eyes.

“If I die, will everything be over p>

Evan fell silent.

“If I die, then we won’t have to do the paternity test anymore, right p>

At that moment, Summer truly wished she could simply disappear from all of this.

Everything Stella was doing now was aimed at her. So what if she was gone?

If she was gone, would the child still need a paternity test?

Living like this had become too hard for her.

“I never thought that after your brother died, even living with a little dignity would become impossible for me p>

Evan said, “This has nothing to do with my brother being alive or dead. Your life is hard now, but that isn’t because of my brother p>

Summer stared at him in disbelief.

This was the first time Evan had directly pushed back against something she said.

Her expression froze.

She looked at him, struggling to breathe.

“So you think I did something to hurt her before, and that’s why everything turned out this way p>

It was another retreat meant to advance.

Summer still wanted Evan to keep trusting her.

But this time, Evan did not react the way she expected.

He slid both hands into his coat pockets and glanced into the distance.

“We all wronged her p>

Summer froze.

What was he saying?

They had all wronged Stella?

Did he not distrust Stella? Then why was he saying something like this now?

All at once, Summer could not say a word.

Everything she had been about to say lodged in her throat, and not a single word came out.

What did Evan mean by this?

Did that mean he had believed Stella all along?

Then why had he reacted that way before? Why had he behaved like that in front of Stella?

Evan said, “Think it through. The test is tied to the child’s life. You’re his mother. You decide p>

Before this, whenever it came to the child, Summer had always dragged Evan into it.

Because Evan had always treated her with care, she believed that after her husband died, Evan should look after

her.

So whether it was her own affairs or the child’s, Evan had always been someone who could make decisions for her.

But now…

He said, You’re his mother. You decide.

What was that supposed to mean?

Was he putting all responsibility for the child back on her?

“I decide p>

Summer felt more and more suffocated.

Evan said, “Once you’ve made up your mind, go tell her p>

“I p>

Go tell Stella?

What did he mean?

Did he really believe what Stella had said?

Summer wanted to say that Stella might just be talking.

But Evan had already turned and walked away.

Summer stood frozen in place.

He actually wanted her to tell Stella herself.

Did he really believe Stella?

After Stella had turned the entire Wright family upside down, he still believed she would keep her word?

Summer trembled from head to toe.

From the cold.

And from rage.

Then, with a splash, a basin of cold water was dumped over her.
