Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 285

Emma followed Nathan into his office.

Only after their figures had completely disappeared behind the door did Evan retract his gaze and turn to walk in the opposite direction.

Jason lowered his head and trotted to keep up with him.

“Mr. Cooper, Mr. Carter’s room is 1507. He was transferred from the ICU to a regular room last night.”

It was only after receiving a call from the hospital about overdue payments this morning that Jason learned Thomas had been moved to the intensive care unit a week ago due to a sudden decline in his condition.

He informed his boss the moment he received the news.

It had been nearly a week since Melissa had left Kingsbridge Park that morning.

Evan hadn't tried to contact her during that time. It seemed their relationship had come to a silent, unacknowledged standstill.

In the period right after his divorce from Emma and the loss of their child, Evan had genuinely developed feelings for Melissa.

After two years of arguing with Emma, he had long forgotten what the warmth of a home felt like, and Melissa’s appearance had conveniently filled that void.

She was obedient, sensible, and quiet. She was at his beck and call, never bothering him.

She would appear whenever he needed her, and when he didn’t, she would wait quietly for him.

This feeling of being in complete control was why Evan had grown fond of Melissa. But somewhere along the line, the once-obedient girl had started to change. She became willful, demanding, and would even throw tantrums and get angry with him.

Upon hearing Jason's report, Evan immediately dialed Melissa’s number without hesitation.
