Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 219

“What happened? You seem completely out of it.”

A moment ago, Glenn had only seen her from behind. Now, facing her, he realized just how hard she’d fallen.

Blood was seeping from a scrape on her chin.

Her palms and knees were scraped raw as well.

Yet she hadn’t uttered a word of pain—not then, and not now. She looked as if nothing had happened.

“I’m fine,” Evangeline said, though her voice trembled.

For some reason, as soon as she saw Glenn, all the worry, fear, and panic she’d been holding onto suddenly became real—heavy enough to overwhelm her.

Her nose stung, and before she could stop herself, tears began streaming down her cheeks.

Feeling the warm wetness on her face, she tried to casually wipe it away.

Glenn reached into his pocket and handed her a tissue.

She took it, but the tears came harder, as if a dam had broken, and her whole body started to shake.

Glenn said nothing, quietly waiting for her to calm down.

It was obvious something was wrong.

Was it because of the Fawkes family?

No, that didn’t add up.

He’d just parted ways with Flora, and she’d promised not to cause any more trouble for Evangeline.

Clyde and Helena were upset about the shares, but the decision had come from the matriarch herself. As elders, they wouldn’t risk their reputations by confronting Evangeline directly.

Was it because of Soren?

That seemed unlikely too.

Glenn didn’t know Soren well, but he knew enough; if Soren had a problem with the inheritance, he wouldn’t have waited this long to act.

Glenn glanced in the direction Evangeline had come from, noticing a payphone not far away.

“Tessa might be in trouble.” Just as he was piecing things together, Evangeline choked out the words, her voice hoarse.
