Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 220

Hearing Glenn’s words, Evangeline—no matter how much she wanted to insist—had no choice but to let go of the idea.

He was right.

If she left Serenity City and ran into Victor, not only would she be of no help, she’d probably just be a burden.

Seeing the resignation settle over her, Glenn said gently, “Go upstairs and take care of yourself. If Tessa saw you like this, she’d be worried sick.”

It was only then that Evangeline noticed the pain from her injuries.

Glenn led her up to her room and carefully tended to her wounds.

Just as he finished and turned to leave, she reached out and tugged at the corner of his jacket.

Glenn glanced down to see Evangeline quickly pull her hand back, her unease written all over her face.

“I’m sorry,” she murmured. “Back when everything happened with Theresa… if I’d only been braver—”

He didn’t let her finish. “You have nothing to be sorry for,” Glenn said softly. “You did everything you could.”

She’d barely had time to mourn her mother before being thrust into the chaos of the will, the attacks from the Lockridges, and the relentless gossip swirling around her. Even with all that crushing her, she’d still managed to pull herself together and orchestrate an airtight plan to help Theresa escape from under Victor’s nose.

It must have been hell for her.

Glenn bent down and gently tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear. “If anyone owes an apology, it’s me.”

If only he’d paid more attention back then—if only he’d noticed sooner, maybe she wouldn’t have had to suffer as much.

He stayed for a while longer, murmuring soft reassurances until he was sure she’d calmed down before finally leaving her to rest.

But Evangeline barely slept that night.

Every time she closed her eyes, images of Theresa flashed before her: her face drained of color, her body slick with blood. Once, she dreamed of Theresa standing in front of her, clothes soaked, eyes hollow and distant.
