Chapter 464

Evelyn Ross pulled John Evans to his feet.

He looked at her with dazed eyes.

His feet remained rooted to the spot.

He didn't care how Jason Evans treated him.

But he truly didn't want to implicate his sister.

Evelyn saw his struggle.

She sighed softly.

"Haven't you realized it yet?"

"Jason won't let you off."

"There's no need to stay here."

"Some people's hearts are made of stone."

"They can never be warmed."

John looked at Jason.

Jason sneered.

"If your manhood was severed."

"Could you forgive the culprit?"

"I will never let you go."

"I'll torment you slowly."

"Bit by bit."

John's eyes reddened.

He stared at him intensely.

Jane Evans suddenly grabbed John's hand.

She signed to him.

"Brother, let's leave."

"I don't want to see him anymore."

John lowered his head.

He followed her out of the hospital room.

John still walked with a limp.

Just after they left the room.

They heard Jason's mocking laughter.

"Ha, the disabled alliance?"

"A cripple and a mute."

"What a perfect match!"

John paused mid-step.

But he didn't look back.

After exiting the hospital.

John sighed.

"Jane, I'm sorry for failing you."

Jane shook her head.

She signed in response.

"Don't say that."

"We're family."

John nodded.

"Don't worry."

"We can transfer schools if necessary."

"Or even go abroad if needed."

"My leg is almost healed."

"I'll start job hunting tomorrow."

"To save money for you."

"I refuse to believe the Evans family can control everything."

Jane nodded vigorously.

She continued signing.

"As long as we're together."

"Any life is good enough."

She glanced at her phone.

John noticed her movement.

"Do you want to attend the Nora Research Institute interview?"

Jane nodded.

John sighed.

"I've inquired about it."

"They don't hire interns."

"You've probably been scammed."

Jane lowered her head.

She looked dejected.

Evelyn twitched her lips.

"Whether it's a scam or not."

"We'll find out tomorrow when we go."

Jane hesitated.

John immediately nodded.

"Right, let's try tomorrow."

"I'll go with you."

Seeing the hope in John's eyes.

Jane wrestled with her thoughts for a moment.

Finally, she nodded firmly.

No matter what.

They had to try.

So they wouldn't regret it later.

Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to speak.

Awkward Chinese echoed from afar.

"I discovered several mayors in China."

"Are actually the same person!"

A secretary sounded puzzled.

"That's impossible."

The voice continued.

"It's true."

"I visited San Francisco."

"And saw a big sign."

"San Francisco Mayor Jiang Bridge welcomes you."

"Yesterday I went to South City."

"It also said South City Mayor Jiang Bridge welcomes you."

"And also滨城."

"Also said Mayor Jiang Bridge welcomes you."

"China is so strange."

"Who is this Jiang Bridge?"

"How can he be so many mayors?"

The secretary was speechless.

Evelyn raised an eyebrow and looked over.

She saw a familiar face.

Anthony Castillo.

Back in San Francisco.

She mistook him for a construction worker.

And gave him an umbrella.

Later she learned he was an overseas real estate tycoon.

They had no further contact after that.

She had almost forgotten about him.

Why was he in New York?

He walked away with his secretary.

Not noticing them.

Evelyn withdrew her gaze.

But at that moment.

She glimpsed a familiar doctor's figure.

Mason Evans?

Evelyn's pupils constricted.

She wanted to chase after him.

But the doctor had already turned the corner.

She jogged a few steps.

When she reached the spot.

The person had vanished.

Evelyn frowned.

Mason Evans was special to her.

Back in San Francisco.

When she needed monthly iron infusions.

Mason always reminded her of the timing.

He was essentially her private doctor.

Evelyn pursed her lips in recollection.

Actually, they didn't know each other initially.

When she moved out of the Ashcroft family.

She was emaciated.

And frequently fell ill.

Mason was a doctor at a small clinic.

Near her rental apartment.

During her first episode of fainting.

She didn't know she had iron deficiency anemia.

She collapsed outside.

When she woke up.

Mason was taking care of her.

He told her.

"One day early every month."

"You must come for IV infusions."

"Otherwise you'll faint from anemia."

"If not discovered in time."

"You could go into shock and die."

"Understood?"

Back then, Evelyn looked bewildered.

She simply nodded.

But she sensed an air of mystery.

About this man.

It felt like he was connected to her.

He held secrets.

Mason was deep and calculating.

Evelyn instinctively kept her distance.

Their relationship was close yet distant.

She couldn't afford the fees.

Mason said.

"Consider me your honorary brother."

"Free treatment from now on."

But Evelyn didn't truly know him.

She didn't know what he did.

After her death, when she returned to San Francisco as Grace Nan.

She went looking for him.

But found he had already left.

She didn't think much of it then.

But why would he be in New York?

As Evelyn pondered.

Alexander Vance cleared his throat.

Bringing her back to reality.

Evelyn looked at John and Jane waiting beside her.

Her gaze settled on Jane.

"Jane."

"That jade pendant you asked me to retrieve from Jason."

"Can I take a look at it?"
