The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 325

“Eve, you want to see Dominic again, right?

“Hold your horses, Roxanne said Dominic is already on his way.”

At that moment, Evelyn was truly pining for Dominic.

In her contact list, she had labeled Dominic as 'Till death do us part' - a testament to her wish to spend

her life with him, sharing the same blanket in life and resting side by side in death.

But today, out of the blue, she felt the sharp betrayal of a knife in her back.

Blood was seeping out more and more.

Her consciousness was fading. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

In a haze, she thought she saw a massive black hole, trying to suck her in.

The world around her was growing sharper, Harrison's voice telling her not to fall asleep, the sensation

of being lifted from the car, the voices of doctors.

All her senses were amplified.

She knew everything but couldn't open her eyes.

That must be what knocking on death's door felt like.

Now awake, she was so grateful to be alive.

The first thing she wanted when she opened her eyes was to see Dominic.

She gave her mother a weak blink and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, you always tell me to let go of Dominic,

but I just can't."

“Sweetie, I won’t push you into those blind dates anymore. Chase whoever your heart desires, as long

as you’re happy," Gloria said, tenderly stroking her daughter's cheek.

Tears streamed down, choking with emotion.

Her daughter had been so unfortunate, having to take over such a massive company for her father,

bearing such a heavy burden despite her free spirit and distaste for confinement.

From now on, Gloria wouldn't meddle in Evelyn’s love life.

Kyle, in his wheelchair, rolled closer to his daughter, "Eve, I will also stay out of your love life. If Dominic

is willing to be with you, we give our blessing for you to marry him."

Evelyn smiled through her tears.

“Mom, Dad, you always envy Uncle Vincent for having a cute little granddaughter, Angela, right?"

“When Dominic and I get married, I’ll have a baby girl, too, no, an entire soccer team.”

Gloria and Kyle indeed envied Vincent for his adorable granddaughter. However, at their daughter's

declaration to have a whole soccer team, Kyle gently tapped her nose with a teasing frown.

“Ladylike, remember? A little decorum, please?”

Evelyn pouted playfully, “Mom, I’m thirty, it’s normal to want kids.”

In their elite circles, thirty was still youthful.

Many didn’t marry or have children until their forties.

So Gloria and Kyle didn’t consider their daughter to be of an age to worry about.

Nearby, Roxanne and Harrison breathed a sigh of relief seeing Evelyn’s good spirits upon awakening.

Just then, Roxanne got a message from Dominic on WhatsApp and told everyone, “Dominic is here,

looks like he's waiting outside.”

Evelyn looked pleadingly at her parents and asked, “Mom, Dad, can I have a moment alone with

Dominic?”

Kyle frowned slightly, “Eve, you need to rest.”

“Dad,” Evelyn whined, “seeing Dominic will make me feel better. And the better I feel, the faster I’ll

recover.”

Gloria pushed her husband’s wheelchair, ready to leave. “Alright, alright. If it makes my daughter

happy, let them chat a bit more. Let's step out.”

Harrison took Roxanne’s hand. “Let’s give them some space.”

Dominic stood outside the room, watching the four exit.

He had never met Evelyn’s parents but knew from her stories about her father’s illness and the

circumstances that forced her into taking over the family business.

The dignified man in the wheelchair must be Evelyn’s father.

The woman who bore a striking resemblance to Evelyn was her mother.

He greeted them politely, “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, I'm a friend of President Miller. I came to see how she's

doing. Is she okay?”

Roxanne fretted over Dominic's attire – flip-flops to the hospital?

The Millers were prominent figures, and they were Evelyn’s parents. Would his casual appearance

tarnish his impression?

But the opposite was true.

Seeing Dominic's urgency to get to the hospital, Gloria surmised it was out of concern for her

daughter's safety, and she approved.

“You must be Dominic. Our daughter speaks of you often.”

Harrison suggested, “Aunt Gloria, let him go in and see Evelyn.”

“Yes, yes, of course,” Gloria replied with her cheerful temperament, “Dominic, go in and see Eve. She’s

been asking for you since she woke up.”

Harrison patted Dominic’s shoulder and said, “Go ahead, but remember she just had surgery, so don’t

let her talk too much. Just being there will be enough.”

“Okay.”

Dominic nodded and excused himself, “I'll go see Evelyn now.”

Once Dominic entered Evelyn's room, Gloria pushed her husband’s wheelchair, chuckling, “Honey, this

Dominic really does care for our Eve. Rushing to the hospital without even changing his shoes, he must

be worried sick about her.”

Watching Gloria and Kyle, Harrison felt sentimental, “Roxanne, look at them. Their love is so strong,

even after all these years.”

Roxanne envied their bond and how they supported each other through thick and thin.

“Roxanne.”

Harrison pulled her close with a gentle tug.

His lips grazed her cheek, lingering near her ear as he whispered, "When's the last time you were

sprawled across me, calling me 'honey' over and over?"

That image unbidden flashed through Roxanne's mind, warranting a mental censor.

Before the divorce, besides their intimate moments, she rarely addressed him as 'honey'.

She pulled away from his embrace, shooting him a glare and said bluntly, "Evelyn's still in the hospital

room, and here you are, filling your head with R-rated fantasies. Can't you, Harrison, show some

concern for your dear cousin?"

Harrison looked aggrieved.

In the hospital room.

Dominic's pace halted and then quickened upon seeing Evelyn, a touch pale yet offering him a sweet

smile from the bed.

He approached her bedside, frowning, "Your company has a dozen bodyguards; why does it have to be

you playing the hero? Next time something like this happens, you're not allowed to gamble with your

life."

There was a hint of reprimand in his tone, as if he was scolding Evelyn for being too recklessly brave.

Hearing this, Evelyn burst into laughter, a bit too vigorously, pulling at her wounds with a wince, "Ouch."

"What's wrong?" Dominic immediately stepped closer, concerned.
