Chapter 442 He Still Couldn’t Stop
It
Unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer, Evelyn
was the first to break the silence. She shifted her gaze away and chuckled softly, “I guess it’s too much
to ask. I don’t expect you to…”
“I can promise you.” Huston interrupted her and continued, “But it will have to wait until she recovers. At
that time, I will
arrange for someone to send her back.”
“After she recovers?” Evelyn shook her head. Her voice was very soft like she was talking to herself or
him. “How can it be so easy for her to recover?”
Even if he could truly fulfill his promise, Mia would surely do something to harm her body and avoid
being sent away.
“Let’s break up.” In the end, Evelyn said, “Dragging this on is not good for you, for me, or Mia. I no
longer have the energy or confidence to continue this prolonged struggle.”
She used the word “struggle” to describe this relationship,

“As I said, I won’t let you go. If you’re determined to leave, you can…” Huston paused slightly, and his
lips twitched. “You can try and see if you can leave Jewel City.”
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened. “Are you threatening me?!”
“I’m not trying to threaten you; I just feel like I can’t hold onto you anymore.” If there were any way, he
wouldn’t resort to such measures.
“Huston, doing this will only make me regret meeting you.”
Every word Evelyn said was like a knife stabbing into Huston’s heart. She might not have realized it,
but he was already in so much pain that he was becoming numb. His eyes held a hint of sadness, but
he didn’t want anyone to see it, so he pretended to be calm. “Even so, I won’t let you leave, Evelyn. I’ve
said it before; I can’t be without you.”
Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, Evelyn realized that continuing to speak would be
futile. So she nodded, though her expression didn’t show much agreement. “Fine, let’s continue
tormenting each other like this. There will come a day when you can’t bear it anymore.”
In this situation, she would become like an emotionless
puppet. She didn’t believe that a proud man like Huston could
endure it.
Huston least wanted to hear her say such words. Even if he
had to keep her bound here, he would never agree to let her leave.
“You’d better give up on the idea of leaving me and stay by my side. I promise you that such a situation
will never happen again. It is absolutely impossible for you to leave.”
Evelyn was disgusted by his words. She took a step back and distanced herself from him again. “I’ll
pay the medical expenses. You don’t have to worry about it. I’ve already thought about resigning. I
hope you can approve it as soon as possible.”
Her attitude was firm, and there was no room for negotiation. Huston did not doubt that even if he did
not approve, she would definitely not go to the company again.
The conversation ended on such an unpleasant note, with very few words exchanged between them. It
wasn’t that they didn’t want to speak, but rather that there was nothing
more to say. How much Evelyn wanted to leave, Huston now
realized.

He still couldn’t stop her. He could only hope that Mia could
recover as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Mia’s thoughts were exactly the opposite
of Huston’s. Ever since she returned from abroad, she had no intention of leaving again. However, with
the recent turn of events, even if Huston didn’t blame her, he must have formed some opinions about
her. Therefore, she needed to expedite her own plans.
Fortunately, while resting in the hospital, there was news from Maura’s side. Sandy’s condition was
deteriorating. Although she had been in a state of brain death, recent developments showed signs of
cerebral hemorrhage and atrophy. The hospital was preparing to notify her family.
“Huston will find out soon. What are you going to do?”
Maura’s low voice came from the other end of the line.
After all, she was in the hospital, not at home, so Mia was cautious and ensured no one was around
before speaking up. “No need to make a fuss for now. You keep an eye on that side, and if there’s any
action from Huston, inform me promptly.”
