NovelAppChapter 722 Don’t Bewilder Yourself
“When you had the accident, the police declared you dead, and the person who suffered the most was
Huston. For a long time, he almost abandoned himself, neglecting everything, quitting his job, indulging
in alcohol, and damaging himself. No matter who tried to advise him, he wouldn’t listen. It was as if he
didn’t care about his own life.”
“Don’t be fooled by his current appearance, acting high and mighty. In these five years, he has
undergone significant changes in temperament. Many times, his eyes were empty, devoid of emotions
and spirit, only knowing to search for you, yearn for you, and then torment himself. He almost went
back to the place where the accident.happened every day, believing that it was a way to accompany
you and ease your fears.”
As he spoke, Kevin couldn’t help but recall Huston’s previous state, feeling deeply moved. He said, “I

he didn’t fare well either. I don’t mean to make comparisons, but I just hope you understand the depth
of his feelings for you.”
Evelyn actually understood. She had heard these words more than once, and each time, it pained her
to hear them. However, when facing that man, she always felt that they had drifted too far apart, with
too many unresolved issues standing between

barrier that couldn’t be ignored.
She lowered her gaze, her eyes fixed on a certain spot on the table, feeling lost in thought. “But for me,
it would be a kind of compromise.”
“Is it because of your feelings or because of Lucas?”
Kevin had laid out the questions so clearly that Evelyn didn’t know how to answer. It seemed like she
was completely exposed in front of him, with nowhere to hide her true intentions. All her attempts to
conceal seemed futile.
However, Kevin didn’t push her further and gently advised, “Matters of the heart are between the two of
you, and I won’t say much about that. But when it comes to Lucas, I understand that you have been
solely responsible for his upbringing since birth, and it has been challenging. Your emotional
connection with Lucas runs deep. However, Huston is Lucas’s father, and that cannot be disregarded. If
you were in his shoes, would you agree to give up Lucas?”
Evelyn couldn’t even entertain such a hypothetical scenario, let alone accept it.
Her life was already structured this way, and Lucas was everything to her.
“Kevin, when I separated from Huston, I never thought about finding someone else to spend the rest of
my life with. I can give up everything, but I can’t compromise when it comes to Lucas.” Her emotional
wounds were already too deep, and loving

As Kevin looked at the woman before him, he realized that five years had transformed her from a 24-
year-old girl into someone who had her own life and aspirations. Her eyes held a newfound
determination, and she had something she wanted to protect.
Evelyn was remarkable and deserving of care.
To Kevin, Evelyn felt like his own sister, and he genuinely wished for her happiness. “Evelyn, as your
friend, not just Huston’s friend, I still hope you can be more open-minded. The past is behind you, and
the people and events that caused you to be painful have settled into dust. If you truly no longer love
him, then I won’t say anything more. I wish you all the best for the future. But I can see that you still
have love for him. Don’t deceive yourself. In the end, you will regret it.”
Every word he spoke resonated in Evelyn’s heart. She heard it all, yet her confusion deepened.
Everyone told her that she still loved him, except for herself, as she desperately denied it. Could it be
that she was truly mistaken?
The events of five years ago, Huston had apologized, but he had never explained. She admitted that
she hadn’t let go of the past, that it still haunted her. But the Lloyd family also played a part in that.
They all made her feel fear and unease.
