Chapter 5 

A roar filled Evander’s mind, and his vision whited out. 

Behind him, the frantic shouts of Sophia and James faded into a distant buzz. 

His legs were moving of their own accord, propelling him in a mad dash for the ER. 

The door to the emergency room was half open. Evander rushed forward in a single stride and 

shoved it hard. The door flew open with a loud crash. 

“Mr. Hayes, stop! You can’t go in there!” 

Several nurses hurried over to stop him. 

But Evander was frantic beyond reason. He brushed them aside without a second thought. 

He stumbled to the bedside. His hands trembled violently as he reached for the white sheet and slowly drew it back from the patient’s face. 

In that instant, his entire body froze. “This… this isn’t Liora?” 

Just then, Sophia caught up to him, gasping for breath. 

“Evander! We were yelling for you! It’s not Liora-the woman who collapsed. Just a 

similar-sounding name.” 

Evander paused, stunned. Then, filled with guilt, he gently pulled the white sheet back into place, 

his voice hoarse. 

“I’m so sorry. I acted recklessly just now and caused you all so much trouble.” 

Once he was outside the room, Evander finally let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. 

He wiped his palm, slick with cold sweat, against his pants. 

Thank god. It was a false alarm. Liora was safe. That was all that mattered. 

Outside the room, Sophia stood with her arms crossed, her brows tightly knit as she studied him. 

“What is going on with you two? Why did Liora just take off like that?” 

“I…” Evander’s lips moved, but for a moment, he didn’t know how to explain. 

Sophia’s frown deepened, a note of reproach in her voice.

“Look, I don’t know what’s between you, or why you’re so convinced Liora’s someone she’s not. But you can’t judge a book by its cover.” 

“All I know is, she’s been a perfect wife to you and a true friend to me. Isn’t that enough?” 

It felt as though an invisible hand had clenched tightly around Evander’s heart, making it throb 

painfully. 

Sophia was right. 

In the novel, Liora was the villainess. Yet in all the years since, she’d never hurt a soul. She’d even 

befriended the heroine. 

Meanwhile, he himself had lived in constant fear, doubting her at the slightest hint of trouble, 

Evander slowly lowered his gaze. 

At that moment, James let out a faint, knowing smile and reached out to pat Evander on the 

shoulder. 

“Evander, you’re all bark. You’re not half as cold as you pretend to be. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lost it back there.” “Sat what you will, but that girl’s love for you is plain for anyone to see.” 

“Stop overthinking things. Sophia’s got me. She doesn’t need your protection. Stop hiding from your own feelings and do what’s right.” 

James was still smiling, but there was a depth in his eyes that was hard to read. 

Evander looked at him with a complicated expression. 

After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded. 

James said nothing more. He wrapped an arm around Sophia’s waist, and the two of them turned and left together. 

Evander stood where he was, watching their figures fade into the distance. 

He slowly lifted his hand, staring at the divorce papers crushed in his fist. 

The sight of her neat, familiar handwriting sent another sharp pang through his heart. 

So she had known everything all along.
