His Second Chance, My New Beginning

Chapter 4

Evelyn

My grip on my phone tightened, as I listened to her pleading words.

"How could she possibly need me?" I dragged on my words with a lazy tone, as a smile danced on my face.

"Your sister....she was in an accident and she needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible. You know you have her rare blood type please...."

"So she needs my blood?" I asked, before Clara could say anymore.

Since Salvatore, Lara and I had the same blood type, for years, both of them had used me as a free blood bank.

No way I would allow them to use me the way they had in the past.

"Evelyn, stop asking so many questions and come down to the hospital immediately!"

Hearing my father's voice from the other end of the call, my heart sank.

"Fine, I'll be there!" I said, gritting my teeth.

Since they wanted me to give her my blood, I would do it.

However, I wouldn't let them take it for free the way they had in the past!

Without paying attention to Salvatore or his still fuming sister, I turned back and headed back towards the bedroom to get dressed.

"Hey, where are you going? We aren't done talking here!" I heard Nora call out to me.

"Leave now, Nora. Stop causing a scene," I heard Salvatore snap at her once again, before I tuned both of them out.

Less than ten minutes later, when I walked out of the huge walk-in closet all dressed up to go to the hospital, I saw Salvatore sitting on the bed, dressed, a smile on his face.

A frown rested on my face as I stared at the man, trying to figure out what he wanted.

Why did it seem like Salvatore had become a whole different person after my rebirth?

He wasn't like this in my past life!

"You're ready? Let's go, I'll send you to the hospital," he said.

Saying this, he stood up and picked up the car key and started to walk out of the bedroom.

Wanting to protest, but not getting a chance to, I could only follow behind him.

......

I climbed out of the car, making sure to slam the door forcefully behind me as I stepped out.

Salvatore was being weird the entire way, trying to make small talk with me.

He hated talking to me more than anything, and he even told me once that the sound of my voice got on his nerves!

I had no idea what he was up to, but I was determined to get the divorce one way or another.

Nothing would change my mind!

It wasn't difficult to locate the ward Lara and my parents were in.

They had a special ward for her whenever she came to the hospital.

Knocking on the door once, I pushed it open and entered, a cold look on my face.

Clara, whose face had been filled with worry just a few seconds ago, lit up when she saw me.

My father was seated by Lara whose eyes were closed, patting her hand with worry written all over his face.

My heart tightened at this scene, if only my father had cared about me half as much as he cared about Lara, my past life wouldn't have been filled with so much bitterness and regret.

"Evelyn, you are here, did Salvatore come with you?" Clara asked, as she looked behind me.

A sarcastic smile rested on my face, "did you want to see me or Salvatore?" I asked drily.

"You...." Clara frowned, as she looked towards my father helplessly.

I was used to this trick of hers. Over the years, she had succeeded in convincing my father that I was difficult and turning him against me using this trick.

"Evelyn, your mother was just asking a question, do you have to be so rude?"

His gaze, which had been filled with fatherly love for Lara just a few seconds ago, only held disdain for me now.

"You could have just called if you wanted to scold me," I said, turning back to walk out of the hospital room.

I would never let anyone trample all over me like they did in my past life!

"Evelyn, don't leave yet!" Clara, clearly panicking, pulled me back instantly.

"Your sister was involved in an accident while filming. The doctor says a surgery needs to be performed but they need blood on standby in case something goes wrong. I...."

"You want me to donate blood?" A smile spread out across my face as I turned to face her.

"She's your sister, this is something you should be doing!" My father added harshly from the side.

"It's just some blood, I can donate it," I spoke slowly, emphasising on each word that left my mouth.

"However..." I took a pause, making sure to look directly at my father's face as I continued my speech.

"I want my shares back if I am going to give her even a drop of my blood!" I demanded.

"Evelyn, have you lost your damn mind?!" My father was the first person who roared at me.

"I don't know why I had a daughter like you! Your sister is lying in the hospital and you are thinking about some damn shares?" My father's eyes widened, looking as if they were going to devour me for daring to make demands of him.

With an eye roll, I sneered coldly, "you forced me to give my shares away just because I was getting married to Salvatore. A marriage that benefits only you guys, by the way. I am just asking for something that belonged to me from the start. You can think about it and make a decision. Which is more important? My shares, or Lara's life!"

In my past life, I had foolishly given everything to these people, thinking that they would one day approve of me if I was a good daughter.

However, I had learned too late that it would never happen, because they never wanted me around.

"Evelyn, how can you make such a demand from your father? No matter what, you are still his daughter, it doesn't matter if the shares are in your name or not. Besides, you are already married to Salvatore. As the madam of the Harrington Empire, you don't need those shares. I... "

"It seems you've made your decision then!"

Clara was still going on when I interrupted her coldly.

"You can keep those shares, however, I won't be saving Lara this time!"

Saying this, I turned and headed out of the ward, not paying attention to the looks on their faces.

As soon as I pulled the door open, my heart froze when I saw who was standing outside.

Had he overheard the entire conversation?
