The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 594

“What’s wrong? You look awful. Did the doctor check you out? Are you feeling sick anywhere?”

Evelyn shook her head softly. “I’m fine.”

Once he was sure she was okay, Brooks finally turned to Charles. “Thanks for bringing Evelyn to the hospital, Mr. Jenkins.”
