CHAPTER 660 DO YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIM? 

Lucy sat on the sofa, holding onto Evelyn’s hand. Her once broad and sturdy palm was now unusually cracked. Evelyn felt a deep pain in her heart, and tears that had just stopped started welling up again. “Mom, have you been doing okay all these years?”

“How could I be okay…” Lucy wiped her tears with her hand. “After you had your accident, your father and I cried every day at home. Our eyes were nearly blinded by tears. There was a time when we even started hallucinating, seeing you when we opened and closed our eyes…”

“I’m sorry.” Evelyn didn’t know what else to say. It was all her

fault to bring this upon them. They had been unlucky to have a daughter like her.

“Now that you’re back, let’s not dwell on these useless matters,” Ben interrupted Lucy. He seemed tough on the outside but was actually deeply saddened by the changes. their family had gone through. He didn’t want to continue being filled with sorrow. “Where have you been all these years? What have you been doing? Tell your mother and me.”

Evelyn recounted everything that had happened over the past five years, sharing every detail, including the existence of the child.

The elderly couple listened, feeling a mix of emotions, and for a while, they didn’t know what to say.

“So, this child is yours and Huston’s?” Lucy finally stammered, after a long silence.

Evelyn nodded. “Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left five years ago. But at that time, the court ruling had just come out, and I didn’t have time to consider everything, so I…”

“Silly girl, do you know how much Huston has endured

because of you? You really… I don’t even know what to

say about you!” Lucy was both pitying and angry at her misfortune. “You’ve caused so much pain for yourself and for

us.”

Evelyn’s heart ached, realizing that everyone would consider their own position before anything else, but it’s only parents who unconditionally stand by your side.

“Mom, that’s all in the past. I’m back now and doing fine.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Tears continued to stream down Lucy’s face, choking back her

words.

Ben raised his hand to comfort his wife while watching their daughter attentively. “What are your plans? This child has a future ahead. Are you planning to leave again after coming back?”

Evelyn pondered for a moment and honestly expressed her thoughts. “Perhaps I will leave again, but Mom, Dad, rest assured, even if I leave this time, I will take you with me.”

“Your mother and I are getting old. We can’t handle much upheaval. We’re just grateful that you’re still alive. If you want to go back to Eoland, your mother and I won’t stop you. As long as you live a good life, we’ll be content.” Ben’s every word carried the weight of mountains, exuding a sense of unwavering strength.

In truth, parents always consider their children first and then themselves. Evelyn hadn’t fully understood this before, but now that she had a child of her own, she experienced this unique and irreplaceable bond.

“The child’s well-being is the top priority. Now that you’re back, you need to have a clear conversation with Huston. No matter what, he is the child’s father, and you need to communicate properly.”

“I understand, Mom and Dad. Please don’t worry too much,” Evelyn didn’t want them to burden their hearts any further. She didn’t want to delve into heavy and complicated matters.

As an elder, Lucy couldn’t help but say a few more words, considering the situation deeply. “Evelyn, even though you raised the child, you are still a woman. If you can’t be together with Huston in the end and plan to marry someone else in the future, it won’t be easy to find someone willing to accept this child. I know you may not want to hear it, but it’s the truth. Mom doesn’t want to see you struggle alone like this.”

“Mom, from the moment the child took the surname, Shelton, I made a lifelong commitment to be responsible for him,” Evelyn replied calmly. She understood that they were all concerned for her well- being.

“But…”

“Do you still have feelings for Huston?” Ben interrupted Lucy, asking directly.

Evelyn’s heart trembled as she met her father’s gaze, serious, meticulous, earnest, and profound. She couldn’t come up with any perfunctory words at that moment. “I don’t know.

This time coming back, I want to confront these unresolved feelings within myself.”
