The Day Our Promise Breaks
Chapter 201

Chapter 201
Charles had just logged into the cloud storage for the surveillance footage. Those cameras had been set up since the day they
moved in, and the recordings had been sitting there for five years. As he thought about all the moments he'd missed in Charlie's
life, an overwhelming urge to watch the footage hit him. But just as he was about to hit play, his phone buzzed.
It was Tony on the line. "Mr. Charles, your grandma has fainted."
The news hit Charles like a ton of bricks, and all thoughts of the footage vanished. He bolted out the door without a second
thought.
At the hospital, Charles found Patrick, Carmen, and the rest of the Jenkins clan already gathered outside the emergency room.
Evelyn was there, too. Even from a distance, Charles could catch Patrick's sharp words aimed at Evelyn, "What right do you
have to be here?"
Evelyn knew Patrick was angry. She hadn't played along with his plan yesterday to make her relationship with Charles public,
which had mortified both Charles and the Jenkins family. Patrick had never been fond of her, and after yesterday, his disdain had
only grown.
But Evelyn brushed off Patrick's words. She didn't argue back or even acknowledge him, focusing instead on the emergency
room doors with worry etched on her face. The only person she cared about in the Jenkins family was Rosa. Her concern for
Rosa was the only reason she was there.
Her indifference only fueled Patrick's anger. "This isn't your place. Get out now!"
Evelyn stood her ground. "This is a public place and not Jenkins property. You can't make me leave." Her determination to stay,
driven by her concern for Rosa, meant she wouldn't budge while Rosa was still in danger.
Patrick was livid. The Jenkins family was a big deal in the Capital, and people usually treated him with respect. Yet here was
Evelyn, the daughter of a servant, standing up to him.
"Let's see about that!" Patrick signaled to his bodyguards. They stepped forward without hesitation Though eager to help Evelyn,
Tony knew he couldn't go against Patrick's orders. He glanced at Evelyn, urged her to step away, and promised to update her
about Rosa.

But things escalated quickly. A bodyguard roughly grabbed Evelyn's arms, and another was about to strike her when a stern
voice cut through the tension. "I dare anyone to touch her!" en
Charles had arrived just in time. The bodyguard froze, and Charles swiftly kicked him into the wall. The other bodyguard
released Evelyn and found himself knocked back by Charles as well.
Patrick's face was a mask of frustration, but he knew better than to cross Charles. Charles ignored Patrick, focusing on Evelyn.
He held her wrist gently. "Are you okay?"
Evelyn, however, pulled away, her expression cold. She moved to a spot away from the Jenkins family. Her eyes were still fixed
on the emergency room door.
Charles felt a pang of frustration but didn't push it. He called Tony over to get the lowdown on the situation, then stood beside
Evelyn, waiting.
Soon enough, the emergency room doors swung open. Evelyn moved forward, and despite Patrick's displeasure, Charles stood
by her side.
Dr. Nelson emerged with the other doctors, and with a reassuring smile, he addressed them, "Mr. Charles, Ms. Evelyn, don't
worry. Rosa's going to be fine."
