Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 299

The news hit Evangeline like a physical blow, leaving her mind blank and her heart clenched in a tight fist. The maid wouldn't have called her for a minor issue. This was serious. She had suspected something was wrong ever since Old Mrs. Fawkes had unexpectedly announced her will at the banquet. She had tried to contact her afterward, but had always been told she was resting. She thought she was prepared, but the call still felt like a shock.

She forced herself to remain calm. "How is she?"

The maid explained that Soren had brought Poppy to the Fawkes estate for a formal visit. They had waited for a long time, but the old woman never came out of her room. Everyone assumed she was showing her disapproval of Poppy. It was only when the maid went in to check on her that she found her unconscious on the floor.

"The doctor said her organs are failing," the maid said, her voice cracking. "Even with the best care, she has six months at most." She had been by the old woman's side for years and knew her health was fragile. Still, the reality was devastating.

"Miss Whitmore, she's still very weak, but when she wakes up, you're the person she'll want to see most. I know you and Mr. Fawkes are divorced, but for her sake, please, come to the hospital."
