Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 312

The car pulled up outside a cemetery in the suburbs.

"Wait for me here," Evangeline said to Finn as she got out. She walked into the cemetery and stopped before a small headstone.

It was the grave of her child, Alison Whitmore.

The headstone was spotless, free of even a speck of dust. Someone had been here recently. It was probably Soren. No one else would have come. But it didn't mean anything. A love that arrived too late was worthless. He might have loved their child, but he had still chosen to let the person who killed her go free, turning a blind eye to her death.

Evangeline gave a self-mocking smile. The child's death was a thorn in her heart that she could never remove. When Poppy mentioned the engagement, her thoughts had immediately flown to this innocent soul. After they were engaged, they would marry and have children of their own, a house full of laughter, while her child remained forever trapped in the memory of that car crash.

If only she had left sooner, or if she had never gone to find Soren that day, would her child still be alive? She shook her head, forcing the thought away. She was the victim, not the cause. She couldn't let them make her hate herself.

With a weary sigh, Evangeline placed the carefully chosen flowers in front of the headstone.

"Alison?" Finn's voice came from behind her. "Your child?"

Evangeline's shoulders tensed, but she kept her eyes downcast.

"I've never cared about things like this," Finn said gently, guessing her thoughts. "There's no shame in giving your all to someone you love. It's something to be proud of."
