Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 425

No.

Just as he hadn't believed Evangeline before.

Only now did Soren clearly feel the sting of karma.

He didn't speak, and Evangeline took his silence as a confirmation.

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Evangeline said.

"Wait," Soren cut in.

But after speaking, he paused again.

It used to be him who always hung up first, who turned and walked away, leaving Evangeline with his cold back. But somewhere along the line, their roles had reversed.

Before, Soren had only felt angry and annoyed by it.

But now, holding the phone, he found himself wanting to hear her voice just a little longer.

"What is it?" Evangeline asked concisely.

Her tone held only a hint of curiosity, devoid of any other emotion.

Soren felt a pang of disappointment.

He glanced down at the bandages wrapped around his chest and said with feigned indignation, "I almost died saving you. Don't you think you should at least show some concern and ask how I'm recovering?"

Evangeline hadn't forgotten about his injury, but he was with the Fawkes family, and Poppy was there to take care of him.

As long as he wasn't dead, there was really nothing to ask about.

Evangeline replied perfunctorily, "You sound full of energy. I'm guessing you're recovering well."

"I'm faking it."

Soren hinted, "The doctor said my recovery has been so-so. Maybe if I could have some nourishing soup every day, I'd get better faster."

Evangeline was silent. The old Soren almost never showed weakness, let alone say something so humbling.

But she had noticed back at the cliff that Soren wasn't quite the same person anymore.

The old Soren was aloof and so cold he seemed emotionless. But the new him seemed less and less inclined to hide his feelings.
