Chapter 47: I Won’t Give Her Up to You Anymore

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: I Won’t Give Her Up to You Anymore

Besides, even if they got to the hospital, they couldn’t treat her right away. They’d have to assess the situation first.

And with the time wasted on the road, there was no guarantee she could hold on that long.

"But..."

"What are you hesitating for? It’s not like you two haven’t been together before!" Harry Quinn just didn’t get it.

Ryan Sterling pressed his lips together. "I don’t want to take advantage of her like this."

’He wanted Evelyn, every moment of every day, but not by taking possession of her like this!’

"You’d be saving her life! Even when Evelyn Grant wakes up, she’ll understand!"

"..."

Seeing Ryan Sterling still hesitate, Harry Quinn said bluntly, "Look, I’ve said my piece. If you’re going to insist on being a gentleman, then you’ll have to live with the consequences. You can only pray that Evelyn Grant makes it through this, that she can hold on until the ambulance gets here and takes her to the hospital."

The line went dead. When Ryan Sterling returned to the bathroom, Evelyn Grant had slipped completely underwater in the tub!

Panicked, he instantly pulled her out of the water and into his arms.

"Evelyn Grant, wake up!"

"I’m so hot..." She couldn’t tell who was holding her. All that was left was instinct, her hands reaching out to hug him back, to tug at his clothes. "Take me... I’m begging you..."

Evelyn Grant was in agony.

She felt like she was being roasted over an open flame.

A muscle in Ryan Sterling’s jaw twitched. He held her hands firmly. "Are you sure... you want me?"

"Help me... please, help me..."

"Alright."

He couldn’t bear to see her suffer like this any longer.

...

This time was even rougher than the last.

It wasn’t just that Ryan Sterling was hardly any more experienced than he’d been before.

It was because Evelyn Grant was pregnant.

Finally, he saw the tension in Evelyn Grant’s brow slowly ease, and her body was no longer so rigid.

Between the struggle with Julian Sterling at the Sterling Estate and the exhaustion from this ordeal, she had already fallen asleep before Ryan Sterling was even finished.

Seeing her finally at peace, Ryan Sterling gritted his teeth, pulled away, and went into the bathroom.

After taking a cold shower, he walked out and glanced at his phone.

That’s when he noticed over a dozen missed calls from Julian Sterling.

Ryan Sterling’s expression was placid, his eyes betraying no emotion.

Soon, Julian Sterling called again.

This time, he picked up.

For a moment, Julian Sterling was at a loss for words.

The two brothers were silent for a few seconds before the voice on the other end spoke. "You... Is Evelyn Grant with you?"

"Yes."

"Then you two..."

"You know perfectly well what kind of drug you gave her, don’t you?"

Julian Sterling’s voice instantly rose to a shout. "Ryan Sterling! That’s my woman! Your sister-in-law! How could you..."

"Evelyn Grant is divorced from you. You’re the one who cast her aside."

"I didn’t cast her aside!"

"Then why did you want her to get the death penalty?" Ryan Sterling cut right to the heart of the matter. "Julian, you never cherished her. So, she’s not your woman anymore."

Julian Sterling clearly couldn’t accept this.

He blurted out in protest, "I was just deceived! After the evidence came out, she was released. I didn’t try to send her back to prison, did I?"

"Evelyn Grant got out because she’s not a murderer, not because you let her off the hook."

As for Julian Sterling, he had been dead set on making her accompany Jane Jacobs to the grave!

"I..."

"Julian, since you don’t know how to cherish her, then I’m not giving her back to you."
