Being a doctor , Lucas understood exactly what the test results meant .
His eyes reddened as he asked shakily , You have stomach cancer ? Evelyn , emerging from her nightmare , gradually regained composure .
She took a deep breath , wiped away her tears , and nodded .
Lucas shot to his feet .
And you still drink alcohol ?! Issac forced you again , didnt he ? Evelyn lowered her eyes in silence .
But Lucas already knew the answer .
His heart aching , he grabbed her hand .
You cant go on like this .
You must leave him and start treatment immediately ! But Evelyn pulled her hand away .
She forced a smile .
Its not that serious .
Dont worry , Ill take care of myself .
Dont you understand this is cancer … I dont want to be hospitalized , Lucas .
Please let me make my own decisions .
Seeing her determination , Lucas knew he couldnt convince her .
He also knew that Sophias death five years ago was a wound she couldnt heal from .
Thats why she became Issacs personal assistant as penance , why she never refused anything he demanded of her .
19:27 Its Too Late for Your Expired Regrets 0.7 % Chapter 2 Unable to change her mind , Lucas stayed to care for her through the night , returning to the hospital early the next morning .
Evelyn hurried to work .
Today , she was to accompany Issac to a gala .
But not as his date- merely as his assistant .
Summer Hayes was his date .
Seeing Evelyn , Summers face filled with contempt .
Evelyn , I admire your thick skin , still hanging around Issac .
Summer had been their high school classmate , harboring feelings for Issac since childhood .
Having lost to the penniless Evelyn back then , Summer had always been jealous .
Now , as Issacs fiancée , she could finally torment Evelyn freely.
Evelyn offered no defense , standing quietly to the side .
When Issac approached , Summer clung to his arm affectionately .
Issac.
Issac didnt resist her touch , but his eyes turned cold when they fell on Evelyn .
Who said you could enter the ballroom ? Wait outside .
Winter had settled over the city , and there was no heating outside only bitter wind .
Evelyn simply nodded .
Alright .
She walked out to an open garden that offered no shelter from the elements .
Evelyn stood in the biting wind , her thin frame shivering .
A concerned server asked if shed like to wait in the break room .
Evelyn silently shook her head .
She stood there until nightfall , until the gala ended .
Summer emerged wearing Issacs coat .
They both saw Evelyn still standing outside .
His throat tightened , his voice unexpectedly hoarse : Why are you still standing here ? Get going .
19:27 Its Too Late for Your Expired Regrets 1.0 % Chapter 2 He left with Summer , Evelyn following behind .
As they passed the gardens artificial lake , Summers lips curved into a smile .
She stumbled forward , pretending to be pushed .
Oh no ! My bracelet fell into the lake ! She turned to Evelyn in staged anger .
Why did you push me ? Evelyn instinctively defended herself : I didnt … Still lying ! Summer pouted at Issac .
Issac , that was my favorite bracelet .
Issacs gaze lingered on Evelyn for several long seconds before he said quietly : Jump in and find it .
No questions asked hed already condemned her .
Evelyn looked at the lake , feeling the bitter cold from just one glance .
But she silently entered the water .
The lake wasnt deep , reaching just above her knees .
But the winter water was brutally cold , each step like walking on ice blades .
Already weak , Evelyn began to sway dangerously as she searched .
Issac watched for only a few seconds before turning away .
Find that bracelet , or clear out your desk in the morning , he said coldly , leading Summer away .
