Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 271

Evangeline was surprised to hear from Flora. Poppy had taken Soren to the hospital, which was exactly what Flora had always wanted. This was the perfect opportunity for Poppy to prove her devotion. So why was Flora calling her?

"Flora, your brother and I are divorced," Evangeline said calmly. "His health is no longer my concern."

Flora was stunned by her nonchalant tone. In the past, whenever Soren was sick or in trouble, Evangeline was always the first one at the hospital. When she had arrived earlier and only found Poppy, she had assumed Evangeline simply didn't know. Flora had actually been pleased, thinking it was a good chance for Poppy and Soren to bond. But then, in his feverish state, Soren had started calling out Evangeline's name. The doctor had said someone needed to stay with him overnight, and Poppy was too delicate for that. So, Flora had decided to give Evangeline the "opportunity" to take care of him.

But now, it sounded like Evangeline knew and simply didn't care.

"How can you be so cold-hearted?" Flora snapped. "Even if you're divorced, he was your husband for five years! You need to come to the hospital. My brother needs you."

"Poppy is your new sister-in-law. She can take care of him," Evangeline replied.

"Poppy needs her rest," Flora said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Evangeline finally understood. "So you want me to be his nurse?" she asked, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "What's your rate?"

"Rate?" Flora sputtered, her voice rising in outrage. "You want to be paid? Have you lost your mind? Do you know how many women would kill for the chance to take care of my brother? I was doing you a favor by calling you! Is money all you think about now? You're so pathetic, it's disgusting!"
