Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)

It turned out that Lianne had secretly called the cops amidst the chaos just now. It was smart of her to do so!

Sighing in relief, I went over to help Kevin up. He was covered in bruises and cuts.

"Hang on, Kevin! We'll take you to the hospital!" I told him.

Kevin smiled weakly and muttered, "I'm fine. It's not like I'd die from a small injury like this. I can take it."

With much difficulty, he pushed himself up from the ground.

"Evelyn, we were lucky this time," he said. "But you still need to keep an eye out for Carlos, that psychopath. He won't give up that easily."

I nodded. I had mixed feelings about this. After what happened tonight, I finally knew what kind of person Carlos was.

I never thought that there would be such an atrocious and perilous side behind the glamorous facade of the fashion circle.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The cops arrived and interrogated us about what happened. Then, they recorded the case in great detail. Upon seeing the state Kevin was in, frowns creased their foreheads.

"Things aren't that simple with this Carlos since he had the guts to assault you three here in the streets," said one of the cops. "We'll look into this case thoroughly."

I nodded, content with how the cops were handling the matter. This incident was no small matter, so the authorities would take note of it.

After the cops left, Lianne and I took Kevin to the hospital. Fortunately, he wasn't gravely injured, and the doctor only needed to tend to his injuries for a while.

As I sat beside Kevin's bed in the ward, I started to feel sorry for him. Kevin wouldn't have had to go through all this if I hadn't provoked Carlos.

He had my back and risked his life to protect me, but I didn't know how to repay him.

He seemed to know that I was blaming myself for what happened, though. He patted my hand and said, "Evelyn, stop overthinking it. You're my friend. Of course, I'll have your back!"

He added, "Carlos is a scumbag who

deserves a good beating anyway. feel good punching him! Besides, I was doing my job as a righteous and responsible citizen by beating him upt

The way he jokingly comforted me erased all my negative emotions, and I ended up laughing. He was right. Life wasn't always smooth sailing.

The next day, I got a call from the guest professor.

"Evelyn, I heard that you were attacked by some thugs last night," he said, concerned. "Are you okay?"

I then briefed him on the incident last night. The professor fell silent for a while after hearing my explanation.

"I see. So it was Carlos. I knew he was a bad egg," said the professor. "Don't worry. I'll bring this up to the board. The school won't allow something like this to happen again."

I thanked him profusely after that. The weight on my heart finally lifted as I hung up. With the professor backing me up, it wouldn't be easy for Carlos to strike again.

Life was peaceful at the university for the next few days. I didn't see Carlos. It was as though he had disappeared from the surface of the Earth.

Meanwhile, my completed artwork

caused quite a stir. More and more

people started talking about my

design team. Kevin, Lianne, and I suddenly found ourselves in the spotlight at school.

"Evelyn, Kevin, Lianne..."

That was what we would hear when we walked past some students who were chatting among themselves.

When that happened, the three of us would shoot each other a knowing smile. We felt as if all the suffering we had been through was worth it.

The effort we made to achieve our

dreams had finally paid off. After class, for some unknown reason, Lianne suddenly pulled Kevin and me to the foot of the hill behind our university. en

"Guess who I saw coming to school just now?" she said.

Kevin and I had no idea, so we simply stared at her in confusion.
