Chapter 4 Evelyn blacked out on the way to the hospital . When she woke up , the stark white ceiling above her confirmed she was in a hospital room . The sharp smell of disinfectant filled her nose . She slowly moved her eyes to take in her surroundings the room was empty . There was no one but her . From outside the door came the muffled voices of two nurses , tinged with sarcasm and disdain . " Ms. Hart only had some scratches on her arm , but Mr. Roscente rushed all the doctors over and even made sure they used the best medicine so she wouldn't scar . ) ) " And this Ms. Winston ? Nearly drowned and lost consciousness , yet she only gets watched by two interns . The difference is night and day . " " No kidding . I passed by her room earlier , and Mr. Roscente was calling Ms. Hart ' honey ' like she was the love of his life . He's totally wrapped around her finger . " Evelyn's fingers twitched slightly . A bitter taste rose in her throat . She remembered the time she had a fever of 39 ° C . Matthew had called a private doctor in the middle of the night and stayed up all night . Now , after nearly drowning , she didn't even have anyone sitting by her bed . The door opened . Wo intern nurses stepped inside . One of them rolled her eyes when she saw Evelyn awake . " Well , look who's finally up . Tough to take down , huh ? " Evelyn said nothing , slowly sitting up with some effort . " Oh , quit pretending , " the other nurse scoffed . " You knew he already had someone else . Ms. Hart and Mr. Roscente have a kid together , and you're still clinging on ? Pretending to drown just to make a scene that's disgusting . " - Evelyn finally looked up at them , her voice hoarse . " Who told you I was the homewrecker ? " The nurse sneered . " No one had to . Ms. Hart is my friend . She and Mr. Roscente are madly in love , they have a baby , and you just had to butt in between them . What else could you be ? " " Mr. Roscente was so worried about Ms. Hart , calling her ' honey ' over and over and begging the doctors to save her skin . You ? " Chapter 4 3.17 % She paused , looking Evelyn up and down with contempt . " You were lying there unconscious and nobody cared . Maybe it's time you woke up to reality . " Evelyn said nothing . She simply lowered her gaze , hiding the bitterness in her eyes . One of the nurses pulled out a syringe and , without performing any allergy test , grabbed Evelyn's arm and jabbed it in . She flinched as the needle pierced her skin , but the nurse held her down and jabbed deliberately again . And again . Until blood trickled from multiple wounds on her arm . " This is for hurting Ms. Hart . You deserve it . Now quit faking a few needle pricks aren't gonna kill you . Lie down and behave . " She spat out the words and left the room with a slam of the door . Evelyn sat motionless . Her arm burned , and her eyes reddened as she looked down . Dozens of needle marks ran along her skin , blood oozing in thin lines . She reached for the gauze on the table to stop the bleeding , but suddenly , her breathing turned erratic . Her chest tightened , as if a boulder was pressing down , and every inhale cut like a blade . An allergic reaction . Realizing it , she reached for the emergency call button and pressed it several times The nurses ' words echoed in her mind . " All the doctors were sent to Ms. Hart's room . " no one came . Her vision blurred . Darkness crept into the corners of her eyes , and it felt like an invisible hand was choking her . In desperation , she fumbled for her phone and , with the last of her strength , called Matthew . Beep ... beep ... Each ring was like a blade slicing into her . Finally , the call connected . But before she could say a word , she heard a soft click . The call was ended . Evelyn's hand slipped from the phone , which dropped to the floor . Chapter 4 3.17 % And just before she lost consciousness , she caught a glimpse of the words on the screen : Call Ended .
