Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 271

He didn't answer her call. He didn't ask what was wrong. There was only a single, brief text: "I'm in a meeting."

Melissa found it laughable. She didn't consider herself someone who liked to bother others. Since getting together with Evan, she had always done everything she could on her own, making sure never to trouble him. It was because of their unequal status, because she knew she already owed him so much, that Melissa was always careful not to cause him any problems.

But why? Now, when she needed him most, all he could say was that he was in a meeting? Not even a hint of concern or a single question?

Emma finished her chemotherapy for the day and, after getting her test results, went straight to the elevators to go home.

While waiting, she happened to glance aside and saw a girl huddled in the corner, clutching her phone, looking utterly devastated.

Melissa was crouched down, staring at her phone with an expression of complete disbelief. She looked pale, and her whole body was trembling. Emma didn't know what had happened, but seeing her state, she guessed something terrible must have occurred.

But she only gave a fleeting glance before looking away. While she didn't hate Melissa, it didn't mean she could comfort her without any reservations in a situation like this.

The elevator numbers climbed steadily until they stopped at "15." With a soft chime, the doors opened, and Emma walked in, holding her bag with composure.
