The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1327

On the other end, a woman's voice lashed out, "Evelyn, you've got no shame! I can’t believe you’ve been fooling around with Bruce. You’re old enough to know better! Don't you know he’s got AIDS? If you've been with him this year, you’re definitely infected! What goes around comes around!"

The woman was Lucy.

She knew that Bruce had been arrested, and that Susan had found a folder Bruce kept, which documented every woman he'd been with, including dates and explicit details.

Lucy hadn't expected that two months ago, Evelyn had fallen into Bruce's bed!

Bruce had been diagnosed with AIDS three years ago. Although Lucy loved him, she hadn't been intimate with him for years.

Lucy's words struck Evelyn like a thunderclap, sending a bone-chilling numbness throughout her body.

All her vitality turned to dust.

Bruce had AIDS, and he had forced himself on her without taking any precautions.

So, it was certain that she was now infected.

It was a contagious disease, after all.

She thought about her adorable grandchildren; how she shared meals and playful moments with them every day.

What if she had passed it on to those little angels?

They were right. She was a sinner, tainted. If she were to die, she felt she should at least do so far away from everyone.

The faint-hearted scrambled back inside to hide, while the braver souls stood outside, watching the tragedy unfold, too shocked to immediately call for help.

After doing everything in his power to halt the truck, the driver was gasping, overwhelmed with horror.

Seeing the person he had hit motionless on the ground, he froze. It was his first accident in all his years on the road, and it had claimed a life.

His legs felt like jelly as he waited a few seconds before opening the door and stepping out.

He approached Evelyn, but at the sight of her condition, he couldn't bring himself to touch her. His hands trembling, he took out his phone and called the police and the ambulance immediately.

A woman from the card room, known for loving gossip but not for malice, saw the severity of Evelyn's accident and knew she was alone. She quickly dialed Thalassa's number. Evelyn was a regular at the card games, and sometimes Thalassa would stop by, so the woman knew how to reach her.
