Evangeline heard him, but her mind just went blank trying to piece them all together.

'Whatever,' she thought, 'I'll just have to trust Walter.' In her state, there was no way she could wrestle someone away from his clutches.

She pushed down the whirlwind of emotions inside her. Before she could get a word out, Walter's voice, laced with concern, reached her ears.

"Head back and get snow. I'll stay with Lydia. The second she's safe, you'll be the first to know." Just then, Wade, who had finished all the paperwork, crushing in. He barely had a moment to feel relieved when he spotted Walter, that jerk, getting too close for comfort. "Walter, back off!" Like a gust of wind, Wade was there, knocking Walter's hand from Evangeline's shoulder and pulling her to safety behind him.

He had already clashed with the Gordons over Evangeline, and Walter was no exception. No more playing nice.. Wade glared at Walter as he laid down the law. "Keep away from Ms. Evangeline, thanks." In the past, Evangeline might have tossed her head defiantly at Walter and strutted off, safe in Wade's guard. Walter had just tried to calm her down, his concern obviously genuine. If Evangeline kept doubting him, she would be the one doing wrong, repaying his kindness with suspicion. "Mr. Davis, you've got it all wrong." Evangeline nudged Wade, who stepped aside but kept his eyes locked on Walter, ready for anything sketchy.

"Walter, I'll leave Lydia to you." She could not help but think of Julia, who had once showered Walter with affection, and added with a hint of worry, "I'm counting on you to be worthy of my trust this time." With Wade by her side, Evangeline walked out of the hospital, her emotions a tangled mess.

She did not want to hand Lydia, the woman who had so much bad blood with her family, over to Walter. On the other hand, staying by Lydia's side felt like a betrayal to her own mother.

Torn, she had no choice but to leave when Walter offered to watch Lydia. Still, Evangeline could not shake off her doubts about him.

On the drive home, she told Wade to arrange for sbodyguards to keep an eye on Lydia from a distance. It was a smart move that would not alert Walter and would prevent Lydia from slipping away.

Troubled and fearing Lydia might die before justice was served, Evangeline tossed and turned all night. She finally drifted off at dawn, only to be jolted awake by a sudden noise. Evangeline blinked her eyes open, her vision still a blur, and spotted the looming figures of her uncles.

Uncle Holden, the one who always had something to say, was the first to notice she was awake. He elbowed his way past his brothers and m zoomed to her bedside, hi his face etched with worry. "Evie, did you get a good night's sleep? Feeling okay?" he asked. Meanwhile, Yale was already there with a breakfast tray that smelled amazing. Sandwiches, plain oatmeal, and slight veggies. "You must be starving, huh? I wasn't sure what
