After a brief chat with Nolan Palmer, Evelyn finally said goodbye to her master.
"Eve, I will wait for your call..." Nolan patted her shoulder gently before turning away, leaving her with a comforting smile that eased the tension in her chest.
Axel then reached for her hand, guiding her toward his car parked not far from them.
But just as they were about to get in, Evelyn stopped him.
He asked gently, "What is it? You still need to do something?"
"Axel," she said softly, glancing back toward the other car parked a few meters away. "I need to talk to Stella and Alicia first. It won't take long."
Axel followed her gaze and saw her younger sister and stepmother waiting inside the car.
He nodded, though concern flickered in his eyes. "Alright. But don't take too long. The ambulance will arrive soon, and we should leave before things get crowded."
"I'll be quick," Evelyn promised, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze before walking toward Stella's car.
