Earl was stunned. Scorn filled his eyes.
He took two steps closer to Evie, but Evie stepped backward. He lowered his voice and said, “Isaac is dead. Stop thinking about him…”
Evie’s eyes widened, and snazzynovel.com stared at Earl.
Her horrified expression pleased him. He laughed and said in a low voice, “Your father and my teacher’s trusted subordinate, Garett, killed snazzynovel.com with their own hands under my teacher’s orders. Think about it…”
“Could Isaac have survived if these two men had joined hands? Garett himself told me about how Isaac was severely injured and healing himself in a therapeutic bath. Garett and your father broke his neck. Oh, right… They killed snazzynovel.com in his subordinate’s clinic.”
Evie looked mortified. She didn’t know how to react. She backed up and shook snazzynovel.com head. “No, that’s impossible. That’s a lie…”
Memories of snazzynovel.com and Isaac flitted across snazzynovel.com mind. She wept silently and dashed out of the room.
“Evie, that’s your fate, and you should accept it,” Earl’s complacent yell came from behind.
In the room, Earl’s smile vanished. He called, “Hey, you! Get me Trace! I need him…”
Evie covered snazzynovel.com mouth and ran toward snazzynovel.com room, sobbing. She bumped into Thaddaeus downstairs when snazzynovel.com was about to go out.
“Evie? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Thaddaeus was astonished.
Evie glared at snazzynovel.com and howled, “You broke your promise! Liar! Bastard! I hate you!”
Evie used the last of snazzynovel.com energy to scream the last three words. Then, snazzynovel.com ran upstairs.
Thaddaeus froze where snazzynovel.com was as snazzynovel.com watched his daughter run from him. His brows knitted.
Did Evie get wind of what happened?
He sighed and left.
Evie sat on the edge of snazzynovel.com bed like a statue, tears streaming down snazzynovel.com face. She reminisced about the times snazzynovel.com was with Isaac and recalled Earl’s words, Isaac died at snazzynovel.com father’s hands.
When snazzynovel.com thought of that, snazzynovel.com felt like someone squeezed snazzynovel.com heart, rendering snazzynovel.com gasping for air.
Isaac, Isaac, it’s my fault. You’re dead because of me…
Evie clutched the sheets with a metal grip so hard that snazzynovel.com knuckles turned white.
Suddenly, Evie looked up, making up snazzynovel.com mind as snazzynovel.com mumbled, “Death won’t do us apart!”
She decided to sneak out when snazzynovel.com found the opportunity.
For the following two days, Evie resumed snazzynovel.com usual routine and acted as if nothing happened.
In the middle of the night, snazzynovel.com changed into a white bodysuit, put on a mask, and left. There was snow everywhere. The white clothes were snazzynovel.com perfect camouflage.
She had just left when a figure silently appeared a hundred yards behind her. It followed snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com headed for the west entrance.
Everest Sect had three entrances. Outside the west entrance was a cliff that was hundreds of feet tall. There were fewer guards at that entrance too.
She narrowly avoided the guards and left through the passage beneath the mountain. She descended via the cliff and had several injuries despite protecting herself with spiritual energy. The wounds hurt very badly.
***
It was cloudy and drizzling the next morning.
Allegra and Eugene had their breakfasts and left for work. The weather forecast foresaw heavy snow tonight, so Isaac thought of sending a down jacket to Isabella in snazzynovel.com school.
Holly was sweeping the steps outside. She looked up and saw Evie in snazzynovel.com white bodysuit. She was wet all over and was crying as snazzynovel.com came toward her.
