Chapter 713 Can You Take Me Inside?
When the passenger window of the car was lowered halfway, a good-looking face was revealed. Despite the dim streetlight, Eva could still recognize who he was.
Stunned for a few seconds, she hurriedly over in her high heels and grew certain that it was him when she got nearer.
“Ryan.”
With a trembling voice, she called out his name.
The man inside the car slowly curled his lips into a smile, “Hi, Eva.”
As she had not heard him call out her name for a long time, Eva’s eyes turned red suddenly, “What brings you here?”
These few days, she had tried to call him, but he either switched off his phone or did not pick up her calls. She also tried to look for him in the Imperial Capital, but he refused to see her.
Doing so, he seemed to be wanting to sever ties with them, so much so that he no longer recognized her as his sister…
She thought that she would lose him for good and did not expect

to see him showing up on the day James proposed to Amelia.

Eva wondered if Ryan had been following their news, although he
never came to bother them.
Ryan extended his fingers to catch the snowflakes outside, and his clear eyes were filled with melancholy.
After staring at the snowflakes for a while, he replied, “I was passing by as I saw the nice view here, so I stopped to take a
look.”
“Passing by?” Eva wondered inwardly, “Who would pass by a place so far away from the city and has just been developed not long ago?”
Eva did not believe him but chose not to expose his lie. With her eyes red-rimmed, she asked, “I heard you’re getting engaged to the eldest daughter of the Simpson family?”
Ryan touched the melting snowflakes in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up bitterly, “Yes, I am…”.
The smile on his face was forced and devoid of any joy, and Eva felt bad for him, “You’re not doing this just so that Amelia would choose to be with James, aren’t you?”
Ryan shook his head slightly and dropped his bitter smile, trying to look casual, “I’m doing this for myself.”

Seeing him so, Eva was unable to tell what he was thinking and
could only choose to believe him, “I wish you happiness then.”
Ryan clenched his hand slightly and lowered his gaze in anguish.
“Eva, I’ll never be happy again…” He wanted to tell her.
He looked at Jmissa through the windshield, and his gloomy eyes gradually turned red, “Can you take me inside to have a look?”
Eva followed his line of sight and looked in the direction of Jmissa. Thinking that bringing him inside would upset him, she wanted to refuse, but Ryan said, “I just saw him carry her out from inside, and they were wearing happy smiles.”
He looked at Eva with a smile, “I wanted to take a look inside. Perhaps I could come out happily as well.”
Knowing that Ryan was still hung up on Amelia, Eva was unable to hold back her tears.
With tears in her eyes, she nodded, “Okay, I’ll bring you inside.”
Ryan replied politely, “Sorry to trouble you.”
Eva turned away to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The three of them had depended on each other since childhood, but they had become like strangers, so much so that she felt they might not meet again for the rest of their lives…

Getting out from the back seat, Zoey took out the wheelchair from the trunk, then opened the car door, carried Ryan out of the car, and put him in the wheelchair.
Seeing that he had to rely on someone else to move around, Eva could not stop shedding tears, “Ryan, could your legs be cured?”
“He’s a prideful person. Is he going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?” Eva couldn’t accept such a truth.
Ryan nonchalantly touched his unfeeling legs, “No, but it’s okay. I’m used to it now.”
Eva cried and wanted to say something, but he took the umbrella from Zoey and handed it to her. “Eva, life is unpredictable, and I’ve achieved more than enough. Losing my legs is not a big deal, so please don’t feel sorry for me.”
His calmness made Eva feel even worse, but she suppressed her sadness and reached out to take the umbrella.
Eva was unable to push the wheelchair in the snow, so she let Zoey do it while she shielded Ryan from the snow with the umbrella.
