Chapter 856

Although Colton stated that he wanted to marry Evelyn, his tone was so icy that it seemed more likely that he had

come to exact revenge.

At that moment, Jackson knitted his brows and parted his lips to say something but was interrupted by Siobhan.

"This is between you youngsters. Talk it out. We'll leave the ward." Then, she gently squeezed her husband's hand

and whispered, "Help me out of here, please."

However, he could not say what he intended, and he ultimately said nothing and pushed her out of the room.

When Gabriel overheard his mother's words while standing beside Rita, he helped the elderly to get up. Then, he

gently offered, "Let's go out and give them some space to talk, Granny."

Nevertheless, she glanced briefly at Evelyn before focusing on Colton as she felt uneasy. Then, Gabriel led the

elderly out of the room.

After they had left the ward, Evelyn and Colton were left alone, and he slid out a stool and sat down on it without

saying a word.

Meanwhile, she was still bedridden, her face ashen from excessive blood loss. After a while, she spoke slowly and

weakly, "C-Collie, do you mean what you said?"

"Yeah," Colton replied casually. Then, he curled his lips into a sneer as he looked at Evelyn and asked, "Isn't this

what you're hoping for?"

Her pale face immediately froze upon hearing that, and she laughed dryly while feigning ignorance. "That's not

what I mean. I thought that me being around would make life uncomfortable for you."

However, he was unfazed by her words and did not believe them. Then, he coldly responded, "Your wish has come

true. I agreed to marry you."

Evelyn was intimidated by the lack of expression on his face, but her joy at learning that Colton would marry her

outweighed her fear. Instinctively, her hands shot up to the blanket and tightened their hold. She mused, My

childhood dream has finally come true, and I will marry him! Afterward, she nodded bashfully, lowered her gaze,

and whispered, "Okay."

He then stood up and looked down at her. "Take care of yourself. My mom will discuss the wedding details with

Madam Gould when you recover."

Evelyn became dizzy and thought she was dreaming. He's really marrying me. Soon, she could not contain her

excitement and repeated, "Okay."

Hearing that, Colton did not say anything else as he turned around and left the ward.

When he opened the door and walked out, members of the Wrenn and Gould Families were waiting. So, he nodded

and politely greeted each of them before he informed them, "I've discussed it with Evelyn. This happened because

of me. I don't know who drugged me, and I tarnished her innocence. I've already discussed with my mom that I will

drop by the Wrenn Residence to propose after Evelyn recovers."

There was a hint of disbelief in Gabriel's eyes as he did not believe that Colton would compromise in such a manner.

Nevertheless, since his family members were around, he could only suppress the worry in his eyes without probing.

At that moment, Siobhan locked her gaze on Colton, but she could not turn him down when thoughts of her

daughter flooded her mind. So, she nodded and said, "Okay, but this is a monumental event in your lives. Please

give it some thought."

Suddenly, Colton's lip corners curled upward, and he said, "After all, Evelyn sacrificed her life to save mine. I will

certainly repay her. I can't escape my responsibilities, especially since this is all over the Internet."

After hearing that, her face lit up with pride. Even though she could tell he did not have feelings for her daughter,

she also saw that he was a responsible man from how he chose to deal with that situation.
