Caleb froze on the spot.

He stiffly turned around, and he didn’t seem aware of the terror in his trembling voice. “Mrs. Wells… What do you mean by that?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone opened the door o my mom’s ward.
When David realized that Caleb was there as well, he walked right up to the latter.
Taking out his phone, David navigated to a certain video and pressed play.
He explained, “This is the surveillance recording from back then. Mrs. Wells asked me to retrieve it. She wanted me to help her figure out the truth behind the incident.”
Caleb was clueless as he watched the video, but the more he watched, the darker his expression became.
I leaned in for a look, and I quickly realized that it was a surveillance recording of the flood back then.
The recording was zoomed in, and it showed Eva letting go of her own accord when I tried to get her into the lifeboat.
She still had a gleeful smile on her face when the flood carried her away.
I felt pathetic when I watched the video. As it turned out, everything was just a show Eva had put on.
However, for the sake of this stupid show, I had gotten both me and my baby killed.
Caleb’s face turned completely pale, and he had a look of disbelief on his face.

Sighing, David said, “Ms. Wells never intended to abandon Ms. Lane. Instead, she was trying to save her…” Caleb trembled as he muttered, “How… How can this be? What would she gain from this? How could Evie gamble with her own life? Impossible… I can’t believe it…” 1

I smiled mockingly. Indeed, even if he learned the truth, it wouldn’t change anything.
Caleb would still choose to believe Eva.
As Caleb spoke, he staggered outside. He happened to bump into Eva, who was walking toward him.
Eva noticed Caleb’s pale face, but still, she complained, “Cal, the doctor said that I have to rest for a while. Won’t you stay with me and take care of me?”
Caleb glanced at her with a complicated gaze. He couldn’t stop thinking about what David had just said.
Eva was about to reach out and take his hand when Caleb coldly moved away from her.
He looked away. He could no longer treat Eva the way he used to.
“I’m busy, Evie… I’ll get back to you later,” he said.
