StartNovelChapter 358:
Seeing Evelyn's face turn beet red from Belinda’s comments, Kristopher frowned and gave Belinda a cautionary
look. “Say less.”
Belinda shrugged her shoulders and fell silent. It was, after all, Evelyn's house. She recognized the need for
restraint.
“Avery.”
After quieting Belinda, Kristopher offered a few comforting words to Evelyn before turning his attention to Avery.
“You mentioned a change in the basement, that Cathy's sister isn’t well?”
His keen gaze fixed on Avery, reading every shift in her expression and emotion. “Hasn't she passed away
already?”
Avery's face drained of color.
“Kristopher, you misunderstood!”
Before Avery could respond, Evelyn stepped forward with a reassuring smile, positioning herself in front of Avery.
“Avery was referring to Cathy, not her sister.”
Then, turning her head, she shot a stern look at Avery. “Since Cathy has woken up, shouldn't you be calling her

Relieved, Avery quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, I'll go and ask Cathy to cdown to meet the guests...”
She hurried off, her pace brisk as if escaping a threat. “Cathy...”
After Avery's departure, Evelyn cautiously watched Kristopher from the corner of her eye, worried he might
suspect something. “I thought she would sleep a bit longer; | didn’t expect her to wake up so soon.” As she
spoke, she added, “Ever since she fell ill, her sleep has been sporadic. It truly distressesas a mother.”
Kristopher regarded Evelyn impassively, his expression unreadable. “Cathy lives in the basement?”
Though he might have misheard the name, the words “the basement” were unmistakable. His question caused
Evelyn's heart to drop. No matter how much she tried to disguise the truth, Kristopher had clearly heard it...

“Mrs. Miller?”
A hint of suspicion flickered in Kristopher’s eyes as he observed her quiet demeanor.
Realizing she could no longer keep her secret, panic glinted in Evelyn's eyes. Her fingers nervously twisted
within her sleeves, but she quickly composed herself, projecting the calm grace expected of a lady of her
stature.
