Chapter 315
Trapped in Love
Chapter 315 Calm Down Evan blinked and croaked out. âItâs late. Go wash up and sleep.â
Axel hesitated, not wanting to bother Evan. He pursed his lips in concern, nodded, and headed upstairs.
After washing up and returning to his room, Axel sat in front of the computer to review the surveillance footage from downstairs.
Meanwhile, Evan calmly sipped wine in the lounge, glass after glass. His forehead still bore a bloody mark, and his expression was hostile.
Axelâs worry deepened. He had seen his father drink before, but this time was different. Evan was drinking with a body covered in injuries.
Was something terrible happening?
Both of his parents seemed to be harboring unusual emotions.
However, Axel had a gut feeling that Caroline wouldnât harm Evan.
Thus, he swiftly accessed the cafeâs surveillance system and adjusted the footage to noon.
To his shock, he witnessed Evan violently assaulting Casey.
His eyes remained fixed on the disturbing scene when suddenly, a frantic cry pierced the silence.
downstairs.
âSir! Wake up!â
Startled, Axel leaped out of his chair and rushed downstairs Once Axel saw Evan unconscious on the floor, his face turned pale.
He anxiously asked the maid, âWhatâs going on?â
The worried maid replied, âMr. Jordan Jr., Mr. Jordan fainted due to a high fever!â
Axel clenched his lips, trying to stay composed. âFetch the family doctor.â
âOf course, right away.â
âWait.â
Unexpectedly, Evan spoke up and unsteadily rose from the floor.
âNo need for a doctor. Just leave me alone!â He then turned to Axel and commanded, âGo back to bed!â
Axel mustered his courage to protest, âYou need to see the doctor!â
The maid also attempted to persuade Evan. âSir, perhaps you should go to the hospital instead.â
Evan lost his patience and shouted, âTake him back to his room!â
Axel clenched his fists. Seeing this, the maid immediately offered, âMr. Jordan Jr., let me escort you upstairs, okay?â
Helplessly and sadly, Axel turned to leave when he noticed Evanâs cold and tense expression.
Back in his room, he continued watching the surveillance footage.
Seeing Evan back on the sofa and drinking more wine, Axel decided to call Caroline.
His mother was his only hope because he couldnât bear to watch his father harm himself any longer.
When Axelâs call came in, Caroline had just finished tucking the two children into bed.
She picked up the phone and asked, âAxel, whatâs wrong?â
Axel clutched his clothes and stammered, âMommy, I need your help.â
Carolineâs heart skipped a beat as she sensed the urgency in Axelâs voice. âWhat happened? Tell me.â
âDaddy is hurt. His forehead is bleeding, and he has a high fever. But he wonât listen and refuses to see the doctor.â
âIs it serious?â Caroline asked with growing concern âYes,â Axel replied Upon hearing the distress in her sonâs voice, Carolineâs heart ached She knew Draco was responsible for Evanâs condition.
She took a deep breath and reassured Axel, âAlright, stay calm. Iâm on my way.â
âOkay.â
After ending the call, Caroline hurried to Villa Rosa with Freyn.
Axel was waiting in the living room and pointed toward the lounge.
Caroline nodded, approached the living room, and told Axel, âGo to bed. Let me handle this.â
Axel lowered his head, feeling guilty. âIâm sorry, Memmy. I didnât know what else to do.â
Caroline gently ruffled his hair. Itâs okay. Just go.â
With Axel upstairs, Caroline braced herself and entered the living room.
Inside, she was greeted by the overpowering scent of wine and smoke. She spotted Evan sitting on the sofa, his face pale and his eyes closed.
Caroline immediately instructed Freya, âPlease check his temperature and prescribe some medicine.â
