The answer was there before he even spoke up. My heart shattered as the truth set in. “Evie, your Nana wouldn't want to be kept alive. This is something she and I discussed a lot,” he said in a soft tone. I shook my head. He was the only hope I had and he was letting me down.
“No,” I said. “You have to Nate, you can give her more than that.”
“Evie,” Carter said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged him off, feeling the need to confront Nathan.
“It's her money, isn't it? You want her money too,” I accused Nathan despite the hurt that formed in his eyes.
“Evelyn,” he said cautiously. “Evie, it's not that. She wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive this way, you know her better than everyone here, and you know this.” He sounded almost desperate for me to believe him but I couldn't. The pain was clouding my thoughts as what I had learned about him.
“Liar,” I hissed, fisting my hands at my sides. “All of you are just selfish liars.”
“Do not make a scene,” my mom said, forcing a smile at the passersby.
I snorted, shaking my head as I took a step back.
“How's this for a scene?” I said, raising my middle finger and yelling loud enough for the whole lobby to hear. “Fuck you.”
With that, I turned around and walked away.
