After two days locked away , the door finally creaked open . Harsh white light spilled in , and Evelyn instinctively curled up , shrinking back into the corner . Brandon stood at the doorway , his brow furrowed . " What the hell happened ? " The doctor hesitated , about to speak - but Vanessa had already hurried in , her voice soft and sweet . " Brandon , she's suffered enough . Let's just take her home . " She reached out to help Evelyn up , but Evelyn jerked away violently . Her head hung low , messy hair shielding her face . A white bandage was wrapped around her right wrist , the gauze barely hiding angry red marks beneath . Brandon's gaze tightened . " It was only been two days . Why is she acting like she's been tortured ? " The doctor looked like he wanted to say something , but Vanessa was already looping her arm around Brandon's . " Her right hand's still injured . She must be in a lot of pain . " Brandon frowned , walked over , and reached out to touch Evelyn's hair , as if expecting her to melt under his hand like before . " Come on , Evelyn . Let's go home .

Nothing's happened between me and her . " Still , Evelyn said nothing . From the front passenger seat , Vanessa turned around and smiled sweetly . " Evelyn , would you come help me pick out a wedding dress later ? " Brandon frowned . " She's still healing . " " But she's been married before - she'll know what looks good , " Vanessa said , all wide - eyed innocence .

" Brandon , I love this one ! " Evelyn's head snapped up . Her chest tightened . It was her wedding dress . Her late mother , once a renowned bridal designer , had crafted this gown , her final masterpiece , by hand as a final gift for her daughter . There was only one in the world . After the wedding , Evelyn had stored it here for safekeeping because it was too precious to risk damage . " No , " Evelyn's voice trembled . " That gown belongs to me . ' Vanessa turned to Brandon with teary eyes . " But I really love it ... " Brandon was silent for a few seconds . Then , with a low voice , he said , " Evelyn , it's just a dress . Let her have it . " Evelyn stared at him in disbelief . " You know exactly what this means to me . " It was her mother's last gift - her only connection left . Brandon looked away , voice growing colder . " You can order a new one . Vanessa was already asking the assistant to help her try it on . Evelyn stood there frozen , her nails digging into her palms , blood seeping between her tingers , but she couldn't feel a thing . When Vanessa stepped out in the gown , the staff gasped .
