Evan decided to visit Daniella in the hospital after completing his tasks for the night. As he entered her ward, Daniella quickly sat up, a smile forming on her face."Evan, you're here!" she said happily.He responded flatly, "Lie down, you don’t need to get up."A flicker of disappointment flashed through Daniella's eyes when she realized he didn't come closer to her."I’m fine. I feel much better after a night of rest," she sighed. "Sorry for causing you trouble again yesterday."He furrowed his brows. "Don't go to her again. She's terrible. Please protect yourself."Daniella asked shyly, "Can I assume that you care about me?"Evan's eyes dimmed significantly. "There are certain things you can definitely avoid."Daniella's expression froze, not hearing the response she hoped for. But then, she noticed his tired and handsome face."Didn't you get a good rest last night, Evan?" she asked with affection.He responded curtly, devoid of emotion, "I'm going to go since you're fi
For the next three days, Lily would inform Evan about Caroline's refusal to eat every time he returned home. He had initially tolerated it, but at the end of three days, he had reached his limit.She was willing to trade her health to run away freely with another man?!With a grim expression, Evan made his way upstairs. After dismissing the bodyguard, he entered Caroline's room.The only source of light in the dark room came from the computer. He noticed Caroline curled up on the bed, peacefully asleep.As he approached her, he caught sight of two bottles of medicine on the side of the computer. His frown deepened when he picked them up and realized they were acute pain relievers, not the gastric medicine he expected. Opening the cap, he discovered that there wasn't much left.Putting the medicine aside, he walked closer to the bed and gently shook Caroline awake. "Get up!"Caroline, feeling dizzy from hunger, opened her eyes and saw his handsome face. She thought it was a halluc
Daniella's expression turned grim, and she immediately rose to her feet. "Fine. I understand."After Nic left, she took a shower and donned a robe before settling in the living room to make a phone call.When the call was connected, she demanded, "Put them on the line."As the door creaked open, her adoptive father's disapproving voice reached her ears. "Go away! I won't speak to her!"The watchman spoke, "You can speak now, Ms. Love."With a smile, she greeted, "Mom, Dad, it's been a while since I called. Seems like you've both developed quite a temper.""Shut your mouth! We never should have adopted you!" Her adoptive mother's voice was filled with anger."Don't be so harsh. I just want to know if you've reconsidered my proposal.""I’ve been an honest man my whole life! I can’t lie with my eyes wide open!" Her adoptive father declared firmly."What about you, mother? Do you share the same sentiment?" Daniella inquired after taking a sip of wine."My decision stands! Just le
"What were you thinking?!" The man's voice pierced through Caroline's thoughts, jolting her back to reality.She lifted her head, her expression filled with guilt. "I'm sorry. I couldn't react in time."Seeing her guilty look, Evan's anger seemed to dissolve, and he sighed. "Forget it, get in the car."Caroline nodded quietly and looked at the hospital from afar. Then, she followed him into the car.As the engine roared to life, she mumbled softly, "Thank you."Evan removed his dirty coat without acknowledging her gratitude. There was a flicker of irritation in his beautiful eyes as he wondered, 'I rushed out without thinking to save Caroline at the first sign of danger. What's wrong with me? My life is more valuable than hers!'"Who do you think you might have offended lately?" He asked coldly, his tone filled with a hint of suspicion.Caroline shook her head, her brows furrowing. "I don't know. Besides Mark, I can't think of anyone else I might have offended.""He's still bed
For the next two days, Caroline found herself accompanied by two bodyguards whenever she wanted to go to the hospital.Surprisingly, she didn't mind their presence as they were a constant reminder that the culprit responsible for her recent ordeal remained unknown.There was, however, one troublesome issue she faced - she couldn't go to the gynecologist for a pregnancy test. After careful consideration, she decided to reach out to her friend Paige for help. She swiftly sent a text, "Paige, can you help me with something?"Paige responded promptly, expressing her willingness to help. "Sure, what's up?"Caroline shared the details of her predicament and conveyed a rough idea of what she needed from Paige's support."Right now?" Paige asked."Yes, can you?""Of course. Meet at the hospital entrance at 10."Realizing it was already nine o'clock, Caroline quickly changed her clothes and headed out.When she arrived at the hospital, Paige glanced up and was taken aback by the pr
Daniella walked out through the fire exit after making that call, only to unexpectedly run into Caroline, who was waiting for the elevator.Daniella stood next to her and flashed a smile, hoping for some kind of acknowledgment. "What a coincidence, Ms. Shenton."Caroline simply ignored her presence.Unfazed by the cold reception, Daniella arrogantly crossed her arms and said, "I heard you haven't been feeling well. Should I take your place tomorrow and attend the event with Evan?"Carline continued to act oblivious to Daniella's words.After being ignored repeatedly, Daniella's humiliation grew.She waved her arms frustratedly and spoke with a lowered voice. "Why are you acting so proud, Caroline?"Caroline scoffed and glared at her. "You're breaking character just like that?"Frustration seeped through Daniella's clenched teeth. "I told you your good days would come to an end soon. I'll be with Evan tomorrow night!"Caroline looked at her, perplexed. "What's there to be happy
Caroline was reluctantly dragged over to Evan, all the while feeling lost and bewildered. She overheard Alex's words to Daniella. "Ms. Love, it's better to let Ms. Shenton handle this difficult task."Caroline couldn't comprehend why she had to be the one to undertake such an thankless responsibility.She glanced at Evan, who was now unconscious and drunk after a mere half-hour of drinking. She was secretly alarmed.How much had they made him drink?Daniella was taken aback. She hadn't expected Alex to bring Caroline into the picture.Suppressing the upset feelings, she forced a smile. "Mr. Price, allow me to take care of Evan. Ms. Shenton hasn't been feeling well lately, so let's not trouble her.""Ms. Love, there are certain things you should know when Evan drinks. Are you confident that you can handle it?" Alex inquired."Of course," Daniella replied confidently.Caroline was rendered speechless.She couldn't fathom why Alex insisted on her taking on this role.Evan and
Daniella opened the door and walked into the room in her heels.As she observed the man soundly asleep in bed, she discarded her clothes without hesitation, allowing them to fall carelessly onto the floor. She gingerly climbed into the bed, mindful not to disturb his slumber.She slept soundly until 7 a.m..Suddenly, Evan's eyes fluttered open from an upset tummy, his face contorted with discomfort. He frowned when he realized that he was in a hotel room."Mmph... Evan, you're awake?" Daniella's voice filled the air, carrying a hint of sleepiness as she gazed at him sheepishly.In that moment, a rush of memories from the previous night flooded Evan's mind. He recalled the ringing of the doorbell, his hazy consciousness as he stumbled towards the entrance, and pulling someone inside upon recognizing a familiar voice. He had mistaken Daniella for Caroline—his heart sank.Annoyed, Evan threw off the blanket and rose from the bed, his frustration evident on his handsome face.With
