"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
Her fake adoptive father mustered a strained smile and said, "Hi, Daniella. Please, have a seat."Her fake adoptive mother glanced at Evan and deliberately inquired, "And who might this be, Daniella?"Daniella blushed shyly. "Mom, this is Evan, the person I've told you so much about."Her adoptive mother appeared stunned, but she nodded in acknowledgement. "Ah, so this is Mr. Jordan. Please, join us."Evan sat down, his dark eyes fixed on the couple who seemed to have appeared out of thin air. They poured him water and engaged in casual conversation.Barely had they settled in their seats when the waiter arrived to serve the food."Daniella, Mr. Jordan seems like a reliable man. We are relieved that you've found someone like him," her adoptive father commented."Yes, indeed!" her adoptive mother chimed in, her gaze shifting towards Evan. "Mr. Jordan, when do you plan to make your relationship with Daniella official?"Evan wiped his hands slowly with a napkin, his tone distant a
Katie stood frozen, her anger still palpable as she struggled to catch her breath. "Impossible! You're slandering her! I can sue you for this!" she exclaimed.Daniella feigned anger as she rose from her seat. "If you don't believe me, call her, Mrs. Shenton! That's all I have to say. Please ask Caroline to know her place!" With that, she left the ward, walking away confidently in her heels.Meanwhile, Katie couldn't shake off Daniella's words, feeling increasingly anxious. The doubt and anger inside her grew stronger, compelling her to reach out to Caroline.Meanwhile, in the intimate confines of the room at Villa Rosa, Caroline heard her phone buzzing and glanced toward the bedside table.She lightly tapped Evan's chest. "Someone is… mmph…"Before she could complete her sentence, he leaned in and kissed her lips, diverting her attention.She could only ignore her phone.Much later when they were done, she hurriedly left the bed and made her way to the bathroom while clutching h
"Quick! Step aside. She might have HIV!""How shameless! She did it for money and status. How fucking shameless!""Get lost! Get the hell out of here!" Suddenly, desperate screams echoed from the ward. It was Katie's voice.Caroline regained her composure and swiftly pushed through the crowd, making her way into the chaotic ward.The floor was a mess, and there were shattered glass scattered everywhere.The sight made Caroline struggle to breathe. Even swallowing felt unusually difficult. Her eyes fell upon Katie, sitting on the hospital bed, looking pale and struggling to catch her breath.Tears welled up in Caroline's eyes as she choked out, "Mom...""Don't call me that!" Katie roared fiercely.Caroline's entire body trembled, and she sobbed, trying to reason with her mother, "Mom, please don't be angry. Let me explain, okay?"Through tear-filled eyes, Katie pointed an accusing finger at Caroline, her voice filled with hurt and disbelief, "Why would you do that? Why?"Car
