Meanwhile, in the hospital, Gwen looked at Sean worriedly. "How could this happen? Everyone is back, but now Kirk is the only one missing. What about Carol?"Sean gently hugged Gwen. "Don't panic, Gwen. I've already asked the Shadowers to look for him. I'm sure it won't be long before Kirk returns."Gwen could see the worry in his eyes. There was no way he could convince her when he himself was so anxious.However, she held back her thoughts and said, "All right, you should look for him. Be careful. You have to bring Kirk back here safe and sound. "I'm worried that Carol's condition will be aggravated if she doesn't see Kirk when she wakes up. She can't take any more surprises.""Yeah. I'll leave Caroline to you."After Sean said that, he and Charles set off to look for Kirk. Neither of them noticed Caroline's eyelids moving when they talked about Kirk.Caroline, who was in a coma, wasn't completely unconscious at the moment. Her mind was still in overdrive. She could feel ev
The nurse replied, "Dr. Rivera would like to see you." Abel Rivera is Caroline's attending physician. When Gwen heard he was looking for her, she immediately answered, "All right. I'll be there right away."Having said that, Gwen followed the nurse to Abel's office. Just as she left, a tall figure appeared at the door. The visitor opened the door and approached Caroline.When he saw Caroline lying on the bed, the visitor took off his mask. If Caroline could open her eyes, she would see Eddy right before her.However, she didn't need to open her eyes to know who it was because Eddy had already started talking. "I'm here to see you, Caroline."Caroline felt sick just hearing Eddy's voice. She wanted to kick him out, but she couldn't."I wonder if you can hear me.""Yes, so get the hell out of here!" she said in her heart."If you can hear me, I must share some good news. Of course, this good news of mine will be bad news for you."Speaking of this, Eddy laughed joyfully.Car
At this moment, Gwen pushed open the door. When she saw Eddy leaning over Caroline, she angrily picked up the broom next to the door and hit Eddy with it. "Eddy! What are you doing, you pervert?"Eddy had just felt the shock of seeing Caroline awake and her punching him. He felt even angrier after getting hit in the back by Gwen. He grabbed the broom in her hand and was about to hit her back when an equally furious individual rushed over in her defense. "Eddy, what the hell are you doing?" Caroline stood in front of Gwen, disregarding how weak she felt right now. She glared coldly at Eddy. "What's wrong? You didn't get my kidney, so you're bullying my friends now?"Eddy was stunned.However, Gwen didn't notice what Caroline had said because she was preoccupied by the fact that her friend had woken up. "Carol, you're awake! This is great! You have no idea—"Eddy coldly interrupted Gwen's rejoicing. "Have you remembered everything?"His tone wasn't just cold and frosty. Ther
"Tell her to rest in the hospital. After we find Kirk, we'll bring him back to see her right away."Gwen helplessly held her head in her hand. "You clearly know that they're equally stubborn. Do you think she'll agree to stay put?" Sean sighed. "All right. In that case, I'll just let her come over."Gwen hesitated for a moment. That was why she didn't tell Sean she wanted to go too. In fact, just like Caroline was worried about Kirk, she was also concerned about Sean.However, she couldn't say it out loud. She felt that if she did, their relationship would move one step further. Actually, she believed that things between them were now …Gwen sighed in puzzlement. What on earth was she thinking?"What did he say?" Caroline asked, unable to wait any longer.GWen snapped out of her thoughts and replied, "Oh, Sean said he will send someone to pick you up immediately. Carol, you should come with me to see the doctor for a check-up until they get here. "Just now, Abel had called
"Caroline, the terrain here is incredibly complicated. This is our first time here, so we're unfamiliar with this place. It's better for you to wait here.""I won't cause trouble for any of you." Caroline looked at those people and said, "The more people we have, the more ground we'll cover. Sean, please let me help."Sean was shocked to see the look in Caroline's eyes. He got a familiar feeling. But looking at Caroline again, he thought she was more or less the same as before.He was about to dissuade Caroline some more when Gwen said, "Just let Carol go, Sean. You can get someone to follow her, and things will be fine.""But—"Gwen knew what Sean was worried about. "Now that Kirk is missing, I know you feel obliged to take care of Carol on his behalf. But having Caroline wait here isn't the solution. "Besides, you can just send someone to watch her. If you're still worried, I'll go with her!"Sean was silent.Upon seeing his silence, Caroline called Jack over and said, "Jack
"I remember lots of other things …"Jack was so excited that he was incoherent. "Sir—Mr. Kirk will be overjoyed when he finds out you have regained your memories!"This was exactly what Kirk had been waiting for. Right now, Caroline didn't have any memories of Jude dying for her, nor did she remember Kirk's true identity.Everything was back to how it had been when Kirk and Caroline had been head over heels with each other without any obstacles."Ms. Evans, let's find him quickly!" Jack said.Kirk would definitely be happy to know about this!Caroline glanced at Jack, as if she could tell what he was thinking. "All right! Let's find him together! I really want to tell him I've regained my memories. He doesn't need to be so restrained around me anymore!"Jack nodded profusely at her words. And so, they searched the area even more thoroughly. Unfortunately, after searching the entire small forest, Kirk was still nowhere to be seen.Caroline didn't give up and continued to sea
At this time, Eddy, who saw this from a distance, felt his heart drop. When he had learned that Kirk had jumped into the river, he had asked Simon to follow Kirk's men.Seeing that they hadn't found him after a day and how he had embarrassed himself at the hospital, Eddy had driven over to the river. He hadn't expected to see Caroline there. Worse, he had never expected Caroline to fall into the river as well.It was as if God was playing tricks on him. He had just celebrated that Kirk had fallen into the river, and now Caroline was about to fall in, too.Just as he was about to rush over in desperation to help, he was stunned by what he saw once more.Caroline didn't even grab a tree branch. Instead, she grabbed a person's arm.Sure enough, after the initial panic, Caroline realized she wasn't holding a branch but an arm. Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to see that the arm belonged to Kirk. However, he was hidden in the grass, his face pale.Caroline panicked. She wan
After giving it another glance, Jack realized he was looking at Kirk. He was so excited that he darted around several times before running to get help.Caroline looked at Kirk, who was lying pale on the grass. She didn't dare to give first aid carelessly. She could only wait impatiently for the rescue team to arrive. Soon, Sean rushed over with a doctor. The doctor quickly gave Kirk first aid, while Caroline watched him nervously from the side.When Gwen saw her friend like this, she quickly came over and hugged Caroline's trembling body. She said, "Don't worry. Good things will happen to good people. He'll be fine!"Caroline gently held Gwen's hand, and her body stopped trembling too much.Soon, the doctor leading the team turned to Sean and said, "Dr. Yates, the patient has a lot of water in his lungs. We need to take him to the hospital for surgery immediately, or his life will be in danger!"Sean nodded. "Okay! I'll make arrangements immediately!"This area was secluded, an
Soon, Kirk and Caroline met up with Thomas. When he saw the two of them, his eyes turned bloodshot from the rage boiling within him. "You won!" He spat with so much force that it seemed like he had used up all his strength for it. "Things didn't have to come to this," Kirk said calmly as he sat down beside Thomas. Thomas snorted derisively. "Oh really? If you hadn't chosen to marry Caroline at such short notice, do you think Eddy would have died? You two were the cause of the tragedy!" Caroline didn't feel like talking anymore after seeing how foolishly adamant Thomas was. She gave Kirk a look, and he hummed in acknowledgment. When he turned to face Thomas again, his eyes were frosty "I'm here to tell you something," he said.Thomas let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why? What else do you have to tell me, huh? Are you going to tell me that you have a child now?" "It's not about me and Caroline's child. It's about yours," Kirk stated plainly as he stared at Thomas
"Yes, it's true! Why would I lie to you about something so important?" Betty said. "This is wonderful! Marietta's wish has finally come true." Caroline turned to look at Marietta, who had just stopped by the door. Marietta was so shocked by the results that she was too stunned to speak. All she did was stare at Caroline in silence. Caroline opened her lips to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. She and Marietta stood facing each other, tears streaming down their cheeks. The next second, the two of them rushed toward each other and hugged each other as tightly as they could. The words that were at the tip of their tongues turned into tears at this significant moment. The others felt touched as they witnessed the mother-daughter duo's reunion. After some time, Betty broke the silence. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her 'Mom'!"Caroline had once used that word to address Marietta, but she hadn't known that Marietta was her biological mother back then.
Blushing, Caroline nodded. However, Kirk couldn't lift his head due to his injuries. So, Caroline took the initiative to bend over so that she was closer to him. Their lips touched. Yet before Caroline could get that warm, fuzzy feeling she always had when they kissed, she heard Gwen's voice. "Oh? Did we come at the wrong time?" Gwen grinned.It gave Caroline such a shock that she almost fell to the ground. Cheryl reacted quickly and gave Caroline an arm to hold on to for support. Steadying herself, Caroline stared daggers at Gwen, who giggled and placed the supplements she had brought on a table. Sean and Kirk started discussing what had happened that day, while Caroline led Gwen and Cheryl out of the ward. "Are you two back together?" Gwen asked. There was a sparkle in her eyes, which said enough about how eager she was to gossip. When Caroline nodded, Gwen patted her back gleefully and said, "Great! We all know how much Kirk loves you, even though he kept his ident
As Caroline mentally prepared to face death, there was a sudden, loud commotion. The noise was followed by gusts of wind that were so strong that no one could pry their eyes open to see what was going on. Still, Caroline could make out the silhouette of a helicopter above her. She had no idea what had happened next, though. …When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed in a ward. Beside her were Betty and Marietta, their eyes red and puffy from crying. When they noticed that Caroline was awake, the two of them shot up from their chairs."Carrie? You're finally awake!" Still groggy, Caroline forced herself to hum in response. After getting up, she grabbed Betty's hand and said, "Where's Kirk?" "He's fine," said Betty while wiping the tears off her cheeks. "He's in another ward, but he hasn't woken up yet." "Can I see him?" Caroline asked, tearing up. Betty nodded and asked Sean to push Caroline's wheelchair to the ward next door. Caroline couldn't hold back her
Kirk and Caroline hadn't even caught their breaths yet when they sensed a more intense attack coming their way. It didn't seem like these people were human. They seemed like monsters, bringing destruction wherever they went. Caroline watched the situation outside in concern. "Why hasn't Nightshade come back yet? Did he lie to us?" she asked. Kirk gritted his teeth and replied, "No, he wouldn't. They're all people from the dark web, and they're all honorable. Since he promised to bring the top two assassins, he'll definitely come back."As he spoke, he pushed her into a car. "But before that, you have to leave first," he insisted.Caroline noticed that his words were only directed at her. She grabbed his hand tightly. "What do you mean by that?"What did he mean she had to leave first?He replied, "Finn has sent over all his trump cards. If you don't leave, I have no doubt that he'll come here too. So, you need to leave now!" Caroline grabbed his hand. "We haven't gone to Ci
When she saw his reaction, Caroline couldn't help but smile. "What I mean is, let's head to City Hall to re-register our marriage certificate. The information we used to register our marriage before was all fake. "Can we update it with the real information now?"Kirk brightened up. "No problem."She looked at him and smiled again. However, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Oh, I forgot about Thomas. Do you think he'll send someone to ambush us when we go to City Hall?"Kirk fell silent. He didn't want to change the plans, but he still said, "Then, let's wait for Nightshade to find the assassins—"Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out from downstairs. His face dropped, and he rushed to the window, where he saw two groups of people engaged in a gunfight. One of the groups was Thomas' men."What's going on?" Caroline asked as she got up from bed."Thomas must have found out that Nightshade left, so he took the chance to ambush us."Kirk led her to a
"If you make up with Kirk, I'll help you find them both."Caroline and Kirk were stunned to hear Nightshade's condition. Kirk had never expected Nightshade to say such a thing. Caroline was also in disbelief. She felt somewhat reluctant to agree to it."You don't agree?" Nightshade asked when Caroline remained silent. "Alright then, if you disagree, I won't look for them. Besides, Thomas is already planning to go all out against you. "When the time comes, I can escape. But what about you two?"Caroline looked at Kirk. "Thomas plans to go all out against us? You're not lying to me?"Kirk met her eyes and gulped. "No."She pondered for a moment, then looked at Nightshade again. "Do you really have a way to help us find the two assassins?""Of course.""Okay." Caroline lowered her head. "As long as you can help us find those two assassins, I'll agree to your condition."On the other side of the room, Betty and Marietta exclaimed excitedly when they heard her words. "Carrie, do
When Betty noticed how confused everyone looked, she said, "Oh, dear. Did you all forget?"Back then, when Marietta did the DNA test with that girl from the Hackett family—no, the fake Ms. Hackett—Caroline was the one who went to the restaurant with her."She continued, "Didn't we look through the footage from that day? Then, we called in the people who were at the restaurant that day to do another DNA test."Although they had unfortunately been unable to find Marietta's daughter, Betty still considered it a great effort. "We had thought that we had tested everyone. But there was someone who we didn't test!" Betty's eyes lit up as she looked at Caroline. Marietta immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Caroline with excitement, but she didn't dare to get her hopes up. "Caroline…"Caroline also looked at Marietta excitedly. "I… Aunt Mary… this… Is it possible?"Betty replied, "Why wouldn't it be possible? We tested so many people back then, and you were the only
Sarah was about to tell Caroline, but Dan stopped her."Don't tell her. Let her live in pain without ever knowing who her real parents are. Besides, do you really think she will get us the best lawyer?"Caroline wasn't upset that they hadn't taken the bait. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face. "You still have some sanity left."Upon realizing her trick, Sarah shouted angrily, "You liar!"However, she was taken away before she could shout more. Caroline watched as Sarah and Dan disappeared in the police cars. The feigned strength on her face finally disappeared. She might never find her parents in this life. But she didn't regret it. She tilted her head and glanced at Kirk, Cheryl, and Jack beside her. She had no regrets anymore.Even though she couldn't get her parents back, she was content that she had so many friends."Let's head back." Caroline's voice was weary. She needed a good rest, but there was still a tough battle waiting for her. The news about Caroline n
