"He has lost too much blood. We can't delay things any longer. You need to take him to the hospital for a blood transfusion right away."Jack was pleasantly surprised and quickly ran to drive the car.Gwen was relieved to hear that Kirk's operation was a success. "What the hell? You scared the shit out of us!""I didn't have a choice. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We wouldn't have been able to leave if Eddy was still around. Wasting time here is detrimental to Kirk's situation.""What about Carol?""She's fine. She was just shocked. She'll probably wake up by the time we get to the hospital. She'll definitely be fine when we tell her the good news then."Gwen nodded and looked at Sean, her gaze increasingly intense. However, Sean didn't notice it at all. Instead, he asked someone to carry Caroline down the mountain.When they got to the hospital, Kirk was already in the emergency room.By now, Eddy had also realized he had been tricked. Unfortunately, there was n
Gwen helped Sean to the car. Just as she was about to get up, he grabbed her wrist.She had no choice but to bend down and say, "Be good and let me go. I'll drive you home.""No," Sean said, his eyes closed. Gwen didn't know whether he simply had his eyes closed or was sleep talking. "You're a big liar. I can't let you go!"Gwen's heart had never melted this way before.She used to think that only men dressed in suits and ties were handsome. Right now, Sean still had some blood stains on his face that he hadn't wiped off. His clothes were also stinky because he spent all day in the mountains looking for Kirk and doing the surgery on his friend. However, he looked more handsome than ever. And his presence was like a shining light in her life."Do you like me that much?" Gwen kissed Sean's lips.Sean had already fallen asleep, but he still smiled at her actions.…Cheryl arrived outside Kirk's ward to see Caroline resting. She slowed her steps and waited at the door for a lon
Cheryl's smile brightened even more. On the other hand, Caroline was utterly bewildered and asked, "H-How did you do it?" Cheryl proceeded to tell her everything in detail. After listening to her explanation, Caroline exclaimed, "So, you're really the lost daughter of the Hackett family!" "Yes," Cheryl responded with a wry smile. "Caroline, don't you find it interesting?"Caroline held Cheryl's hand. For some reason, she understood how the latter was feeling at that moment.No matter how bad it was, one's life still belonged to that person. But suddenly, it shattered because of a change in identity. That was indeed a terrible feeling."Cheryl, I had my suspicions before. That's why I had Delilah conduct an investigation," said Caroline.She continued, "I wasn't sure about it then, so I didn't tell you. Who would have thought we would go through so much after that?""Caroline, I know you're worried I will be in a tough spot between the Hackett family and you," Cheryl bega
"You're awake!"Caroline was so excited that Kirk had regained consciousness that her speech became somewhat incoherent. "I-I'll get the doctor.""Hey, Caroline, just press the bell," Cheryl said."Let her go," Kirk remarked. Even though he was weak, his voice was laced with affection.Cheryl hummed in acknowledgment. She felt awkward and did not know what to say. After all, she had never been alone with Kirk."I heard everything just now," Kirk commented while looking at the ceiling. Upon hearing those words, Cheryl was shocked. It turned out that he had already been awake for quite some time. Yet, neither she nor Caroline had noticed it. "So, that means you're aware that Caroline has regained some of her memories," Cheryl responded. However, Kirk seemed unwilling to continue the topic. "Yeah. As for what you want to discuss with the Hackett family, other than making your return a condition, I suggest you bring up my condition. Also, let them know that I've acquired Mor
"Kirk, can you think about me the next time you want to do something dangerous? What would I do without you?"Kirk felt as though an invisible hand was gently holding his heart. He lowered his head to look at Caroline. She was nestled against his chest, weeping. At that moment, a faint smile played on his lips. To him, everything felt just right. It was like a dream. When Cheryl returned, she saw Kirk lying quietly on the bed. He had dozed off again, and Caroline had also fallen asleep on his chest. Cheryl thought the sight of them was picturesque. So, she quietly put the food down and left. After exiting the hospital, Cheryl's gaze grew increasingly determined. Right then, a car stopped beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Jack inside the car. Her solemn eyes instantly lit up with joy. "Why are you here?""I went to the office but couldn't find you. So, I figured you must be here," Jack said. He got out of the car to open the door. "Get in.""Aren't you going
The disbelief was evident in Jack's gaze. Yet, Cheryl nodded. His expression changed drastically upon seeing that. "So, y-you want to return to Hackett Residence now?"Cheryl nodded again. This time, Jack fell silent. Cheryl, on the other hand, chuckled. "What's with that face? Aren't you happy that I've found my family?"At that very moment, Jack felt a myriad of emotions. On one hand, he was delighted that Cheryl had found her family. But on the other hand …"Are you here to say goodbye then?" Cheryl could not help but burst into laughter. "Jack, are you telling me that you think I'm here today to sever ties with Caroline and bid goodbye to her?""Is that not what's happening?" Jack asked, scratching his head in confusion. Cheryl fixed her gaze on him, saying, "I used to think I'm quite the fool. But from the looks of it now, you're sillier than me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon Caroline for wealth?""No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just …
Kirk grabbed Caroline's hand. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" He looked down, his eyes landing on her bare feet. The arches of her feet were slightly raised. "Did you hurt your feet?" he asked. Caroline shook her head, but Kirk clearly didn't believe her. He rang the bell to call for a doctor. The doctor, who had come thinking that something had happened to Kirk, ended up examining Caroline instead. The doctor lifted her leg and was shocked. He exclaimed, "Miss, you've been walking around barefoot. Didn't you notice your feet are covered in wounds?" Caroline frowned in pain. "I didn't. It didn't hurt at all." It really hadn't hurt before, but after last night, it hurt like hell. If Kirk wasn't right there, Caroline would've burst into tears. What had happened? Her fatigue was gone, but the pain was getting worse!When the doctor told the nurse to apply the ointment, Caroline almost passed out. It hurt! It hurt so much!However, in front of Kirk, she didn't w
"Did he sign the agreement?" Kirk asked. Charles snapped out of his thoughts, nodding. "Yes, the moment they were saved, they signed it."The man was probably afraid that Eddy would threaten his family and children again in his anger, so he quickly sold his shares. In any case, the money he got from the shares would be more than enough for them for generations to come."However, even though the agreement was signed, SY Group has some difficulties from the significant loss of cash flow, plus …"Charles glanced at Kirk before saying, "Eddy must've known about this. He's trying to work with other companies to bring SY down." Kirk closed his eyes, not sure what to say.After a moment, he opened his eyes and replied calmly, "Sell SY." Charles thought he had misheard. "Surely you're joking, sir." "When have I ever joked with you?" Kirk stared at the ceiling, his tone heavy. "But, that's such a big decision …" "I've been thinking it over," Kirk replied indifferently. "From n
