When Cheryl arrived at the hospital and saw Caroline lying on the bed, she quickly asked Gwen for the whole story.

Gwen didn't know much about the situation either. She only knew that Eddy and Thomas had pulled some tricks.

"Caroline has learned about Kirk's identity," Gwen whispered, glancing toward the door.

Cheryl had seen Kirk when she had reached the ward. After hearing what Gwen said, she immediately understood why Kirk was waiting outside instead of coming in.

"Then—"

Gwen shook her head gently. "We're not sure about Carol's condition yet. Dr. Caldwell said that we won't know until she wakes up."

She said with a smile, "Alright, enough bad news. Let me tell you some good news instead."

"What is it?" Cheryl perked up when she heard that it was good news.

"Eddy is dead!"

"He's dead?" Sure enough, this was good news. Cheryl was excited to hear it.

"Yeah, and Kirk was the one who killed him. But I heard from Sean that even if Kirk hadn't shot Eddy, he wouldn't have surviv

    After entering the ward, Michael approached Caroline. He first checked Caroline's eyes and made sure everything was fine before saying, "Do you know who you are?"Caroline still stared at the ceiling in a daze and spoke robotically, "Caroline Evans." Everyone sighed in relief at her answer."Do you remember what your job is?""I'm Evans Group's CEO."Everyone was overjoyed once more.Michael pulled Gwen to his side. "What about her? Do you remember who she is?""Gwen."Michael then pulled Cheryl over, and Caroline told him who she was.However, her eyes were constantly fixed on the ceiling, and she behaved mechanically, as if she were an emotionless machine. This worried Gwen and Cheryl, who had been rejoicing just moments ago."Dr. Caldwell—" Gwen said, but Michael waved his hand to stop her. "We'll talk outside.""Okay."Then, they left the room.When Kirk saw them coming out, he approached them. However, Michael stopped him. He pointed his chin at a spot nearby and s

    Cheryl knew Gwen was speaking out of anger, so she didn't say much about it. Instead, she said, "Let's not talk about the Hacketts now. We should go in to see Caroline.""Yeah, you're right. You finally managed to get out, so we won't talk about that accursed family anymore. Let's ask Caroline if she wants to eat anything."They returned to the ward as they talked. Their hearts clenched again when they saw Caroline lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling."Carol, you must be hungry after being unconscious for days. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you," Gwen softly asked as she walked to the bed.Caroline was still staring at the ceiling. She didn't seem to have heard Gwen's question.Cheryl and Gwen looked at each other anxiously. Just as they were about to panic, Caroline replied, "I'm not hungry."Gwen was overjoyed to hear Caroline speak. Then, she persuaded, "That won't do. You haven't eaten for days. Why don't I go out and buy something you like?"Caroline still s

    "Why is he a Morrison? Gwen …" After seeing Caroline vent her emotions, Gwen and Cheryl weren't so worried anymore. They simply hugged her and let her pour out her grievances. When she was tired from crying, Gwen and Cheryl wiped her tears with tissues."It's okay, Carol. Let's not cry anymore. It's all over. It doesn't matter who Kirk is or whether Eddy is dead or alive. It's all in the past and has nothing to do with you. What you should do next is live your life."As Gwen spoke, she was about to cry again. "Carol, you had suffered so much for Eddy in your earlier years. Then, you met Kirk and finally had the chance to live a good life."Now, Eddy is gone. And as for Kirk, let's not deal with him for now and just focus on ourselves, okay?"Caroline nodded. "Okay. We won't worry about this. We'll just live our lives."Gwen finally gave a sincere smile when she saw Caroline calm down and not look as robotic as before. "First things first, you should eat. Can you do that?""Ye

    "I thought you would be angry with Kirk after learning that he's Eddy's second uncle. But I didn't expect you to refer to yourselves as an item so soon." Gwen looked into Caroline's eyes. "Carol, I know you don't actually hate him."Since Gwen had seen through her, Caroline stopped hiding how she felt. "I really can't bring myself to hate him, but I can't forgive what he did either. I can't just let go of everything and live happily with him. "But at this point, I have to put our grievances aside and work with Kirk to deal with Thomas."Gwen remembered the bodyguards who had been lying on the ground that night and nodded."So I don't want my issues with Kirk to affect our dealings with Thomas for now. I can make peace with him for the sake of the greater good. For the time being, both of us can just—"Gwen sighed. Then, she said to Cheryl with a smile, "Cheryl, do you think Carol is living such a hard life because of how mature she is?"Cheryl didn't answer, but she lowered

    Since Kirk was standing in front, he should be the first to go into the ward. But when he pushed the door open, he hesitated once more.Everyone's worried looks made him realize that whatever awaited him inside might not necessarily be good. And just like that, opening that door became a daunting task for him."You should go in," Sean urged him again. "You should take things as they come. Besides, Michael originally said that he had to observe her condition before you could see her. "But why are you hesitating when you can see her now?"Sean's words touched Kirk's heart. Now that Caroline had allowed him to see her, he could finally do so without worrying. His wish had come true, and nothing else mattered. At the thought of this, Kirk pushed the door open.When the door opened, Caroline raised her head and looked over at Kirk. When their eyes met, they felt a familiar spark between them. But soon, Caroline broke eye contact and looked out the window."Come in. Don't stand outs

    "That's right." Sean's voice pulled Caroline's attention away from that sorrowful gaze. "If Thomas doesn't want his huge family fortune to become somebody else's, he has to make another heir.""He needs at least 1 to 2 years to get another child. Do you think Thomas will slow down during this time?" Gwen asked worriedly."If it's just Thomas, we have nothing to worry about." Sean held his chin and said, "His goons are too powerful. It's fortunate that we're in Easton. If we had been in any other country, we would have died that night.""Where did those people come from?" Caroline asked.Sean glanced at Kirk. "Kirk, can we tell them?"Kirk's gaze landed on Caroline. Then, he tightly shut his eyes. "Yes.""Okay." After getting Kirk's permission, Sean no longer hesitated. He said, "Caroline, you remember the group of people you met at the short story competition, right?"Of course, Caroline remembered that. That was her first time getting caught in a large-scale gunfight."The rin

    "After learning that he had been disfigured, Finn went nuts. He even thought Kirk had started that fire just to kill him!" At the mention of this, Sean clenched his fists and punched the chair. "I've never seen such a heartless bastard in my life!"Seeing how furious Sean was, even as an outsider, Caroline looked over at Kirk. She couldn't help but think about how helpless and angry Kirk must have been at that time. Then, she frowned upon realizing she was unknowingly feeling sorry for him."What happened next?" she asked, trying to distract herself."Then …" Sean took a deep breath and said, "After the fire, Finn broke ties with Kirk's family. Moreover, he was very gifted in business, so he went on to take over Kirk's family's business."He was only 12 or 13 years old back then. Fortunately, he didn't get to celebrate for long once Kirk became an adult. The two of them were equally matched when it came to doing business. "But Finn probably has a gloomy personality and unfavo

    "You're right. The experts on the dark web, especially the top ones, are driven by curiosity. They are no longer interested in how much money they make. Even so, getting their help will be difficult," Sean agreed. "But don't act so glum. Kirk and I have friends who can help with this.""That's good." Gwen sighed in relief. "Without the help of some experts, there's nothing we can do but let Thomas beat us."Sean said, "Don't worry, Gwen. I'll protect both of us."Gwen blushed at his words. "A-As if I'm worried about you. I-I'm worried about Carol." She took Caroline's hand. "Thomas must really hate Carol now. If he knew she was here, he would definitely …" The more Gwen talked, the more worried she became."Don't worry. We need time to rest, and so does Thomas. We just need to get help while he recovers. Thomas wouldn't dare be brazen in Easton. "At most, his plan will be done on a small scale. If we can find some expert fighters, our problems will be solved.""So you two wi

    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
