Meanwhile, Sean and Kirk watched Corinne and Caroline leave from their spot nearby. Sean patted Kirk on the shoulder and said, "So, you guys called the ambulance in the middle of the night to make this look more believable. I thought something had happened to you, but I guess I was worried for nothing."Kirk glanced at the hand on his shoulder and remained silent.Caroline hadn't just done it for her plan; she had also done it to preserve his dignity.She had known that Sean would definitely find out about Kirk's hospitalization, and she knew that if Sean heard about it, Gwen would also find out. When that happened, it wouldn't take long for their entire circle of friends to find out. Therefore, Caroline could effectively save his reputation by doing this."Carol just left with Corinne. Corinne will most likely take her to the Evans family's residence. Will Carol be okay over there?" Gwen asked.In contrast to Sean's focus on the hospital, Gwen was concerned about Caroline. No
"Take care of her?" Sarah was upset. How ridiculous! There was no way she would take care of Caroline. It made more sense for Caroline to take care of her.Corinne looked at Sarah and knew what the latter was thinking. Then, she glanced at Caroline. Fortunately, Caroline was looking around curiously and hadn't heard their conversation.She quickly called a housekeeper over. "Take my best friend, Caroline, upstairs to change her clothes."When the housekeeper heard the words "best friend", she understood what Corinne meant and took Caroline upstairs.When Caroline left, Corinne dropped her friendly facade. "Remember, Mom. I made Caroline get dementia so we could get Evans Group back. "If you don't take care of her, everyone else will know of her condition and fight to take care of her comfortably. "If that happens, she might consider giving the company to someone else. "Mom, do you not want Evans Group anymore?"Sarah quickly said, "Of course I do, but—"Corinne gave her a loo
But in actuality, if Caroline had given it some thought, even just a little bit, she would have realized that something was off. Unfortunately, she hadn't. Therefore, she had only figured out the truth later.But even if she had known the truth, she wouldn't have been able to take revenge on Sarah and Dan for ruining her life. She would still have had to be a part of this farce with them.At this thought, Caroline felt a tinge of sadness. What made her feel even more powerless was that she still didn't know who her biological parents were or whether they were still alive.Just when Caroline was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. She quickly masked her sadness and said, "Come in."Sarah walked into the room with a forced smile on her face. She looked even worse than a goblin.Caroline pretended not to notice it. Instead, she composed herself and looked at Sarah blankly.Sarah then realized that Caroline couldn't remember anything now because of her dementia."I'm Sar
Sarah was sweating profusely in panic when Corinne finally showed up.Sarah looked at Corinne as if she were a savior. When Corinne walked into the room, Sarah signaled to her with her eyes. "Caroline asked me who her parents are."Corinne took the hint. "My mom is truly getting old," she answered naturally. Since she had devised this plan, she had already thought ahead."Caroline, you've forgotten that your parents are already dead."Caroline said confidently, "Yeah, I did."Corinne was speechless.Before she could respond, Caroline asked again, "Hang on, your family looks wealthy. If my parents died long ago, I definitely must have had a bad financial situation. In that case, how did we become friends?"Corinne's mind went blank when she heard Caroline's question. Why did Caroline ask so many questions when she had dementia? She even asked such precise questions."Oh, here's the thing." Corinne quickly came up with a response. "Your parents died when you were an adult. "We
Caroline continued, "I want the sweet ones. I don't want it if they're not sweet.""Of course." Corinne nodded."I also want blueberries, apples, plums…" Caroline gave Corrine a bunch of requests.At first, Corinne was relaxed and at ease, but after Caroline gave her tenth request, she quickly took out her phone and wrote down the fruits Caroline had mentioned. When she was done, she realized that Caroline had asked for 25 or 26 kinds of fruits. Furthermore, she only wanted one thing, and that was for the fruits to be sweet.At first, Sarah didn't notice anything wrong with Caroline's request, but after hearing that Caroline wanted them sweet, she inevitably recalled the past. Although her memories of those times were fuzzy, she had paid some attention to Eddy's affairs. She remembered that Eddy had always complained that Caroline picked the fruits that weren't sweet, so he had thrown away all the fruits she gave him.However, Caroline had remained passive and hadn't bothere
After making sure the hospital director was speaking, Corinne said, "I'd like to file a complaint against Dr. Zavier Griffin."After all, Zavier was the doctor who had diagnosed Caroline with dementia.Things like these often happened in hospitals, so the director asked very calmly, "Why are you filing a complaint against him?""Dr. Griffin made a grave error in his diagnosis."The director's expression darkened when he heard her words. "Can you explain in more detail?"When Corinne heard the director's tone become stern, she knew she had tricked the director and smirked smugly. "Here's the thing. My friend is only in her 20s. There's no way she could have dementia. Moreover, she seems to have normal symptoms after returning home. "I suspect that Dr. Griffin doesn't have good medical skills and has made a misdiagnosis."The director pondered for a moment and said, "Although your friend is only in her 20s, and it's unlikely that she has dementia, in recent years, there have be
Caroline was thinking about how to deal with Sarah, Dan, and Corinne. Since she was living with them, it was the best opportunity to get back at them. Once she fell out with them, she wouldn't have such a good opportunity anymore.When she closed her eyes, her phone rang. It was Zavier calling. Caroline didn't have much of a reaction after she heard that Corinne had called the director. After a moment, she sneered."I got it. Go ahead and let her investigate. You just need to do your job and not let her discover the truth.""All right."After hanging up, Caroline closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.…The next day, Corinne knocked on Caroline's door. She was wearing a hat and sun protection gear, looking like she was about to go out."We're going out, Caroline." Corinne said with a smile, "We're getting you those fruits."Caroline sat up in bed. "Are you leaving now?""Yeah, you don't have to get out of bed. Just keep sleeping. We should be back in the afternoon.""Ar
Corinne only had one set of sun protection gear. Therefore, she had no choice but to borrow another set of gear from Sarah.However, Sarah's attention wasn't on the protection gear but on…"If Caroline comes with us, we have to pick the fruits ourselves, don't we?"Corinne barked, "I can't believe you're still concerned about this at a moment like this! Do you even want to get Evans Group back?"Sarah didn't want to suffer, so she said, "Can't we just tell the public that Caroline isn't an Evans? As long as we tell them, there's no way the people in Evans Group will let Caroline be the CEO!"Sarah was confident about that fact.Corinne said, "Are you an idiot, Mom? You're not the only one who wants Evans Group. Remember, only a handful of people are left in the Evans family, but if they find out Caroline isn't one of them, they'll have a huge advantage. "Just the fact that they're still in Evans Group proves that they are capable. In contrast, when Dad managed the company, it w
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
