In Sean's room, Gwen and Sean were about to leave when they saw Kirk coming over with some medication.

Gwen asked anxiously, "Is Caroline sick?"

Kirk nodded and handed the booklet of instructions that came with the medication to Sean. "Have a look and see if this medicine has any side effects."

Sean looked through it and answered, "There won't be any side effects. You can give it to her without any worries."

After that, he asked, "How did she get sick?"

"I don't know." Kirk frowned.

"The Macovian doctor said that Caroline might just not be used to it here."

Sean replied, "I'll go have a look at her."

The three of them headed back to Kirk's room.

Caroline couldn't close her eyes in time and watched as the trio came inside. But her gaze quickly fell on Gwen as she did her best to ignore Kirk's presence.

"Carol …" Gwen looked over at Caroline in worry.

"Do you feel really bad?"

Caroline shook her head. The discomfort from her sickness was nothing compared to the agony in

    Kirk was violently taken aback.His first thought was that his identity had been exposed. But soon, he calmed down again and thought carefully about the people Caroline had come into contact with. He didn't recall anyone giving anything away.As Kirk fell deep into thought, Caroline watched him carefully. Seeing that he didn't answer after a long time, her heart fell. She closed her eyes again and said, "I'm so tired. I want to sleep for a while."She didn't dare to hear Kirk's answer. She had always believed that Kirk wouldn't lie to her. Her conviction on this had never wavered. But now, her confidence was destroyed.The trust that she had had in him seemed like a joke now."Darling …""Let's go back to Easton tomorrow." Caroline turned over, facing her back to Kirk. Kirk froze for a bit, his brain lagging for a few seconds. He had already made preparations to tell Caroline about his connection to the Morrison family. But he hadn't expected that Caroline would react this

    Caroline prodded, saying, "Tell me. No matter what you say, I won't get mad.""Actually, I think that if I had found out earlier on that you wanted to compete for the position of the Evans Group's CEO, I might not have supported you. You know, Layla had Eddy's support. With just that alone, she could have gotten the shareholders to pick her."Gwen continued, "But Kirk is different. He believed in you from start to finish. He probably didn't even voice a word of doubt. It doesn't matter if it's because of his superb observation skills or his trust in you as the woman he loves. "What I know is that a true married couple will always support each other. They wouldn't sabotage each other, like my parents.""I'm sorry," Caroline murmured."It's okay." Gwen took a breath and continued, "But you. Why are you suddenly asking this?"Caroline looked at Gwen and blinked. "Did you find any witnesses?"When Caroline brought this up, Gwen frowned in annoyance. "It's not that easy. But the

    Caroline's body was tense all over. Under the covers, she pinched her thigh hard, using the pain to force herself to be ruthless. She ignored the pitiful tone in Kirk's voice and said, "Nothing. I'm just tired, so I don't want to talk. Have you bought the plane tickets to head back tomorrow?"Kirk reached out a hand to brush away the hair plastered to Caroline's forehead.But she evaded his touch once again. Looking at his hand, his heart felt like it had been wrung out after Caroline ducked away from it. Still, he said warmly and dotingly, "No need to buy plane tickets. We'll just take a private flight back."Caroline felt a strong desire to ask about it, but it was like there was magic every time Kirk opened his mouth, filling her with guilt. Besides, the idea that Kirk hadn't tricked her kept bursting free, and it took all of her strength to clamp that thought down."Alright. I'm going back to sleep.""Okay." Kirk helped cover her with the blanket.This time, Caroline di

    "Is your family okay?" Kirk changed the topic in a very awkward manner. He was trying to get Caroline to talk, even if it was to Jack. It had been a long time since he had heard Caroline say anything. It was like she refused to speak as long as he was there."Th—they're okay …" Jack looked at Caroline and found that she had a cold expression. She only nodded before getting into the car. It was the exact kind of behavior that Kirk used to have.Jack was so shocked that his eyes bulged. What was going on? Had their souls switched bodies or something?"What about work?" Kirk smoothly got into the car and continued. "Oh, right. How are things at Evans Group?"Now, Jack was 100% sure that they had switched bodies. Why else would Kirk ask about Evans Group? Thinking of this, all the illogical aspects of this interaction suddenly made sense."Evans Group is doing quite well. Although Ms. Evans wasn't at the company, the remaining staff were very well-behaved after all the people wh

    After a moment, Kirk walked to the balcony and answered the call."You're finally answering, little brother." A charismatic voice came through the phone. "Are you still unable to bear returning from your lover's embrace?"Kirk frowned, his mouth twisting into a mocking smile. "Your memory is terrible. Haven't I told you that we're not related?"The caller chuckled. "Indeed, we have no blood relations. But I'm still Dad's son. This is a fact that the government of Macldo recognizes."Kirk's eyes narrowed. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't have time for this, and neither do you.""Oh, my sweet little brother, you understand me best. That's right, I'm here to warn you. "During the time you've spent stretching your legs in Easton, I've stopped lying in wait and started slowly taking up all your assets in Sarcozia. I'm sure you'll soon receive a call from them. "I wish you good luck, my dear, sweet little brother." After that, the caller hung up.Kirk's ex

    Quentin laughed and said, "It's only a small matter. Oh, right. Where are you right now?"Caroline replied, "I'm at home." A sudden sputtering noise came through the line, which made Caroline ask in curiosity, "What happened?"Quentin wiped the water from his mouth and said, "N—nothing …" He only pitied his friend for coming up empty-handed again. He couldn't help but wonder if this was the universe's way of telling Adrian that he should give up pursuing Caroline. After all, they really didn't have that kind of destiny.Holding onto his phone, Quentin wondered if he should give Adrian a call and tell him about this news.…The next day, Caroline replied with an "Okay" after receiving Kirk's message saying that he'd arrived safely. This response put both Caroline and Kirk at ease.Kirk was relieved because Caroline was still responding to him, so their relationship still had a chance of being fixed.Caroline was put at ease because she had been worrying about Kirk ever sinc

    The design department didn't have any objections, so Caroline held a meeting with the higher-ups of the other departments. None of them had any issues after seeing the drafts either."I think the most crucial issue here now is," the new marketing director said, pained, "how to classify our products. "I've gone through every season of Evans Group's products. There are high-end products and low-end ones, even middle-end ones. It can be seen that we were trying to cover all the layers of the market, but the outcome wasn't ideal.""I've thought about this issue." Caroline spread out the documents in her hand. "For the current Evans Group, it's tough to get into the high-end market due to our lack of funds and capabilities. That's why we're choosing to go with the middle-end market. "With this horoscope theme, we're targeting the middle and low-end markets. The main thing is to put our name out there."The advertising director said, "If we do that, advertising will be difficult.

    Caroline took a deep breath as she typed out Kirk's name with trembling fingers. "If you need a photo, I may need some time to get one," she added in her text. She had just remembered how she had a precious few photos of herself and Kirk. If Marina needed her to provide a photo of Kirk, she would have to wait for Cook to finish up with the photos.Marina replied, "There's no need. He's from Easton, right? This isn't a common name here, so there shouldn't be too many people with the same name. It'll be easy to find the right person. "When I get the information, I'll send everything about Kirk Morrison to you."Caroline felt very grateful. She responded, "Thank you. If you ever have the time, come to Easton and I'll take you around."Marina sent her a GIF saying, "No need to thank me," before sending another message. It read, "When we were in school, I heard classmates saying that you're the fiancée of the heir of the Morrison family. What happened? Have you guys married after s

    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
