Chapter 577

Author: Shining Riviera
After replying to Kirk's text, Caroline sent him another text after a moment's thought. "I'll be home on time."

When Kirk saw her text, he knew that she didn't understand what he was worried about.

But her ignorance made him feel at ease. It proved that she still believed what he said without any doubts, and she had no suspicions about his identity.

Nearby, Charles had long noticed that Kirk was lost in thought.

He reassured, "You should take it easy, sir. Although Mr. Morrison Senior has begun suspecting you're the madam's husband, you've never taken a photo with him.

"Even if he's suspicious of you, he wouldn't have a photo to show her to confirm his theories."

Kirk's eyes darkened at his words. He said, "Just because he doesn't have a photo now doesn't mean he won't have one in the future."

He had to find the right time to tell Caroline about his identity. Otherwise, this fact would eventually become a ticking time bomb for him. It constantly made him uneasy.

    However, today, Eddy had only found out Caroline was here when he called Simon, and he heard him say that he had to prepare dinner. Upon hearing the news, he had immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried home.However, he hadn't expected Jude to despise his presence here. He said, "I left something at home."Jude glanced at Eddy, but he didn't expose his lie. Ever since he had discovered that disagreeing with Eddy was effective, he kept this method in mind. Now, not only had he stopped matchmaking Eddy and Caroline, but he even deliberately opposed them getting together. He hoped that, by doing this, Eddy and Caroline could get married before he died."Then, you should leave after you get them." Jude said flatly, "Don't interrupt my chat with Carrie."Eddy was speechless. Was Jude an imposter or something?"Grandpa, since I'm already home, I'll have dinner with you here. It's almost dinner time anyway."After Eddy said this, Caroline noticed he was right. It was a

    After a long while, Kirk replied, "All right. I'll check my schedule, and I'll let you know when I'm free.""Okay," Caroline replied with a smile emoji. "I'll be having my dinner now. Make sure you have an early dinner, too."Kirk replied, "Okay."However, his eyes were still fixed on Caroline's previous messages. That old man insisted on confirming things with his own eyes. He would only give up after seeing that Caroline's husband wasn't him. If Kirk didn't meet up with Jude, that old man would definitely get to the bottom of things. But if he did, his identity would be exposed. Perhaps he could confess the truth to Caroline before meeting Jude. However, if he did that …Kirk's mind was in a mess. He narrowed his eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table, his gaze becoming darker and darker.…Meanwhile, Jude ignored Eddy throughout the entire dinner and only talked with Caroline. "You should eat more of this, Carrie. You've lost a lot of weight. You must ask your husb

    Eddy looked at Jude sadly. "Grandpa, are you—"Jude smiled and said to Eddy, "Eddy, I was wrong for constantly pressuring you to marry Caroline. It ruined the relationship between the two of you. "I've thought about things recently, and I shouldn't have interfered with your relationship. Don't worry. I'll agree to whoever you want to marry from now on."After a pause, Jude continued, "By the way, weren't you considering getting married to Layla? I've thought about it too. You're already a grownup, so it's time to start a family."Eddy's spoon fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up. After a long while, he raised his head from under the table and asked in disbelief, "Ahem. Grandpa, are you for real?"Jude said with a smile, "Of course."Eddy coughed more violently.Jude pretended not to notice anything and asked, "What's wrong, Eddy? Are you that happy? I was wrong before. I promise I won't make the same mistake again."Eddy coughed even more. He couldn't say a

    Both Caroline and Eddy fell silent. None of them took the initiative to speak in the car. To be honest, she found the silence rather pleasant. Unfortunately for her, Eddy chose to break the silence by saying, "Don't take what Grandpa said to heart." Confused, Caroline turned to look at him. "What are you talking about?" Eddy knitted his brows and said, "When he said he wanted you and your husband to live a good life together." Straightening her back, she told him, "Are you going to tell me to get a divorce then? Who are you to say those words? How I live my life is none of your business!"Eddy opened his mouth to retort, but in the end, all he could say was, "He's not the one for you." "How is he not the one for me?" Caroline snapped. She could turn a blind eye if they were talking about something else, but not when it concerned Kirk."I don't believe there's any man who's more deserving of me than him," she said."Have you heard of soulmates before? He's my soulmate. Al

    Eddy sounded so surprised that his tone snapped Caroline out of her daze. She looked at him strangely. "Why are you so surprised? It's not like this is your first time hearing this."Eddy froze. "Does she make things difficult for you all the time?" His question made Caroline laugh out loud. "Don't tell me you don't know about this. "You know fairly well that she pretended to be sick just so she could get one of my kidneys. I'm not buying it if you tell me that you don't know about it." "I asked her to apologize to you for that," Eddy explained. "She did that because Grandpa forced me to marry you back then—""Is that a valid reason for her to hurt someone else? So I have the right to kill someone because of something, then?" Caroline stared right into his eyes as she spoke. "I get to explain myself because I lived. If I had died …"Caroline's gaze turned cold. "You would all think that I deserved it." "I—" Eddy started but was cut short with a wave of her hand. She di

    As the years had passed, Eddy had never doubted that. When he had been 16 years old, Caroline had returned. She had grown up into a graceful and extraordinary young woman, but she seemed to have forgotten every single memory of them. It had infuriated Eddy and also made him even more certain that Layla was the one who had saved him back then. This was the reason he hated Caroline so much.From time to time, he would reminisce about the past, yet Caroline remembered nothing about what had happened. He had asked her about the incident several times before, but she would always shake her head and ask him if something like that had actually happened before. Thinking of that incident now, he glanced back at Caroline. "You were around five years old when I was seven or eight years old. Do you remember anything about us getting kidnapped?" Caroline stared back at him in confusion. He had asked her this same question over and over again. She returned from overseas when she had

    Caroline hooked her arms around Kirk's waist. "Don't worry. I'll always come back. I would come back home even if it rained daggers." Kirk loosened his arms around her slightly. Staring at her dazzling eyes, he smiled back at her and said, "Let's go back in.""Okay," she replied, letting him carry her into the house. "Kirk.""Yeah?""Do you remember things that happened when you were young?" After placing her down on a chair, Kirk knelt and helped her take off her shoes. "When I was young?" He glanced up at her. "How young?" "When you were about five years old." "Yes, I do." Caroline's eyes lit up at his words. "What were you doing at that time?"Remembering how he started following his father around to run business errands, Kirk couldn't help but laugh. "Nothing special. I went to kindergarten and played with my friends. Sometimes, I would play with my father too." Propping up her chin in her arm, Caroline said, "I'm so jealous of you ... I can't remember what

    Caroline sat up on the bed. She was simply too happy for Marietta. "That's wonderful! Where is she?" "I haven't found her yet." Marietta sounded a little down. "I only know that a couple from Easton adopted her and that they're from Osbury. I've discussed it with my assistant, and I'll be flying there tonight."Caroline checked the time. It should be night-time on Marietta's side now. "When will your flight land? I can pick you up.""You don't have to," replied Marietta. "I'll thank you properly once I manage to find my daughter." Caroline smiled. "Okay. I'll be waiting for good news." "That's all, I guess. I have to make preparations for something else." "Okay." Caroline ended the call just in time to see Kirk enter the room with a glass of water. She could sense the jealousy in his voice when he spoke. "Who called you? Why are you so happy?" "It was Marietta." Caroline laughed. "What is it? Are you jealous of a woman?" Kirk froze. He had assumed that Eddy had

    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
