"You'd better come up with a good treatment plan. Otherwise, know that my patience is limited." Kirk held onto the balcony railing as he spoke. His tone was so cold it could freeze someone on the spot.Michael looked at Sean in fear. Sean patted his shoulder and said, "Just tell us. How did Caroline's condition suddenly get so bad?"Michael shook his head. "I don't know either. According to what Mr. Morrison has recounted in the past few days, the madam seems to have shifted her attention to the acquisition of the Collins Group. That's a very good development when it comes to my treatment plan. So … how could it get this bad?"Sean looked at Kirk and said, "Kirk, did something unusual happen today?"Kirk's eyebrows furrowed. "Marietta Weiss found her daughter."Both Sean and Michael were very familiar with Caroline's current situation. Hearing this, the two showed expressions of understanding."This must have agitated the madam," Michael said. "Mr. Morrison, do you remember wha
Now, Gwen was shaking even more violently. She huddled in Sean's embrace and said, "How is this fair? How could Carol become embroiled in this when it was so difficult for her to escape the Morrison family?"Sean patted Gwen's back gently and sighed soundlessly.The rest of the night passed in silence, and none of them slept. Sean and Gwen didn't leave, keeping vigil in Caroline's apartment. The next day, when Caroline woke up and found her place filled with people, she was taken aback with shock. "Why are you guys here?"Caroline didn't have an inkling of what had happened last night at all. Seeing Caroline awake, Gwen lost it. Tears streamed from her eyes. "Carol, you're awake. How do you feel now?"Sitting upright in bed, Caroline shifted her suspicious gaze from Kirk to Gwen. "What happened to me?" She thought that she must have sweated a lot, considering how sticky she felt all over.Gwen's eyes turned red again as she quickly turned to look at Sean.Sean shot Caroline a
Kirk continued, "Carrie, you're the kindest person in the world. All you want is a home of your own, but God has put up so many barriers between you and that tiny wish. Do you think you're the one being selfish, or is it God who's being cruel?"Caroline's tears kept falling out of her control."Kirk, stop talking …" If he kept going, Caroline would feel she didn't deserve him even more, someone who understood her so well.Kirk gave a light laugh and tweaked Caroline's nose. He waited until she stabilized her emotions before speaking, "Darling, next time, you should tell me if you have any problems. You should think about yourself more. You have to put yourself first, not me. Understand?"Caroline nodded. "Then would you … worry that I might leave you?" Caroline had never said this because she was worried Kirk might overthink it."No." Kirk kissed Caroline's fingers. "We will never part."Finally, a smile appeared on Caroline's face. "You talked about a psychiatrist …" Carolin
When they got to the balcony, Sean didn't say anything. Unable to stand it, Kirk asked, "What did you ask me out here to talk about?"Looking at Kirk, Sean burst into laughter, which only caused Kirk to look even grimmer. "Kirk, you should really look at yourself in the mirror right now." Still laughing, he continued, "The way you look now, not even Charles would be able to recognize you, even if he's by your side all the time."Kirk pressed his lips together and didn't say anything. After a moment, he said, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now."Leaning against the railing, Sean looked into the distance. "I know that. And I'm not joking with you. Ever since you found out the kind of landmine your uncle left you before his death, you've been worried to bits. I can see all that. You might not admit it, but you can't say it's not true.""What in the world are you trying to say?"Sean turned to look at Kirk. "Kirk, you're exceptional at management. Plus, you're so sm
"Darling …" Kirk's magnetic voice pulled Caroline out of her thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"Caroline shook her head. "Oh, it's nothing. Do you want to go to the company with me?" He was probably bored from staying home all day.Kirk declined, "No, it's fine."Recently, he had been trying to expedite the transfer of his business from Macldo to Easton. If he wanted to remove Morrison Corporation from the running, he couldn't rely on the Collins Group's assets. He could only rival their assets by moving part of SY Group's industry to Easton.Caroline nodded. "Okay, if you get bored staying here, call me any time.""Okay."Kirk pulled Caroline into the car. Soon, the car arrived at the Evans Group's building.Caroline got out of the car. Then, Jack watched her disappear into the building before he turned around and asked Kirk, "Sir, will you be going home or to the company?"A sneer appeared on Kirk's lips. He asked, "How long has it been since you boxed?"Jack was start
Caroline said with a smile, "I'll do my best."Cheryl knew she was trying to comfort her, so she didn't take her words to heart. "Caroline, are you going to submit this document in the afternoon? Do you want me to do it for you?""No, it's fine. I'll submit it myself," Caroline said. It would be helpful to go out for a walk. "All right. Call me anytime if you need help."Caroline nodded at her words. After watching Cheryl leave, her expression turned solemn. When the test results were ready, the psychiatrist had told her that she felt so guilty because she was a good person."Don't be so hard on yourself."Caroline laid on her chair, exhausted. She wanted to forgive herself. However, she really couldn't put the blame for Jude's death on Howard alone because Jude had taken a bullet for her.Why did people always have to go through difficult problems in life? Caroline didn't know the answer to that question. She was just so tired. She was terrified that one day, she wouldn't
Caroline retorted, "Even if you get the Collins Group, you don't have what it takes to take the Evans Group back because it's under my control. "Layla looked at her maliciously. "Really? Caroline, when I get the Collins Group, you'll discover something that'll turn your life upside down. When that happens, even the Evans family will forsake you. Not to mention the Morrisons."Caroline replied calmly, "Then, I'd better get the Collins Group so my life won't be turned upside down."Layla laughed at her words. "I can't believe you're still dreaming, Caroline. Ed has already made it clear that he will endorse me. Do you really think you have a chance? Besides, who'll endorse you? That poor husband of yours?"Caroline glared at Layla."What? Are you going to hit me? Remember, there are surveillance cameras here!" Layla challenged, swallowing. Caroline's glare was terrifying. It was like a hungry wolf staring at a piece of flesh."Why would I hit you?" Caroline pinched Layla's cheek
Caroline went home after submitting the documents. She was surprised to see that Kirk wasn't home. However, she wasn't concerned in the slightest.Although Kirk had resigned from his job, he still had his own social life. It was normal for him to be away from home occasionally. Since Kirk wasn't home, she could take this chance to buy groceries and cook him a big meal. Due to Jude's death, Caroline hadn't cooked for Kirk for a long time.Hence, she went to the farmer's market to buy groceries. When she returned home, Kirk still wasn't home. So she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.When Caroline was almost done cooking, she heard noises outside the door. She stood at the door, smiling, waiting for Kirk to enter. However, when she saw a rather disgruntled Kirk, her expression froze.Kirk hadn’t expected to see Caroline at home, and he quickly hid his anger. "What are you doing home?"Caroline replied, "I came home after getting off work. What happened to you? Did you get into a
