Gwen said, "Just ignore him, Carol. We can't trust anything this bastard says. Let's go."Caroline hesitated for a moment. Then, she held Gwen still. "Go ahead."She had finally looked at Eddy. It made Eddy's skip a beat. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced at Gwen and said, "Can I talk to you in private?""I can't believe you—"Caroline patted the impatient Gwen. "All right, but I'll only talk to you in public."Eddy was overjoyed, but he quickly held back his emotions. He looked at the hotel and then pointed at the fountain. "Let's talk over there."Caroline didn't object to his suggestion. After asking Gwen to wait for her, she followed Eddy to the fountain.When they arrived, Caroline quickly asked, "What do you want to say about my husband?"Eddy secretly smiled wryly. Sure enough, only Kirk could tug at Caroline's heartstrings. "I know who your husband is."When Caroline heard his words, alarm bells rang in her head. She asked, "What are you going to do to hi
Eddy still wanted to plead his innocence, but Gwen had already pulled Caroline away. She snarled, "Let's go, Carol."Caroline let Gwen pull her to the car."Carol …" When they got to the car, Gwen discovered that Caroline's limbs were cold. She was so frightened that she couldn't resist nudging Caroline gently.Caroline still didn't respond. She kept looking straight ahead.Gwen remembered Caroline's illness. She was about to call Sean anxiously when Caroline spoke up in a very soft voice. "Gwen, can you not tell Sean that we met Eddy here for now?"When Gwen heard Caroline speak, she patted her chest and sighed in relief. "Carol, you scared me. What on earth did that bastard Eddy say to you?"Caroline's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't answer her.Gwen nervously held Caroline's hand. "Carol, please don't scare me …""I'm fine." When Caroline felt the warmth on her hand, her gaze returned to normal. She murmured again, "I'm fine." However, she looked anything but f
When Caroline didn't answer the phone, the bad feeling in Kirk's heart became more intense.Seeing this, Sean patted Kirk's shoulder. "She's just hanging out with Gwen. Why are you so nervous?"Kirk frowned, remaining silent. The call still hadn’t been accepted.Sean asked, "Why don't I call Gwen?"When Sean saw that Kirk had no intention of stopping him, he called Gwen.Gwen saw Sean's name appear on her phone and quickly looked at Caroline. "Carol …"Caroline returned to her senses and also saw Sean's name on Gwen's phone. "Gwen, you should answer the phone. I really don't want to talk to Kirk right now.""Okay." Gwen walked to the balcony and answered the phone.When the call connected, she heard Sean's gentle voice, "Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"Gwen glanced at Caroline, who was lying lifelessly on the bed, and felt annoyed. "Is something the matter?"Realizing that Gwen's tone sounded unfriendly, Sean was stunned. He quickly glanced at Kirk and lowe
Caroline looked at her phone. After a moment, she opened her contact list. However, the moment she was about to dial Kirk's number, she changed her mind. She was afraid that her worst thoughts would come true.At this moment, Michael sent her a message, informing her that her treatment was scheduled for two days later. However, Caroline didn't have the energy to deal with it right now, so she swiped the notification away.Gwen noticed her actions by chance and asked curiously, "Are you still making therapy appointments with Dr. Caldwell?""Yeah." Caroline's eyes landed on Kirk's number. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind to call him.Kirk quickly answered the call as if he had been waiting for her to call him.Caroline felt her heart falling to pieces."I called you just now ..." Kirk spoke with a cautious tone as if he was afraid of hurting her.Caroline's heart melted at his tone, and she felt her eyes tear up slightly. "Oh, I went to the bathroom. I hadn’t tak
Michael was puzzled to see Caroline's text. "Why?"Caroline didn't give him a reason but insisted on getting the treatment the next day itself.When Michael saw her message, he couldn't say anything else. After all, the one who was paying had the most say in this.After deciding on a time for the appointment, Caroline finally found some peace within her panicked heart. She sat limply in her chair. Now, she just had to wait for tomorrow to arrive....Even after finishing the call with Caroline, Kirk still had a frown on his face. He did his work absentmindedly."Hang on, didn’t Caroline answer your call? Why are you still upset?" Sean asked in confusion.Kirk said nothing in response. He simply looked at the ground gloomily.Sean nudged him. Only then did Kirk look up at him. Then, Sean noticed some emotions swirling in Kirk’s eyes, as if thoughts were brewing in his mind. "W-What’s wrong?"Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose. "Nothing.""It doesn't look like it." Sean wa
Soon, Gwen and Caroline arrived at Michael's clinic. Gwen had originally planned to wait for Caroline outside the treatment room, but Caroline persuaded her to leave. "I'll just take a cab home. You should go home for now.""Are you sure you'll be fine?""Dr. Caldwell wants to talk to me alone. I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know how long you'll have to wait if you stay.""Okay." Gwen had no choice but to leave the clinic.After watching Gwen leave, Caroline turned to Michael. "Let’s begin, Dr. Caldwell."Michael hesitated to say something.Caroline smiled slightly. "I've already prepared myself.""All right. In that case, come with me." Michael led Caroline to a special treatment room.The outer walls of this room were covered in iron. It looked heavily guarded.Michael opened the door. Caroline saw a chair with a bunch of threatening-looking equipment next to it."Sit down over there." Michael kept close attention to the changes in Caroline's expression
Gwen regretted her words after she said them. Unfortunately, she couldn't take back her words. Having no other choice, she looked at Sean resolutely."So …" Sean narrowed his eyes and repeated, "If I don't let you pass, you'll end our relationship. Is that right?""Yes," Gwen said tremblingly."So our bond is just that weak." Sean smiled wryly. "After you went through so much, I thought you would never part ways with me, even if you never thought about being with me for the rest of your life."Gwen clenched her fists. "I'm not talking about this right now. Get out of the way. I can't let Kirk go in there!" She wouldn't let Kirk hurt Caroline."Okay." Sean took a deep breath, willing himself to calm down. Then, he slowly said, "Okay, let's not talk about us. Instead, we'll talk about Kirk and Caroline. "You and I clearly know how well he treats her. When they first got married, Kirk didn't even know that Caroline was Eddy's fiancée."But later on, he found out about it and
Michael quickly left the room.After he did, Sean couldn't afford to waste any time. "Kirk, you have to make a decision. You can either let Caroline suffer in pain or … let her forget about you."Gwen held her breath, looking at Kirk nervously. At this moment, she didn't know what choice Kirk would make. If he truly loved Caroline, whatever decision he made would be painful for him.Time passed, and Gwen felt as if a century had passed. She heard Kirk's voice, filled with pain. "Get her to … forget about me."After saying that, Kirk visibly became haggard.Gwen felt a little distressed at the sight. She frowned. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no other choice?" Her voice was shaky.Sean looked at her. "Since he made his decision, we'll leave the room."Gwen looked reluctantly at Caroline, who was lying on the bed. She took a while to leave the consultation room.Just as she was about to turn around and take one last look at Caroline, the door cl
