Caroline didn't care about that. Apart from Jude, she wasn't really close to any of the other Morrisons, after all. "I'm calling a substitute driver, so I'm hanging up." She hung up and called for a driver. Fortunately, she was still in the city, so it was easy for her to find one.It was about 5 pm when she reached Osbury. The sky had a crimson hue to it, and the sun gradually made its descent, making the world look ever so peaceful. However, Caroline's heart was the opposite of that. When she arrived home, she noticed the pair of men's slippers on the shoe rack. Restless, she placed them in the cabinet to avoid seeing them again. Just as she sat down on the couch, she received a call from Simon. "Mr. Zellen, is something the matter?""Ms. Evans, are you back in Osbury?" "Yes. I just returned." "Mr. Morrison Senior asked for you to come to the hospital." Caroline recalled what Gwen told her, and her heart jumped into her throat. "Is Grandpa okay?" "It's not him." Sim

Caroline turned to look at him. "What?""Didn't you promise Grandpa that you'd take care of me?" Eddy stared at her with anxious eyes. "Don't tell me you're breaking your promise." Caroline didn't feel like entertaining him. She simply walked out of the room to ask the bodyguards where the kitchen was. One of them led her straight to the kitchen, which was full of a variety of vegetables, poultry, and meat. Everything had been rinsed and cleaned beforehand. All Caroline had to do was cook. Before this, she'd been in charge of all three of Eddy's meals every day. Naturally, she knew his preferences. Now, though, she didn't want to cook based on that anymore. She'd be cooking whatever she wanted! After half an hour, the bodyguard brought two dishes into Eddy's room. Both of them were steamed asparagus. Eddy's face contorted in disgust at the sight of them. "What else did you cook?" "Nothing." Picking up her plate of asparagus, Caroline sat at the table and started eating the

Kirk picked up his phone and made a call. "Bring Blue Moon over."Sean gasped. Blue Moon was the most expensive diamond ring in the world.Back in the day, Ivan had bought Blue Moon for his wife to thank her for helping him build his business. The ring had cost a whopping 300 million dollars. Before she'd passed away, she'd given the ring back to Ivan. She said it was meant for their future daughter-in-law.By doing this, Kirk was …On the other end of the call, Ivan sounded very moved. "Alright, I'll arrange to have it sent to you immediately!"…At the hospital, Eddy finished eating his steamed asparagus with disdain.Once the bodyguard took the plate away, Caroline got up to leave as well.Seeing that, Eddy blurted out, "Where are you going?""Home," Caroline replied."But Grandpa asked you to take care of me.""Grandpa only asked me to take care of your food. From tomorrow on, I'll bring you meals."Eddy's expression, which had been one of disappointment seconds a

Kirk's eyes narrowed."Are you going to join the design competition too?""Yes." Caroline walked out after washing up. She kept her head down and didn't look at Kirk. After thinking about it, she hid in the kitchen. "What would you like to eat?"Kirk leaned against the glass kitchen door. "Sleep first. I'll buy you breakfast.""I can't." Caroline sniffed. "I have to send food for Eddy too."Kirk's gaze darkened. "You're sending him food?"Kirk had just returned from the hospital. He'd already found out that Eddy had been admitted yesterday."Yes. He's very picky with food." Caroline had experienced it firsthand. Eddy would make a huge fuss if the food wasn't to his liking. "Enough talk. Wait outside; breakfast will be done in a bit."Caroline didn't want to spend time with Kirk under the same roof.Kirk suppressed his displeasure. "Do you still care about him?"The noise of the kitchen hood overpowered Kirk's voice. Caroline didn't hear what he'd said. She started cooking.T

"Hey, just ignore her. She's nearly gone mad after the gossip about her marriage to Mr. Morrison being a mistake." Gwen hurriedly opened the food container with her supper. She inhaled. "It smells great. Carol, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking!"Caroline glanced at the parking lot. "You go ahead and eat. I'm going to take some supper to Kirk.""Why the rush? Don't you want to wait until that crazy Brie leaves?"Caroline smiled. "I can guess who she's here to see. I won't bump into her.""Alright, sure." Gwen's attention was on the food. "Go ahead then."Caroline got up and headed to the parking lot with the food container. Then, she went to the Morrison Corporation building.She'd used to bring food for Eddy when he'd done overtime before. She'd gotten used to how coldly he treated her.Yet she felt nervous as she stood there tonight."Ms. Evans!"The security guard recognized Caroline at a glance. He sounded sympathetic as he said, "Are you bringing Mr. Edd

Brie gritted her teeth. She seemed to have realized something and scoffed. She said, "Forget it. What's the point of arguing this with you? Look—"Brie turned around and picked up a velvet box from the table. She flipped it open.She showed off the contents of the box. Inside was a ring with a rare pink diamond.Caroline's brain started buzzing.Before she could react, Brie took out the diamond ring and put it on her index finger. "He bought this especially for me. Isn't it beautiful?"The ring gleamed in the warm light of the room. The sight made Caroline's heart ache. She put a hand over her heart and said, "It's really you!"The other woman Kirk had was really Brie Collins!"Of course it's me." Brie misunderstood Caroline. She was pleased as she said, "Would it be for you instead? Dream on. Just look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy of him?"Caroline's eyes were already starting to sting. She blinked and bit her lip hard. After a second, she said in a low voice, "Ac

Anxious, Caroline blared the car horn. Even so, Kirk stood in place.Caroline gritted her teeth and made her decision. She slowly drove the car closer.Kirk still didn't budge. He watched Caroline drive closer without even blinking.There was no breeze that night. The light from above shone on his features, making them seem deeper and clearer.With the glow of the lamplight, Kirk could see Caroline inside the car, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly.The car slowed, inching ahead gradually.After a long while, Caroline finally lost it. She slammed on the brakes.Caroline rushed out of the car. "Are you mad? Don't you know you could have died if you didn't move aside?"Kirk's lips curled up slightly. He held up the food container. "Did you bring this for me?""No!" Caroline denied it without hesitating.Kirk went up to take Caroline's hand. He'd been in such a bad mood when he'd found out Caroline was cooking for Eddy. He'd gone to a boxing club to vent his frust

Since he'd gotten back, Sean had kept going out to look for good food.Early that morning, he was lazing at home, having breakfast. He still hadn't dug into his fresh croissants when the front door slammed open.That action was filled with rage, so Sean could tell that the person wasn't anyone nice.He put down his croissant. Before he could take a few steps, he saw an angry Kirk."What's up? Did you get into another fight with Ms. Evans?"Kirk cast him a look. His lips were flattened into a thin line.Sean pointed at himself. "Did I offend you?"That couldn't be right! When had he offended Kirk?Kirk's eyes narrowed as he kept silent.Sean really felt defeated. He handed Kirk a croissant. "There's nothing some croissants can't fix. If one can't fix it, have more."Kirk tried to keep his anger controlled. "Sean Yates."Sean sensed that something was amiss. He put his smile away."What's going on? How am I supposed to fix it if you don't tell me?"Kirk shot him a look but 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
